Apple maps tracking with headers feature

By Walei, 21 December, 2012

iOS and iPadOS
I'm not sure if anyone has discussed this yet but I recently discovered that Apple Maps has a tracking feature that's similar to the monitoring in Ariadne GPS. At the bottom left of the maps screen, there is a tracking button. If double tapped once, tracking is turned on. When double tapped a second time, it will say tracking with headers. This feature will give continuous feedback. It will announce the street that you are walking on as well as the streets you are approaching. It will also announce when you are on the streets that you were approaching. One more thing that it does is, it will announce nearby businesses and places to eat. It does tend to talk a bit too much which can be distracting but I find that it's been helpful.

Maps question

Hi, So with tracking on, will VO announce businesses if you're driving? And how about when you have a route in progress, is tracking disabled and the only thing shown is the current route your on? Finally, when you get two or three suggested roots, how do you choose between them? Thanks.
