There are way too many floating buttons. I suggest incorporating them in the bottom bar.

Also how it will look in landscape mode, which is also very popular while driving? The height is VERY important for landscape for better UX, and can't be consumed for some rarely used buttons.

Do you have any idea how to fit them into smaller screens, and still have them clickable with ONE click? Because if you are driving, it's really annoying and dangerous to do even one click, not talking about 2 or more. Also how it will look in landscape mode, which is also very popular while driving?

Maybe hiding icons via single tap, like in non-navigating map view.

But that requires two clicks to engage.

I really don't understand the need for a bookmarks and search button during navigation. In my opinion those buttons should be removed. No other maps app has something like that. The button in the bottom right does serve a function, however.

They are needed to quickly add a stop: find a gas, stop at some previously saved place. When you are driving, you can't easily use the app and you need some quick and easy ways to do that. The UX and UI should be better, but as a temporary solution, it's better than nothing.
