The present disclosure generally relates to exploring a geographic region that is displayed in computer user interfaces. In some embodiments, a method includes at an electronic device with a display and one or more input devices, displaying a map of a geographic region on the display and detecting a first user input to select a starting location on the map. After detecting the first user input, the method includes detecting a second user input to select a first direction of navigation from the starting location. In response to detecting the second user input, the method includes determining a path on the map that traverses in the first direction of navigation and connects the starting location to an ending location, and providing audio that includes traversal information about traversing along the path in the geographic region in the first direction of navigation and from the starting location to the ending location.

Systems and methods for exploring a geographic region

An electronic device displays a user interface that includes a plurality of affordances including a first affordance. The first affordance is selectable to perform a respective operation. The first affordance is displayed at a first size. The device receives a user input at a location corresponding to the first affordance. In response to receiving the user input and in accordance with a determination that a text display setting has a first value, the device displays an overlay that includes an enlarged representation of the first affordance. The enlarged representation of the first affordance has a second size that is bigger than the first size. In response to receiving the user input and in accordance with a determination that the text display setting has a second value that is different from the first value, the device forgoes display of the enlarged representation of the first affordance.
