Dude, where’s my ETA? Some Android Automotive users lose Google Maps feature (Update)
Volvo has brought Google Maps ETA information back to Android Automotive users.
- Some Android Automotive users are no longer seeing ETA on Google Maps.
- It appears the issue is specifically affecting owners of Volvo and Polestar vehicles.
- The problem seems to be linked to the latest firmware updates released by the EV makers.
Update: February 18, 2025 (12:05 PM ET): A spokesperson for Volvo has told Android Authority that ETA information in Google Maps has been reintroduced via a software update released last week.
Original article: February 11, 2025 (11:10 AM ET): If you’re an Android Automotive user and you’ve recently noticed a feature missing from Google Maps, you’re not alone. The estimated time of arrival (ETA) feature has disappeared for some after a recent update. While you may reflexively want to blame Google for this issue, it appears the blame falls elsewhere this time.
