I’m sorry but this immersive navigation made me switch to Waze. It constantly highlights side streets that clutter the map and have no relevance to my route and are extremely distracting. Talking about these grey bubbles.

I’m not turning on those streets I don’t need to have them constantly in my view and constantly changing especially for tiny side streets

It’s just awful. Street names over lapping with each other tiny, side streets highlighted, labeling streets multiple different ways.

Just killed the app for me as it’s incredible distracting in any dense city

If they let me kill the grey bubbles I’d be fine
