Browse locations and start navigation

  • Submenus like "Recents" provide efficient browsing for saved locations.

  • Even with submenus and route selection, the task flow remains within the recommended 5 steps.

  • Android Auto templates, like List and Navigation, support this streamlined user experience.

  • Selecting a new location or route within the app is considered a new step, not a refresh.

Organizing multiple saved locations under submenus, such as "Recents," can help users quickly browse and find what they want.

In this example, even with the additional step of selecting a route, the task flow from start to finish remains well within the maximum of 5 steps.
