Google Maps

[asusmemo333]

I have a Coolpad Flo, android version 4.1.2, google maps 7.0.2. Navigation voice sometimes comes on and sometimes doesn't. The old blue navigation symbol is not showing up on the maps. There are no controls I have found where the voice can be activated. I see people mentioning the 3 dots that can be clicked on; not on my maps. Any ideas? I am thinking about disabling Google and download the Mapquest app. I don't think it could be a whole lot worse!
