If you're not experiencing issues with the beta, you can ignore this advice. However, if you're having trouble with Google Maps crashing on Android Auto, this might be the solution you're looking for.

Google Maps recently made a change to its UI on Android Auto, which didn't go over well with users. The company has since reverted to the previous layout, which is an improvement.

Before the change, the driver's location marker was positioned relative to the app's interface elements. After the change, it was centered on the actual screen of the car's display, pushing other elements to the edges. This made the map harder to use for many drivers.

A server-side update rolled back the change on February 3, restoring the previous layout. This update improved map utilization on all screen sizes and returned right-aligned UI elements when not navigating.

If you're experiencing issues with the new layout, you might want to wait for the rollback to be phased in. If you're using a screen size larger than 10 inches, you might not have noticed much of an impact. However, if you're using a 7-8 inch display, you'll likely benefit from the reversal.
