Hello everyone.
I was wondering if someone could help me with this issue.

For a long time I’ve used Google maps for navigation and it worked just fine, but lately I’ve decided to give Apple maps a shot, and I was pretty satisfied with it, apart from one small detail.
I have my phone paired with my car via Bluetooth (unfortunately I didn’t notice at time of purchase that CarPlay was an option and therefore don’t have it available), and Apple maps always defaults the navigation output to Bluetooth. However, most of time I’m either listening to the radio or the music stored in an SD card (inserted in the SD card slot of the infotainment system) and therefore the navigation instructions won’t play. Is there any way to default Apple maps to always play the navigation indications via the phone speaker, similar to how it can be done on Google maps? Or do I have to change it manually every time I start navigation?
If it matters, I’m on iOS 14.7.1.

Thank you very much in advance!
