Q: Pausing Navigation for Podcasts in iOS 9.1

While using the third public beta of iOS 9 I noticed that while listening to podcasts the navigation directions from apple maps would pause the audio and resume when complete. This is a feature I have been wanting for years. It is such a frustration while listening to engaging podcasts to have siri bump in and exclaim that I can continue traveling on the same road for an additional 25 miles! Nonetheless now with the 9.1 public beta I have noticed the pause for directions feature has disappeared. Has anybody else noticed this, or know of any settings within iOS that makes this possible?

It looks like this setting has moved. When you are navigating to a location in Apple Maps. Tap on the little speaker button.

In iOS 9.3 this setting is at Settings > Maps > Pause Spoken Audio.
