One thing I noticed about it yesterday was that it didn't always give me the next turn information. For a time I had my phone muted and I wonder if because of this the app is not playing the audio messages. I thought that gps apps would overwrite this feature though. I'll play with Mapquest, Waze, and Navigon to see what they do when the phone is muted. If they still play the audio messages, but Google Maps doesn't, then this is a problem I fear. -- Raul A.
