  • Google - default search engine. Returns very precise data but is functional only on devices officially supported by Google and associated with a Google account.
  • GraphHopper - returns less precise data than Google in most cases but is functional on all devices
  • Bing - another alternative to Google by Microsoft

Selects the audio channel and its volume setting for notifications:

  • Music stream
  • Notification stream
