How to set Google Maps as the default app on iPhone

One of the kinds of technologies that have made quantum leaps through the years is navigation technology. Apple’s own Apple Maps software has been on the receiving end of some heavy criticism in the past, thanks to the rather poorly mapped regions and the lack of a few regions altogether. Also, with Google Maps going great guns, and available on the iPhone as a free download, iPhone users found it very difficult to justify the need for Apple Maps, and there was a phase where people requested Apple to just get rid of Apple Maps, and integrate Google Maps as a default.

Jump to 2020 and with the new iOS 14 platform, Apple has gone great guns to improve the Apple Maps software, and while we can now say that it is catching up to Google Maps, but Google has kept the development of their Google Maps going and it is still inching ahead in the race.
