I depend on those audio instructions.


I’ve now had two trips where I expect the audio to work on my phone, because DH keeps telling me “it’s working it’s working.” Well that’s when we are in the house. I finally figured out a yesterday that my phone did not work, the audio part of MapQuest, when I’m in the car. It came in a bad time when I’m driving quickly on the highway, I’m holding the phone to try to read the instructions, I had to keep adjusting my glasses to read, and the screen keeps going dark. It was a nightmare.


Later that day I disconnected the phone entirely from my car, and now MapQuest is working normally, as I expect it to, giving audio directions.
IL, first of all, if you’re using Apple Car Play, the map will be on the big display on your dash,. Why were you trying to see the directions on your phone instead of on the screen? Makes no sense. I DESPISE audio directions. I never use them. If I’m in someone else’s car, I always talk back some to the voice! LOL
