Maps app on iPhone5 with iOS 7.1 is not announcing directions with sound turned on

My Maps app has stopped announcing directions. iPhone 5, iOS 7.1 with latest updates. Location services is turned on. Sounds are turned on. Volume is set to Loud in the Maps app. Cellular Data is turned on for Maps. I tried resetting my phone per the instructions online and nothing has helped so far. Any ideas?

After much trial and error I finally figured this out. It has to do with the starting location. The starting location must be "Current Location" in order for Maps to announce turn-by-turn directions. In other words you have to start by entering your destination address, and then select "directions to here", which sets the from location to "current location". I had dropped a pin on my home, which is the same starting address as "current location", so should have given me the same result, but for some reason when you type in the actual address of your current location for the starting location, it does not activate the voice control for turn-by-turn navigation. I have tried this two or three times and every time when I enter the starting location, Maps does not announce directions, but when I let it calculate my current location it does. Even when location services are turned on for Maps in both cases. Can't understand the logic here or why Aplle would program it this way, but it is what it is. If anyone else is having this issue, I hope this helps.

How can I clear the history on the maps app on iphone 5 IOS 6.0.2

How can I clear the history in the maps app that came with iphone5 IOS 6.0.2 ?

tap the little bookmark(book symbol) on the top right.

I updated my iPhone to the new IOS6 and my awesome Google map app was replaced with the sucky, horrible, awful Apple map app. I want my Google navigator map app back!!!!!!

I agree. I liked the previous map app. The version 6 app is powered by tomtom, I think. No more street view. I don't care for the new overhead view when dropping a pin. Plus, the current map app doesn't have the local points or data base that the google maps app had. Too bad I can't go back to the old map app.

How do I get routing data from the Map App (powered by TomTom) so I can display the point-to-point annotations (turn-by-turn navigation) without leaving my own application.

I have a tableView displaying a list of contacts from a Cloud Database. After selecting a contact, I push to a programmatically created MKMapView. Then I display the initial region (the view) that includes the users current location (starting point) and their selected destination (end point).
Now I want to display annotations (as described in the Location Awareness Programming Guide) that displays polylines which will represent the turn-by-turn navigation IN MY OWN APPLICATION, and not in the Map App currently used in IOS6.
Due to licensing and its becoming depricated in IOS 6, I do not want to get routing data from the Google Maps API. How do I get routing data from the IOS 6 Map App (powered by TomTom) so I can display the point-to-point annotations (turn-by-turn navigation) without leaving my own application?
I checked out Stack Overflow and other forums which basically left me with the impression that this is not possible. I also checked out the TomTom iPhone Mobile SDK User Guide from the TomTom Developer Portal and am still confused. It must be possible to retrieve routes, since the Map App can display turn-by-turn directions. How can I retrieve turn-by-turn data that I may display as a route within my own application?

Thanks Michael. Apologies for the slow reply I was away for a bit (holiday blitz at work and visiting family madness etc.etc.) back now, I set both options you requested to "never " and retried the CMS software with no change.
I do have progress of a sort though, as a test I took a separate test PC and put a clean install of Win7 on and loaded up the CMS software (it worked perfectly) and then took the version of ole32.dll off that machine and put it onto the computer I had built
for her (using Linux) and...
got a new error code. Darn I was so sure I had found a clever solution this time lol.
Anyway now when the CMS fails it gives me a similar error but the offending module is "ntdll.dll" sooo... I tried taking the "working" version of ntdll.dll from the test box and moving it over (making sure to back up the existing ones
first so I could put them back if needed) to her new PC and the PC would not boot.
It seems to want the original versions of a few Dynamic Link Libraries and if I could somehow give it those while not breaking Win7 it should theoretically work seeing as it no longer errors with ole32.dll.
ntdll.dll however seems necessary for Win7 to boot.
So what I am wondering now is:
Is there some way to have both versions of the DLL file in the system32 folder (bypassing the "cannot have two files with the exact same name in the same folder" thing) or rename the original DLL's something else and somehow make the CMS look for
the new named versions so the system has the updated DLL's it needs to boot/run and the CMS has the old ones it wants to run or is there someway to have a self contained install of the CMS, say on a USB flash drive and give it it's own E:/windows/system32/needed
dll's path to the files it needs?
Willing to try any other options or settings you may have come up with as well.
Thanks again for your reply and my apologies for not answering sooner.

