    Can we please get a “pause” button in navigation apps?

    I don’t need to be yelled at to make a u-turn every 5 seconds just because I got off the freeway to get gas.

      Or the constant “duh dun” noise as it’s recalculating the route while you’re driving around the station trying to find an open pump

      There is but you have to actually go manually press it, which is generally more interaction with a phone than you should do while driving.

        Not for most of them. All the ones I’ve used will let you turn off/stop the navigation, but not pause it. The closest you can get is turning the volume off.

      I’ve mapped a quick access button on my steering wheel to “toggle navigation mute/unmute”. Best experience so far. Thanks to the engineer that decided to put that button there instead of a blank (when ordered without heated steering wheel).
