Create Google Maps Siri Shortcuts: A Step-by-Step Guide

Are you tired of using Apple Maps on your iPhone? Do you prefer the navigation capabilities of Google Maps? If so, creating Google Maps Siri shortcuts is a great way to make using Google Maps more easily accessible. In this article, we will guide you through the process of creating shortcuts on Siri to use Google Maps.

To get started, you need to have iOS 12 or later installed on your iPhone and the Shortcuts app downloaded from the App Store. If you haven't already done so, install the app now.

Once you have the Shortcuts app installed, open it and select the '+' icon at the top right corner of the screen to create a new shortcut. In the search bar, type 'Google Maps' and select the Google Maps icon that appears. This will allow you to set up a custom command for Google Maps.

Next, you need to select the item 'Show in Maps' from the left sidebar and then choose the map type you want to use, such as Address or Street View. Scroll down and select the item you are interested in, such as setting an address to reach.

Once you have selected the desired map type, tap the '+' icon at the top right corner of the screen to add a new command. In the search bar, type 'Google Maps' again and select the Google Maps icon that appears. This will allow you to set up another custom command for Google Maps.

You can then repeat this process as many times as needed to create multiple shortcuts for different map types or locations. To register your custom phrase and be able to execute the newly created command via Siri, tap the 'Register' button at the top right corner of the screen.

That's it! You have now successfully created Google Maps Siri shortcuts using the Shortcuts app. Every time you execute one of these commands with Siri, Google Maps will open instead of Apple's Maps app.

Tips and Tricks

* To change the settings of a command whenever you want, simply select the desired shortcut in the Shortcuts app and adjust the settings accordingly.

* You can also use Siri to create shortcuts for other apps, not just Google Maps. Simply select the app icon from the list and follow the same steps as above.

Creating Google Maps Siri shortcuts is a great way to make using Google Maps more easily accessible on your iPhone. With these simple steps, you can set up custom commands for different map types or locations and use Siri to execute them quickly and easily. Whether you're commuting to work or planning a road trip, having Google Maps as an option will make navigating much easier.
