I'm not sure what exactly you have done so far. Do you mean you are writing an app for iOS, in which you have embedded a Google maps interface, and you want to let the user use voice navigation? I have 0 experience with iOS, so with that in mind, i think this is something you should try and interface with the official Google maps app through an api (if available). – instantepiphany Jul 31 '17 at 13:21

Do you try to implement a real-time navigation? If so, I'm afraid this is prohibited in Google Maps APIs Terms of Service. Have a look at section 10.4 c (iii) of ToS:
No navigation. You will not use the Service or Content for or in connection with (a) real-time navigation or route guidance; or (b) automatic or autonomous vehicle control.
https://developers.google.com/maps/terms?#section_10_4
The only option here is to open a native Google Maps app in navigation mode. You can achieve this using the Google Maps URLs:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/urls/guide
There is a directions mode with navigation option in this API.
