Route Bar not showing anymore on Android Auto

[brainsie]

For a few weeks, the route bar on Android Auto hasn't shown for me. I haven't changed my car/phone setup, and I have both Android Auto and the TomTom app updated to the latest version.

As a beta tester for the TomTom app, I posted feedback via the Play Store and received instructions to clear the cache and remove & add the app from Android Auto again. However, this didn't fix the issue.

Am I the only one having the issue?

I'm having the same issue for a couple of weeks as well. It started with Android Auto version 13.4. No more route bar showing and the blue navigation box in the upper left corner turned from blue to light grey and was nearly unreadable. Since AA 13.7 or 13.8 the latter at least changed to blue again but the route bar is still missing. I tried everything including emptying the cache and uninstalling/reinstalling TomTom. All in vain.
I finally downgraded to AA version 13.3.645684 and everything works fine with this one, including the route bar. You might want to try it also, pending an update from either AA or TomTom that fixes this annoying problem.

Thanks! Good to know I'm not alone in this. Hopefully, one of them will fix it. While the downgrade sounds like a workaround, I always try to avoid that, as occasionally AA forces you to update to the newest version.

I have the feeling that the look and feel (e.g., colors and font) have changed recently in AA. Maybe this caused the issue?

Indeed, Google introduced the Material You design to AA with version 13.4, so I also suspect this could have caused the display issue. Anyway, we can only wait and hope the developers will solve this issue soon as the route bar is an essential feature that I don't want to miss.
