Turn off traffic layer in Google Maps app?

Hi everyone.
After one of the recent updates to Google Maps on my Android the traffic layer is turned on by default so every time I open the app I see the different colors for traffic congestion. I know how to turn it off manually but I have to do it every time I open the app. It didn't use to be like that. It used to be off by default.
Is there any way to turn off the traffic layer by default so it's not on when I start the app?
Thank you.
Would like to disable it too.

Activate Android P Rotation Suggestion Using Voice

Android P has added the "rotation suggestion" feature which can show up on the navigation bar when the rotation lock is enabled. I'm trying to figure out the simplest way to "activate" this button using voice command, whether that be using the Google Assistant or similar mechanism. I am not averse to writing some code to do so but again I'm trying to keep this as simple as possible.

Shortcut for the default Google voice search (white circle with microphone)

I'm wondering how to get a shortcut for the default Google assistant on a tablet being used in my dad's car.
We are currently using this car launcher, which has the assistant icon on the homescreen. See here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...nits/customized-car-launcher-apk-bmw-t3652086
I'm trying to re program a button on his steering wheel to have the tablet open that assistant app & wait for a voice command but that shortcut doesn't show up in his list of apps.
Maybe there is another app I can use? What app instantly pauses the music & waits for a voice command?

Question Notifications in calendar based on location

Hey guys.
Ist there a way to activate notifications (google calendar reminders) based on location ?
Let's say I wanna make sure I lock my car, when I get close to home or my office I'll get a notification "close car"...
Only thing I see on Google is to use Google keep, but since I wanna do this with daily tasks google calendars task or reminders are ideal...
Would love not to use a third party app

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Use Routines and Modes....in Settings.
Go to Settings.
Goto Modes and Routines.
Tap the + icon.
Tap the + under if.
Tap Place.
Choose either Arrive....or leave.
Choose your location.
Save.
Then the + under Then.
Tap Notifications.
Tap show Custom notification.
Give the notification a title.
Write whatever you wish.
You can even have it read this notification out.
Modes and Routines is very good...and you can use it to do almost anything on your phone.
It will open calender...but my instructions were to give you a notification on reaching your home location....because that would be better than opening a calender for that purpose.
