Android Auto behaving weirdly with voice commands if you don’t use Google Maps? A fix is rolling out now

Recently, some Android Auto users have found that voice commands haven’t been working quite as they should, but it appears that a fix for the problem is arriving in an update now.

As reported by 9to5Google, the problem is that Android Auto was passing voice commands through to Google Maps only, rather than to a user’s preferred navigation app (such as Waze). If you already have a navigation app running, Google Assistant is supposed to send your Android Auto voice commands to that app (and if one isn’t running, they should go the one you last used).
