For me it's Google maps and audiobooks/podcasts.

It speaks over what I'm listening to, so I skip back 30 seconds, then it speaks again. I had it happen like 6 times in a row the other day where I was listening to the same 25 sex nds repeatedly because Google wouldn't shut the fuck up.

Exit in 1 mile then turn right. Got it. Now stfu.

I like having audible directions so I don't need to look at a screen. I just want fewer of them.

It seriously needs a "less verbose" mode somewhere between the current "won't shut the hell up" and "will only speak after you missed your exit" modes.

If I set a destination while at home, I don't need instructions on how to get out of my damn driveway. Google absolutely knows I know my way to the freeway because they track me doing it every day. Just say "Make your way towards I-10" and shut up for a bit.
