The so-called “Driving Mode” will probably no longer be available in Google Maps from February 2024. This is indicated by lines in the app’s source code. According to the online magazine specializing in Google, that’s where it is 9to5Google to read “This view will no longer be available in February”. The information text is already stored in the source code, but is not yet displayed in Google Maps.
Driving mode is an optimized view that is activated when you use Google Maps in the car and start navigation. Driving Mode gives you quick access to Google Maps, compatible apps like Spotify and the Google Assistant. The view replaced the Assistant Driving Mode that was available until then in 2022.
Driving mode is apparently about to end
It remains to be seen whether Google will replace Driving Mode with a new view in 2024. If you are looking for an alternative to Google Maps, you will currently find it at TomTom. Here you can secure GO Navigation for twelve months free of charge. We explain how TomTom GO Navigation differs from Google Maps in the linked article.
