Overview

• The experiment pins time, distance, and route details on screen so directions remain in view when users open other apps.
• Android Authority verified the feature’s appearance after an initial spot by a user on X.
• Availability is limited to select devices, and Google has not announced a rollout timetable.
• The implementation uses Android’s live‑update mechanism to prevent navigation info from slipping into the notification shade.
• Coverage indicates a phased test that could widen to more hardware, though broader access remains unconfirmed.
