Google Maps for IPhone

This might belong in leisure but is Telenav ( paid $6.95 for a year to get voice directions) or google maps the best choice for GPS?

I put google maps on my IPhone (like millions of other people) and I don't know how to get the voice working?
Any help would be appreciated.

Joan, you might be able to find a users manual online and find your answer there. I had an opposite problem. All of a sudden one day, my Galaxy SIII started announcing out loud my appointment reminders, the name of callers and incoming messages, etc. and I didn't know how to turn it off, let alone how I turned it on to begin with. (It was especially a problem with those emails in the wee hours!) I found a user manual online (all 180 pages), and got my answer there. (I hope I can find the time to do more exploring of all that this phone can do before it becomes obsolete... )

The new google maps it's fine Joan, but the old Waze from the apple store is even better. Try it.

With Waze it tells you if there is a cop hiding somewhere in your route, it shows your speed and if there is any debri in the road. And of course voice turn by turn directions.
