Hi, everyone.
Imagine you are in heavy traffic and you have 300 or 400 meters left to your destination. Traffic stops, and it's not going to move in a short time so you set the gear to P while waiting. As soon as you do that, Google Maps assumes that you have arrived & decided to park your car near your destination, tells you "Welcome" and stops navigating.
I don't know if anybody else noticed this, but I find this really uncalled-for & annoying. Don't get me wrong, I like automated features that make life easier but this is not one of them. I can stop the navigation myself, just by tapping on big X standing on the screen in front of me, I don't need any help there, and it's not helping, just interfering on the contrary.
Someone should explain Google Maps developers that setting the gear to P does not always mean that I have parked the car.
