Some Pixel 11 buyers lose Google Maps' Immersive Navigation after upgrading

Google Pixel 11 owners are reporting that Immersive Navigation, Google Maps' 3D route-view feature, disappears after upgrading from older Pixel or Android devices, both on the phone and through Android Auto. Because the feature was rolled out server-side rather than through an app update, affected users cannot restore it themselves through settings or reinstalling the app.

Google Maps traffic lines vanish again, this time on Android Auto

Google Maps users on Android Auto are reporting that color-coded traffic lines have disappeared from their car displays, even though the same trip shows normal traffic data when viewed directly on a phone. Several affected users trace the problem to the recent rollout of Google Maps' Immersive Navigation interface, which added 3D buildings and more detailed road visuals, though the server-side nature of that rollout makes the exact trigger hard to confirm. Switching to Overview mode or rolling back Maps updates offers partial workarounds, but neither fully restores normal functionality.
