您是否(Are)厌倦了在需要路线时必须手动打开Google 地图?(Google Maps)您是否发现自己一遍又一遍地使用同一个目的地(using the same destination),导致跳过这些步骤浪费了大量时间?如果是这样,也许是时候将Google 地图(Google Maps)设为iPhone 上的
默认导航应用程序了。(navigation app)
谷歌地图比(Google Maps)苹果地图(Apple Maps)添加了更多数据。其结果是准确的交通信息和更快的路线,这将为您节省一些汽油费。Google 地图(Google Maps)还允许您计划行程,即使其中包含多个站点。苹果地图(Apple Maps)最近才在 iOS 16 中实现了
多站路线(Multi-stop routing)选择。

如果您更喜欢Google 地图(Google Maps),并且想在 iPhone 上使用它,有一些解决方法可以帮助您将其设为默认导航应用程序。本文将解释您需要做什么。
为什么不能更改iPhone 上的
默认地图应用程序(Default Map App)
在 iOS 6 中, Apple用(Apple)Apple 地图(Apple Maps)取代了iPhone 上的Google 地图(Google Maps)。从那时起,苹果地图(Apple Maps)就成为其默认的导航应用程序。该公司这样做是因为谷歌(Google)还没有准备好向苹果(Apple)授予语音引导路线导航功能的权利。如果您今天尝试在 iPhone 上安装Google 地图(Google Maps),您会发现它无法工作。那是因为苹果(Apple)的软件系统是封闭的,苹果(Apple)严格控制你可以在其设备上安装哪些应用程序。

谷歌的Android操作系统(Android OS)是开源的,任何人都可以对其进行修改。因此,为Android设计的应用程序大多与 iOS 不兼容。不过,苹果(Apple)已经采取了一些小措施,现在允许您将Gmail和Google Chrome设置为 iPhone 和 iPad 上的默认应用程序。但如果你想要其他第三方应用程序,你就必须越狱你的 iPhone(jailbreak your iPhone)。请记住,越狱违反 Apple 的政策,如果您这样做,您将失去保修。
如何使Google 地图(Google Maps)成为iPhone 和 iPad 上的
默认地图应用(Default Map App)程序
将Google 地图(Google Maps)设置为 iPhone 或 iPad 上的默认导航应用程序的唯一方法是安装Gmail或Google Chrome应用程序。将这些应用程序之一设为(Make one)您手机的默认应用程序,并使用它们打开Google 地图(Google Maps)。这会很好地工作,因为所有谷歌(Google)应用程序都集成并共享数据。
请注意,您必须创建一个Google帐户才能使用其任何应用程序。该帐户还将确保您可以完全访问这些应用程序的所有功能。
切换到使用Gmail的(Gmail)Google 地图(Google Maps)
如果您想将 iPhone 的默认电子邮件服务更改为Gmail并使用Google 地图(Google Maps),请按照以下步骤操作:
- 如果您没有,请从App Store下载并安装(App Store)Gmail应用程序。
- 转到“设置”应用程序。
- 滚动(Scroll)直至找到Gmail,然后点击它。

- 选择默认邮件应用程序。

- 选择 Gmail。

- 打开Gmail并使用您的(Gmail)Google帐户登录。如果您是第一次使用该应用程序,这一点尤其重要。
- 选择屏幕左上角的菜单图标。
- 点击设置。

- 选择默认应用程序。

- (Select Google Maps)在从您的位置导航(Navigate)和在位置之间导航(Navigate)部分中选择 Google 地图。

如果您想在每次打开导航链接时在Apple 地图(Apple Maps)和Google 地图之间进行选择,您还可以点击“每次都(Google Maps)询问(Ask)我使用哪个应用程序”旁边的复选框。对于那些希望能够针对不同情况选择自己喜欢的应用程序的人来说,这是一个不错的选择。
通过Google Chrome切换到Google 地图(Google Maps)
- 如果您的 iPhone 上没有 Chrome,请前往App Store下载并安装。
- 转到“设置”应用程序。
- 找到 Chrome 并点击它。

- 点击默认浏览器应用程序。

- 选择 Chrome 而不是 Safari。

从现在开始,您在手机上点击的每个链接都会在Google Chrome浏览器中自动打开。其中包括地图链接。由于集成了谷歌的应用程序,Chrome将自动打开谷歌地图(Google Maps)而不是苹果地图(Apple Maps)。
通过 CarPlay 使用 Google 地图
Apple 的集成系统称为CarPlay(CarPlay),允许您通过汽车的内置显示屏控制 iPhone 。用它来启动汽车、使用导航、拨打电话或听写短信。与 iPhone 和 iPad 不同,CarPlay支持Google 地图(Google Maps)应用程序。但是,它不是默认的导航系统。如果您选择向Siri询问方向,该语音助手将始终打开Apple 地图(Apple Maps)。

