Describe the idea (required)

While navigating with Android Auto the ETA and distance that is displayed in the lower left of the navigation-screen refers to the final destination. In case the trip has intermediate points the ETA and distance being displayed there should refer to the next intermediate.

Tell us about the expected behaviour (required)

see idea.

Tell us about alternatives you've considered (required)

Workaround: don't use intermediates.

Context (optional)

#19096 implements this feature

@DmitryAlexei DmitryAlexei added this to the 4.7-android milestone Feb 16, 2024

This is really questionable... we need to think about it. It really depends on use case cause personally I need total distance instaed of intermediate...

sure - it's both a matter of personal preference and use-case. It 100% depends on why intermediates are being used. E.g. if one is using intermediates to enforce a specific route the distance to the next intermediate might be completely useless information.
As soon an intermediate is not just a coordinate to pass but an important destination to reach the eta and remaining distance to that intermediate becomes more important. E.g. driving a long distance with a BEV one needs to recharge regularly. For that one would add the planned charging-stations as intermediates. In this situation monitoring the remaining distance to the next charging-station is crucial. Because whenever the estimated range of your BEV is less then the remaining distance to the next planned charger you either must drive more slowly or re-plan your trip.
We need to discuss alternatives that cover both. To bad the NavigationTemplate only supports a single TravelEstimate. A short-term solution would be to make the feature configurable.
