If you are a new user, see [Set up your Google Cloud project](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/navigation/ios-sdk/cloud-setup) to start the installation process. If you are an existing customer, see the upgrade instructions at [Overview and requirements](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/navigation/ios-sdk/setup-overview.md.txt). 11.3.0 Breaking According to the [Mobile OS version support policy](https://developers.google.com/maps/software-support.md.txt#mobile-os-version-support-policy), we're freezing support for iOS 16 as of Navigation SDK for iOS v11.3.0. The new minimum supported OS is iOS 17. Earlier SDK versions continue to support iOS 16. If your dependencies don't specify a version number, your IDE loads the newest SDK version, and new builds of your app won't support iOS 16. [Specify a version](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/ios-sdk/versions.md.txt) of the Navigation SDK for iOS in your app's build dependencies to control when you raise the minimum supported OS for new versions of your app. 11.3.0 Deprecated Deprecated the `GMSNavigator` methods [`setDestinations:callback:`](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/navigation/ios-sdk/reference/objc/Classes/GMSNavigator.md.txt#-setdestinations:callback:), [`setDestinations:routingOptions:callback:`](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/navigation/ios-sdk/reference/objc/Classes/GMSNavigator.md.txt#-setdestinations:routingoptions:callback:), and [`setDestinations:routeToken:callback:`](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/navigation/ios-sdk/reference/objc/Classes/GMSNavigator.md.txt#-setdestinations:routetoken:callback:), which take a `GMSRouteStatusCallback`. Use the methods that take a `GMSNavigationRouteCompletionHandler` instead: `setDestinations:completionHandler:`, `setDestinations:routingOptions:completionHandler:`, and `setDestinationsWithToken:completionHandler:`. 11.3.0 Feature **Set destinations with only a route token:** If your app plans routes with the Routes API, you can now set destinations with only the route token. You no longer need to pass the waypoints that you used to create the token, so they can't get out of sync with your planned route. To get started, call `setDestinationsWithToken:completionHandler:`, and check the route description in its completion handler to confirm that the Navigation SDK used your planned route. The new `setDestinations:completionHandler:` and `setDestinations:routingOptions:completionHandler:` methods also provide a route description. For more information, see [Plan a route](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/navigation/ios-sdk/route-customizations.md.txt). 11.3.0 Feature **Layout customization (Experimental):** Added experimental layout customization, which lets you customize the navigation UI by supplying a `GMSNavigationLayoutDelegate`. For more information, see [Customize the navigation layout](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/navigation/ios-sdk/customize-layout.md.txt). 11.3.0 Fixed Fixed an issue where rerouting could change a destination set with a place ID or a navigation point token, for example by routing to the center of a building instead of its entrance. 11.3.0 Fixed Fixed an issue that could slow down Navigation SDK initialization. ## October 23, 2026 All versions Change When you use a route token, the Navigation SDK for iOS now prioritizes the planned route at the start of a trip and during mid-trip reroutes. Routing options in the route token, such as travel mode and toll preferences, now take precedence over client-side settings. This change applies to all versions of the Navigation SDK for iOS, so you don't need to update the SDK. For more information, see [How route tokens work](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/navigation/ios-sdk/route-customizations.md.txt#how_route_tokens_work). ## September 24, 2026 11.2.0 Announcement **The Navigation SDK for iOS version 11.2.0 is now available** .

The camera now anticipates upcoming turns and maneuvers using route data to deliver a seamless, fluid viewing experience. 11.2.0 Feature **Route tile prefetching:** Added proactive caching of base map and road network tiles along active routes to improve map rendering and road-snapping performance in low-connectivity environments. 11.2.0 Fixed Resolved the known issue in version 11.1.0 where configuring Firebase App Check via `GMSServices.sharedServices()` failed in Swift and Objective-C. Introduced the class property `GMSServices.appCheckTokenProvider` (`+[GMSServices setAppCheckTokenProvider:]` in Objective-C) and deprecated the instance property `-[GMSServices appCheckTokenProvider]`. For updated setup instructions, see [Use App Check to secure the Navigation SDK for iOS](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/navigation/ios-sdk/app-check.md.txt). ## August 27, 2026 11.1.0 Announcement **The Navigation SDK for iOS version 11.1.0 is now available** .

