Summary at a Glance

Google Maps U-turns on ‘dumb’ change that’s left drivers frustrated – update app now to fix it GOOGLE has U-turned on a "awful" layout change that made it hard to see where users were driving on Maps.

Android smartphones can connect a car's infotainment system screen to display useful apps like Google Maps to get around.

However, complaints remain about how big the search box - even after Google's newest update.

Users say the box is unnecessarily large, and while it minimises in one tap, users add that it rarely offers helpful destination suggestions.

"99% of the time that I'm getting in my car I do not even need active navigation, and of that other 1%, the chances that it has correctly determined the destination in its suggestions is smaller still.
