I mostly like CarPlay, but the navigation is the sticking point, not because the directions or metadata are bad, but because the search is so, so, so bad.
- haikuginger 9y agoI've rented cars with CarPlay before; I find that the ideal way to go about it is to do a location search as I'm walking to the car and start navigation; once I plug in the phone and enter CarPlay, it picks up seamlessly onscreen.
- Shivetya 9y agoAgree, getting to where you are going is much easier if you get into Apple Maps prior to engaging CarPlay. Recently I got trapped in a location that CarPlay would not let me out of but when I disconnected the phone from the car I could get back to entering my desired destination. I am not sure if UI elements went off screen or there is a bug/quirk when its active. However it selected a destination from ages for me when connected. I just find it odd than when I use CarPlay to play music the UI is actually worse than if I use the car's built in display to show what the phone/ipod is playing. It was like Atari 2600 vs modern display type differences
- atonse 9y agoThis is actually what I do. It works so well for text message interactions though (for me and my accent). I’ve had whole conversations with my wife only through Siri dictation and have come away mostly impressed.
- sbr464 9y agoAgree, search is basically unusable, (drive off the road, dangerous unusable!)I was surprised when recently started using on our new development Honda Civic.
