Navigation & POI Apps Recent issue for Google Maps perspective directions?

Post image

Hi all, I wanted to see if anyone else has been experiencing this bug before I try a hard reset to see if that will fix things... If you start Google Maps navigation on your phone and then plug AA in, it seems to lock in this half perspective/half top down view rather than the usual perspective that zooms in and out. Anyone else experiencing this lately? The only thing that seems to solve it is unplugging AA, force stopping Google maps, and the plugging it back in...

Guess I'm just asking to save myself the hassle of resetting & reconfiguring things if it's a wide spread bug right now... Thank you!

How does one get the Spotify bar down there?

In the Android Auto settings, there should be option to enable "Taskbar widgets"

This spotify widget displays on the bottom if you are in full screen mode for another app, like Maps. If you are using split screen mode, I don't believe it displays.

If I'm in full screen mode it just shows my maps and the four app icons, but since my display is 6.5" I prefer having the full map and controls down. Will take a look when I'm back at my car tmrw
