It goes without saying it’s not the most convenient workaround, but with Google not saying a single word about a potential fix, this is pretty much the only option unless you’re ready to switch to Waze.Īlso a few weeks back, Android Auto users came across another problem with Google Maps, this time blocking the navigation from starting when the phone is locked. The satellite mode, which is one of the most popular layers that drivers enable when starting the navigation, has been broken for nearly a month, with the application freezing and eventually crashing on Android Auto.įortunately, a workaround does exist this time, as disabling the satellite mode altogether does the trick and lets you use Google Maps in the default mode. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean that everything in Google Maps is running properly on Android Auto. Fortunately, Google has apparently become aware of this problem quite fast, and while it has remained tight-lipped on everything, it shipped a fix in the latest stable build of Google Maps. Using Google Maps with the dark mode during daytime is obviously pretty difficult, especially in direct sunlight, so it’s easy to see why people have been trying all kinds of workarounds in the last few weeks.
Not a long time ago, it was discovered that Google Maps launched in the dark mode by default on Android Auto, therefore ignoring the user settings and other data such as the current position of the headlights. And as said, Waze is most often the first choice. Google Maps, therefore, ended up hitting all kinds of bugs that made way too many people think of switching to an alternative.
Starting recently, however, Google Maps is slowly turning into a major struggle behind the wheel, as for some reason, it no longer seems to feel at home on Android Auto.
