- Google Maps is expected to introduce warning displays for ETC-only toll roads.
- An analysis of the app files from the Android version of the “Google Maps” app v26.35.00.969485213 update confirmed that resource code related to the warning display “Insert ETC card to take this route,” which prompts users to insert an ETC card when approaching an ETC-only toll road, has been added.
- However, since the resource code “CAR,” indicating the car operating system “Android Auto,” is attached, this warning display for ETC-only toll roads is expected to appear when using car navigation via “Android Auto.”
The “Google Maps” car navigation service is now widely used as a smart alternative to traditional car navigation systems.
However, despite its convenience, Google Maps navigation still has several imperfections. One of them is the handling of ETC-only roads.
Many owners of cars without an ETC card installed have likely found themselves in trouble after being directed onto an ETC-only road by Google Maps navigation. However, this issue may soon be resolved.
Google Maps is reportedly rolling out warning displays for ETC-only toll roads. We bring you the details in our original app file analysis report content, “App Analysis,” here on “Jetstream.”

An analysis of the app files from the Android version of the “Google Maps” app v26.35.00.969485213 update, released on Monday, August 24, 2026, confirmed that resource code related to the warning display “Insert ETC card to take this route”—which prompts drivers to insert an ETC card when approaching ETC-only toll roads—has been added. However, because it includes the resource code “CAR,” which designates the car operating system “Android Auto,” this ETC-only toll road warning display is expected to appear specifically when running car navigation via “Android Auto.”
<string name="CAR_ETC_ONLY_TOLLS_ROUTE_WARNING">Insert ETC card to take this route</string>Please note that the actual rollout of the ETC-only toll road warning display has not yet been confirmed.
