Does Android Auto in Graphene still require Google Maps to be installed, or is there a shim? If not, I wouldn’t be surprised if Calyx writes one, once they implement whatever black magic Graphene devs came up with to make AA work.
As a related example, Calyx has a Google Photos shim, so you can use other galleries with gcam. I just added Calyx’s f-droid repository, and use that with my Graphene install.
For now, I’m happy using my Mazda CX-5’s built in navigation with bluetooth audio. It’s nice enough to tile both side by side, and it’s less fiddly than AA. But my next car might not be as favorable, so I’m glad to have AA as an option.
With AA on GOS you have to use the sandboxed google play services, and it will use Google maps. There however may be a way to use a shim for other navigation platforms. I admittedly don’t have much further knowledge of how all of the AA, Play Services, or other services are integrated.
That’s unfortunate, Maps is near the top of the list of Google code I want nowhere near my phone. But now that the first domino has fallen, I’m sure folks are working on some de-googling.
I would love if the EU finds a way to force standardization of screen casting.

Completely understandable. It does route location through GrapheneOS location provider, as well as geocoding I believe.
