So new model car consoles have a touch screen in them and it can show you the route on google maps if you connect your phone via “Android Auto”. The Android Auto works to a limited extent with GrapheneOS and CalyxOS (TBH idk if Calyx are still around even) but it’s getting worse with recent updates requiring you to enable their AI Assistant Agent to use it at all, and it has always require specifically Google Maps to work.
Ugh that fills me with dread. I don’t use any gadgets or screens while driving. I just plan my route before I start driving and pull over if I really get lost. I suppose at some point I’ll need to put up with a screen just to access basic functionality. :/
But anyway, I don’t drive much so my way works for me. I imagine if you’re like cabbing people around, or driving weird places, it would be an issue.
