Was the maps app changed recently? It has stopped talking through my car radio as it had been ever since I bought my iPhone 11.
BUT, Siri still uses the radio to talk to me when I ask a question?!?
Settings > Maps > Spoken Directions is set to Normal Volume, and Directions on Radio is turned on.
iPhone 11, iOS 17
OfTheSea165 ~ Here's what we know about what's changed recently:
About iOS 17 Updates - Apple Support
And Apple's iPhone User Guide says: "If your iPhone isn’t working as expected, you can try restarting it by turning it off, then turning it back on. If turning it off and on doesn’t fix the issue, try forcing it to restart.":
Turn iPhone on or off - Apple Support
...If that doesn't help, a weak, aging battery can cause a variety of issues. So does your iPhone 11 still have its original battery?
And what's the Maximum Capacity % here?...
Settings > Battery > Battery Health & Charging

Alright, well just believe that 73% is not healthy and well below Apple's recommended 80% for replacing the battery. Consider having the weak, aging battery replaced sooner rather than later — because a severely degraded battery such as yours can result in 'bricking' that iPhone.

@Alancito, thank you for replying so quickly. I did do a restart, but it didn't fix the issue.
I still have the original battery. Maximum Capacity is 73%.
I have a hard time believing that an issue with the battery would cause Maps to speak through the phone but Siri to speak through the radio. Seems like a settings issue, or some sort of update to the Maps app.
If I remember correctly, there used to be a setting in Maps, when navigating, which allowed me to select where the voice output would be directed: MyCar, iPhone speaker, etc. I don't see that anymore.
