The driving directions element of the Google Maps app on your iPhone is one of the better features about the service. Simply enter your desired location and Google Maps will provide navigation to that location. You can even select your current method of transportation in order to receive the most relevant directions.
But you may find that the volume level of those navigation directions is not optimal for your needs. Whether that means the voice is too soft or too loud, it can make the app difficult to use if the volume isn’t right. Our tutorial below will show you where to find a setting that lets you set the guidance volume for the directions coming from the iPhone’s Google Maps app.
