Carplay Google Maps & Waze

[Sam Lawson]

The wait is over...!



Google Maps is now supported by CarPlay! After months of tearing my hair out attempting to get a decent Nav head unit. Now i can just use this.. and not rely on Apple Maps to take me to the shops via Scotland.

Waze is also due to be released onto CarPlay very soon!

Finally

I’m hoping Navmii make their app CarPlay compatible, far superior graphics to Google/Waze and Apple and fewer ambiguous instructions

Does it just come up on screen or have you to do something ?

Make sure you've updated your iPhone to iOS 12 and update your Apps to get the latest version of Google Maps, and it just comes up on the screen.

Cheers, will give it a try

I assume they would, for the sake of keeping their product alive they'll need to keep up with technologies or be left behind. Tho right now their website has been hacked, so not a good start.

Has ios12 caused any issues ? Just wanted to ask before I click download. When I updated my phone to ios11 it was utter garbage for a little while
