When I drive anywhere, I use Google Maps and turn by turn voice updates are broadcast through my cars speakers and turn by turn directions appear on my cars navigation screen. In the past, I would have to pull over and type directions into my cars touch screen or on Google Maps via my phone. The folks at Google Maps and Android Auto have hit a safety home run. Using Google Assistant, you can now say, “Hey Google, drive to Yankee stadium”. Your cars on screen navigation will immediately start the turn by turn instructions with the accompanying voice navigation. This is great because I can now devote my time to driving. Not messing around with gadgets in my car traveling at 60mph during rush hour. This is an important safety feature and is welcomed. I will test to see if I can say, Hey Google, drive to Yankee stadium and avoid tolls and it actually does it. Stay tuned for videos and photos of this effort. Android Auto is Googles driving app for cars that have screens that can amplify Google Maps features on your cars navigation screen.
