Ratings and reviews

The android auto beta is great, but I have noticed a few things that will hopefully resolve with time. The map doesn't track well at all when you aren't actively using route guidance. Also, the option to enable or disable the turn by turn sound would be nice on the screen. Great job getting out so fast and holding your ground though! Keep it up!

Missing a few key features. We should be able to save pinned locations to our collection directly from the map, we shouldn't have to search for the address. We should also be able to report mistakes from the app. I've already noticed a few misnamed streets in my town and businesses that have moved but hasn't been updated in the app. There should be an option to submit these changes right from the map. Otherwise, seems like a solid app.

I wanted to like this app but.... It defaults to the English system, not metric, even though I'm in Canada. It doesn't seem to know about construction zones and if you detour, it desperately tries to take you back on the closed road. It should update the route with a newer short path but doesn't. I'd be horribly lost in an unfamiliar location. Lots of work needed to make this my default.
