Hi mates,
Quick question: Do you know if its possible to migrate "sygic gps navigation" maps to "sygic car navigation". On the first there are maps for Peruvian streets but on the latter there are none and I'd like to navigate using my infotainment system. (Otherwise I could keep using waze).
And I found out that Android Auto integration with the infotainment systems is not available for Toyota vehicles
Thanks a bunch.

Hello,
I live in Belgium and can't use Google Maps for navigation. Is there a possibility to change the shortcut in the Car Home app instead of using Google Maps for Navigation that it starts Sygic Mobile maps or an other turn by turn navigation program?
Greetings
Im also interested in an answer for this, I live in the UK and use CoPilot for satnav as google maps doesnt work
Hope somebody can think of this!
Hello
I used a little workaround. I removed the Car Home app from google and installed "Car Dock" ( androlib.com/android.application.net-cwfk-ig88-carhome-iFqp.aspx )
This program starts when i put my Nexus One in the Car Dock. The application Car Dock comes up and there you can make an shortcut to 6 applications.
I recently bought a Nexus One and have been in love with it from day one - Its been 3 weeks and am still exploring the android and the phone.... I had couple of questions on the maps...
1) Is there a way to cache maps of particular region so that we don't need a data connection while using navigation?
2) Is there any way to make the maps app act like the regular GPS devices - i mean the arrow to always remain straight and the maps to turn instead of the arrow moving and map staying put..... I hope all understand what I mean...

1. Google maps supposedly caches the route you set. True offline navigation support is apparently in the works.
2. Use the Car Home app/Navigation app (Maps 4.2) to start navigation.
Alternatively, you could try true offline navigation apps like Copilot (paid) or AndNav2 (free)...
Hi guys!
I'm about to switch from iOS to Android and had a few hochkippst and roadblocks. Besides losing iMessage (I will try airdroid) I was also not able to get my smartphone running as the second screen in Android Auto as it was connected to my cars headunit.
I'm used to this because it's a no brainer with CarPlay. Google Maps and Waze are showing the direction arrows on the smartphone screen while the headunit shows the map.
Don't worry my smartphone is in sight height and I use this only for quick orientations.
When I want to start Google Maps while AA is running I get the message that open GMaps is not possible.
Is there a way to get my directions anyhow?
Thanks for your help!

You can try to use it in the way that on the car system screen you can use Google Maps or Waze but on the smartphone screen you can use some 3rd party app (not supported by AA) for navigation purposes. There are many such tools. Maybe there are some supporting big arrows on the screen as you expected. This 3rd party app will not disturb for AA navigation. I personally use Yanosik on my smartphone while running Google Maps on car system screen.

Thanks. That's an Idea but not the solution I'm looking for. Makes no sense to enter the destination twice.
Discovered that Android or at Lear's the S10 is showing the directions also on the Lockscreen. I didn't find any setting where I can set that the lockscreen will be steady on when it's connected to the car. Do you guys have an idea how to realize that?
My Samsung Galaxy Fold2 Phone and Blaupunkt B910Au San Andreas 970 Car unit have inbuilt Android Auto Wireless.When driving with Google maps navigation,can I search or put destination using my android phone by opening Google Maps App instead of typing in car screen?
Waiting with thanks....
No, this is not possible. As long as Android Auto is connected, you can use Google Maps only through your car.

Thank you,SOFO888 for your information..
It didn't used to be that way. Not sure why Google decided to make it impossible to use AA and Maps on phone at the same time. I wish someone had a hack to enable this (like it was in 2018)

It makes no sense, I find it annoying when someone shares a destination on a different app and I can't just open that on the phone and send it to the Android Auto map...
Hello all.
If I look on the internet for "Android auto alternative" then I get apps for on phone itselves, that use phone screen.
For unrooted android smartphone.
I want to know if their is a (prefer open source like f-droid apps) real alternative for android auto, that shows apps on the car entertainment system (in my case a Subaru from 2020).
I don't want android auto because:
- I need to install google apps, but I removed as much google and huawei apps as possible on my huawei mate 20x 5G.
- google decide what apps are accesssable/supported by android auto.
-with every android auto app update it is fingers crossed if the used apps are still available (for example Signal app suddenly gone from car screen).
So what none google app can I use to get my phone screen on my car multimedia system that supports android auto.
You can try MirrorLink if supported. But there is no other alternative as far as I know.
Unfortunately.
