iPhone and Google maps

[Delphinus]

Hi all,

I've tried the search engines and not finding a whole lot of help so I thought I'd ask here.

My husband and I both have iPhones and he likes Google Maps, but does not like the voice - female and quite a fast diction. If he follows the steps we've found, it changes the voice for the entire phone, not just the Google Maps.

Is there a work-around to keep Siri's voice (male, UK) but have Google Maps not be female?

Thanks for your thoughts!

1. Google maps voice does not have a gender option

Sadly there's no way to change the voice i Google Maps. If you try Waze (also owned by Google) you can choose among many different voices and even record your own.

I'll suggest Waze to him - thank you!

2. Per this video, it's possible on a droid phone, not possible on iphone

If we don't try Waze (above), we'll probably just stick with Siri.
