Can we please get a "pause" button in navigation apps?
I don't need to be yelled at to make a u-turn every 5 seconds just because I got off the freeway to get gas.
I've mapped a quick access button on my steering wheel to "toggle navigation mute/unmute". Best experience so far. Thanks to the engineer that decided to put that button there instead of a blank (when ordered without heated steering wheel).
Mine has a mute
There is but you have to actually go manually press it, which is generally more interaction with a phone than you should do while driving.
Not for most of them. All the ones I've used will let you turn off/stop the navigation, but not pause it. The closest you can get is turning the volume off.
Well the app I use (recent versions of Apple Maps) does have pause as an option.
Or the constant "duh dun" noise as it's recalculating the route while you're driving around the station trying to find an open pump
I REALLY wish you could make it the meme Nuh Uh sound effect
On Google maps:
Press the little x to stop navigation. Press the play button again to resume from your current position
No, the X stops that navigation session entirely, and that's not what I'm looking for. Depending on where you are going, how many stops you have loaded, etc, you may not be able to easily start a new session. Breaking up the session also messes up any details about the overall trip, if anyone is trying to gather that.
Google Maps does have this function for Android Auto, so I'm not sure why the mobile Maps doesn't.
Yeah folks just don't know how to use what they have
There is on most apps
