While often overlooked, Detailed Voice Guidance in Google Maps offers invaluable support, particularly for vision-impaired or blind users. Nestled within the depths of the app's settings, this feature enhances walking directions with proactive cues. If a wrong turn is taken, the vocal guide swiftly recalculates the optimal route from your current location. Moreover, it provides precise turn instructions, distance estimations, directional guidance, and advance alerts for busy intersections. Enabling Detailed Voice Guidance can significantly enhance the journey's ease and safety.
Here are the steps to turn on the detailed navigation feature in Google Maps: 1. Open Google Maps. 2. Navigate to Account and Settings. If you're a VoiceOver user, find it by flicking left, and it's the first option you'll hear. 3. While in the settings, go to "Navigation." 4. Flick to the right all the way down until you reach "Detailed Voice Guidance," and turn it on. 5. Please note that you'll only notice this feature when you're using Google Maps for navigation to a specific destination. 6. To search for a destination, open Google Maps and type the address in the query field. 7. Your search results will appear below; tap on the one you prefer. 8. Look for a button that says "Start" and tap on it. 9. Google Maps will start to speak and give you your first voice direction. With detailed Voice Guidance turned on, you'll hear extra voice cues during your journey. -- With regards, [image: NAB Delhi logo with the words "serve the blind" and "Tamso Ma Jyotirgamaya"] <http://www.nabdelhi.in/> [image: Donate] <http://www.nabdelhi.in/donate> *Helpline for the Blind* *National Association for the Blind* Sector 5, R.K.
