    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

      On Google maps:

      Press the little x to stop navigation. Press the play button again to resume from your current position

        No, the X stops that navigation session entirely, and that’s not what I’m looking for. Depending on where you are going, how many stops you have loaded, etc, you may not be able to easily start a new session. Breaking up the session also messes up any details about the overall trip, if anyone is trying to gather that.

        Google Maps does have this function for Android Auto, so I’m not sure why the mobile Maps doesn’t.

      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.

    Never understood men who keep their wallet or phone in a back pocket.

      Wallet makes sense in the back pocket. It’s been kind of the default for generations so much it’s a comedic point in TV Shows and movies at times. They’re generally malleable and an easy place to grab, for better or worse.

      Phone on the other hand, I don’t get either. They’re rigid and can break quite easily if sat on. 🤷‍♂️

      I keep my wallet in my back pocket because then if someone wanted to steal it they’d have to touch my butt thus making them gay.

      Checkmate, liberals.

      It’s uncomfortable to walk up stairs and uphill when my phone is in my front pocket. Plus the movement to get it out from my back pocket is so much swifter.

      Everyone here putting their stuff in their pants’ pockets… anyone here who just wears a belt bag everywhere instead?
