You’ll have to excuse me as I don’t have a car with Apple CarPlay but can’t you just use Google Maps with an iPhone in preference to Apple Maps?
At least that’s the case for normal iOS use.
- mrep 9y agoApple carplay and android auto allow you to view windows displayed by your phone on your car screen. While I can use google maps with it and get the voice directions, it does not support displaying the map on my car screen for google maps, only apple maps. I want to be able to quickly look at the physical map on the big screen in my car while driving like so: https://www.google.com/search?q=android+auto+maps&tbm=isch&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjH-o-RqPTaAhXmxVQKHcqdDwEQ_AUICygC&biw=1440&bih=776&dpr=2 https://www.google.com/search?q=android+auto+maps&tbm=isch&s...
- Lio 9y agoYuck. That's a perfect example of Apple making decisions for its benefit instead of its customers. I feel the same way about iCloud vs third party storage services for things like photo syncing. :(
- kalleboo 9y agoCarPlay does not let you use any maps app aside from Apple Maps. Which is a dealbreaker since where I live Apple Maps are terrible (and Google Maps aren't great either, I use a local mapping app)
