Can we please get a "pause" button in navigation apps?

I don't need to be yelled at to make a u-turn every 5 seconds just because I got off the freeway to get gas.

    There is but you have to actually go manually press it, which is generally more interaction with a phone than you should do while driving.

    On Google maps:

    Press the little x to stop navigation. Press the play button again to resume from your current position

    No, the X stops that navigation session entirely, and that's not what I'm looking for. Depending on where you are going, how many stops you have loaded, etc, you may not be able to easily start a new session. Breaking up the session also messes up any details about the overall trip, if anyone is trying to gather that.

    Google Maps does have this function for Android Auto, so I'm not sure why the mobile Maps doesn't.

    I've mapped a quick access button on my steering wheel to "toggle navigation mute/unmute". Best experience so far. Thanks to the engineer that decided to put that button there instead of a blank (when ordered without heated steering wheel).
