Android Auto app updated, ads app switcher for maps section

Check it!!! That means Waze is ... well, not here. But now actually able to be used in AA once they update for it.

That's encouraging. I wasn't crazy about Waze when I had my phone in a dock - the screen was too busy - but I'm curious to give it a try in Android Auto and on a bigger screen.

Any other noticeable changes in AA 2.1? I just noticed the update an hour ago myself, but haven't tried it out yet.

Fingers crossed this indeed means that Waze is coming to Android Auto. And let's hope they won't limit it to Waze. I would love to use alternative apps like Sygic or Here because they offer offline navigation.

I just got the update today and it was noticeably sluggish. I restored a backup and it worked like normal.

Any reliable news on this front?
