Google Maps update on Android Auto has caused frustration among users due to a default centered view that obstructs the map interface. The update prompts a large ‘Destinations’ box on the screen, reducing visibility of nearby streets and points of interest. Users find the need to constantly close this box while driving irritating and distracting, leading some to switch to alternative navigation apps like Waze. The issue is more pronounced on smaller, lower-resolution screens, highlighting the oversight by Google in considering various screen sizes and affordability. Despite some users not noticing the change, the backlash may prompt Google to address this in future updates.
