Android Auto first introduced weather apps with “Weather & Radar” last year, and now the app is getting new features, split-screen dashboard support, and more. The Weather & Radar app continues to improve to help you stay informed about the conditions while driving.
A big new update allows the app to be displayed on your dashboard along with other apps like Maps and music. Now you can easily check the weather without leaving your driving view. This “split-screen” feature lets you keep an eye on weather radars and forecasts while still seeing directions or controlling your tunes.
See Radars, Maps, and More Weather Details
The app also makes it easier to view radar maps and get more weather details at a glance. You can slide around on the radar map to see conditions around your area. New features like temperature radar and wind radar give you extra insights. Everything is optimized for driving so you stay updated without distractions.
Get Real-Time Weather Alerts While Driving
Keeping drivers safe is important. The updated app provides alerts for severe weather like heavy rain, storms, or other hazards. As long as the app is running, you’ll receive notifications of important watches or warnings near your route. The alerts help you prepare or find alternative routes if needed.
Customize Views, Scales, and More
There are also customization options to personalize your experience. You can set a default weather or radar view as your preference. Font sizes and map scales can now adjust based on your display. Android Automotive users get temperature and wind displays tailored to their region too.
The weather and radar upgrade rolled out recently. Give it a try on Android Auto to make staying informed about conditions easier and safer while on the road! The new split-screen support, maps, alerts, and customization options all work to enhance your driving experience.
