Move to New Zealand's best fibre broadband service (affiliate link). Note that to use Quic Broadband you must be comfortable with configuring your own router.

You will see this icon.

I got the new version this afternoon, the only Google apps that updated between this morning and the new maps were YouTube and Google Meet.

Google Maps did update yesterday, but I connected it at least twice without seeing any change to Android Auto (last update 18 Jan).

Enjoying it so far.

Off topic, but also liking home assistant on Android Auto, will be good once it's a bit more user friendly.

I find the weather app also haven't updated yet for me, so no radar overlay that they were talking off

That's cool.  I could see value in turning the heating on while I'm driving home.

Anyone know how to make coolwalk open Google maps like it did before upgrading? Now it's opening my cars maps instead and I have to manually switch it each time, which is hell annoying.
