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

Wow is all I can say.

Wow.
it was a to b and i was being a little sarcastic. If you really think you're clever why dont you try me
I think Uber recommends it because they like to play with the route to maximize their share. It might not be the most efficient for you but it works in their favor.

I'll take Google over Uber maps.

Also Uber maps never used night mode unless I forced it in the settings. Super annoying. Google goes to night mode automatically. Android.

I dont know what that is. Havent done night yet. So much to learn if you havent used anything before.

Thanks
You'll get it eventually. I didn't even know it had a night mode until I searched for it here. The default is auto and it doesn't work.
right looks familiar. Thanksss
You can always use both. You can set over to use its own navigation system and turn off the sound, and then run maps or Waze in the background, pull them up, and put the address you're going to in verbally. I used to do that all the time, and choose the route that would make me the most money.

One of the features that I liked about Waze is that you can actually tap on the bottom bar and then on routes and adjust the route that you're taking according to what will give you the most miles and save you the most time. This sometimes changes halfway through your trip. Just make sure that you tell your passenger that there's traffic up ahead so you're checking for a faster route for them to get to their destination. I used to get tips specifically for doing this, and you cannot do it using Uber Maps.
