hey all, I am coming to you today, to warn all iOS users, if you have updated to the latest version of google maps, be advised, that it breaks accessibility with voiceover, as in when you go to start voice guided turn by turn. You can get your routes loaded, but there is not a button that you can double tap to start voice guidance. feel free to reply to this if you have any work arounds for this issue. We might need to contact google about this and have this as a campaign of the month.

Interesting. At first I thought I had done something wrong but currently on my iPhone 5 with the new Google 1.1. I do not have this problem. Will need to do more researching in to this to see if there is indeed a problem. Once I have plotted my Current Location and my Desination. I am still able to see the different Route follow by the Start button at the Top Right hand corner. It appears to be working but I will need to adventure out to ensure it does work. Remember once you are in the Start mode that that first direction you can double tap on this to get you back to the main navigation screen to End it if you need to Stop the navigations. Are others experiencing problems?
