Android Auto

Hi folks, just a question for those who use Android Auto... my G20 arrives in 2 weeks, keen to know what I can add to my app shortcuts, or indeed use them at all with Android Auto...

Specifically can I use TomTom Go and Sygic Navigation? Use those all the time on my phone in my G30 as they have speed cameras and better traffic updates etc.. would like to use them natively with AA.... I see Waze is on the demo screens so hope so... thanks

Daily Waze user here no issues with it.

It's worth double checking with the dealer its got the latest software. I'm in a new 70 plate G20 courtesy car and that's got March 2020 software on. Android auto was introduced in July 2020 software I believe.

OK thanks, quite limited for now... however I did see today on a forum that TomTom Go should be ready soon... it is in Beta Feb 2021

Now that you mention that, I remembered reading this news some time ago : https://9to5google.com/2020/08/11/an...vigation-apps/

It used to be limited to Google's nav apps, but not anymore, at least not completely.
