By brolloh Google Maps has returned to iOS and is seemingly already doing a lap of honour, but wait a second! I seem to remember a kindly gentleman called Siri giving us a hand with directions in iOS Maps. Whilst Siri is on currently on lockdown to only work directly with native Apple Apps, he can help out with Google Maps, here’s how…

Simply ask Siri “Give me directions to ‘location’ via transit”
Whilst Siri won’t immediately switch to Google Maps but it will at least give you the option to route this journey using it. iOS Maps doesn’t currently have the option to use transit routes so we’re given a list of installed alternatives as well as relevant downloadable Apps.

Select ‘Route’ next to Google Maps and hey presto:

More soon!
