Get turn-by-turn directions

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 the widget

  1. Before you hit the road, add a 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.
TipCombine your Directions widgets into a folder on your home screen.

Use voice commands

You can also use voice commands to tell your phone to navigate to a destination:

  1. Say your launch phrase.
  2. Say “Navigate to [destination].”
