Maps GPS Directions Voice, It's now LOW

Maps GPS Directions Voice, It's now LOW


I have a iPhone 11; also, I use HondaLink for my apps.


 Previously, my car radio volume (not loud) when using Apple Maps GPS, the directions voice

was loud enough for me to hear directions (over radio’s volume) .. whether or not I wore my hearing aids.


NOW, Maps GPS direction voice is LOW.


I’m unable to hear the GPS voice directions over my car radio volume.


I googled (tried everything) and have not found a remedy.


I read .. the sound setting in Maps is no longer there to adjust.


I'm hard of hearing and must be able to hear the Map directions.


If true, why did Apple remove the setting (hide settings/ not allow people a way to find info)?


FYI:


1.    My Ringtones, are on high.


2.    Driving, on the screen, Maps ‘Volume’ is 'on' (not muted).


3.    Accessibility


Hearing Devices: When I wear my HA’s, both show 'connected'.


4.    Someone said the GPS voice volume for Maps adjust feature was removed.


That person (said they) fixed the volume problem as follows:


Settings

> Siri & Search


> Siri Voice. Select the voice you want to use; while it’s speaking use

iPhone's volume and adjust buttons to turn volume up or down.


NOTE:

I followed #4 instructions, and my iPhone's volume is already set on high.


HELP!

I must use Maps daily. GPS voice (over radio) is low and it's frustrating.

If you have a hearing or sound issue on your device then please try some of these processes to set it right


  1. If you have a distorted sound issue on your iPhone --> If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad
  2. If you are not able to hear the other person, click this...>If you can't hear a person on a call or voicemail or if the sound isn't ...
  3. If you only hear through speakerphone mode --> If your iPhone is stuck in headphone mode - Apple Support

If the above options do not mitigate the issues then Contact your carrier and then Contact Apple Support

#1 Concern: When driving, using maps, the spoken directions

volume was ‘Low’…


 


Resolution: As directions are spoken, to increase or

decrease the spoken directions volume -- turn radio nob up (increase volume) or

down radio nob down (decrease volume).


 


#2 Unable to hear spoken directions in hearing aid’s …


 


Resolution:


 


1.    

iPhone is plugged in >  Maps is selected > directions are heard

through the speaker.


 


2.    

iPhone is not plugged in >Maps is selected

> directions are heard through the HA’s



NOTE: My Honda CRV does not have navigation installed; must

plug-in iPhone, select Maps.
