Google Maps has stopped giving street names.

[shed driver]

Not a massive problem, just an annoyance. I've just noticed that Google Maps has stopped saying the street name when giving directions.

Rather than "turn left onto High Street" it now just says "take the next left".

Anyone else experiencing this?

Hadn't noticed, but I did spot a new button which allows you to report accidents, mobile speed cameras and traffic jams (similar to Waze).

These don't show up or allow you to report yet in Android auto so useless for me until it does.

They do show up in Android Auto on my phone.

Tried it today and street names were read out OK.

For me it says.

"Turn left on to 'street name' in X meters.

Then

'Turn left' when I'm nearer it.

what "voice" do you have selected ?

Looking at Settings -> navigation setting -> voice selections ..

Default (English )
Speaks street names


Whereas English (UK) and various others .. don't mention street names …


Might just be a setting

Thanks for that. Seems to have sorted it! Not sure how or why I changed the voice.
