- bigyabai 1y agoGNOME Maps is good enough for me. I don't know what Carplay is and at this point I'd rather not ask.
- m4tthumphrey 1y agoFramework for using your cars infotainment system as your screen/input device. Android has something similar called Android Auto.

- jraph 1y agoDon't car play and android auto rely on proprietary libraries? I doubt it will come to Linux phones unless they take off or something like microg reimplements the proprietary parts.
- Gabrys1 1y agoThere are boxes you plug to your CarPlay enabled car that run Android. Run Google Maps on that and you're golden. No need to carry/connect your phone to the car anymore
- non-nil 1y agoI don't think you mean a wired-to-wireless dongle, which is all my searches turn up. Can you give me an example of such a device?
- Gabrys1 1y agoOh, there's plenty of these, here's just one example: https://www.amazon.com/ATOTOOUT-Magic-Box-Built-Bluetooth/dp/B0F9389PDY https://www.amazon.com/ATOTOOUT-Magic-Box-Built-Bluetooth/dp...
- non-nil 1y agoThanks! What a fantastic keyword salad that product serves up. Not cheap, but then again why should a magic AI box be cheap?
