#AndroidAuto

Sagt mal, wer nutzt denn hier #MagicEarth in Verbindung mit #AndroidAuto? Wie kann ich mir das denn vorstellen? Wird dann im Display meines Opels die Oberfläche vom ME angezeigt und ich kann dann dort Ziele eingeben und die Navigation starten? Oder muss ich trotzdem alles über das Handy machen?

Just downloaded #CoMaps as an experiment - haven't tried it in the car with #AndroidAuto yet, but also found there seems to be a some delay between the app making use of an #OpenStreetMap dataset (in this case the map is 2025-06-25 ).

This is understandable as it must take a fair bit of time to get all the data across and maybe it has to be validated (otherwise trolls/vandals could end up causing all sorts of chaos) - found in the FAQ that CoMaps apparently updates 1-4 times each month (which if true seems fairly good and better than some commercial apps!)

Got this USB wireless #AndroidAuto adaptor as I was fed up with having the USB cable trailing across the car into the passenger footwell (where the phone is in or on top of one of my kit bags) - it works quite well and doesn't even seem to randomly disconnect as much!

Might not be the most secure thing (and curiously you have to connect to the devices Bluetooth but then it transfers the signal to the #MIB2 connection just like using the cable!) but it creates a 5 GHz rather than 2,4 GHz wifi SSID so not going to go that far, and its only going to display the navi app from a bright red car that you would likely already be able to see in order to receive the wifi signal..

Das Ganze ist etwas komplexer und vielfältiger als "wenn man Google nicht will, sollte man [Google Apps] also nicht nutzen". Informiere dich mal, wie das Sandboxing in #GrapheneOS und #Google Play sowie #AndroidAuto im Allgemeinen funktionieren.
#OsmAnd braucht keinen Internetzugriff, sobald die Karten geladen sind, der Router ist eingebaut. Android Auto funktioniert offline und ohne #PII. Wenn du #Android Auto via Kabel machst, musst du dem Ding nicht mal WLAN oder BT Berechtigung geben.
