Can we please get a "pause" button in navigation apps?

I don't need to be yelled at to make a u-turn every 5 seconds just because I got off the freeway to get gas.

[-] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

Mine has a mute

[-] varyingExpertise@feddit.org 4 points 6 hours ago

I've mapped a quick access button on my steering wheel to "toggle navigation mute/unmute". Best experience so far. Thanks to the engineer that decided to put that button there instead of a blank (when ordered without heated steering wheel).

[-] WolfLink@sh.itjust.works 7 points 16 hours ago

There is but you have to actually go manually press it, which is generally more interaction with a phone than you should do while driving.

[-] T156@lemmy.world 8 points 15 hours ago

Not for most of them. All the ones I've used will let you turn off/stop the navigation, but not pause it. The closest you can get is turning the volume off.

[-] WolfLink@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 hours ago

Well the app I use (recent versions of Apple Maps) does have pause as an option.

Or the constant "duh dun" noise as it's recalculating the route while you're driving around the station trying to find an open pump

[-] TriflingToad@lemmy.world 0 points 21 hours ago

I REALLY wish you could make it the meme Nuh Uh sound effect

[-] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 day ago

On Google maps:

Press the little x to stop navigation. Press the play button again to resume from your current position

[-] Tower@lemm.ee 11 points 19 hours ago

No, the X stops that navigation session entirely, and that's not what I'm looking for. Depending on where you are going, how many stops you have loaded, etc, you may not be able to easily start a new session. Breaking up the session also messes up any details about the overall trip, if anyone is trying to gather that.

Google Maps does have this function for Android Auto, so I'm not sure why the mobile Maps doesn't.

Yeah folks just don't know how to use what they have

[-] LodeMike@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago

There is on most apps

Never understood men who keep their wallet or phone in a back pocket.

[-] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 14 points 21 hours ago

I keep my wallet in my back pocket because then if someone wanted to steal it they'd have to touch my butt thus making them gay.

Checkmate, liberals.

[-] QueerQuery@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 23 hours ago

Most front pockets on women's pants are too small unless it's the dreaded fake pocket (Curse you cute pair of jeans!). Thus usually in my back pocket while walking and not in use. It is removed when sitting though.

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 6 points 12 hours ago

They did mention men specifically. Unless you mean you're a man using women's pants, in which case, fair enough.

[-] techwithjake@lemm.ee 32 points 1 day ago

Wallet makes sense in the back pocket. It's been kind of the default for generations so much it's a comedic point in TV Shows and movies at times. They're generally malleable and an easy place to grab, for better or worse.

Phone on the other hand, I don't get either. They're rigid and can break quite easily if sat on. 🤷‍♂️

[-] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 36 points 1 day ago

Wallet in back pocket = back pain. It’s pressing on your sciatica. Keep it in your front pocket, or get cargo pants.

[-] GBU_28@lemm.ee 5 points 21 hours ago

Anecdotal. I keep a trim wallet and have never had back pain.

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 1 points 7 hours ago

I usually declutter my wallet after it hits the three pound level .... or the leather explodes.

[-] noodlejetski@lemm.ee 13 points 1 day ago

*sciatic nerve. "sciatica" is the kind of pain caused by compression of the nerve.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

..is this a humble brag about how heavy your wallet is from all your gold doubloons? 🤨

[-] techwithjake@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

I agree. I was just stating "it makes sense". Small wallet for the front pocket. Can't always wear cargo lol

[-] fishbone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 21 hours ago

Can't always wear cargo lol

Not with that attitude.

[-] techwithjake@lemm.ee 1 points 20 hours ago

🤣 working towards that goal tho!

[-] Geometrinen_Gepardi@sopuli.xyz 20 points 1 day ago

I'd go crazy if I had to sit with a lump under one ass cheek.

[-] M137@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

First world problems. "My wallet is so thick that I call it a lump".

[-] Nelots@lemm.ee 1 points 22 hours ago

My empty wallet is still a lump.

[-] GBU_28@lemm.ee -1 points 21 hours ago

? My "wealth" such as it is is 2 credit cards, a debit card, and an id. If you're carrying around every card you have, you have no plan. Figure out your spending to maximize credit card points. Why would I have my travel credit card with me in the grocery store? I'd have my everyday points card.

[-] raynethackery@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago

Don't you ever just get the urge to keep on driving and never go back?

[-] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

I love this comment

[-] GBU_28@lemm.ee 1 points 15 hours ago
[-] techwithjake@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

Don't disagree. Small wallet for front pocket is my go to. Just was saying "it makes sense".

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

Wallet in the back pocket has cost me nearly 6-figures in medical bills for back pain over the years.

[-] Crazyslinkz@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

I just take the phone out when I sit.

[-] techwithjake@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

I'm crazy forgetful. I'd 100% break it in my back pocket lol

[-] DannyBoy@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I kept my phone in my back pocket when I was a teen until a rivet shattered the screen when I sat down.

[-] ItzzMe@midwest.social 2 points 1 day ago

Everyone here putting their stuff in their pants’ pockets… anyone here who just wears a belt bag everywhere instead?

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 2 points 12 hours ago

Zoomies did that for a while, still see a lot of immigrant kids sporting that look.

It's uncomfortable to walk up stairs and uphill when my phone is in my front pocket. Plus the movement to get it out from my back pocket is so much swifter.