How can I delete places in the map app that came with the iphone5s

I Was in the map app playing around and by mistake entered some places that I do not want. I've tried everything to delete them, but cannot find a way to clear them. I have even dropped a pin on one of the places and now I cannot remove the pin. I tried reporting a problem with the place that I dropped the pin and it reported it to Apple. The more things I try, the worse it gets! Please help me get rid of the places and the pins!!!!!!

There is no X at the top of the box or any where on the page. The places I am talking about are navigational places and when I click on the red pin
A red pin shows up when you have typed something into the search box at top. The red pin identifies the location of what the search results is.
Clear the search box and the red pin will disappear

Maps App. a Disaster of iOS 6.0

Dear,
I'm using Iphone 4S & New Pad. I was really satisfied with Maps App ( Google ). However since iOS6.0 has been updated, Maps App (Apple) has been a disaster. I'm very very disapointed with this own Apple's app. This app is an out-updated and careless one i have ever seen. Do you think this problem should be listened and corrected soon ?

maps google via safari does not work as well and if driving it does not follow you and its so much slower then again.. apple maps is slow but maps are SERIOUSLY FROM 1900 missing so much information!
I'm just curious why is not anyone getting fired for this mistakes?
it's like you had mercedez benz service call asked you to come for upgrade for free of charge..
You got replaced with ship called Santa Maria with you been the captain christopher columbus..
every day is adventure since you are rediscovering the world since apple maps don't know where you are or what is around you?
Rumor goes that there is americas and indians have secret maps called google maps.. goal is to find them and upgrade your apple maps..
Only wish this was a joke...

Google Maps review
The good: Map layers, turn-by-turn navigation, Street View, and offline access make Google Maps almost unbeatable.
The bad: No 3D city view.
The bottom line: With its impressive list of features and syncing of data across other devices, Google Maps is a must-have application for anyone running Android.
As far as mobile mapping goes, the newest version of Google Maps for Android offers one of the most robust experiences you can get. More than a simple piece of mapping software, this feature-fest offers turn-by-turn navigation, voice search, indoor mapping (select locations), public transportation information, Street View, and tons of other conveniences. Further, if you use Google Maps on your other devices while signed in to your Google account, your search history, Places, and custom maps sync seamlessly.

When viewing a location, Google Maps lets you activate a variety of add-on layers offering information like traffic, terrain, transit lines, satellite images, and bicycle routes, among others. There's even a Wikipedia layer that plots out entries related to your location, which is great for curious travelers. If you've made any custom maps on your Google account, you can overlay those as well.
If the add-on layers aren't enough, Google Maps lets you zoom into satellite photos to get a close look at buildings and street details. You can even activate street view to get a ground-level look at areas that have coverage. Unfortunately, though, the Google Maps app does not come with 3D flyover images baked in. To get these highly detailed images, you'll have to download it's sister app Google Earth. Hopefully at some point, these two titles merge to offer a more streamlined user experience.
One of the most important aspects of Google Maps for Android is directions. The app lets you easily conduct a search for a destination with text or voice, so you can get directions for driving, public transit, walking, or even biking. You can read your route in list form or hit the arrow icon to activate voice-guided turn-by-turn navigation. While traveling you can even fire up alternate routes if you happen to run into traffic.

But Google Maps is a lot more than just a database of geographic information. The application offers other baked-in services like Offers for nearby deals, Local search powered by Google Places and Zagat, and Latitude for locating Google contacts on the map (with their permission, of course). These services in aggregate make for a complete mobile experience that is pretty hard to beat.
Google Maps for Android now lets you cache maps for access while offline. This is hugely useful for travelers who frequently find themselves in areas outside of their home mobile networks. The feature lets you pinch and drag to determine the area you want to cache, and it tells you how much memory the saved file will cost you.

