Start Google Maps in navigation mode vs route view
Completed
Hi,
many years ago the function -> Navigation apps -> Google Maps started with the route preview then once it was changed that the navigation starts immediately.
I'm still not happy with that because always I first have to stop navigation to get the overview.
Could you please add a configuration switch to configure how Google Maps starts? This would be awesome so everybody could decide for is own how Google Maps works.
Thanks Wolfgang
I like this idea 
Hello Wolfgang,
app currently send a simple request to "Navigate to" to all third party apps. If Google Maps changed it's behavior, we may do nothing with it. There is also no knowm method to me, how to define if Google Maps should start in "overview" or "navigation" mode, sorry.
What you may try is instead of this method, using a "Share > Other map apps" button. This call a little different system that should do what you need.

Google maps app has this "overview" button at the right bottom side. Sort of a double splitting arrow. Then return to navigating by hitting the button namend "centering".
