Hi,
I have Google Maps as my default navigation app in Android Auto.
When I plan a route with ABRP on my Mac, then send it to my phone (share - copy link - email), and then open the mail/click the link in my phone, ABRP opens Waze by default. I cannot change that. 
Same thing, when on the mobile ABRP site: Share -> google Maps links -> open - then it is Waze that opens. 
Why is this and how can I change it? I would like to have the default nav app in Android Auto to be the one that is opened through ABRP.
There is a workaround: copy the ABRP link, go to the mobile browser on my phone, paste the link - confirm you want to use the Google Maps app.
Thanks.
Herman

It seems you have Waze opening certain kinds of links by default, you can go into the Android Settings and make sure Waze isn't the default for anything:

Settings > Applications > Waze > Open by default > Clear defaults

Alternately, the way I like to do this is a little different:

  1. Plan on my computer and hit Save Plan
  2. Plug phone into Android Auto
  3. Open the Saved Plan
  4. Click Share > Share Next Step

This opens the first stop (charging location, planned break, whatever) in Google Maps (which is my default navigation app), and then both Google and ABRP are going to the same place, so I can use the Live Data mode to track my battery usage and give me arrival estimates and calibration.
