To my disappointment, my wife's iPhone displays maps fullscreen, yet my Pixel6 Pro does not. Should it? I do admit, the Carplay map is nice.

There's a whole thread devoted to full-screen Android Auto (AA) on this forum.

https://www.macheforum.com/site/thr...droid-auto-which-update-initiated-this.20112/

Bottom line:
2022+ MME already have fullscreen AA.
Earlier builds of the MME -- like you and I -- are waiting for Ford to push OTA updates that will allow that, specifically Power-ups v3.0+

Editorial: Fullscreen AA is low-hanging fruit for vehicle programming. It's strictly a user interface update, obviously already worked out, on a device with very similar (if not identical) hardware specs in limited, relevant areas. We're not changing battery capacity, charge curves, braking, safety systems blah blah. It's a freaking screen area display subroutine, for goodness sakes. Just get it done already!
