Maps sound output

IOS 15 update we lost the option in Maps to pull up the lower right corner and choose where we wanted to hear the map voice. I always chose IPhone so the directions didn’t interrupt what was playing through the radio. The only way around it is to turn off Bluetooth. So disappointed this is missing or if it’s in a new place in maps or iPhone I can’t find it. Any help out there??

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 15

I have this exact same problem as do many friends.


My car connects to my phone for bluetooth hands free but doesn't allow maps sound through. Therefore I have no audio from maps at all, the App is now useless. The only way to get it to work is to disable bluetooth and then the voice uses the phone speaker but I loose my hands free for my Phone. This is not acceptable.

IOS14 used to allow you to select phone as an output.

I hope this is an IOS15 bug as at present there appears to be no way to fix this other than use Google Maps. This still supports sound from Phone speakers.
