What reasons are there to change the voice and language in the GPS navigator?
Although changing the voice with which you receive the instructions is an interesting option, you should know that this will not change the operation of the application in any way, however, it will give a very personal touch to the service. This will allow you listen to directions in a different voice to the usual, and even in a different language.

How to change voice and language in Google Maps
Next, once the possible reasons for which we can be motivated to make these configurations have been exposed, we will show how to achieve it on our Android.

Change the voice
If you have an Android device and you want to hear a new voice in your Google Maps app, you can do it quickly. These are the steps you must follow to do it:

- Click on the your profile photo on Google, located in the upper right corner to open the Menu.
- Scroll down and select the option Settings.
- Now, go to the bottom of the page and click on Navigation settings.
- Once there, click on the option »Selected voice».
- Then, choose the language of the voice you want to hear when Google Maps tells you directions.
Change the language, without going to the settings
Google Maps was not one of those that precisely allowed to change the language, although at present it is. It has a menu in its settings by calling App language. Its purpose is the same as that deduced from its name: it allows you to choose between all the languages that are supported in the application. By choosing one of them, Google Maps restarts in the new language.
To use this new menu, you must touch on your profile photo, in the search bar, and enter the section of Settings. The language menu is at the top, which is a good idea, as you can find it if you mistakenly change the language to one you don’t understand.
