(lemmy.world) submitted 3 years ago by AlmightySnoo@lemmy.world to c/android@lemmy.world 114 comments fedilink hide all child comments I imagine certain features like Google Maps' different busyness indicators might be missing because otherwise that would require telemetry?

Also uses openstreetmaps and has some Waze like features to report stuff permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] scrchngwsl@feddit.uk 1 point 3 years ago Thanks, I tried it a while ago (two years or more) and didn't like it then, but it looks a lot better now. Will give it a go on some routes I know and see how it does! permalink fedilink source parent [–] seang96@spgrn.com 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) I am waiting for an android auto update where it has a mute button for navigation, if it had that I could live with all the inconveniences. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Faebe2222@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) I am not using Android Auto, but cant you just change the voice volume to 0 in the app? Wont it carry over the settings to the car? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] seang96@spgrn.com 2 points 3 years ago Sure but that is a lot more difficult to do when you forget and your a mile down the road and it's illegal to use your phone while driving. I might use it for my normal drives that I just leave on for reporting and use gmaps for navigation until it's added though. permalink fedilink source parent
