Navigation State
Along with a turn-by-turn experience, Drop-In UI provides a comprehensive state transition leading you to active guidance. The guide below explains each of these navigation states.
Free Drive
This is the default starting state for Drop-In UI. Before a destination and route is established the Drop-In UI can power an experience that will map-match your location to the road network and provide information like Speed limits, Name of the street you are on, etc. Standalone components that would be prominently displayed in this mode would include:
