Google maps and usb cable connection

Hello Tatted64,

You should be able to hear voice navigation from your car speakers using a USB cable, with Google Maps. Here's how:

"Use a USB cable

1. Set the source for your car’s audio system to USB.
2. On your iPhone or iPad, open the Google Maps app .
3. Tap your profile picture or initial  >Settings > Navigation settings.
4. Turn off Play voice over Bluetooth.
5. Connect your device to your car with the USB cable.
6. Start navigation.

Note: Use a charging-only USB cable or a power adapter that’s connected to an outlet or cigarette lighter.

Step 5: Download voice directions

• Sometimes voice directions aren’t downloaded or must be updated on your device. When this happens, you’ll hear a chime instead of voice directions.

1. Make sure you're connected to the internet. If you have a strong internet connection, voice directions download faster.
2. Get directions.
3. Use the Google Maps app as you normally would. Voice directions are downloaded while you have the Maps app open.
4. When the voice directions are done downloading, you'll hear directions instead of chimes when navigating to a place."

All the best.
