Does Google Maps offer voice navigation?

The Google Maps voice guidance feature is intended to help pedestrians with visual impairments navigate on foot. Similar to voice directions, it provides more verbal clues for the user such as "go straight 25 feet" instead of "go forward." Information in this article applies to the Google Maps app for Android and iOS.

Can you add voices to Google Maps?

This will open a popout menu. Select Settings. In Settings, scroll down and select Navigation settings. Under the Sound & voice section, select Voice selection.

If you're using Google Directions API for receiving directions, you receive them in JSON format which includes the route points, the route length, the expected duration of the trip and the instructions. You can get them and then use text-to-speech to make sound out of the particular instruction when it's time for it.