If you are an existing customer, see the upgrade instructions at [Overview and requirements](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/navigation/ios-sdk/setup-overview.md.txt). 11.1.0 Issue **Known issue: Setting `appCheckTokenProvider` in Swift and Objective-C.** In Navigation SDK version 11.1.0, configuring `appCheckTokenProvider` via `GMSServices.sharedServices()` is unavailable due to an internal service handle type mismatch (calls fail silently in Swift or cause a runtime exception in Objective-C). Full support for App Check in the Navigation SDK will be available in version 11.2.0. 11.1.0 Fixed Fixed an issue where layout updates related to incident reporting could result in a crash. 11.1.0 Fixed Fixed an issue where an intermittent crash occurred when accessing `navigationFooterLayoutGuide` during early map view setup. ## August 06, 2026 11.0.0 Announcement **The Navigation SDK for iOS version 11.0.0 is now available** . See the [Release Notes](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/navigation/ios-sdk/release-notes) for information about this release and for all previous releases or subscribe to the [Release Notes XML feed](https://developers.google.com/static/feeds/nav-sdk-ios-release-notes.xml). If you are a new user, see [Set up your Google Cloud project](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/navigation/ios-sdk/cloud-setup) to start the installation process. If you are an existing customer, see the upgrade instructions at [Overview and requirements](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/navigation/ios-sdk/setup-overview.md.txt). 11.0.0 Announcement **Advance notice: Motion sensor authorization requirement.** To prevent app crashes, when upgrading to version 11.0.0, add the `NSMotionUsageDescription` key in your app's `Info.plist`. In a future major release, the Navigation SDK will require this key in your configuration for motion sensor features (`CMAltimeter`). It is recommended to add it now to prevent app crashes when the feature becomes active. For setup instructions, see [Prompt the user for the necessary authorizations](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/navigation/ios-sdk/route.md.txt#prompt_the_user_for_the_necessary_authorizations). 11.0.0 Breaking Removed support for the `.terrain` map type during active navigation. This removal follows the deprecation previously announced in the [version 9.0.0 release notes](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/navigation/ios-sdk/release-notes-archive.md.txt#May_28_2024). 11.0.0 Breaking Removed the `showsTrafficLights` and `showsStopSigns` properties from `GMSUISettings`. Traffic lights and stop signs are now shown by default during navigation. This removal follows the deprecation and transition previously announced in the [version 10.0.0 release notes](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/navigation/ios-sdk/release-notes.md.txt#May_19_2025). 11.0.0 Deprecated **CocoaPods is deprecated as of version 11.0.0.** Use Swift Package Manager instead. See the [installation page](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/navigation/ios-sdk/xcode-setup.md.txt#swift-package-manager) for information about using Swift Package Manager. 11.0.0 Feature **Visibility of off-route incidents.** Added alerts and visualizations for traffic incidents---such as road closures and accidents---that occur near a route but not directly on it. 11.0.0 Feature **Midtrip road reopen prompts.** Added prompts for drivers who traverse a road segment previously reported as closed to gather real-time feedback on whether the road has reopened. 11.0.0 Feature **Suspected road closure auto-prompting and dynamic rerouting.** Added support for automated visual prompts and dynamic rerouting triggers for suspected road closures. This feature is supported across all alert prompt styles. 11.0.0 Feature **User-reported road closure rerouting.** Added support for user-reported road closure rerouting in eligible countries using deviations tracking. This feature dynamically fetches and evaluates alternative (candidate) routes in real time, relying on enhanced network resilience to calculate and deliver reroutes even in areas with spotty cellular coverage. 11.0.0 Feature **Firebase App Check token support.** Added support for using [Firebase App Check](https://firebase.google.com/docs/app-check) to protect against malicious requests and support enhanced real-time point disruptions. 11.0.0 Feature **Configurable voice guidance volume levels.** Added support for configuring voice guidance volume levels (`.low`, `.normal`, `.high`) using the new `volumeLevel` property on `GMSNavigator` and the `GMSNavigationVolumeLevel` enumeration. You can now customize guidance volume independently of other media streams. For more information, see [Set the audio guidance volume](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/navigation/ios-sdk/route.md.txt#audio-guidance). 11.0.0 Feature **Automatic adoption of slower alternative routes.** Updated guidance behavior to automatically adopt a known alternate route that the driver moves onto, regardless of the ETA difference. This resolves issues with unnecessary "Rerouting..." spinners and U-turn instructions when a driver intentionally selects a displayed slower alternate route. No code changes are required. 11.0.0 Change Compass button default value. Changed the default value of the [`compassButton`](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/navigation/ios-sdk/reference/objc/Classes/GMSUISettings.md.txt#compassbutton) property on `GMSUISettings` from `false` to `true`. This update follows the default transition previously announced in the [version 10.0.0 release notes](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/navigation/ios-sdk/release-notes.md.txt#May_19_2025). 11.0.0 Fixed Fixed an Xcode 15+ linker crash when you build apps targeting iOS 18.0 or later. If you're using the `-Wl,-no_objc_class_refs_in_got` workaround flag, you can now remove it. ## June 24, 2026 10.15.0 Announcement **The Navigation SDK for iOS version 10.15.0 is now available** .

