Hello Alex, While using the Tracking Plus Heading feature, in the native iOS Maps app, will cause some intersections to be announced, along with directional heading, if/when the screen turns off, announcements will cease.
Also, the details of the intersection are not described as they would be, in the Seeing Eye GPS app or on the new Humanware Trekker Breeze. While I am not suggesting that one should not use the iOS native Maps app in order to hear intersection announcements, I would argue that there are more comprehensive GPS navigation solutions available for one to consider.

In Maps, find the "tracking" button, and double tap it until it is set to "on with headings". Now, so long as Maps is open and the phone is unlocked, you'll hear streets and some POIs as you move. > On Oct 20, 2015, at 02:39, M.
