BadRobot Hello BadRobot, Magic Earth support covers audio navigation on their website under How to get Magic Earth to say street names in GrapheneOS.

Also, if you download Magic Earth from the Aurora store, Android Auto will not work. You need to download Magic Earth from Google Play for Android Auto to work. See Magic Earth in Android Auto here.

Direct RHVoice download here.

Hope this helps.

BadRobot Hi, you definitely don't need to install RHVoice, it works flawlessly without it (or I had to do something wrong that I've been using this app couple of years without downloading anything else for the app to function). For instance in Organic maps the voice doesn't work without RHVoice "out of the box" but Magic Earth does. You just need to activate your language in the app settings: it's General - sound - voice languages and there select your preferable language. It will activate your settings; there is also Volume settings for the voice and option for the sound output as a call via bluetooth.

I might be wrong but is it because you don't have a text to speech engine installed? Grapheneos doesn't come with one pre-installed like stock does.

"Speech recognition and synthesis from Google " - search on Aurora store. If you plan to restrict network access, you may need go temporarily allow network access to download content to your phone before restricting it again.

An open source alternative is RHVoice (available on play store/Aurora, F-Droid, and github). Not as pretty as google's but could get the job done.

Aru Moisture Using TTS with Magic Earth provides street names and exit info such as exit number, city for that exit and other signage info such as "95 south". Additionally, distance info for upcoming turn or exit is provided, which provides for enhanced audio turn-by-turn navigation. This info is not provided with the stock app General - sound - voice languages settings.

Thankyou everyone!

Yes, it was lack of TTS engine.

I elected to install Libera Reader fdroid version w/o firebase, via Obtainium.

That's odd. Audio works perfectly in Magic Earth for me after selecting a voice in the settings of the app, without any TTS engine installed.

Okay, didn't know that. For now, using basic audio navigation is enough for me.
