Normally using the ‘Voice’ button will default to Siri using Apple Maps, however it is actually possible to use Siri to initiate navigation using Google Maps with the ’Voice’ button, but does involve using a ‘Shortcut’ on your iPhone called Get Directions.
Once installed it works by invoking Siri by pressing the voice button and saying ‘Get Directions’, and Siri will respond with ‘What’s the Text’. You just speak the address as you would normally with Apple Maps and the route will load and run using Google Maps.
If I’ve done this correctly 🤞, then this should be a link to the ‘Get Directions’ shortcut…..
Get Directions shortcut
(When prompted, open this in ‘Shortcuts’ in your iPhone)
Let me know how it goes, and more importantly if it works for you (it does for me!)
