If you’ve ever experienced the jarring sensation of Google Maps’ navigation voice suddenly blaring out at you while you’re listening to music, you’re not alone. The volume discrepancy can be downright startling. But fear not!
There’s a simple solution to ensure a more harmonious auditory experience.
- Open the Google Maps app on your Android device.
- Tap the three horizontal lines (hamburger menu) in the upper-left corner to reveal the side menu. Scroll down and select “Settings.”
- In the “Navigation settings” section, you’ll find an option labeled “Guidance volume.” This is where the magic happens. Adjust it to your preference:
- Softer: If you prefer a gentler voice, choose this option. It’ll keep the navigation prompts at a more subdued level.
- Louder: Feeling bold? Crank it up! Opt for this setting if you want the voice to assert itself more prominently.
- Now, the next time you’re navigating with Google Maps, pay attention to the voice prompts. You should notice a more balanced volume level that won’t startle you out of your seat.
Remember, finding the right volume setting is a personal choice. Experiment with both options to see which one suits your ears best. Whether you prefer a soothing whisper or an assertive nudge, Google Maps has you covered. Happy navigating!
