Playing music while navigating using your Google Maps is a habit of all music lovers out there and Google was generous to include the feature back in 2018 both on iOS and Android. But only a handful of apps do get support on Google Maps including Apple Music, Google Play Music & Spotify.

With an update this week, Google Maps now support YouTube Music only Android as for now. As we all know, Maps has a fullscreen navigation UI when you are driving so navigating back to other screen to change music can be little hectic, so built-in music support comes real handy.

Now, suppose you want to listen to some other song, just tap on “Browse” and it will load a grid of recent listens which quickly lets you start something else even without leaving the navigation. On the bottom, there’s a progress bar as well while you navigate.

The update finally brings support for YouTube Music on Google Maps. To set-up the YouTube Music, go to Settings > Navigation settings. Now, if the “Show media playback controls” is enabled, you can select the “Default media app” as YouTube Music and it will do the rest.

Both the YouTube Music and Google Maps should be updated on your Android device to use this feature, but the feature is not available for iOS.
