doesn't seem to work with Android Auto, which is the primary way I use it.

I use HereWeGo. it has traffic and decent search and POI databases. plus it has offline mode.

both weather and whether. I mean they sound the same. also "w" and "th" sounds are hard to pronounce.

As a person who learned English as an adult, u can tell you that the word that gave me the most trouble early on was "weather". I mean these sounds are impossible!!
