Changing the Language on Google Maps
Whether you’re changing the language to match your preferred language or switching things up to learn a new one, you can change the language in Google Maps in a few quick steps.
In the Google Maps app, tap your avatar to the right of the search bar at the top of the app. Scroll down and select Settings. Scroll down and go to Navigation settings. Choose Voice selection. Select a voice from the list. Google Maps offers several languages and dialects. The iOS app has a dozen English language options designated by geographical areas such as Canada, India, or Great Britain. The Spanish language also has multiple geographical options, as do other widely used languages, such as French. Android has more than 50 languages and dialects like English (UK), Deutsch, Filipino, and English (Nigeria).
Can You Use Google Assistant Voices on Google Maps?
Google Maps and Google Assistant are separate entities. While Google Assistant has garnered attention for updated voices and celebrity voice additions, Google Maps does not currently allow for voice options outside of those located in the process outlined here.
If you’re looking for more unique voice options, check out Google-owned Waze, which has more voice options and occasional promotional voices such as Lightning McQueen or Morgan Freeman. Plus, Waze lets you record your voice.
