Yes, you can use Google Maps with Hastings YouDrive, but you must set your route before you start driving and keep your phone completely still in a secure holder.

How to Use Maps Safely

Set your destination early: Enter your route into Google Maps before you turn on the engine or move the car.
Use a secure mount: Keep your phone steady in a dashboard cradle, cup holder, or phone mount.
Never touch the screen: Do not pick up, hold, or tap your phone while driving. If you need to change your route, pull over safely and stop the car first.
No passenger handling: Do not hand your phone to a passenger to change directions. The Hastings Direct YouDrive app tracks movement and can penalize your score if the phone moves or is handled while the car is moving.
