I have a 2022 F-150. When Google Maps starts it defaults with the 2 suggestions I have marked with the bracket. If I touch the up arrow next to Search these suggestions hide. Is there a way to make these 2 suggestions hidden by default?

I love this feature. Let's me know when to take the back roads to work. Why do you want to turn it off?

 

Before your phone connects to Android Auto, go into Maps app, go to the user icon on the top right and enable Incognito Mode. Then, when your phone connects to Android Auto, your maps app will have a tiny banner across the top showing Incognito Mode and the search field will be empty without those 2 recent suggestions showing beneath it.

 

I'd like the search box to disappear from the map view unless summoned.

 

How do those two route suggestions let you know to take a different route?

 

Thank you, that did work but seems to be a pretty drastic solution. It also turns off any access to saved places such as Stared, Favorites, etc.

 

the addresses will be green yellow or red times based on traffic. If its green the most direct route has no traffic if its yellow or red it has more traffic. If you look Work has a yellow time and Bracka has a green time

 

Bump: Has anyone figured out how to keep this search box from appearing every time you start your vehicle?
