On android

Hi i could'nt find a solution to navigation not starting always red button showing on phone Galaxy A26 5G despite position following along route wether its a direct route request or a saved one reloaded or online or off line with map tile loaded, if there is no course showing speed indicator is operating as soon as a new course is on it change to red, tapping it stop & clears route.

The strange thing is that i had navigation working sometimes in previous days(occasional same problem), so i have done the usual: make sure location on always on, tried autostart(non will not show a "start option)clear cache, restart, even uninstall to no avail

What am i missing?

thanks

You’re not missing anything!

The new version of the app supports background navigation (i.e. instructions continue while the app isn’t on-screen) but unfortunately Android is being problematic with some of the details around this. The problems only seem to show up on certain phones which, exasperatingly, aren’t the ones I have.

A new version of the app went live this morning (Saturday) and there’ll be another one in a few days when Google have approved it. Until then I can only apologise for the hassle. Android development is hard work. ☹️

I think it should all be working now with the latest version of the app, but do let me know if you're still encountering any problems.
