Google Assistant makes it easy to navigate by letting you easily ask for directions, check traffic reports, and find interesting places close by. But there may be times when you want to stop navigating in the middle of the process. Google Assistant has you covered whether you’ve changed your mind, found a different route, or just want to stop the tracking for a while. In this article, we will show you how to exit navigation using Google Assistant.<\/p>\n

1. Request that Google Assistant end navigation<\/strong><\/p>\n

Asking Google Assistant to exit navigation is the simplest way to do so. Simply say, “Hey Google, cancel navigation,” or “Hey Google, stop navigation.” This will halt the current voice directions and Google Maps.<\/p>\n

2. Swipe up on Google Maps.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If speaking to your gadget makes you uncomfortable, you may also swipe up on Google Maps to halt navigation. The instructions interface will then be displayed. Next to the “Start” button, press the “Stop” option. The navigation will terminate after this.<\/p>\n

3. Discontinue the journey<\/strong><\/p>\n

To exit navigation, you can also end the route for the current trip. Tap the “X” button in the top left corner of Google Maps to accomplish this. This will display the list of instructions. The menu will then be accessible by tapping the three dots in the upper right corner. Choose “End Route” from the menu. Navigation and any audio directions you were receiving are now stopped.<\/p>\n

4. Disable GPS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Turn off GPS if you don’t want Google Assistant to follow your whereabouts. Go to Settings > Location > GPS on the majority of Android smartphones and turn it off. This will suspend navigation and totally disable location tracking.<\/p>\n

5) Shutdown Google Maps<\/strong><\/p>\n

Google Maps can be simply closed as a last resort if none of these strategies succeed. To see all open apps, slide up on the app switcher. To close Google Maps, swipe up. Navigation and any voice directions you were receiving will stop as a result.<\/p>\n

8. Integration with Third-Party Apps:<\/strong> Google Assistant can connect to a variety of third-party apps, allowing users to conduct things such as ordering food, booking rides, and more using voice commands.<\/p>\n

Understanding Google Assistant Navigation<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Google Assistant makes it easy to navigate by letting you easily ask for directions, check traffic reports, and find interesting places close by. But there may be times when you want to stop navigating in the middle of the process. Google Assistant has you covered whether you’ve changed your mind, found a different route, or just want to stop the tracking for a while.<\/p>\n

Is it permissible to use Google Assistant while driving?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Google Assistant can be used while driving, yes. If your car has Android Auto, you can use the Google Assistant app directly from it or from your phone.<\/p>\n

In a car, Google Assistant is just as helpful as on any other day. Through voice commands, it can operate anything, including navigation, communication, entertainment, and organizing.<\/p>\n

Using voice commands to exit navigation:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

1. “Hey Google, stop navigation”:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saying “Hey Google, stop navigation” is the easiest way to tell Google Assistant to stop guidance. Saying something simple like “Hey Google, stop navigation” will end the navigation process right away. This order is easy to understand and puts you back in charge of your trip.<\/p>\n

2. “Hey Google, cancel navigation”: <\/strong><\/p>\n

Another way to get the same effect is to say “Hey Google, cancel navigation.” Google Assistant will stop telling you how to get to your goal and let you make a new choice.<\/p>\n

3. “Hey Google, exit navigation”: <\/strong><\/p>\n

If you need to get out of navigation mode quickly, you can use a short phrase like “Hey Google, exit navigation.” This will stop the navigation process right away.<\/p>\n

Exit navigation Navigation Using Manual Interaction:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

1. Swipe down on the navigation card: <\/strong><\/p>\n

If you’re using Google Maps for navigation, a simple swipe down will display a halt button. By pressing this button, you can stop the navigation and return to the map interface.<\/p>\n

2. Use the navigation interface: <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Google Maps interface will display a variety of options during navigation. The “End” button, which is usually situated in the bottom-right corner of the screen, is one of them. Tapping on this button will halt navigation and allow you to explore the app’s other features.<\/p>\n

How can I switch between languages while navigating with Google Maps?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Google Maps makes it easy to swap languages, so you may use it in your native tongue or pick up a new one as you travel.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Tap your profile picture to the right of the Google search bar at the top of the Google Maps app.<\/li>\n
  • To adjust your settings, please scroll down.<\/li>\n
  • The Navigation preferences can be found further down.<\/li>\n

  • Pick a name out of the hat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Based on your preferences, there are many different ways to exit navigation using Google Assistant. Asking Google Assistant to cease navigating, ending the route, turning off GPS, or closing Google Maps are all options. Try out these techniques to see which one suits you the best.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
