How can I make Siri pause navigation?

Both Apple Maps and Google Maps are designed to pause or slow down navigation updates when your vehicle is stationary, such as when you're:

• At a gas station
• Stopped at a traffic light
• In heavy traffic or traffic congestion

Here’s how it works:

• Apple Maps and Google Maps use GPS, motion sensors, and sometimes even Bluetooth/car connection datato detect whether you're moving.
• When the vehicle is stationary for a short period, the apps typically don’t give voice directions or reroute, since there’s no change in location.
• If you remain stopped for a longer time (e.g., filling up gas), the app may show a "resuming navigation" message or simply pause the spoken directions without fully stopping the navigation.
• Once you start driving again, navigation automatically resumes, continuing with the next set of directions.

So no, you don’t need to ask Siri or tap anything to stop or resume navigation manually—it’s all handled automatically unless you deliberately end navigation.
