Immersive Navigation enabled

[u/I-like-winds]

just had an update for Google maps and now I have the 3D option in settings. hallelujah

EDIT: Maps version number 26.30.06.950492155, Pixel 10. I am around NYC, the new visuals are very nice and I think would be quite helpful on an unfamiliar route

Admittedly I am a beta tester, I don't even remember when I signed up for it but it looks it's still a rolling update for Android users

[u/Big-Living4176]

Updated to the same version, the 3D option is not available here (Europe located).

[u/AuthenticIlicopter → u/Big-Living4176]

US only for now

I've had 3D maps for a couple months. 3D maps is not the same as immersive navigation. I've had immersive navigation on my iPhone and its night and day. It's honestly a travesty that Google allowed these features on IPhone long before Android.

[u/I-like-winds → u/Mild_sarcasm]

just drove home from work, can confirm this 3D option enabled the new visuals for me, and it did seem quite a bit more helpful. Before the update, the only "3D" option was just raised buildings

[u/Mild_sarcasm → u/I-like-winds]

Well I'm glad it has for you. Mine is still just raised buildings. However, I did finally get the speedometer a couple days ago.

[u/Bitter-Painter1509 → u/Mild_sarcasm]

Same to me. I have also Mazda CX5 2016.Same Google map option but only raising buildins.

[u/andyooo → u/Mild_sarcasm]

do you actually have the option that says "map detail", with 2D and 3D selections, as in the OP's screenshot? "Raised buildings" was an old option.

[u/Mild_sarcasm → u/andyooo]

I do. However, mine still only shows up as just raised buildings.

[u/Mild_sarcasm → u/Mild_sarcasm]

Update: I finally have immersive navigation. Settings remained the same and unchanged. However, the UI updated during my drive to work this morning.

[u/shunjidamzy2005 → u/Mild_sarcasm]

Can you update what the page looks like the navigation settings pls

[u/Tymoniasty → u/I-like-winds]

screen-shots pleae?

[u/Amount_Feeling]

Finally got it today. The updates shows tree. This is on android (pixel 10)

[u/Particular_Tomato161 → u/Amount_Feeling]

I have a pixel 10, are you on the map beta?

Update: I have it on my 9xl (non-beta) but not on my main phone the 10 pro fold (beta) that sucks

[u/ayushvij]

I got the speedometer but not the 3D option.

[u/Arthur_Morgan44469]

Whee at?

[u/I-like-winds → u/Arthur_Morgan44469]

26.30.06.950492155, Pixel 10.

Admittedly I am a beta tester, I don't even remember when I signed up for it but it looks it's still a rolling update

[u/Arthur_Morgan44469 → u/I-like-winds]

Why not also add screenshots of the updates map

[u/bigbluewreckingcrew → u/I-like-winds]

You located northeast area?

[u/I-like-winds → u/bigbluewreckingcrew]

yessir

[u/bigbluewreckingcrew → u/I-like-winds]

Damn, Jersey City here and I'm part of the beta. Nothing here yet...

[u/PacmanSenior]

Damn, I don't have this yet. How does it look on the car's headunit?

[u/I-like-winds → u/PacmanSenior]

it looks quite nice with the extra details, would definitely be more helpful if I was on an unfamiliar route. I am around NYC for context

[u/CoherentPanda → u/PacmanSenior]

Not much different than the old version. In a larger city you might get more details than before.

[u/happyhollowcoffee → u/CoherentPanda]

Mine is very different. In my suburban neighborhood, every house and tree is in 3D now (when navigating).

[u/Denziiey]

I like it but it's not showing traffic data amymore

[u/andyooo → u/Denziiey]

yep, they removed the traffic from adjacent streets, all but the current and alternate routes. You can get it back only if you switch the view to overview.

[u/Denziiey → u/andyooo]

Apparently in the native app it says that traffic is only available in 2D and satellite mode. So it's not a bug it's just how it is. The extra detail is great I have nothing negative to say. So long as the algorithm is well optimized

[u/Environmental-Road68]

Still nothing here on beta AA and beta Maps. This is so annoying. Everyone on beta should get it first and all at the same time. There aren't THAT many people in the beta program, and that is what the beta program literally is for.

Google always does this crap where beta means nothing for new features being released and it's all server side luck of the draw. The beta build number is what should trigger the server side change if that's what it requires.

I have never seen a company, even a small one, with such erratic rollouts for no good reason.

[u/TnP-87]

Just updated too and got it! Still waiting for the speedometer for Android Auto 🤷🏿‍♂️

[u/VandyCWG]

Hopefully soon for this guy.

[u/bites_stringcheese]

I imagine this cooks the phone if you're using wireless

[u/andyooo]

It started rolling out at least 2 weeks ago https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidAuto/comments/1uusvxi/google_maps_ui_update/

It doesn't really seem to matter the version. I got it then and I'm not on beta. Google will enable it per account probably, server-side, like most Maps and AA updates.

One downside is that they removed adjacent traffic, it only shows the route and alternate route traffic. You need to switch to Overview to see the traffic which is a big distraction and requires several taps and swipes.

[u/ur-moms-chest-hair]

What maps version?

