# Maps Make your navigation app’s actions available to Apple Intelligence and Siri by adopting schemas for common navigation actions. ## Discussion The `.maps` domain defines app schemas that provide a structured representation for common navigation actions and content. Apply schemas in the `.maps` domain to make your app’s navigation functionality available to Apple Intelligence and Siri. Each schema defines the requirements for intents, parameters, and results so people get a consistent experience across navigation apps. For example, a person can start a route on different apps that support the [`startNavigation`](/documentation/AppIntents/AppSchema/MapsIntent/startNavigation) schema with the same phrases. The following table maps example phrases that apply to each schema: |Maps intent schemas |Example phrases | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------| |``doc://com.apple.AppIntents/documentation/AppIntents/AppSchema/MapsIntent/startNavigation`` |“Navigate to work.” or “Take me home.” | |``doc://com.apple.AppIntents/documentation/AppIntents/AppSchema/MapsIntent/updateNavigationWaypoints``|“Add a stop.” or “Update my route to include my office.”| |``doc://com.apple.AppIntents/documentation/AppIntents/AppSchema/MapsIntent/stopNavigation`` |“Stop navigation.” or “Cancel directions.” | |``doc://com.apple.AppIntents/documentation/AppIntents/AppSchema/MapsIntent/shareETA`` |“Share my ETA.” or “Send my ETA to Anne.” | |``doc://com.apple.AppIntents/documentation/AppIntents/AppSchema/MapsIntent/stopShareETA`` |“Stop sharing my ETA.” | |``doc://com.apple.AppIntents/documentation/AppIntents/AppSchema/MapsIntent/reportIncident`` |“Report an accident.” or “There’s a crash ahead.” | > Tip: Xcode generates a template implementation when you type `maps_` and select a schema from the suggestions list.
