Quick Summary
Google has pushed an update for Android Auto that has arguably changed the Google Maps display for the worse.
If you're driving without navigation, the search box will now obscure the route that you're on, so you can't see anything.
If you have an Android phone and a recent car, then there’s a good chance you use Android Auto, either by plugging your phone in, or on recent models, via Bluetooth. But, Google does like to tinker with it, and this recent update is causing some disquiet.
