Why did Google Maps stop saying street names?
First off, ensure that you have zoomed in enough. Some street names will not show on the map unless you zoom in enough. This is because Google maps do not allow the street labels to overlap so the space for the street name can only be enough if you zoom right in.
Is sense of direction hereditary?
Our sense of direction is derived from a complex network of interactions between our genes, senses, brain and environment. In fact, our sense of direction isn’t really a sense at all because it involves multiple senses!

Is there a way to turn off street name speaking on/off?
The best answer would be for GOOGLE TO PLEASE FIX IT so we can have an option to turn street name speaking on or off regardless of the chosen system language and the chosen Google Maps spoken language (they should be functionally separate).
How do you use Google Maps for navigation?
Use navigation in the Google Maps app To get easy, turn-by-turn navigation to places, use the Google Maps app. Maps will show you directions and use real-time traffic information to find the best route to your destination. With voice navigation, you’ll hear traffic alerts, where to turn, which lane to use, and if there’s a better route.
How do I use voice directions on Google Maps?
Use the Google Maps app as you normally would. Voice directions will be downloaded while you have the Maps app open. When the voice directions are done downloading, you’ll hear directions instead of chimes when navigating to a place. You can play, pause, skip, and change music without minimizing Google Maps navigation.
Why do street labels sometimes appear at different zoom levels?
Street labels sometimes appear at different zoom levels, but not always. Judging by the screenshot (the zoom slider), you have WebGL enabled. It renders the visuals slightly differently and might bring some artifacts. (On my computer, the loading/rendering process looks strange but the end result is always working fine.)
