Android Auto has some pretty crappy bugs right now and has since at least January for me.
Running at SPF instead of FPS until I close and reopen maps. The biggest bug is the menu bar at the bottom stops responding unless I reconnect.
I've tried wired and wireless. Reset phone and car to factory defaults. Using S21FE on a Peugeot e208. I see similar reports on Google forums and that other site and no fixes.
So, like Apple Maps.
It showed up on android automotive today too
That's annoying, I assumed this was a bug. I spent 5 minutes trying to find a way to hide this.
Why would I need zoom icons on a touch screen with pinch zoom?
Aftermarket head units aren't all capacitive (so they can't do multi-touch)
I agree about the zoom buttons. But the rest looks quite handy. Changing orientation and (un)muting took too much interaction and therefore attention.
Using pinch zooming while driving seems impractical. Easier to just hit a button.
