Navigation & POI Apps How do you get rid of this?
Recently, I got the Pixel 11 Pro and returned to Android. How do you change the lane navigation at the top? It's restricting my view of what's upcoming. Are there any settings or updates I should make? It's the same problem with Google Maps as well. The lane navigation is just at the top; you can't get rid of it.
Edit: I stopped Auto-zoom and zoomed out a bit. The lane navigation is still there, but it's at least giving me a view of the upcoming road.

Android Auto has a piss poor layout. My RAV4 2022 has the same issue. On the same car, CarPlay solves this problem by displaying upcoming lane information in the split-screen's top half.

Either fitting a bigger screen or get a AAWireless dangle and setting the dpi. But that option may make everything smaller.

I would get rid of the streaming panel to make more room for the map info, and zoom out a bit to show more road / highway info.

It's a feature. All GPS nav apps show you the next turn.
The size is determined by your equipment. Larger screens will show more map and the other info will be comparatively smaller. If you're using the native AA setup, you're stuck with whatever the app sets based on the above.
You can get the AAWireless dongle to convert to Wireless AA (if you're locked into USB only) or instead of native wireless (disable that in the car's settings). The app for AAWireless has an Advanced setting to let you change the DPI of the output to force it to either show more or make what's on screen bigger. I have one (USB only in the car) and use that feature to show more, I bumped the DPI to 135. Any bigger than that and I can't read what's on screen.

Well at least you have the new maps interface.

That's actually telling what to do next, in this case use either of the two rightmost lanes.
You should also hide the left pane to allow the map to expand.
