Android Automotive now has a new heads-up mini pane that indicates how far you have to travel, how long it will take and the estimated arrival time when navigating using Google Maps .

The change appears to have rolled out for Google Maps over the past few days .

While this is a nice touch, it can obscure some key Maps direction information when you are at the wheel.

It's a good safety feature that puts key information right where needed.
