Question Google Maps and Android Auto

[Ron A]

OK, so I use my google maps app on my Samsung Note 9 (yes, I know it's several generations old. It serves my purposes). The problem is when I connect my phone to the car, google maps will work for 20 sec. then go back to start, i.e. the directions stop and it goes back to start again.

I have done the previous fixes: clear the cache, clear the data, uninstall then reinstall maps, reboot the phone, updated to the latest version of Google Maps, and updated AA,, just for the sake of it. I don't think it's the cable because I would be losing other things if it were.

Any suggestions are welcomed, (short of tossing the phone and getting a 24+ ultra)

Welcome to AC
I would encourage you to the S24U

Sure, thing. You got $1200 you can give me? In truth, updating to the new version ov AA seems to have fixed the problem for now. We shall see.

Update: It worked once, then it reverted to the way it was before.

Definitely, @50% interest? Otherwise, can go carrier route and pay $25 a month maybe get some money for your trade-in

Try another cable just to be sure

The new cable may be the next thing.

Welcome to Android Central forums Ron. We just saw this question not a week ago. I'll try to find it and post the thread here. I almost want to say that the issue solved itself. I'll look for it asap.

I must have been thinking of a different post because this one we never got feedback from the OP. You can see my suggestions for the that post here, perhaps they will help.

Question - Android Auto stopped showing Maps

Hello, I've been using Android Auto and Google Maps for years. I use it daily on my commute to select the best (fastest) route to the office. This morning I connected my phone to my car as usual and for a minute the map showed on my car's Infotainment screen then it blinked out and began to...

I'd say try a new cable. A good one too. I got this one, and have had no troubles with it:

I'd like to add...I think there is a tongue-in-cheek rule that you need a USB 3.1 or better for AA to work properly (no proof...just a tin foil hat theory that I have). Just because you have a C-shaped plug does NOT mean you have USB 3.0.
