Google Maps and Android Auto make peace and work better together

Google Maps is undoubtedly one of the most loved and used services among those launched by Google, over time it has become a faithful companion of many users in their travels and, if used together with Android Auto, it is able to guarantee more than pleasant navigation experience, allowing you to stay focused on the road while reaching the desired destinations.

Unfortunately, up to now Android Auto has had an annoying limitation: we are referring to the impossibility of using Google Maps on your smartphone and on the platform dashboard at the same time.

An important novelty for Google Maps and Android Auto

Well, it seems that the Mountain View giant has decided to put an end to this limitation, at least this is what emerges from the reports of some users, according to whom it is finally possible for them to use Google Maps simultaneously on their smartphone and in their car .

This is an important novelty, as navigation on Android is a little more detailed, showing a complete list of indications and, therefore, if traveling in company, the passenger can be of help, as he will also be able to keep his eyes on the road while using the smartphone version and look at the next indication.

Recall that this feature was already introduced last February but in that case it was only an error, as it was removed after a few days.

This time, however, it seems that the team of developers of the Mountain View giant has implemented it voluntarily and the reports of users for whom it is already available are multiplying on the  Net .

Probably over the next few weeks the possibility of using Google Maps on smartphones and Android Auto at the same time will actually be available to everyone.
