Default Navigation App

Voice In Canada Flash Briefing #1147

Hey, hey Teri here with your flash briefing for Saturday, hope you’re having a great start to your weekend.

On Saturday, we like to answer questions from the community and today’s question is all about using Alexa Auto for navigation.

And the question specifically is, “How do you change the navigation app that Alexa is using when you are using your Alexa Auto?”

It’s actually quite simple and this is what you do, you open up your app, okay, you open up the Alexa app.

You click on the More button in the bottom right, you click on settings, and then you click on traffic.

How do you change the navigation app that Alexa is using when you are using your Alexa Auto?

Now when you do that, you are going to come up with some information about common places that you might want to navigate to but at the bottom, you’re going to see a little place where you can click on it and it says default navigation app.

And here you can choose depending on what’s on your phone, you can choose Apple Maps, you can choose Google Maps, I have Waze and I prefer Waze, so I just selected Waze.

And now when I ask Alexa to navigate me to a particular place, she is using Waze so that’s how you do it, pretty simple.

So hopefully that is helpful to you, and it will make your navigation a little bit more easy.

Okay, have a wonderful Saturday, and I’ll talk to you again tomorrow, take care.
