Maps Navigation Speech Bubble

I have recently and never before seen an empty speech bubble in Maps while using Navigation in CarPlay.



I was hoping that anyone can indicate its significance to me.


Thank you!

Hey Hackberger,


Checking out the resources for Maps icons, this one doesn't appear:


View maps on iPhone - Apple Support

Get directions in Maps on Mac - Apple Support

Show traffic conditions in Maps on Mac - Apple Support


Does this happen each time you get directions or does it appear to be only certain directions? Does restarting the Maps app and your iPhone help? These steps can sometimes help with fresh connections.


Close an app on your iPhone or iPod touch - Apple Support

Restart your iPhone - Apple Support


Keep us posted.


Take care!

Hello!


I have been keeping a close eye on the speech bubbles during navigation. They continue to pop up occasionally.


The most applicable at the moment seems to me to be that they announce when you are about to enter a street with a different designation.


I can definitely rule out that they are related to traffic conditions or road conditions.





Never they reveal their true purpose as the bubbles are alway empty.


This is in iOS 16.0.3.


Thank you very much!
