Hi Kawal, If I remember correctly, don't you have your region set to the United States so you can use the US English voice? That may be your problem.
I really don't think Apple intends for people to set their region to something different from where they are at. Of course it would be nice if they made it possible to simply let Voiceover users choose whichever voice they preferred as their default voice and to allow for downloading let's say at least 2 high quality voices.which would also mean Regards, Sieghard -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kawal Gucukoglu Sent: Thursday, December 13, 2012 1:43 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Maps on iPhone 4 with IOS6 When I open the Maps, although I'm living in the UK, it says that it cannot locate anything as it wants to display the US Maps. Also how can I get turn by turn directions automatically? Kawal.
