It’s relatively well-known that Apple Maps leaves quite a bit to be desired. And when you’re getting Siri to assist with directions, unfortunately, it’s her go-to app. Few people know, though, that it doesn’t have to be your only option – in fact, there’s an easy way to get Siri to use the far superior Google Maps to direct you.<\/p>\n
When you’re asking for directions do it like you usually would but tack on “via transit”<\/strong>. So, if you’re looking for a McDonald’s you’d say, “Take me to the closest McDonald’s via transit.”<\/p>\n This will make Siri pull up a list of all the “routing apps” on your phone, which includes Google Maps. From there, just tap on “Route” and as if magic, you’re ready to go.<\/p>\n It may not be a perfect solution but it’s a lot more efficient than using Apple Maps. It’s not a fully voice-powered means of access, because there’s still the intermediate step of selecting from the Routing Apps list and having to tap Route – but it’s a good alternative.<\/p>\n Another positive is that there’s no jailbreak required, plus you get the satisfaction of knowing you’ve improved the limitations of what Siri can typically provide.<\/p>\n For more helpful technology tips and tricks like this one, contact {company} at {email} or by phone at {phone}. <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Stuck Using Apple Maps For Directions On Your iPhone?
