Default Google maps on non-nav Lariat?

My 2018 Lariat has the 8"screen but no Nav option. How can I get maps from my Android phone to display onscreen?

OK thanks. For some reason it took a few tries to hook up.

Thank wrenchguy. It was installed (from my previous truck) but for some reason, it took a few tries to be recognized intialized etc. All good now. Google can resume spying.

I drive rental cars quite a bit. There's a setting in AA that allows you to add new cars to AA.
It's in Settings > Connected Cars > Add New Cars to Android Auto. This setting was not on on my phone and it prevented me from using AA in a rental car or two until I realized what was blocking it.

I was out ice fishing last week on 2 different lakes. It doesn't even show the lakes I am on.
It is funny because the little pothole/ sloughs are on the map, and many of them are dry!
