It's not quite the same, but in Google Maps you can switch the language of the app itself. I use this to get navigation not butchering street names into unrecognisability while the rest of my phone is English. It does do the whole navigation in that language though, so you do need to be able to understand it to a reasonable degree, and it won't switch based on places (so it'll then mess up when I'm somewhere with English names.)
- franky47 3y agoNot all languages are created equal though. When driving in the UK, I use the American English voice which gives more precise directions, like street names. The British English voice doesn't (just "turn left, turn right").
- __jonas 3y agoThis would already be an improvement for me, since I am a native German speaker who usually prefers device language be set to English. I wasn't aware it was possible to set language on a per-app basis on iOS, thank you! Doesn't work for Apple Maps unfortunately, which has a nice voice but is dependent on the Siri voice setting, which I prefer to be in English.
