Most content templates in Android for Cars support the display of a map in the
background. To help users complete tasks without leaving the map, use the Map +
Content template.
Like the Tab template,
the Map + Content template acts as a container for other supported templates. It
reduces the number of templates required to complete certain tasks, because
users can stay on the Map + Content template while accessing the capabilities of
the included templates.
The Map + Content template can improve the functionality of your app and reduce
the number of templates required to complete tasks.
