Hi,

Mostly, flicking to the current location works for me. Sometimes while I'm 
walking, Maps will stop reporting it for a bit, but then it starts up again. Be 
sure either Tracking or Tracking with Headings is on.

I imagine the announcements will only happen if the screen is unlocked, so try 
turning off the automatic screen lock when you are walking while using Maps. I 
think it's turn-by-turn driving directions that are spoken when the screen is 
locked. I could be wrong about that, though.

Best,
Anna
