Google who owns Android Auto and Waze should allow the user to decide preference for map or directions when connected to Android Auto. Given many factors one or the other could be a lot safer so the new way of forced directions is Not for safety. Need to place a setting to choice or give back functionality. The workaround of reverting back to previous version and Never updated an app is ridiculous cause could miss out on many good features introduced. Come on Google don't be like Apple and dictate what we can do... That is anti Android.

Plus it does not make sense cause not like y'all are migrating to Waze and gonna abandon Google Maps. Heck I love to have Google maps on my console and Waze map on my phone. Perfect and safest thing for me and I am sure a lot others.

OK off soap box. Just stop trying to over think for people that is Apples job for their customer base. Android is for tech minded, tweakers, modders and the like. Free love is the way of Android.... LOL please please please
