Any of you use the Here WeGo app on your smarffone? I've used it some on my Samsung S7, like it a lot but don't know what some of the map elements mean. For example, the lower right corner shows an icon of two cars and some number of minutes like "1min" or "0 min". I haven't seen enough correlation to the real world to conclude what that means. "Traffic 1 minute away" perhaps? Also small read circles with number in them on my programmed route. They could be police activity or obstructions like construction or a disabled car. Haven't seen enough to know. I haven't found any real documentation online.

Thanks.

Well, I think I figured out the red (not read) circles. I believe they are intersection numbers. I'm starting to like Here WeGo because they audio gets routed through bluetooth to the PCM whereas Google Drive instructions to not.

fwiw waze does the same thing with regard to audio. i have really come to love the little alerts it gives you such as police/accident/car on shoulder/pothole/roadkill 0.5 miles ahead!

I drove home with Google Maps/Driving yesterday. I started the phone apps before connecting the PCM via bluetooth. When I made the connection the phone gave a soft bell doodle and then the spoken instructions started coming out the car's speakers. I guess the order makes a difference, at least for those apps. I've never had it not work with Here WeGo. At least Here WeGo can sow a 3-d map view. Google doesn't seem to know how, or else I don't know how to make it do so.
