Hi. How is Maps supposed to work with voice turn-by-turn directions, with the phone locked?
On 29 June I used the app to provide me with turn-by-turn driving directions to the next city, and it worked flawlessly. (I'm in the UK.) With Maps open, I locked the phone and the voice directions came through. This was Fast Ring build 15226.
On Sunday, I had mixed results (build 15228). It didn't work on the way to my parents'; after bringing up the route I started the voice navigation, locked the phone but heard no directions. Upon arrival I unlocked the phone and it appeared to have lost its route.
On the way back it was successful. I did exactly the same. Pulled up the directions to my house, pressed Go to start navigation, left the app open but locked the phone and heard voice direction throughout the journey home.
Yesterday I brought up directions back to my work from a visit I went on, pressed Go to start navigation, left the app open but locked the phone and this time got a notification "To resume navigation tap here". No voice directions were given except when the app was open and phone unlocked.
It's a confusing user experience, I'm doing nothing different, have altered no settings, but the app is behaving differently.
