Waze Fixes Major Android Auto Annoyance

Waze⁤ Now Lets You ⁣Search for Destinations on Your Phone While Using Android Auto

Google is ⁤rolling out a new feature that allows Waze users to search for destinations on their phone while connected to ⁤Android Auto. This functionality, previously​ in beta testing, mirrors⁣ a similar feature already available for Google Maps.

Here’s ‍what⁣ you need to⁢ know:

* phone-Based Searching: wiht Android Auto running,​ you can now use the Waze app ⁤on your ⁤phone to search for places and set navigation destinations.
* Convenience: This is particularly useful for ​cars without touchscreen infotainment⁣ systems,​ and⁤ for situations ⁣where entering addresses ​on the car’s system is cumbersome.
* Seamless Transition: ⁤Once a destination is ​set ⁣on your phone, the directions will appear on your car’s⁢ infotainment screen via Android Auto.
* Troubleshooting: If the feature isn’t working, ensure you ‍have the latest version ⁣of the ⁣Waze app. Some users have ⁤also found success by force-stopping the app.

This update is a‌ welcome addition ‍for ⁢Waze users, and highlights Google’s continued ‌growth of the ⁤Android Auto experience. The article also suggests a need for Google to further invest in ​and support Waze alongside ⁣Google Maps.
