Why Do You Need Voice Assistant on Apple Maps
The major advantage of using the voice assistant on Apple Maps is that it helps you to focus on driving instead of focusing on the smartphone screen. The voice feature will speak out all the routes, including sharp turns, distance to travel, and more. If you have connected AirPods to your iPhone or the device you’re using for Navigation, it will be much easier to travel to all the places with the help of Apple Maps.
