It would be nice to be able to use the mobile app while connected to android auto. Why?
Because, not every car support long click on their screen, at least on mine I cannot (ford focus stline 2024), and not having this action, make it impossible to select a destination using android auto without searching for that specific place, for example, sometime the only information that I have is a reference from the destination, and after I search for it, I can drag the map to find my real destination. But, because I can't long click, I'm required to search in the search box for the destination, which is really annoying, specially if the search result returns multiple findings, now I have to find out which one is the one I need. But remember that in first place, I was already there, it was in front of me, but I couldn't click on it.

And, the mobile app doesn't allow me to use it, displaying a message saying that waze is being used by android auto. Why I can't use mobile app to set destination to android auto app? it's easier to use, and more user friendly, and the user can use the show in map option to be able to just click on another street near by the searched one.

Right now the work around that I'm using is to disconnect from android auto, set my destination on mobile app, the reconnect to android auto, which loads the destination set on the mobile app. But you can imagine the frustration while doing all these steps
