Say Distance when on new road with voice guidance
I am currently testing out Scenic and I like it but there is something I would like when voice guidance is activated.
I mostly use voice guidance. With other software, like google maps for example, when you get on a new road, after a turn for example, the voice guidance says the distance before the next instructions. It can be 250 miles or 100 feet. Currently, what I am getting as voice instructions from Scenic is only the instruction before about 1 or 2 miles before the turn. It is very useful to know what to expect when getting on a new road.
Also, I would like to mention that the voice guidance does not appear to work when the Scenic app is not active. I have seen the recommendation to use "Always ON" for location but even with that setting, voice guidance does not work when another app is active or when the screen is locked. I do hear some sounds that I think correspond to new instructions but no voice. Any way to fix this?
Good suggestion on the voice when changing roads. I will add that to the list for Scenic 3.
regarding the voice disappearing.. I’m currently looking into this. Noticed it myself during a trip recently. I suspect it’s iOS14 related but not sure yet. Will release an update ASAP to resolve this.
For me it wasn't a Scenic bug, but it was actually the last point (point nr 9) mentioned here. Could that be the case for you too perhaps?
