Get directions to a location
Navigation and battery life
Navigation is one of the most power-intensive apps, so keep your phone plugged into a high-quality car
charger, especially if you're streaming music and/or using Bluetooth (also power-intensive features).
Use voice commands to get directions
1. If you've set up voice commands, say “OK, Google” or “Hey, Google.”
2. Say “Navigate to [destination].”
Use Directions widget
1. Before you hit the road, add a Maps Directions widget to your home screen, and you'll have directions
to any destination you choose.
2. When you're ready to roll, just touch the widget, and your phone will talk you through the directions.
Tip: Combine your Directions widgets into a folder on your home screen.
Get directions to home or work
Get directions from anywhere to your home or work addresses with one touch by setting up a task shortcut
for the Maps app:
1.
Touch & hold .
2.
Drag to a blank space on your home screen.
3. If you haven't set your home or work address yet in Maps, touch the shortcut and follow the onscreen
instructions to add it.
When you're ready to roll, just touch the shortcut, and your phone will talk you through the directions.
