have a T-Mobile Comet phone which has an Android application, Maps, anltisled on it.Unfortunately, I am unable to hear verbally spoken turn-by-turn instructions after I have inputted both the origin and destination addresses.After having input these two addresses I then push the blue-colored arrow entitled  Navigate'  but I only obtain a map with a  blue line shown between the two addresses.If I go down to the lower boxes below the map, however, to something called route information, I am able to tap on the far right box and view turn-by-turn  written' instructions guiding me between the origin and destination addresses.This is fine when I'm am in a house, for example, but when I am driving my car I require  VERBAL' turn-by-turn instructions guiding me.How can I activate these  verbal' instructions which currently appear to be non-existent on my T-Mobile Comet phone?Thanks in advance.PS: I am always able to successfully access both the Internet and GPS signals when using this Map application on my Comet phone.

This refers to the temporary storage of web pages and other content on the internet in locations other than where they originate.

Sometimes a proxy server through which users access web pages also cache information, so successive calls to a given web page will load it from this server rather than the originating server that might be much further away.
