Is it broken ??

When I am in the car, the Nav phone app is connected to android photo --- so I go on the car display and page to "my places" -- I have over 15 "places" in my account but on the are screen I see 3 or 4 of them --- the scroll arrows don't work --- what is the deal here?

also, I tried to save a location holding down on the car screen --- that did not work -- do I have to do that on the phone screen to save the location by gps info?

According to TomTom, the limited number of choices and scrolling is a limitation set by Google on the AA system for "safety" reasons. That said, I've seen other apps that exceed this number by allowing scrolling.

If you stop and put things into Park, see whether you get a larger, scroll-able list then.

What you're describing is one reason I do not use this app on AA.

umm ... I was in park trying to do this --- looks like I will not be renewing my subscription

Hm... will have to look at that. Sounds like perhaps something broken in AA. When not driving, it should allow apps to scroll.

On your phone, your 15 locations are visible.
On Android Auto, the visible locations are limited to 6, even if you're stationary.

Google decided on this feature, so not renewing your subscription doesn't make much sense, does it?

thanks for that info --- so while connected to AA can I then find "my place" and set it to "drive to" on the phone? will the route then show up on the car display?

If you select the location from your phone, Android Auto should display it on the car's screen.

Yes, if you can select it on the phone, AA will play along for navigation. You just can't do much for selections on AA itself.

thanks for clearing that up
