How to Change Navigation Voice in Google Maps
Learn how to manage the navigation voice settings in Google Maps to control how directions are delivered while you're on the road. While Google Maps does not allow users to change the actual voice (e.g., male/female or different accents) within the app, you can adjust volume and language settings based on your preferences.
To start, open the Google Maps app and tap your profile icon in the top-right corner. Go to "Settings," then select "Navigation settings." Here you can control the guidance volume—choose between Softer, Normal, or Louder depending on your environment. You can also mute or unmute voice guidance entirely.
Although there's no built-in feature to switch the voice directly within Google Maps, you can change the language of navigation by adjusting your device’s language settings. This will update the voice and accent used for directions based on the selected language.
