Google map in bicycle mode worked great for me. :crap2:
After a while, I didn't need it.

PS. You don't need internet when you drive. Just download the map area beforehand and turn on gps when you are driving. :pepper2:

Just an FYI... I did some testing and bicycle mode is NOT available when using Google Maps on Android Auto. It is only available when using Google Maps on your phone where the actual app is running.

This makes sense, since Android Auto was designed for... an Auto!

Probably should avoid driving your auto on the MMPs and bicycle paths anyway.

EDIT: I misunderstood this statement. If the functionality of google maps is modified to remove bicycle mode when used with Android Auto or Apple Carplay then it would make this unusable for golf carts.

I'm sure you were just trying to be funny, but just in case - Many of the new golf carts are now coming with Android Auto and Apple Carplay on them... it would be nice to have a Villages cart GPS and a golf course GPS available for use on the large screens that these carts provide right in front of you.

I misunderstood. I will edit my post above.

If Android Auto (or Apple Carplay) disables functions of the apps it mirrors, such as disabling bicycle mode for google maps, then yes, that would be a problem.
