If you get a call you can answer it as usual. If Google Maps needs to
tell
you of the next maneuver you will hear it in your ear. The person you are
talking to will have no clue that this happened as they will not hear it.

The screen does not lock by it's self. If you want to lock it and
walk or ride for a while, you will still hear the turn by turn
directions. You can always unlock the phone to check the screen.

I don't think the screen locks when you're using google Maps. I touch
the screen when using it to get more information on where I am, the
next direction and how close I am to my destination. When my wife uses
it, who's sighted, she just leaves it on her lap while she's driving
so she can refer to the route on the screen.
Yes there is a walking or pedestrian mode. Early in the process, when
you're selecting your route, there should be some tabs at the top, and
you can choose between driving, walking and public transit.
I'm glad I could help.

It is pretty impressive to say the least!
Do you know if the screen locks when you are on a route?
The phone is in my pocket but if I turn it up, I can hear it easily.
Caused some confusion on the bus I think :-) Is there a walking mode
as
well?

Yes, it's accessible. I haven't used the Maps app from Apple in quite
a
while, so I'm not sure what advantages you have in Google Maps over
the Maps app from Apple.
When I originally looked at the Maps app from Apple, I couldn't enter
a
destination except by address. With Google Maps, I can just type the
name of a location and then select the one I want from a list. I also
save popular destinations to my profile and then I can just select
them from there. I assume Apple Maps has these features, and it was
just user ignorance on my part.
Google Maps will also store your route locally on your phone. You'll
need
an internet connection to download it originally, but if you end up
driving through an area with no coverage, as I did last weekend, you
still get turn by turn directions. I'm not sure if Apple Maps has this
feature or not.
Finally, I just find Google Maps to have a simpler more intuitive
interface. Again, that could just be what I'm used to though, and it's
definitely subjective.
Both apps are free, so there's no issue with having both on your
phone and
giving each a try.

Hi friends,
A friend told me about Google MAPS which is a free application for
the IPhone.
Is it accessible and does it have any advantages over the Apple MAPS
application please?
