Google Maps for CarPlay fixes route previews in latest update

A frustrating bug in Google Maps for CarPlay has left users without the typical route preview before starting turn-by-turn navigation – thankfully, it’s been fixed. If you’re a Google Maps user on Apple CarPlay, you may have noticed lately that turn-by-turn navigation no longer shows a preview of the route before you go on your way. Usually, Maps will zoom out to show a preview of your full route before navigation actually begins, offering a quick glance at where you’ll be headed, as well as traffic conditions along the route. Suddenly, that’s not showing, as quite a few CarPlay users have noted on Reddit. The change seems to have come with recent Google Maps app updates, and started happening a little over a week ago. It’s not entirely clear how widespread the problem was but, in our testing, we were seeing a bug where the route preview would show for roughly a second before zooming back in to a street-level preview.
