I am looking for a map app to replace Google Maps. this is the winner so far. however, there are odd differences between the Android app and the browser versions. The big difference is that the Android app will search by business name but the browser version does not. Saving places works well except the names appear different between app and browser. but these differences are not a deal killer. So I am happy to switch.

EDIT, sure that's nav mode. I'm taking about driving mode. I'm really trying to like this map, instead of Google, but it's very disorienting, the map doesn't orient in my direction of travel, when I stop, the nav icon always flips to North (which makes it hard to determine where I'm going when I stop to look), and Auto mode doesn't really work for Day/Night mode, often dark during day and bright at night.

Thanks for the feedback! Once you are in guidance, please tap on the compass symbol in the upper right of the map. This will change the orientation between the two settings we offer. The light/dark mode issues are known to the team and we are working on it!

This is so close to being a great app, but whoever decided to make it impossible to search for a place while driving seems to misunderstood the whole point of using Android Auto. Desperately trying to figure out why this stupid app refuses to show me where to go, even when at a stop light is infuriating and does not make it any safer. If the app knows exactly where I need to go just automatically start the journey instead of making me choose a route.

Thanks for the feedback! While in guidance, if you pull up the lower drawer of the app, you can search for pre-defined categories, or enter your own destination.