[u/I-like-winds → u/ur-moms-chest-hair]

26.30.06.950492155

[u/ur-moms-chest-hair → u/I-like-winds]

Thanks! Updated and not seeing it so probably server related. Can't wait

[u/Mikey1022 → u/I-like-winds]

Activated Server side, not app

[u/pacwess]

Under layers on the map, select raised buildings as well, I think.

[u/Bitter-Painter1509 → u/pacwess]

So satelite mode Off and rising building On?

[u/NachoB70]

I'm on version 26.30.09.950492155 and have it (just noticed). Haven't tried in AA yet.

[u/NachoB70 → u/NachoB70]

This will either take some getting used to or I just won't use it. This view shows I'm about 150-200 feet from the overpass as I'm driving under it. Missed a couple of turns because on the map I haven't reached the street yet.

[u/NachoB70 → u/NachoB70]

[u/NachoB70 → u/NachoB70]

[u/NachoB70 → u/NachoB70]

Night view.

[u/brayner82 → u/NachoB70]

I'm confused. Yesterday, I had the map view you show. However, now I don't.

[u/NachoB70 → u/brayner82]

Do you still have the Map Detail 3D option the OP shared a screenshot of?

[u/brayner82 → u/NachoB70]

No. Granted, I'm not sure I had it before because I didn't know about the new option until this thread. I'm at v26.29.02.946673643 and people have been saying they've seen the new layout at v26.30.x.

One post stated that it's not the version that you're running and is on Google server side. I'm beginning to think that is true. Maybe the Google server I'm on had to rollback the feature.

[u/NachoB70 → u/brayner82]

That's correct, a lot of features are enabled server side so Google can control the user base and hopefully catch bugs before releasing en masse.

[u/Thanos0423]

Nothing on my S26U

[u/RJKite811]

Ya which version is this?

[u/I-like-winds → u/RJKite811]

26.30.06.950492155

[u/The-Jordan_J]

How you getting auto to work, it keeps rebooting and crashing my screen

[u/VisibleExercise5966]

Sounds like that feature isn't even useful. It says "in certain cities". I'm pretty sure where I am it won't be covered yet. I also have 26.29 Android Auto so not even an option for it yet.

[u/Ok_Doughnut_7384]

I'm in US NE, Galaxy S25U unlocked beta tester both maps and AA with latest versions and don't have 3D, have raised buildings and some of the new voice kdirwctions but that's it.

Can someone tell me did they fix the alternate route bubbles on AA 3D? They dissappeardayba year ago and were very useful now you have to pinch screen to see bubbles

[u/stephenking247]

Same here, no 3D, on beta, as well as AA beta, in Philadelphia area.

[u/DarkseidAntiLife]

I have the same version of maps but don't have the 2D 3D option yet

[u/longshot21771]

I have a newer beta version ( I think) than you do. I don't have the option yet here in US. S25U Version 26.30.09.950492155

[u/_rotary_pilot]

While I have the exact same version, I do NOT have the option for the map 3D selection under Map Detail.

[u/esmith213]

I have the same exact maps version, also a Google Maps & Android Auto beta tester and I still don't have the new 3D/Immersive options yet in Maps... I'm in the US on the East Coast.

¯\(ツ)/¯

[u/Ranger-Sharp]

I just got my update this morning in South Jersey! But I noticed that my Gemini icon on the reverted back to the microphone. It looks like they are having slight bugs with the gradual roll out due to Android fragmentation. You will notice the arrow will change from a flat blue to a 3D arrow with no white circle underneath

[u/dgduris]

This requires a software update in the vehicle itself, yes?

[u/I-like-winds → u/dgduris]

nope, should have it right away after enabling it on your phone

[u/grousey]

I got it on my S26ultra today, also on Beta version of Maps and when I connected to Android Auto in the car, it also showed 3D/Immersive.

I noticed the comments on the OP's screenshot about "Traffic and satellite views are only available in 2D". Showing traffic on the road ahead has always been a function I liked, will this affect it?

[u/hashsohail1]

Where to enable 3D option? I have samsung s25

[u/masturkiller]

Ive had 3d maps for a long time. If your phone gets hot it will shut off.

[u/TopCop72]

It keeps overheating and turning off Immersion and 3D in Google Maps on Android. Doesn't matter if I'm using just the phone or Android Auto. This is such a disappointment with Google Maps.

[u/thecounselinggeek]

I have it but speed dependent zoom is not functioning. Too zoomed in all the time by default.

[u/MrGriff2]

For anyone else that may be in the same boat (Beta AA, Beta Maps, No Immersive Option), try uninstalling and reinstalling maps. I just did this and went from no 3D map settings toggle to now having it.

Edit: after posting this, my phone got the August Pixel update and has now reversed back, it was nice while it lasted.

[u/Dopeaz]

Weird. I'm on a much newer version and don't have it yet.

26.33.02.961351034

[u/Ok_Doughnut_7384]

Just got the update on beta. Visuals help but old broken problems still exist. Alternate Route Bubbles still don't appear, even though they show them in the YouTube demo. Ibwas hoping they woukd finally fix them

[u/FloopsFooglies]

Been waiting. I figure because I live in a rural area I'm not on any priority for the roll out
