They killed the Android auto app on the phone, and replaced it with driving mode, which took away my ability to use a dashboard like app without also using maps.
Now they’re killing that.
I just want the android auto app back. I have an older car that doesn’t have the dash app, so I liked using my phone with a dock.
Same here. I used to love the mobile Android auto app. Was very disappointed when they killed it. Using driving mode with Google maps is very buggy and unintuitive. I’ve had a couple of near misses while driving just trying to enter my destination or interacting with the map while driving because everything is to god damn small. And voice commands are shit.
Google bought Waze. So I’m assuming they want people to use that instead. But it’s not a great as what the Android auto app was.
No I understand. You’re totally right. It was just some situations where I was on the highway and I hit the wrong tiny little button that cancelled my navigation or some misinterpreted voice command that couldn’t input my destination. Frustrating as all hell.
Google bought Waze forever ago and cannibalized what they wanted from it then killed the rest with the worst ads I’ve ever seen on a driving app. it straight up gives full screen ads every time you stop. you’re not allowed to look ahead on your route at a stop light without interacting with the ad.
i managed to block the ads, but it still pulls up a full page black screen where the ad is supposed to be…

Bro, you had near misses because you were using your phone while driving. Don’t do that.
If you have to type in a destination, pull over or wait for a light

must be nice.
Amen.
