IOS 16.1 Issues in Maps

Ever since this upgrade I have two annoying issues:

The voice when using maps navigation is extremely low, barely understandable. I've tried everything posted online to fix this to no avail.
I used to be able to say "route detail" and get the map detail. Now the response is "I can't search the internet while you're driving." How do I get the route detail to appear instead of the overview?

Thank you!

Thank you! I did figure it out. You need to be plugged into apple car play and when the spoken directions start use the volume control on your car, not your phone. Hope this helps others!

Hi Jaynewal,

You'll want to adjust the volume of your iPhone while the directions are being spoken to increase the volume. Here are how you adjust additional Spoken Directions settings in Maps:

"Change other settings for spoken directions

Go to Settings > Maps > Spoken Directions, then turn on or off the following options:

Directions Pause Spoken Audio: Turn on this setting to pause spoken audio (like podcasts and audio books) when you receive spoken directions.
Directions Wake Device: Turn on this setting to wake the iPhone display when you receive spoken directions while following driving or cycling directions.
Directions on Radio: On supported cars, turn on this setting to hear spoken directions when you’re listening to the radio."

You can read the full resource here: Change settings for spoken directions in Maps on iPhone

Additionally you may find some information from this page helpful as well: Get driving directions in Maps on iPhone

Take care.
