How to connect google maps in your car or change destination with google assist and things you should know about car gps !

 There are several ways to connect a map application to your car's display. Here are a few options:

• Connect your smartphone to your car's display using a USB cable or Bluetooth. You can then use a map app on your phone, such as Google Maps or Apple Maps, to display the map on your car's screen.
• If your car has built-in navigation, you can use that to display the map. Consult your car's owner's manual for instructions on how to use the navigation system.
• If your car does not have a built-in navigation system, you can purchase a portable GPS device that you can mount on your dashboard and use to display maps.
• Some newer cars come with a built-in Android Auto or Apple CarPlay system, which allows you to use certain apps, including map apps, on your car's display. Consult your car's owner's manual to see if it has this feature and how to use it.

Some popular portable GPS devices for use in a car include:

To connect a portable GPS device to your car, you'll need to follow these steps:

• Install the GPS device in your car. This typically involves mounting the device on the dashboard or windshield using a suction cup or adhesive pad. Consult the manufacturer's instructions for specific details on how to do this.
• Connect the GPS device to a power source. Most portable GPS devices are powered by a car charger that plugs into the cigarette lighter or accessory outlet in your car. Consult the manufacturer's instructions to make sure you're using the correct power source.
• Turn on the GPS device and follow the on-screen instructions to set it up. This may include entering your location, setting your preferred routing options, and creating any necessary user accounts.
• Use the GPS device to navigate. Most portable GPS devices come with a touch screen and a set of buttons that you can use to enter destinations, view maps, and get turn-by-turn directions. Consult the manufacturer's instructions for specific details on how to use the device.

There are a few different ways you can control Google Maps from the steering wheel in your car:

1. If your car has built-in controls on the steering wheel for controlling a connected smartphone, you can use these to control Google Maps. For example, you may be able to use the volume controls on the steering wheel to zoom in and out of the map, or use the voice control button to input destinations or ask for directions.
2. If your car has built-in Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, you can use these systems to control Google Maps using the controls on your car's dashboard or steering wheel. Android Auto and CarPlay allow you to use certain apps, including Google Maps, on your car's display and control them using the car's controls.
3. If your car does not have built-in Android Auto or CarPlay, you can purchase a separate device that adds these capabilities to your car. There are a number of options available, such as the Google Chromecast Auto or the Anker Roav VIVA.

To set up built-in navigation in your car, you'll need to follow these steps:

• Consult your car's owner's manual to find out how to access the navigation system. In some cars, the navigation system is a separate module that you can access from the dashboard or center console. In others, it may be part of the car's infotainment system, which you can access by pressing a button on the dashboard or steering wheel.
• Follow the on-screen instructions to set up the navigation system. This may include entering your location, setting your preferred routing options, and creating any necessary user accounts.
• If the navigation system requires updates, follow the on-screen instructions to download and install them. Some navigation systems may require you to purchase and install update discs, while others may allow you to download updates over the internet.
• Use the navigation system to navigate. Most built-in navigation systems come with a touch screen and a set of buttons that you can use to enter destinations, view maps, and get turn-by-turn directions. Consult the owner's manual for specific details on how to use the system.

You can preload Google Maps on your car's display so that it works in offline mode by following these steps:

• Connect your smartphone to your car's display using a USB cable or Bluetooth.
• Open the Google Maps app on your smartphone and sign in with your Google account.
• Select the area that you want to save for offline use. You can do this by searching for a specific location or by zooming and panning the map to encompass the area you want to save.
• Tap the "Offline maps" option in the app's settings.
• Tap the "Custom map" option, and then use the map to draw a rectangle around the area you want to save.
• Tap the "Download" button to begin downloading the map data. This may take a while, depending on the size of the area you are saving and the speed of your internet connection.
• Once the download is complete, you can use Google Maps in offline mode by accessing the app on your smartphone and selecting the "Offline maps" option. The map data you downloaded will be available for use even when you don't have an internet connection.

To change the map displayed on your car's display using the steering wheel controls or Google Assistant, you'll need to follow these steps:

• Connect your smartphone to your car's display using a USB cable or Bluetooth.
• If you're using the steering wheel controls, consult your car's owner's manual to find out how to access the map app on your phone. This may involve pressing a button on the dashboard or steering wheel to bring up the app.
• If you're using Google Assistant, activate the app by saying "OK Google" or pressing and holding the voice control button on your steering wheel (if your car has one).
• Once the app is open, you can use the steering wheel controls or voice commands to input a new destination or change the map view. For example, you can say "Navigate to [destination]" or "Zoom in on the map" to control the map.
