Use Voice to Navigate Roads on Android
When you're driving, you want to keep your eyes on the road instead of a phone. Android allows you to get spoken directions by asking for them aloud, so you can keep your focus where it should be- on your driving.
Steps
- Click on the speaker icon next to the Google search bar on your Android.
- Say out loud: "Navigate to ______," where the blank part is your destination. For example, you might say "Navigate to Boston" to get directions to Boston.
- Click "Go" to begin the navigation instructions. If the destination is unclear, you may have to choose your destination from a list.
- Click on the blue triangle-like icon to show exactly where you are currently on the map. The navigation app will now begin speaking out loud on to get to your destination.
Tips
- You can also access the navigate screen by simply opening Google Maps if you aren't currently driving.
Warnings
- If you need to adjust your navigation directions, stop first before fiddling with your phone otherwise you'll risk getting into an accident.
