Android Auto

Not really a GPS application but with more cars having Android Auto installed, I thought I would just let users be aware that google has opened up android auto for other navigation app developers.

Both TomTom and Sygic which uses TomTom maps are working on updates for their apps to work with Android Auto

Interesting stuff. I have fully paid up Sygic on my phone. The main problem is that the phone gets pretty hot when running it and they have removed the ability to add third party speed cams.

yeh and it a shame CA don't work with AA either as would have been perfect.

I've got both Sygic and TomTom and prefer to use TT with CA but as I've moved to AA, I can't currently use any of them on the screen Sad

Do a lot of cars have android nowadays? Mine is old, that's why I'm asking

Android Auto is being introduced as new cars are developed with better headunits.

Some are better than others.