Had it happen on my iphone 4 that I use as an ipod now and I did a complete restore and it fixed the problem. I did do the over the air update the first time and this time I did it by connecting to itunes.

Connected Digital AV Adapter to HDMI HD TV. Photo slideshow works fine but cannot play iTunes playlist concurrently (with sound turned off on slideshow)

Connected Digital AV Adapter from my iPad (64 GB 4G) to my HD TV. Tried playing slideshow (with sound off) concurrently with playing iTunes playlist. Video plays fine but no audio. iTunes volume indicator not showing any volume.

Just following-up on this posting from a week or two ago and another a few days later about the problems with catch-up TV. We were disappointed with the lack of service, but as we can get most of the catch-up we want on the Sony Bravia TV, hadn't pursued it with BT perhaps hoping things would improve.
Got a phone call last week from BT asking if we'd been able to set up the YouView Box OK, which we had. Mentioned the unsatisfactory service. She immediately put me through to the BT technical call centre in India where I spoke to guy called Rajiv or something like that. Asked a few questions and then asked me to switch off the YouView Box (back panel switch) and do a hard-reset on the Homehub Router. Once this had been done, and the YouView box switched back on. The service ran fine and has done so since. I don't know if Rajiv did anything in the network or whether this is just some problem (he called it a "glitch") in the router/YouView box. Funny that that the speedtest and streaming to the Sony TV works OK.
He phoned back a couple of days later to see if we'd had any further problems. Overall good service. It would be interesting to know from a technical point of view what the problem was and how it was solved. It shouldn't be necessary to reset boxes in this way.

Why my maps app cannot give my exact location? Why it is directed to sachui china when i am not in china?

Is there anybody who can share the same problem with my maps?

Do you have the wifi-only iPad? If so the location is based on the location of your wifi router in an Apple database. Your router may have been located in China.

Maps App "3D" icon blue even though it is NOT in the 3D view...

So this has probably been going on for a while but i'm just now writing something up about it.
When i'm looking at the Maps - either on an iPhone, or iPad.... the 3D icon is sometimes blue, but NOT showing in 3D view.....if i tap on the 3D icon - the icon remains blue, but also adjusts into the 3D view....
so why is it that it's blue when it is NOT in 3D view?
Other times - it is not blue, and it is not in 3D - so it works as designed....but most of the time not.
Is this a bug and has this happened to anyone else?

Humph... I know I have had these experience myself, but don't remember how I solved it.
What happens if you mark it, and then right-click on the blank gray area (under "places" for example)? Do you then get the "remove from sidebar" option?

I have lost my ipod about a week ago with sound turned off and i did not have an id on icloud and not installed app find my iphone please help me to find my ipod 4g. I shall be really thankful to you if you helped me.

please help me find my ipod i shall be thankful to you

Hey Jatin, Look under the sofa. Any luck? All joking aside, not much to do here, nothing with electronics anyway. You'll have to do the, "Helen Hunt Method!" Go looking for your iPod like it was a lost wallet or set of keys. Good luck, happy hunting! Cheers.

Bug or feature: Audio from videos can still play with sound turned off

I've just noticed that with the sound switch turned off (i.e., red dot showing), if I play a video and slide the volume bar to the right for the video, the audio plays on the iPhone speaker. I thought the hardware sound switch was a "master" switch which would kill all sound on the iPhone, except, of course, for headphones.

That switch is GENERALLY for the phone functions. Other apps may or may not respond to it depending on how they have been written.

What will happen to the maps app of my 1st generation iPad once iOS 6 is released?

My iPad won't be able to upgrade to iOS 6. Will the maps app still get data from Google? Will it be a dead link on my home screen? Or will Apple delete it?

The Google Maps app is baked into iOS 5, therefore it will stay on your iPad. If you were to buy or upgrade a product with iOS 6 you wouldn't see Google Maps.
