[–] one_old_coder@piefed.social 1 point 3 days ago (1 child) I haven't tried it yet in the car but they do have an Android Auto setting. No possibility to put it in the Auto launcher though, weird. BUT, Wikipedia says you should use the beta version: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Here_WeGo#CarPlay_and_Android_Auto permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] bookmeat@fedinsfw.app 1 point 3 days ago* (1 child) Tried it yesterday and noticed a couple of issues. The console and dash display got locked to 100% brightness until it went into dark mode (tunnel/evening light). The map didn't get displayed on the car's second display on the driver's hud/dash; only the directions showed there. The map was also more sparse compared to Google's. For example, it didn't show the lanes for highway turn-offs and a few other things like voice guidance (which I don't use anyway), but that was the only one that I genuinely missed. Still, it was very usable and I liked it overall. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] one_old_coder@piefed.social 1 point 3 days ago Thanks for the review. With Here Wego and MapQuest, I'm ready to uninstall Google Maps which was the last Google application on my phone. permalink fedilink source parent
