Siri does not speak directions in the maps app. Hardware: iPhone 5s OS: 7.1.1

Siri has stopped speaking directions in the maps application and does not speak when depressing the large circular button at the bottom of the screen although will display directions and will answer if a question is asked verbally. The volume is up. This problem began suddenly while using Siri to speak GPS mapping directions while traveling in Italy. Prior to this there was no problem. Resetting the phone by holding the power and start buttons simultaneously did not fix the issue.

iPhone 5s, iOS 7.1.1, Volume is up.

I just solved my own problem.

Solution:

While using the Maps application for directions, tap the bottom of the page and look for the speaker icon on the lower left before it disappears.

Tap that speaker icon and select the desired volume. Deselect "no voice". The speaker icon is only only present when Maps is being used for directions rather than simply as a map. Problem solved.
