Google Maps Interface on Android Auto Screens Receives Upgrades, But with a Catch

It has been a while since Google has been working on implementing upgrades for the Google Maps interface on Android Auto screens. Recently, Google has been rolling out new changes within the UI of Google Maps, bringing both good and bad news. The new updates aim to make the navigation easier to read, but they also introduce some annoying features that may make the user experience less than ideal.

New Features and Changes

The newest update brings significant changes that allow different Android Auto screens to adapt the Google Maps interface, making navigation much easier to read. However, this update also brings some drawbacks. Among various complaints, a user on Reddit confirmed that they have been receiving a new update that has brought about certain changes in the Google Maps interface.

The Centered Map Issue

Apparently, the Maps’ position when opening the Android Auto screens takes the center part of the display, which is a great tweak. However, this has proven to be annoying for users in a practical way. The destination menu covers the entire view of the route by overlapping the map. The user stated that the maps’ position was previously aligned to the right, making it possible for users to see their entire route. However, after updating, a large box containing destinations is causing problems in viewing the correct route display due to the maps’ center position.

No Immediate Solution

It was noticed that the newly released Android Auto 13.6 version is not the actual cause of this problem. Users need to wait until Google acknowledges the issue and comes up with a proper solution.
