[Mobile][Other] Maps Integration With Car Thing

[Hamza_U]

It would be so helpful if the Car Thing could display directions from Google Maps as well as serving as a spotify-specific terminal. The integration is already there with Google Maps so I feel like this should just be a quick additional integration. Perhaps one of the preset buttons could be used to switch between navigation and music, or you could use Hey Spotify show me navigation.

I also would love it if Waze and Google Maps Navigation could use the Car Thing screen. Your idea has my vote!

I would love it if The Car Thing can display google maps navigation too. Additionally, if there is a way I can pick up or decline phone calls that would be like cherry on the top. That way I wouldn't even need to take my phone out.

The lack of this feature is the only reason I’m not buying car thing.

The lack of this integration is the only thing preventing me from buying it

I would buy my family these if it had navigation! Especially useful for older cars without built in navigation! You have my vote! I'll try to spread the word!
