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).

    Never understood men who keep their wallet or phone in a back pocket.

    Wallet makes sense in the back pocket. It's been kind of the default for generations so much it's a comedic point in TV Shows and movies at times. They're generally malleable and an easy place to grab, for better or worse.

    Phone on the other hand, I don't get either. They're rigid and can break quite easily if sat on. 🤷‍♂️

    Wallet in back pocket = back pain. It’s pressing on your sciatica. Keep it in your front pocket, or get cargo pants.

    I agree. I was just stating "it makes sense". Small wallet for the front pocket. Can't always wear cargo lol

    I'd go crazy if I had to sit with a lump under one ass cheek.

    First world problems. "My wallet is so thick that I call it a lump".

    ? My "wealth" such as it is is 2 credit cards, a debit card, and an id. If you're carrying around every card you have, you have no plan. Figure out your spending to maximize credit card points. Why would I have my travel credit card with me in the grocery store? I'd have my everyday points card.

    Don't you ever just get the urge to keep on driving and never go back?

    If don't have your travel credit card, you'll miss out on points while escaping.

    Most front pockets on women's pants are too small unless it's the dreaded fake pocket (Curse you cute pair of jeans!). Thus usually in my back pocket while walking and not in use. It is removed when sitting though.
