iPhone XR and Maps app

I get the Car Play and Maps app fine, BUT I don't receive the sound directions when driving. I have to look at the screen off and on to see where I'm supposed to navigate; rather dangerous.

iPhone XR, iOS 15

Hey there jopapas514,


We recommend using the guidance below to help with turn-by-turn directions when using CarPlay:


Or you can use your vehicle’s built-in controls to open Maps in CarPlay and select a route.

Note: If you’re viewing CarPlay Dashboard and Maps doesn’t appear in the recent apps list on the left, tap the Home button to see pages of all of your CarPlay apps, including Maps.

1. With Maps open in CarPlay, do one of the following:
• Select a place you saved as a favorite. (See Save favorite places in Maps on iPhone.)
• Select Destinations, then select a recent destination or scroll to select a destination you saved in a collection. (See Organize places in My Guides in Maps on iPhone.)
• Select Search, then select the Microphone button to speak a search phrase, or select the Keyboard button to use the onscreen keyboard (if available). You can also select a destination from a category of nearby services, such as Parking or Restaurants.

2. If multiple routes appear, use your vehicle’s controls to select the route you prefer.
3. To call your destination before you leave, select the Phone button.
4. To start turn-by-turn directions, select Go.

Maps shows directions from your current location.

When you arrive at your destination and exit your vehicle, a parked car marker appears in Maps on iPhone so you can easily find your way back to your vehicle.
