Tired of Apple Maps sending you on wild goose chases? Tell Siri you'd rather get directions from Google Maps -- no jailbreaking required. Here's how to.
As discovered by JailbreakNation, there's a simple way to trick Siri into using Google Maps for directions. Sort of.
All you do ask for directions like you normally would, but tack on "via transit." So, for example, to find the nearest Starbucks, you'd say, "Take me to the nearest Starbucks via transit."
What happens next is that Siri pulls up a list of any installed "routing apps" -- including Google Maps, which, as you probably know, recently returned to the iPhone.From there you tap Route, and presto: you've got directions via Google Maps.
This is perhaps better shown than explained, so check out JailbreakNation's quick video:
Granted, this isn't perfect. There's still that intermediate step of the Routing Apps list and having to tap Route. So it's not a fully voice-powered way to access Google Maps.
On the other hand, there's no jailbreak required,and you get the satisfaction of bypassing Apple's limitations on what Siri can and cannot do.

In this trick also we will be using a simple folder locker batch program which will first create a folder on executing and then will lock it on executing it again. An intruder may notice a folder locker application created by a renowned company but will surely ignore a simple looking batch program if he is unaware of the power of Microsoft Command Prompt. It can’t guarantee your total protection but it is a cheap and effective way to hide your personal information from any intruder even you family members.newborn car seats
