GOOGLE MAPS...I need to get sound on, any ideas?

[Yankydoodledandy]

Im delivery driving later...never use Google maps.

Ive got the app on my phone, I can put in a destination and gives me directiins but I need to hear it whilst driving. Any ideas how I get sound on??

Make sure your phone isn't connected to the cars Bluetooth

Click on the speaker icon, it's on the right on my screen...

You need to go into settings and turn up the volume on media. It operates separately from calls and notifications.

When you type the address in and press START doesn’t a little mute sign show up on the right? You just click on that.

If the blue tooth is turned on on your phone, it is going to try and send the sound to the closest blue tooth speaker (ie your car). If you turn the blue toothoff thenit will just use the phone speaker

for simplicity sake I would

turn off bluetooth
turn up sound on phone (if you have several sound options turn up the media one)
launch the maps and add you destination
find the speaker icon on the map and toggle it until you get the level of instructions you want. Some options just give you warnings and other options give the the blow by blow directions
