Access location details and start navigation

AI-generated Key Takeaways

• Navigation or Map + Content templates provide detailed location information and action buttons.

• In non-navigation apps, the "Navigate" button opens a separate navigation app, concluding the task flow within the original app.

• This template showcase is specific to Android Auto and involves List, Pane, and Navigation templates for a multi-step user interaction.

• User interaction involves selecting a location from a submenu and reviewing details before potentially triggering navigation in an external app.

When users need more detailed information about a location, a Navigation or Map + Content template lets you present that information with buttons for users to act.

In this example, because the app is not a navigation app, the Navigate button opens a separate navigation app, ending the task flow.

Note: This sample flow shows how the templates might look in Android Auto.
