Default Missing incident reporting on Android Auto? Your car’s display is probably

  • Incident reporting on Google Maps on Android Auto is rolling out, but many users aren’t seeing the new button on their car’s display.
  • The button apparently doesn’t appear if your car display does not have enough vertical space.
  • Incident reporting on Google Maps on Apple CarPlay has a different button layout, so it works properly.
Google Maps on Android Auto recently got its much-awaited road-incident reporting feature, bridging the gap between the phone app and the app for your car’s dashboard. But if you have held your breath for the feature to show up on your car’s dashboard, there’s a quirk here that you probably didn’t know about. As it turns out, your car’s center console screen could be too short for this button.

As 9to5Google found out, the incident reporting button on Google Maps on Android Auto doesn’t always show up. This is because the button doesn’t appear if there isn’t enough vertical space in the car’s screen. If your car’s display isn’t tall enough to display all buttons, the incident reporting button gets removed instead of the buttons getting scrunched up.
