Google Maps users on Android are currently facing an issue where alternative routes are not being displayed while navigating. This problem has been reported on both Android smartphones and on Android Auto, affecting several users who have recently updated the app or switched to a new device. As a result, some Android users are considering exploring the mobile web version of Apple Maps as a temporary solution.
Potential solutions for affected users
While Google works on a fix for this bug, users can try accessing Apple Maps through their mobile browsers or installing Waze for alternative navigation options. Waze uses crowdsourced data to provide real-time traffic updates and route suggestions, offering a different approach compared to Google Maps. Despite the inconvenience, Google Maps remains the dominant navigation app with a large user base worldwide.
