Siri, Shortcuts & Automations

Can I combine Start Trip with other actions like opening Maps?

Speedometer's actions can be chained with any other iOS or third-party action inside a single Shortcut, so a single trigger sets up your whole driving routine. Example "Drive Mode" Shortcut: 1. Speedometer → Start or Resume 2. Set Focus → Driving (until Off) 3. Open App → Apple Maps (or Google Maps, Waze) 4. Play Music → your driving playlist 5. Set Brightness → 100% 6. Set Low Power Mode → On (for long drives) Attach this single Shortcut to any trigger — CarPlay connect, Bluetooth, an Action Button press, an NFC tag — and one event sets up everything. Build the inverse "End Drive" Shortcut for the disconnect trigger to wind everything down.
