[NABS-L] Enhanced Google Maps Navigation

It lacks the feature such as announcing 'nearby points of interests, but am very impressed by its accuracy and Google's ability to pull this off. Also disappointed to let you know that the paid version of Nearby Explore is pulled from the App Store and APH has decided to discontinue in favor of free Nearby Explore online... If you're disappointed, I understand. Many of us spent $79 for this app, myself included and seeing it gone without much notice is rather frustrating.

This will be good, until IOS 13.2 comes out when Nearby Explorer works again. Does the google maps guidance also announce points of interest? Can the app run in the background, or does google maps have to be in focus?
