    When using Google Maps for driving directions, you can swipe left and it will show/speak the next upcoming step. I had no idea about this and I’ve been using Google maps for ages.

      Well, this is news to me. Thanks! I often get worried that I accidentally turned off navigation or something, and hearing it repeat the next step would be great.

      Holy crap, this could be a game changer for me. I live in an area with a ton of highway interchanges, so it not uncommon to get directs that say in 5 mile stay left on road XYZ, then right after that, it like exit right in .0001 miles. So, I’m always scrolling up on the map to see what’s really coming up.

        Exactly! Or when you’re taking a left at a light and there are two turning lanes, I like to know if the next step will be a left or a right so I know what lane to get into, and how far away that next turn is.
