Speaking of spoken turn by turn directions, I loaded a route into my phone
the other day using Google Maps.  I was at home and on Wi-Fi when I did it.
I forgot that cellular data was turned off and began my 30 minute trip.  I
had spoken turn by turn directions for the entire trip.  I discovered that
data was off when I went to create a new route to another destination and
was told to turn data on.

 

I already knew that Google loaded a map of the requested route into the
device but didn't think that the audio for that trip would be loaded.  It
was a very pleasant surprise indeed.  I'm also guessing that this would work
as long as you don't go too far off of the planned route.

 

Now, this has me curious.  If I had an iPod touch with an external gps
receiver, would I have the same result?  Someone might try it some time to
find out.

I have used maps in voice guidance turn by turn directions mode. In iOS 7,
maps switches between walking and driving mode on anything higher than a for
S. It works for me on an iPhone five.

Hi Folks:

 

Has anyone had any luck with voice guidance using Apple maps in walking
mode?  If so, are there specific settings that I need to attend too?  Also,
is it true that the 5S  will automatically choose the correct mode whether
driving or walking?

 

Thanks all over the place gang.
