Lost Google Maps’ big navigation upgrade? Your new Pixel 11 might be to blame
Immersive Navigation is missing for some.
Google Maps has seemingly lost one of its key features, Immersive Navigation, for some Pixel 11 users who upgraded from older Pixel devices. The navigation upgrade that Google touts as a major enhancement appears to have been lost in the transition. The problem seems to be controlled on the server-side, meaning users cannot simply restore the feature via an app update or settings change.
Google has acknowledged the reports but has not confirmed the cause or timeline for a fix. While purchasing a new Pixel 11 device should not result in a degraded experience, that appears to be precisely what is happening with Google Maps for affected users.
