this is an incomplete picture though. Would Google Maps be considered a control or setting?

both. the map has many detailed settings which you might change once in a while.

there are also certain things you’d want to change (or activate) often - we could argue those are controls. Like muting, changing volume, or finding a nearby gas station.

You probably don't want to be setting up Maps on either a touch screen or a with keys while driving. But navigation and media selection are the two functions I'm generally happy to interact with via voice.
