TL;DR
- Traffic lines are disappearing from Google Maps on Android Auto for some users.
- The issue appears limited to Android Auto, not Maps on phones.
- Some users say the problem started after the Immersive Navigation update arrived.
Google Maps users really can’t seem to catch a break lately. Not long after Google fixed a bug that made color-coded traffic lines disappear across Android, iOS, and desktop, the same issue has now appeared in Android Auto.
Several users in the Android Auto community and on Reddit are reporting that Google Maps no longer shows the familiar green, yellow, orange, and red traffic lines on their car’s screen. The problem appears to be limited to Android Auto, with affected users reporting that traffic displays normally when they open Google Maps directly on their phones.
