Our app is going to support Android Auto. We have a navigation button on car screen. When user press that button, we want to open Google Map directly for navigation (on car screen, not on app).

Here's my code:

val uri = Uri.parse("geo:0,0?q=${latitude},${longitude}(${name})")
val intent = Intent(CarContext.ACTION_NAVIGATE, uri)
intent.setPackage("com.google.android.apps.maps")
carContext.startCarApp(intent)

Now when I have other app can handle this intent, such as the navigation app or showcase app of android auto sample project, it will start navigation with other apps sometimes.

Does anyone know how to explicitly open Google Map for navigation on car screen?

You could create your intent like this instead (note the URI difference):

val uri = Uri.parse("google.navigation:q=${latitude},${longitude}")
val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri)
