I’m team Siri and Alexa—#Womensupportingwomen. Why else am I team “Both”? Alexa can give you driving directions using your phone’s default navigation app!
Here’s how to get driving directions with Alexa:
  • First, make sure Alexa has permission to send push notifications and access your location in your phone’s settings.
  • Say, “Get directions to [destination].”
  • Follow Alexa’s instructions to open the default navigation app on your phone.
  • To end navigation, just say, “Cancel navigation.”
And just like that, you’re ready to go! Good on you for practicing
safe driving behaviors
by keeping your navigation hands-free! And don’t worry—I won’t tell Siri.
Before you hit the road, make sure you’ve got a
