When you go to the Google Play store this is what is displayed for "navigation"
Maybe that should be changed so that a person doesn't think that it is linked to the Beta version of Myroute-App?

I apologize for not having devoted enough time to have learned all there is to know about the new app. I get (thanks to you) that it is the old navigation app that was initially giving me difficulty. However, as you can see, it is not hard to imagine that this could be the "navigation" part of the new app. It is designated as "Beta" and I am identified as a beta tester. Even the icon is new (as compared to the "old" version hiding behind it.
All I am suggesting is that its appearance in the Google Play store be changed to reflect reality so that others do not make the same mistake I did. -

However, it can still be down to the developer to further allow you to test beta versions of the app. . You should also be able to withdraw yourself from being a beta tester for the old app from within the app within your 'Manage Apps' within the Play Store.
I am new to Android and learning these kind of things as I go along. This is very different to how iOS Test Flight works. -

This is “open testing” which happens directly in the Play StoreiOS manages Beta builds exclusively using a separate app store so to say: TestFlight.

I did not apply to be a beta tester for the "navigation" app. That was done by MyRoute.
My issue is NOT that I am a beta tester. The issue is the app is identified as the Beta version which is confusing/misleading if nothing else.Let's move on. There are some real issues that are keeping the Navigation portion from the app being acceptable. Especially in offline mode. Let's concentrate on that rather than my insignificant issue.
