Default Android Auto users are celebrating a subtle but welcome Google Maps change

TL;DR
  • Google Maps on Android Auto appears to have stopped automatically expanding the Suggested Destinations dropdown on launch.
  • This unannounced change solves a long-time pain point for users who rarely found the suggestions useful.
  • The destinations list is now accessed by a conscious tap, but some commuters do miss the old, automatically expanding dropdown.

Google frequently updates Android Auto and Google Maps, but doesn’t always announce the changes. Sometimes these unannounced changes break features, but sometimes they do solve pain points that users have long had. Google Maps on Android Auto appears to no longer display a suggested destinations dropdown, and users seem to be pleased with this change.

Don’t want to miss the best from Android Authority?
