Just a heads up the update for Waze is now available in the App Store to enable it for use on CarPlay!

Thanks. Just seen it.

I’ll try it out tomorrow and see how it compares vs GM. Can’t be a worse iteration of Waze vs how poor GM is on CarPlay.

Well Waze on CarPlay is much better than Google Maps on carplay.

They’ve obviously put more into their conversion and it’s quite good.

I’d like to see in future developments

Speed limits and current speed (speed limit is ‘hidden’ behind guidance box
Proper integration with Siri voice
‘Night’ colours like the app
Add stop along route is fine if you input an actual address/actual place but not very good if you ask for a coffee shop along route.

Much better than AM or GM on CarPlay though.

PS - apparently TomTom Go is coming to CarPlay early 2019

Agreed.

For clarity, night colours does work if you select ‘Night’ on your phone. What doesn’t work for me is ‘Auto’. It leaves it in Day colours all the time.

I’d have to disagree here, waze on CarPlay is really clunky (at best) and leaves a massive amount to be desired - really disappointed me when unused it yesterday for Norwich to Newcastle - actually gave up with it after about 180miles as the interface was so poor

Apple Maps in terms of CarPlay usability and interactivity is light years ahead of this.

Ah, I don’t disagree that AM on CarPlay is MUCH more integrated and better to use. The only issue with it is it’s not very good at routing or knowing exactly where POI’s are.

GM on CarPlay is a joke.

Waze is better better but still far from seem less but in my opinion, the routes and knowing where POi’s are make it better on CP. and it will only get better as it develops.

Anybody have android auto working via Bluetooth or is it USB lead only?
( my Pioneer won't recognise a USB-C lead)
