Looking for a transfer from Google's "driving mode" to "car navigation"

　Each company provides functions and services to use smartphones as car navigation, but I was exclusively "Android Auto".He has a high coordination with Google Maps, is good at controlling calling and background music playback, and above all, I like the fact that it can be used as a smartphone alone (even if there are no special in -vehicle equipment).rice field.

　However!Android 12 has greatly restricted the Android Auto smartphone alone mode.The alternative means are Google Assistant's "operation mode" (in fact, the Navi screen of the Google Map App itself).However, the fact that the usability is slightly different is as mentioned earlier in the series.

　About three months have passed, but I personally don't feel good.In particular, it is really hard to play the playback control of "Google Podcast" during the navigation, and is it said that the specialty unique to Google Maps was lost thanks to that?"If you can't use this function, you don't have to use Google Map for the purpose of navigation," he is looking for a variety of transfer destinations.I don't have any complaints about taking a guide for the walking route.

　So I'm trying the "Yahoo! Car Navi" Android version.Yahoo, who emphasizes the Japanese service in Japan, is the developer, and I still feel a lot of differences in detail.For example, it is kind that an expanded illustration is displayed at the time of the intersection.

　Even with Yahoo! Car navigation, there is no linking function with other music and podcast apps.I decided to give up this point in the short term.I would like to respond by switching the task each time with the safety confirmed, such as completely parked a car.

　The important navigation function is a solid impression.As expected, in this era, there is no mistake in the notation of the obvious road, or the timing of the voice notice at the intersection will be blatantly shifted.

　What I was worried about was that once the route guidance started, there was no menu to search for surrounding facilities or add a transit site.In this case, there are convenience stores or gas stations along the route, or you can't find them?I'm not used to this, so I will study the operation a little more.

　On the other hand, I unintentionally hit my knees that the route guidance could be "temporarily interrupted".That's right, I wish this was also on the google map navigation!On the Google Map, once the route guide starts, it is a specification that will be rejected even when you get off the service area and walk to the bathroom.Because it was too excessive, I felt that I wish I could pause the guidance, but this function is implemented in Yahoo! car navigation.

　Although it is not directly related to root guidance, the "drive function" that scores the smoothness of driving is a very interesting function when I actually tried it.The stability of acceleration, straight forward, turning, and deceleration will be evaluated with up to 25 points and a total of 100 points in each item.This game is not in the operation mode of Google Maps, and is honestly fun.However, if the score is low, the heart will be realistic.

　According to the "badge collection" that reflects the usage of apps, I am still a beginner, only 582km of Yahoo! Car navigation.After this, I will use it little by little, and I will check the advantages and disadvantages with my own eyes.
