Wondering how to turn off the voice in Apple Maps? We don't blame you. While many people may need the vocal instructions, for those who don't they can be a pain, interrupting your favorite song, podcast or contemplative silence. If you have visual directions in front of you — when using CarPlay, for instance — spoken directions are a little redundant anyway.