If you are an existing customer, see the upgrade instructions at [Overview and requirements](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/navigation/ios-sdk/setup-overview.md.txt). 10.1.0 Deprecated `showsTrafficLights` and `showsStopSigns` are deprecated and will be removed in a future release. 10.1.0 Feature **Custom buttons for real-time disruptions**. You can now create custom buttons to initiate the real-time disruptions (RTD) reporting flow. The new [`reportIncidentsAvailable`](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/navigation/ios-sdk/reference/objc/Classes/GMSMapView.md.txt#reportincidentsavailable) and [`presentReportIncidentsPanel`](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/navigation/ios-sdk/reference/objc/Classes/GMSMapView.md.txt#/c:objc(cs)GMSMapView(im)presentReportIncidentsPanel:completion:) methods have been added to the [`GMSMapView`](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/navigation/ios-sdk/reference/objc/Classes/GMSMapView.md.txt#/c:objc(cs)GMSMapView(im)) class. These methods allow you to: - Check if incident reporting is available for the current navigation context. - Display the incident reporting panel programmatically, enabling you to implement custom incident reporting buttons. [See the full documentation](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/navigation/ios-sdk/real-time-disruptions.md.txt#custom-reporting-button). 10.1.0 Feature **Maneuver callouts enabled**. Callouts now appear before the next maneuver(s) that a user needs to make, not at the moment they need to make the maneuver. 10.1.0 Feature **Slowdown and stalled vehicle callouts disabled**. Callouts now do not appear for slowdowns and stalled vehicles, and users are no longer able to vote or report on stalled vehicle incidents. This creates a more streamlined experience. 10.1.0 Feature **Added the ability to control the visibility of real-time disruption callouts using the `shouldDisplayPrompts` method.** For more information, see [Interactive disruption callouts along routes](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/navigation/ios-sdk/real-time-disruptions.md.txt#disruption-callouts). 10.1.0 Fixed **Fixed**: Issue where background notifications were not replaced. 10.1.0 Fixed **Fixed**: The corner radius of the ETA card has been adjusted to match other Google UI elements. 10.1.0 Fixed **Fixed** : The real-time disruption button now moves vertically when `mapPadding` is added. ## May 19, 2025 10.0.0 Breaking According to the [Mobile OS version support policy](https://developers.google.com/maps/software-support.md.txt#mobile-os-version-support-policy), we are freezing support for iOS 15 as of Navigation SDK for iOS v10.0.0. The new minimum supported OS is iOS 16. Earlier SDK versions will continue supporting iOS 15. If your dependencies do not specify a version number, your IDE will load the newest SDK version and new builds of your app will not support iOS 15. [Specify a version](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/ios-sdk/versions.md.txt) of the Navigation SDK for iOS in your application's build dependencies in order to control when you raise the minimum supported OS for new versions of your app. 10.0.0 Announcement **The Navigation SDK for iOS version 10.0.0 is now available** . See the [Release Notes](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/navigation/ios-sdk/release-notes.md.txt) for information about this release and for all previous releases or subscribe to the [Release Notes XML feed](https://developers.google.com/static/feeds/nav-sdk-ios-release-notes.xml).

If you are an existing customer, see the upgrade instructions at [Overview and requirements](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/navigation/ios-sdk/setup-overview.md.txt). 10.0.0 Deprecated The [showsTrafficLights](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/navigation/ios-sdk/reference/objc/Classes/GMSUISettings.md.txt#showstrafficlights) and [showsStopSigns](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/navigation/ios-sdk/reference/objc/Classes/GMSUISettings.md.txt#showsstopsigns) properties in GMSUISettings are now deprecated. Traffic lights and stop signs will be shown along the route during navigation by default, when the data is available. 10.0.0 Announcement In the next major version of Navigation SDK, traffic lights and stop signs in `GMSUISettings` will be shown by default. 10.0.0 Announcement In the next major version of Navigation SDK, `compassButton` in `GMSUISettings` will be shown by default. 10.0.0 Feature **Destination and entrance highlighting** . When a destination is created with a [placeID](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/ios-sdk/place-id.md.txt), the destination building will now be highlighted and an entrance icon will be shown whenever possible. These visual cues aid users in distinguishing and navigating to their intended destination. [See the documentation](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/navigation/ios-sdk/controls.md.txt#destination_highlighting_and_entrances). 10.0.0 Feature **Route-relevant orientation landmark POIs**. Landmark POIs, featuring visibly prominent chains, are displayed by default along routes and near key intersections where maneuvers are required. These pins appear in both the route overview and during active navigation. This feature is on by default. 10.0.0 Announcement The new minimum version of Xcode is 16.0. 10.0.0 Change **The compass button in active navigation mode has been updated.** The size and style has been updated to match other Google Maps Mobile offerings, though the default position has not changed. To avoid driver distraction, the compass will remain in the same position if the header (in portrait mode) expands and conflicts with the default position of the compass. If you add a secondary header custom control or header accessory view, the compass is now hidden to avoid UI conflicts. The compass now supports day and night modes, as well as dark mode. ## March 24, 2025 9.4.0 Announcement **The Navigation SDK for iOS version 9.4.0 is now available** .
