Question Google Maps 26.xx.xxx

[ilyabyk83]

Hi people and the great moderator team here. This is a question that might not have an solution to..

I drive a 2025 Nissan Altima and it's fully compatible with my Galaxy S25+ . I have a USB dongle and a physical USB cable. I kind use the cable because, plugging in the cable also means you are charging, vs just the wireless sound.

Anyways, is there a way to change that voice that reads me the streets and names and all? At least to a male one?? Thanx people

I'm with ya on this one. You used to be able to do this by changing the voice of Google Assistant, but when things started shifting towards Gemini, that changed and you can no longer 'match' the maps voice to Gemini. I hope this comes back, but right now, there's no way to change it.

I have only one [language redacted by Mod] to talk to me. I want a guy and to tell me street names and all..

For me it's more about the pitch of the voice. Someone mentioned another reason in another forum: people with hearing loss on the higher frequency tend to struggle with the female voice giving you directions.

But, right now it's this default female voice. Can't change to at least a man's voice.. Thanks for your time

Does the car have Android Auto, or does it have its own nav system?

LoL Nahhh! I just imagine sheet to happen.. hahaha
My phone is connected with a cable plugged in the car, everything works just perfect!!

I have 0 issues with anything. My music plays. It speaks in this ugly generic female voice whenever Maps are on..

How do I change that annoying generic voice?! I think this is not available yet. But But But I %100 had a different voice before (some African-American woman..)..

I don't think there's a way to choose a male voice for Google Maps navigation. You can send feedback to Google about this from within the Google Maps settings.

Here's a thread where the issue is discussed -- you could try the suggestions, but no guarantees that it'll work: https://support.google.com/maps/thr...cted the,managed separately behind the scenes.
