How to Make Google Maps Default on iPhone

 An integrated navigation tool on iPhones and iPads is called Apple Maps. However, some people prefer Google Maps to Apple Maps because of its easy interface and greater navigation data. Apple Maps will launch immediately if you have already opened a link address in the Mail or Safari apps. You have to change it to Google Maps for better accuracy. On iPhones, there is no setting to make Google Maps or any other app the default GPS app, in contrast to Android smartphones. However, there is a different approach that enables you to use Google Maps by default. You must change the Chrome and Gmail apps’ default settings for that.
