Android Auto has just been redesigned, and one of the most visible improvements is the addition of a new Android Auto home screen layout option. The software also features a new layout customization option for Android Auto. Without a question, the new setting allows Galaxy customers greater flexibility in customizing their Android Auto experience.
The new Android Auto design, as many of you are well aware, has a home screen made of three information-filled cards. Importantly, the navigation widget, which is mostly Google Maps, is the most noticeable since it shows you your present position and planned itinerary. The second card on the navigation screen offers suggested destinations.
Until the most current Android Auto beta (v9.0), this order was essentially predefined, albeit you may pick which programs appeared. Nevertheless, users were unable to adjust the placement of the navigation widget. That is no longer the case, thanks to the addition of a new option to change the Android Auto home screen layout.
To improve your driving experience, Android Auto has a user-friendly interface. You can instantly access the navigation, music, phone, and other apps you need while on the move by simply looking at the home screen.
Its design was created with your favorite functions right in front of you to ensure safety and convenience of access. Yet, there may be situations when you wish to customize the layout to meet your specific requirements. For instance, you could wish to move particular programs to the top of the screen or rearrange the order of the apps.
Steps to setup the Android Auto home screen layout
Updating the layout of the Android Auto home screen is a straightforward process. Just press the app drawer button in the bottom left corner of your Android Auto head unit. Next, navigate to the options area and look for the Change layout option. Lastly, select the Navigation option that is nearest to the driver.
