Google Maps was launched in the App Store last week, it was received extremely well by users, but one of the main problems of the application lies in the fact that it is not native in iOS and does not automatically open the links for locations that are displayed in third parties applications. Although a tweak solves the problem for those who jailbreak, the rest of the users stay with iOS 6 Maps, but that's if he avoids using Siri. Using the personal assistant in iOS 5/6 we can get directions for locations using Google Maps, and the video clip above explains exactly how.
Basically you have to activate Siri, ask to be directed to a location, and at the end of the sentence say the word via transit : Get me directions to Bucharest via transit. Saying a sentence like this will force Siri to open the interface for Transport Apps of iOS 6 Maps, where all the applications that can provide such information are listed. Apple gives third-party developers the option to integrate their apps with iOS 6 Maps for this feature, and when a user needs it, iOS 6 Maps lists the third-party apps that have it and he has the option to use those to be directed to a location.
Of course, the whole process is not simple, but it is an alternative to using iOS 6 Maps.
