Ugh. Fuck Google. I wish there were more companies investing in open street maps just to make it the best map software out there. Then we wouldn’t have to rely on a corporation like Google that drops apps, services and features every year.
Not to mention all the tracking and privacy stuff.
Not sure why you got all the down votes here, as an educated society, wouldn’t we want more competition and less monopoly as the world relies on this tech every day?
maybe because android automotive and google maps are different
I’m pretty sure Android Automotive uses Google Maps as its default navigation system.
Probably because wishing there were more alternatives to Google Maps has absolutely nothing to do with Porsche adopting Android Auto.
As much as people like to crow on and on about having choices, they don’t actually like making choices. It’s been the same with Linux, there’s so much you can configure and change that you have to be proactive with your choices. It’s why people gravitate to Apple simple interface where every decision has been made for you and the answer to wanting to change how the system works is met with “go fuck yourself”.
look up overture maps
Microsoft, meta, and others are working together for that
You should have mentioned that’s a project from the Linux foundation, although Amazon, Meta, Microsoft and TomTom are controlling it
Wait until Porsche finds out who owns Android
Return to buttons. This “infotainment” fad is seriously dangerous.
I don’t suppose this is optional.
No Porsche for me then. Not a new one anyway. That’s a deal breaker.
I’m counting the days until Porsche joins the Google graveyard…
