Store listing
By Gatolabo, from Google Play“Launch Google Maps in Driving Mode on car head units and other Android devices.”
Description by Gatolabo Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
With just one tap from your home screen or app drawer, you can quickly access a driving-friendly map view with a tilted perspective and automatic map rotation based on your direction of travel.
It is especially useful on smartphones, tablets, and Android-based car head units (Android car radios and navigation systems) that use launchers that do not support app shortcuts.
If you want to start driving right away without going through multiple steps, Driving Mode Launcher provides a quick and convenient solution.
Features
• One-tap launch: Quickly opens Google Maps in Driving Mode.
• Simple design: The app has no control interface. Once launched, it immediately opens Google Maps in Driving Mode and then closes itself.
• Privacy-focused: No advertisements and no collection of user information.
• Broad compatibility: Works with launcher apps and Android car head units that do not support Google Maps shortcuts.
Important
This app does not provide Google Maps functionality itself. The Google Maps app must be installed on your device in order to use Driving Mode Launcher.
Background
Google Maps is an excellent mapping app, but its standard map view is typically shown from a top-down perspective. When driving, a tilted map view with automatic rotation based on your direction of travel can be much easier to use.
This type of driving-friendly view is normally available when using navigation with a destination set. Google Maps Driving Mode can provide a similar view even when you do not have a destination.
However, many launcher apps—especially those used on Android-based car head units—do not support the shortcut used to launch Google Maps directly in Driving Mode.
Driving Mode Launcher solves this problem by giving you a quick and simple way to open Driving Mode in environments where the standard shortcut is unavailable.
