A few months ago voice guidance stopped. It's enabled, a language selected, volume up, but no sound. What could this be? (Sound from radio etc. functions fine)

Suggestions are appreciated

Uninstall the selected voice file and reinstall it.

Go the development menu, there is an item to test voices.

This helped me some time ago.

Sorry, I can't help with an IPhone.

But there must be something similar to what there is on my Android phone

Under settings

Download maps

and near the end an entry called

Voice prompts (TTS, preferred)

If you tap on this you see a (long) list of possible languages.

On the right of an installed language there are three vertical dots.

If you tap on these there is an option to remove this language package.

After that you can (re-) install it.

I don't know if there is a development plugin on an IPhone to test voices.

Hopefully someone reading mailing list owns an IPhone and can help with this
