Google Maps beta users are experiencing issues on Android Auto.
The latest beta update to Google Maps is causing some Android Auto users to experience issues with the navigation app. These things are always possible, that’s why it’s a beta version, but this issue seems to be making the entire app crash instead of just glitching.
Several forum reports indicate about Google Maps crashing in Android Auto. Luckily, the rest of the Android Auto experience works. Launching Google Maps is what seems to be an issue right now.
