Change position of Alert Banner option
Have the option to move where alerts pop up. As it stands, alerts popping up at the bottom replacing the box where ETA is shown is incredibly annoying, especially when you're trying to either reroute or search something up. Let us pick where the alert pops up.

When I receive alerts for speed cameras or any other notifications while navigating, they pop up on the side of the directions box. This shifts the directions window to the middle of the screen and, once the alerts go away, the directions return to the upper left corner of the map. This movement causes distractions during navigation because I have to shift my focus to different positions. I would like the directions window to remain fixed in a specific location on the map and not change position when alerts appear.ition when alerts appear

Suggest either adjusting the font/prompt size for alerts or moving the prompt to the other side of the screen. Any traffic alert prompts cover the lane guidance and exit/turn info which on occasion cause missed exits/turns. I oftentimes have to clear the alert incorrectly due to it being in the way of seeing the directions. Can provide images if needed. App is updated and is an issue using Android Auto across several different vehicles and screen sizes.

When approaching a speed camera, the alert currently appears at the bottom of the screen. I suggest moving this alert to the top of the screen, so it’s more visible while driving. Thanks for considering this!

Alerts for traffic, pulled over cars, crashes and the like used to pop up on a little banner above the app. Now they appear right above where ETA is shown and is honestly a distraction. Alerts at the top of the map were easier to process and less of a distraction. If there isn't already, ability to toggle between two options of alerts in top banner and alert at bottom of map

When the pop-up alerts are displayed on the screen, it means I can't see any other alerts that may be coming up directly after that alert until I update, pass or close out the alert. My commute involves heavy traffic around the New York area and often there may be an accident right after a cop or a hazard right after a construction zone. It would be nice if one alert didn't limit my ability to see other upcoming alerts. If the alerts were moved to the bottom of the screen (I don't always need to see my car on the screen) it would allow for this enhancement to the application.
