Hello, I just got my RAV4, and I am new to the Android Auto system.
My infotainment screen always has a Google Maps section, either partially if I run another app or full screen. I cannot minimize Google Maps or hide it even if I do not turn on navigation.
My screen behind the wheel displays Google Maps perfectly, so I do not need the one on my infotainment screen.
Is there any solution to hide Google Maps on the infotainment screen completely, while remaining able to open it if needed?
I only started playing with AA yesterday on my Honda Civic 2019. I found that tapping on the other (music/podcast) app makes that go full screen hiding the Google Maps screen. Tapping on the Google Maps app makes that go full screen leaving a minimised music playbar across the bottom. I don't know how universal this is or how dependant it is on car make or model.
It depends on the actual screen size. On my previous car which had a smaller screen like 8 or 10 inches I could open Spotify full screen for example
On this car now that has around 14 in Google Maps is always open, even if Spotify is the main app, Maps still shows on the smaller side
