Q: Maps' voice not working

I had an Iphone 5 and loved the turn by turn voice directions. I bought an Iphone 6 in April. I have not been able to set the turn by turn voice of maps. Does anyone know how to fix it?

iPhone 6, iOS 8.4

    Hi Bubblegum 63,

     

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!

     

    I understand that turn-by-turn spoken directions are not working as you would expect on your iPhone. For information on how turn-by-turn navigation works as well as information on why this may not be working as expected, please read over the attached article below. 

     

    How to use Maps on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

     

    Use turn-by-turn navigation

    To use turn-by-turn navigation, the start location must be your current location. Tap the car icon above the pin, select your preferred route, and tap start. While you're traveling to your destination, Maps will provide spoken directions and updates and estimate your time to arrival. If spoken directions aren't available, Maps will track your location and provide onscreen directions without announcements or updates. You can tap Overview in the top-right corner anytime to see your entire route.

    Spoken directions are available in certain countries on iPhone 4s or later and iPad 2 or later with cellular data capability.

     

    Best regards
