Fully Agree with Amar, List of steps is the more reliable way to navigate with a screen reader. The top-most step generally keeps on refreshing and you take a turn / slide around 30 meters before. HTH, Ajay On 05/09/2018, Amar Jain wrote: > You can monitor the distance and tell the driver to tak

Thankyou Adhimoolam and Srinivasu for your reverts. Well in Nagpur people do use Google maps to an extent obviously less than metros like Bangalore. Still I believe the maps should be updated. On 9/5/18, Adhimoolam Vetrivel Murugan wrote: > It may also depend up on the area. Say for example, i

It may also depend up on the area. Say for example, in Bangalore, it works well since users regularly update map and even turning is mostly announced correctly.

I have to double check but as far as I remember, on Android, it says aloud for specific turns in addition to 200 meters. I mean speak loud function in-built with maps and not Talk back. I can check this evening (if I take a car) or tomorrow and report back. Regards, Srinivasu Chakravarthula - Twi

as for my observations, when the user reache's the turn, visually the arrow mark will be shown, but, the screen reader may not report the same. if you driving the car on your own, then you have to observe the arrow rather than the screen reader. and, for your information, the voice prompts are desi

Hi there, yes, you are correct!the map does not instruct you with the specific turn.. it all depends upon your traveling speed. and also, depends on the mode which you selected. example, walking, driving, so on. this is an usability issue. On 9/5/18, turab chimthanawala wrote: > Hi all, > Of late
