That's a good idea. I should do that. Also, thanks for being someone who understands wanting to search stuff while in the turn by turn mode. It's hard to explain WHY I would need this, but it seems like something I experience at least once a week.

I think we agree on that point, as I started.

Well, unfortunately I don't have wireless AA, so the cable can sometimes be an issue. Beyond that, they aren't huge issues, but if I need to look something up in maps it won't let me. I know, I'm not supposed to use while driving, but if I'm at a light and I want to do a quick detour search I can't use the handheld (dash interface isn't as easy to use as handheld). The contact search\phone app doesn't work as easily for me and I find the voice search to be spotty.

Like I said not big issues, but mostly just preference; I'd rather have my phone separate and free from restriction as I only use the maps through AA. My phone calls and audiobooks\podcasts we're always fine through Bluetooth.

I'm not sure a lot of you are reading that they are replacing ACP and AA with built in Google apps, including Google maps for navigation; they aren't eliminating the functionality, they are replacing it.

I think I would prefer this over slaving my phone to the car because there are some real annoying things about AA when I try to use it while connected to my car. The only big question is: do they require separate Internet connection or can I use my unlimited data plan phone as a hotspot. Having to pay for more connection services would piss me off, however I read somewhere a few weeks back that connecting to the Internet via a hotspot was supported.

Yes my Gboard swipe is definitely worse than before. It won't remember custom words anymore, sometimes decides to not recognize my swipe and just adds the first letter, and gives wrong suggestions more and more, even when I know my swipe pattern is correct.

Swipe was by far the best. Why did they discontinue development? To much competition?

I randomly chose this to listen to on audible a couple months back; I loved it! So fun, so thought provoking, such a good book.

Book 7 was a bit of a drag for me, more so than book 6. Books 8 and 9 are really fast paced and good. It's all proto molecule stuff. I remember not caring about the free navy and just wanting to get on with the larger series plot during 6 and 7. You may have to trudge through those to get to the good stuff though.

I'm half way through leviathan falls. Super excited to get to the end, sad because I don't know what to read after.

No, I'm on liftoff. It's working now, I think it was during a DDOS attack out other funniness Lemmy.world was experiencing.
