We are excited to announce that you can now drive with the navigation system of your choice within the Houston ConnectSmart app! That’s right, you can drive with Google Maps, Waze, or Apple Maps within ConnectSmart and continue to take advantage of Houston-only ConnectSmart app features, receive rewards for your trips, and grow your digital tree in the Trip Log.
To connect to your favorite navigation map, follow these steps:
Go to the “Home” screen and enter your destination in the “Where to?” search bar
Tap “Driving” from the options at the top
Tap “Plan Trip” button
Tap “Start Trip” button
Tap “OK” at the bottom of the Custom Navigation pop-up
Tap your Navigation Preference from the list among the options of ConnectSmart, Google Maps, Waze, or Apple Maps (for iOS users)
Once you arrive, hit the back button to return to ConnectSmart and receive credit for your trip
As mentioned, when you travel you can continue to get the best of both worlds by using ConnectSmart to access no-cost towing, receive flooding alerts, find parking, purchase transit tickets, and carpool, while choosing whichever navigation option you prefer to get around town. If you haven’t downloaded the app yet, you can do so here: Apple App Store or Google Play.
