Google Maps talks over phone calls on Bluetooth

I have a Nexus 6P with which I use Google Maps for navigation when driving. My Nexus is connected to a Jabra hands free device and I have unchecked the box 'play voice over Bluetooth'. This means that my phone calls come through my Jabra and the navigation is spoken through the phones speakers. Mostly.
The problem is that when I have a phone call, Google Maps will start talking through the Jabra, over my phone call. It is loud enough to drown out the person I'm talking to, so I have to turn of the navigation. Is this a problem with Maps or my Jabra? Or have I missed a setting somewhere? This also used to happen with my Nexus 6 so I'm assuming its not the phone?

It's probably a side-effect of an "improvement" to Maps. They keep "improving" it - to the point that a paper map is going to be easier to use soon. Try Mapquest. (If that doesn't fix it, it's Phone that's messing up [and you can't easily change the incoming phone app]. One of them is sending all audio to the headset, even if an app [like Maps] is set to send it to the speaker.)

You can try turning off media audio in the bluetooth settings menu for the BT device. Just untick the box. This will also disable the ability to play music off your phone to your BT device though.

Yeah, I have tried turning off Media in the BT settings - no luck. I have just turned the media volume off instead.
