Android Auto continues to improve day after day, with interesting changes that allow us to continue improving its usability. In this case, thanks to the update of Weather & Radar, one of its most iconic apps, which offers us different improvements when interacting with it. We tell you all the details.
Last 2023 served to welcome, for the first time, weather applications on Android Auto, thanks to Weather & Radar. With it, we will not only be able to use the screen of our vehicle to precisely locate the exact place where we are, also to know what are the weather conditions for the different locations that we are visiting. A good resource to minimize unforeseen events caused by adverse conditions.
However, its main limitation was that it was not possible to consult, at the same time, the route we were following and the time that awaited us at our destination. A situation that forced us to have to opt for one app or another, depending on the needs we had at each moment. Luckily, with the latest update this has changed, considerably improving the experience that the app offers us.
Split screen arrives
Taking advantage of the celebration of its first anniversary in Android Auto, Weather & Radar has published a new update with interesting changes that will allow us to take advantage of this system in our vehicle even more. Among all of them, one that draws the most attention is the application’s compatibility with Android Auto’s split screen.
Once activated, we will be able view the route at the same time through which we are navigating and the weather we have both currently and what awaits us at the destination. As well as music information, messages or any other application that is of interest to us while we are driving our vehicle. A world of possibilities within our reach.
More changes
The split screen It has not been the only change that has come with the new application. We will also be able to enjoy the presence of interactive radars, which allow us to more accurately explore the weather around our position in a simpler way. Furthermore, they have also arrived additional radar layers that offer us the possibility of accessing more complete meteorological images.
Another feature they have added is focused on the safety of drivers while they do the same in locations with adverse weather conditions. A improved alert system It will allow us to receive alerts related to rain or snow in advance, such as heavy rain, thunderstorms or any other similar situation.
Finally, we will also have at our disposal the possibility of configuring the default view of the application with the parameters that interest us most depending on the use we make of the application, in addition to different options in the display scales to be able to access the text and map with better visibility.
