Siri defaults to Apple Maps for directions, but if Google Maps is your preferred navigation app, this means a frustrating extra step every time you want to navigate somewhere. A Google Maps Siri shortcut for iPhone intercepts that navigation request and opens it directly in Google Maps instead, no arguing with Siri, no redirecting, just the app you actually want.
Ask the shortcut for directions to any address or place name. It formats the destination and opens it directly in Google Maps with navigation ready to start. You can also set it to prompt you for a destination each time, or pre-configure it for a specific frequent destination like work or the gym.
Go to getturin.com and describe your shortcut (e.g., 'Open Google Maps with directions to wherever I ask').
Wait a few seconds for Turin's AI to build the Google Maps shortcut.
Tap the 'Install' button to add it directly to your Apple Shortcuts app.
Navigate in Google Maps without having to redirect from Apple Maps every single time.
Assign it to Siri so you can say 'Hey Siri, navigate to work' and land in Google Maps automatically.
Pre-configure the shortcut for places you go regularly so navigation starts in one tap.

Just describe it in plain English and tap install. No coding, no App Store, no subscription.
Describe this shortcutCredit is required before Turin builds it. Review the actions, then install.
Signed-in users can build one custom AI shortcut each day for free, subject to free-model availability. Continued generation uses prepaid credit according to model usage, and a 0.1 credit compile fee applies only when an installable paid shortcut is stored. No subscription or App Store download is required.
Compatibility depends on the actions the shortcut uses and the software on your device. Review the generated actions before installing, especially when a shortcut relies on newer Apple features or third-party apps.
It depends on its actions. Device-only actions can run locally, while web, weather, AI, and other online services need a connection. Turin needs a connection to build and install the shortcut.
Absolutely. You can describe any changes to Turin and get a new version in seconds, or open the shortcut in the Apple Shortcuts app and edit the actions directly.
