iOS6 Maps / calls / music.

It turns the music down during instructions. Calls come through too

 

Is there anyway to stop calls coming through whilst using Maps, so as they do not stop the spoken turn by turn instructions coming through and the onscreen instructions been seen?

I asked this question on another post and someone mentioned about the do not disturb feature of iOS 6, but nobody had, had a chance to try it whilst driving and while receiving a call.

 

Maybe you shouldn't drop ypur Tomtom after all?

 

I haven't got a Tom tom to drop , reason been I don't need the use of a satnav all the time, but I do need the use of one some time, and the Maps app on my iPhone would mean that I would have the use of one when I needed it has I always have my iPhone with me

 

The on screen instructions still appear at the top of the screen during a phone call, and the voice instructions come thorough over the incoming voice call. Really very usable.

 

Do not disturb would....... stop you being disturbed

 

Turn on the new Do Not Disturb feature. It sends all incoming calls straight to voicemail.

 

On iOS 6 beta 4 on a 4S, during calls my navigation stops talking to me and instead dings a bell alerting me to a new instruction. Am I the only one?

 

This is how Google Navigation (on Android) does it, and it's the same with MapQuest on iOS. It works quite well, actually. I love it. And btw, the person you're talking to doesn't hear the instructions - only you do.

If you're that worried about it, just decline the call...?

 

Does this for me as well.

 

That sucks... I hope it actually speaks during a call like the others I mentioned above. Otherwise I'll just stick to MapQuest since it's free and I already have it...

 

Thanks for the help, it's much appreciated. From the sounds of it, the Maps app seems well thought out if that's how it handles phone calls.

 

What happens if you double press the home button while on a call and go back to the maps app?
