Default Android Auto questions and tips.

Does anyone know how to navigate to an address in contacts? I've tried using "navigate to" and "directions to" and always get the not sure how to answer that from google.

Google search works great for finding addresses for businesses but not so good for people.

If you know the answer or have a tip for something else please post for the rest of us. There is not much info on AA on the internet.

Thanks

I'm pretty sure I've just used "navigate to <first last name> home" to get it to navigate.

I think the problem is that he wants to go to Bob's house but he doesn't know Bob's address.

google maps isnt tied to contacts AFIK. have to tell it a street number and name and city. or a business name street and city. like " Tigers Den on Elcamino ,Clearlake" etc.
Yes I know its a pain but till google decides to update what should be basic common sense programming we are stuck with just a graphical presentation of a fold out map.....Whats bad is its not even hard coding...its just dumb programmers that dont have a lick of sense to save their butt. book smart isnt intelligence.....its just retention of something read.
