A New Google Maps Alternative Launches on Android Auto (With 3 Big Catches)
Summary
The apps come with voice navigation , turn-by-turn guidance, offline maps, and other essential features.Navitime is now expanding in the Android Auto world with a big update available today on the Google Play Store. You shouldnt try downloading the app if you live in Europe or the United States because the maps wont be available in these regions.Third, Navitime offers Android Auto support only as part of its premium plan. Android 8 was released six years ago as Oreo.Meanwhile, remember that Google Maps lacks a truck navigation component, with the application offering turn-by-turn guidance for standard passenger vehicles. Google Maps doesnt take into account the vehicles dimensions, so the routes it provides might include narrow roads and small residential streets where a lorry or a motorhome wouldnt fit. People keep misusing Google Maps , using it for truck navigation, eventually getting stuck in places where only a regular sedan orwould fit.Navitime has also promised to update its software with CarPlay support, but the company hasnt yet offered an ETA for when the application would run on devices compatible with Apples smartphone.
