In CarPlay, the voice for Direction Guidance is always set on the head unit of your car. I have never seen (and still do not) a volume setting in the screen shot page that you have posted.

Try the following: When the CarPlay voice is in process of providing guidance, then turn up the volume on your car’s head unit at that time. This volume settings is different and separate from overall sound volume.

I checked on my iPhone as well according to your post. I couldn’t find anything related to “Navigation Voice Volume” where I could choose volume settings. You are right about one thing, that setting title does not match the results provided.

I have the same issue. I have googled it and it says there’s a button to click on for volume, but I simply don’t have it. The volume on the head of the unit as others are suggesting only makes the music louder or softer, I still can’t hear the navigation. It’s incredibly frustrating.

Try the following:

Activate Car Play in your car and input a destination in Apple Maps. Siri will begin to give voice directions. Increase the volume on your car's head unit WHILE Siri is talking. This increase should only apply to Siri's voice for directions. Once Siri stops talking then any volume adjustments you make will only apply to your radio/music etc.

I found when you have Navigation speaking a direction, tap the volume up button on the side of your iPhone and that will increase the volume. I don't know why they changed the settings in Maps, but there are others complaining about being able to get the directions to come out of the iPhone while the phone is connected to Bluetooth and do not have that option any longer either.
