Google Maps completed its 15th anniversary last month with a new logo and new features. Google also actively rolls out new features and improvements for Maps on a regular basis. One feature that users may not be aware of is music playback on Google Maps. You can control your music player on Google Maps itself while navigating to your location.

Google Maps comes with support for Apple Music, Google Play Music and Spotify. On iPhones, Apple Music automatically pops up on your Google Maps navigation. Similarly, on Android if you're using Google Play Music it will show up on Maps. However for Spotify, there are some steps that should be taken to enable it.
