I am new to Uber and the other day i had some trips and I pressed navigation. i was already being directed and after awhile the direction arrows and metres left went away . And i got messed up. What does the navigation button do and why did the arrows go away?

Thanks

Like Uber Crack said, you can change your default navigation settings in the Uber app. I have mine set to Waze. On my phone (Android) this is how it works: After I hit accept/start trip, the Uber app will automatically show its own navigation to the riders location/destination. If I hit the navigation button it will open Waze in a new window and automatically enter the address shown in the Uber app into Waze. It should work the same if you set Google Maps as default. I don't know what the navigation button does if you set Uber nav as default.
Perhaps you have to first download waze and have it in your phone Idk. I'm just a Google girl :) if I didn't have it I wouldn't be able to uber. I don't get along with the uber nav. I tied waze a while ago but couldn't dig it though lots of people love it :rolleyes:
AFAIK neither Google Maps or Waze will show up unless they're in the phone already.