如果您想通过CarPlay使用(CarPlay)Google 地图(Google Maps)进行导航,则每次都必须启动该应用程序。以下是通过CarPlay使用(CarPlay)Google 地图(Google Maps)所需执行的步骤:
- (Install Google Maps)如果您的手机上尚未
安装 Google 地图,请安装它。
- 启动您的汽车并使用USB数据线或无线连接将您的 iPhone连接(Connect)到 CarPlay 。
- 在汽车显示屏上,您会注意到包含三个选项的提示:当您的手机通过USB(USB)连接到汽车时,启用、禁用或始终(Always)启用CarPlay。选择启用(Select Enable)。
- 汽车显示屏将显示您iPhone(Phone)上所有支持的CarPlay应用程序。这意味着您将能够使用电话(Phone)、消息(Messages)和音乐(Music),以及一些第三方应用程序,例如Spotify和Google 地图(Google Maps)。
- 点击 Google 地图将其打开。
- 使用它来导航您的行程,就像在手机上一样。
控制手机的导航和应用程序是最大限度地发挥设备功能并从中获得最大价值的重要组成部分。这可能需要一些练习,但了解如何更改设置将为您提供更多快速、方便的选择。现在,您已准备好放弃 Apple 预装的导航应用程序,并开始使用Google 地图(Google Maps)(有时)更可靠、更高效的导航服务。

How to Make Google Maps the Default Navigation App on Your iPhone
Are you tired of having to manually open Google Mapѕ whenever уou need directions? Do you find yourself using the same destination over and over again, leading to a lot of time wasted in skipping the steps? If so, it may be time to make Google Maps your default navigation app on your iPhone.
Google Maps adds more data than Apple Maps. The result is accurate traffic information and faster routes that’ll save you some gas money. Google Maps also allows you to plan your trip, even if it includes multiple stops. Multi-stop routing is something Apple Maps implemented only recently with iOS 16.

If you prefer Google Maps, and you want to use it on your iPhone, there are some workarounds that’ll help you make it your default navigation app. This article will explain what you’ll need to do.
Why Can’t You Change the Default Map App on iPhone
With iOS 6, Apple replaced Google Maps on iPhones with Apple Maps. Since then, Apple Maps has been its default navigation application. The company did so because Google wasn’t ready to give Apple the rights to the voice-directed turn-by-turn navigation feature. If you try to install Google Maps on your iPhone today, you’ll notice it won’t work. That’s because Apple’s software system is closed, and Apple strictly controls what apps you can install on their devices.

Google’s Android OS is open source and anyone can make modifications to it. Because of this, apps designed for Android are mostly not compatible with iOS. However, small steps were made and Apple now allows you to set Gmail and Google Chrome as default apps on your iPhone and iPad. But if you want other third-party apps, you’ll have to jailbreak your iPhone. Keep in mind jailbreaking is against Apple’s policy and if you do it, you’ll lose the warranty.
How to Make Google Maps the Default Map App on iPhone and iPad
The only way to set Google Maps as your default navigation app on your iPhone or iPad is to install the Gmail or Google Chrome app. Make one of these apps your phone’s default and use them to open Google Maps. This will work just fine because all Google apps integrate and share data.
Note that you’ll have to create a Google account to use any of its apps. This account will also ensure you full access to all functionalities of these apps.
Switching to Google Maps with Gmail
If you want to change your iPhone’s default email service to Gmail and use Google Maps, follow these steps:
- If you don’t have it, download and install the Gmail app from the App Store.
- Go to the Settings app.
- Scroll until you find Gmail, and tap it.

- Select Default Mail App.

- Select Gmail.

- Open Gmail and sign in with your Google account. This is especially important if you are using the app for the first time.
- Select the menu icon from the upper-left corner of the screen.
- Tap Settings.

- Select Default apps.

- Select Google Maps in the Navigate from your location and Navigate between locations sections.

You can also tap the checkbox next to the Ask me which app to use every time if you want to choose between Apple Maps and Google Maps each time you open a navigation link. This is a good option for those who want to be able to pick their favorite app for different situations.
Switching to Google Maps through Google Chrome
- If you don’t have Chrome on your iPhone, go to the App Store to download and install it.
- Go to the Settings app.
- Find Chrome and tap it.

- Tap Default Browser App.

- Select Chrome instead of Safari.

From now on, every link you tap on your phone will automatically open in the Google Chrome browser. That includes map links. Since Google’s apps are integrated, Chrome will automatically open Google Maps instead of Apple Maps.
Using Google Maps via CarPlay
Apple’s integration system that allows you to control your iPhone from your car’s built-in display is called CarPlay. Use it to start the car, use navigation, make calls, or dictate text messages. Unlike the iPhone and iPad, CarPlay supports the Google Maps app. However, it’s not a default navigation system. If you opt to ask Siri for directions, this voice assistant will always open Apple Maps instead.

If you want to use Google Maps for navigation with CarPlay, you’ll have to launch the app every time. Here are the steps you need to follow to use Google Maps via CarPlay:
- Install Google Maps on your phone if you don’t have it already.
- Start your car and Connect your iPhone to CarPlay with a USB cable or wireless connection.
- On the car’s display you’ll notice a prompt with three options: Enable, Disable, or Always enable CarPlay when your phone is connected to the car via USB. Select Enable.
- The car’s display will display all supported CarPlay apps you have on your iPhone. That means you’ll be able to use the Phone, Messages, and Music, as well as some third-party apps such as Spotify and Google Maps.
- Tap Google Maps to open it.
- Use it to navigate your ride as you would on your phone.
Taking control of your phone’s navigation and apps is an important part of maximizing the features of a device and getting the most value out of it. It can take some practice, but knowing how to change your settings will give you more options for getting around quickly and with convenience. You’re now ready to ditch Apple’s pre-installed navigation app and start using the (sometimes) more reliable and efficient navigation services from Google Maps.
