Google maps keeps opening to navigation randomly

[hideous]

For a couple weeks now after I navigate to somewhere and then end navigation, the application opens again randomly and tries to resume navigation. I have tried to clear it out of the recent apps list as well as force closing the app. After a force it will not reopen until I start the maps application again. Once the maps app is opened it will resume randomly opening.

I am on the Nexus 6p, running 7.1.1 with the January patches. This problem also happened with the December patches.

Maps Version 9.44.3

It just started happening to me this morning. I'm on the 5X and the latest patch. Damn this is really annoying. Any ideas?

Install task killer app from play store
In app, go to settings>ignored apps
Add all apps to ignore list except google maps
Now again go to settings>auto kill
And set it to 15 sec
Done
Also push the thanks button if I helped

Same thing here on a 6p but marshmallow. Driving me a little nuts

Been noticing the same thing for the last few days or so.

*me too*

On Nexus 5 marshmallow. Noticed it for the past 2-3 days or so.

same problem on Nexus 6p

 

[skiinginstead]

same here on nexus 6p. It is starting to get unusable as it starts shouting directions from my pocket randomnly or it boots me from whatever app I am using on the phone.

Same issue here on a Nexus 5 with 6.0.1. I think it started when I used Google Now to start navigating.

I'm having the same problem on my Moto X (2013) Developer Edition (and rooted) with the Resurrection Remix ROM. It's been happening for about a week now. It seems to be completely random as to when it starts up.

Yeah this happens for me too, on Nexus 6P on 7.1.1.

I'm wondering if it's really a Google Now issue though as I use voice actions to start navigation a lot, and the random navigations all seem to repeat the last voice navigation. Maybe Google Now sends the previous navigation intent to Google Maps.

I'm using beta version of the Google app.

Do other people here use Google Now to start navigation?

Same issue for a few weeks here on my Galaxy S7. I reboot and it goes away for a few days, but keeps coming back.

I agree that it seems to be voice search. I'm not 100%, but I've had a suspicion.

Also using Google Now Launcher.

Good call, this makes sense. I use Google Now Launcher as well.

Ermagherd this is SO annoying. I also use voice navigation a lot. OnePlus 3 here .

Me too, Moto X, been doing it a couple of weeks. My phone will be sitting on the desk next to me with its screen off and suddenly it's trying to tell me how to get to the last page I navigated to.. often wherever I already am.. I use Google now all the time, will keep an eye on if that makes a difference..

 

[snoopac19]

It might well be the Google now launcher thing.
I had it launch on its own again after ending a navigation that I had started with 'ok Google'.
It launched itself again.
Then I stopped the navigation, and did the task switcher thing and swiped to close the Google now window as well. After that it didn't launch again.

That was just one try. So no real confirmation. But maybe this can be a workaround until this is fixed.

Same thing (maps entering navigation mode at random times) has recently started happening to me. Really frustrating.

Like suggested by JamesChao, I always start navigating using voice.

It's definitely an issue with Google Now voice search. Rather than killing a process, you can temporarily resolve this issue by either performing another voice search, or clicking the Google Now search bar on your homescreen and performing any other search. Obviously the issue will return next time you do another "Navigate" voice command.

Moto X 2015 latest updates checking in, same issue, i concur that its a Google Now issue.

 

[ianmelchior]

Same - LG G4 Android 6.0

I have the same issue and have for about the last month.

Same problem here, nexus 5x. See that there's a software update, hopefully this'll fix te problem. Solution mentioned above seems to be working for now, but still annoying.
