iOS 6 - Maps No Sound

Just installed iOS6 on my iPhone 4S and thought I'd test the Maps app. I put in my directions and pressed the start button but thoughout my 2km Drive I got no sound instruction. I checked the Maps settings and the volume was up Loud. I also did a hard reset and still no sound. My model phone is MD241X/A.


any ideas ?

I am also having the same problem with no voice and turn-by-turn navigation. I have a 4S and live in the Philippines, which according to apple support should have or is supported. I don't even get to see the arrow on the street that suppose to indicate my position and all I get is the blue dot. And when moving, the directions written on the top (on a road sign visual) does not change (nor does the km reading) even when I have passed it. Looks like it is just stuck in an overview mode.


Any suggestions on how to fix this? Is there a way to re-upload the maps applications?


Appreciate help

From the Philippines, location indications is also a blue dot and not the arrow. No sounds either.


Noticed this in the support site: "If in an area or on a device where turn-by-turn directions are not available, Maps will track your location and provide onscreen directions without announcements or in-route updates"


I believe the Philippines supports turn by turn as indicated in their website

From Chile - 4S - iOS 6

Maps just show a blue dot. No arrow at all


Not sound.


Turn-by-turn worked once when I followed the full suggested path, and it was changing labels while the blue dot moved forward. However, if I do not follow one instruction then turn-by-turn gets as a "vegetable".


SOUND: Never!


Re-Calculations: Never!


I think we all suppose that a country included in Turn-by-turn will also have Sound + Re-calculations, etc.


I do have turn-by-turn in Chile as stated by Apple. However, without Arrow, Sound, and Re-cal !!!
