With iOS 12 out, third-party navigation apps are supported in CarPlay. We go hands-on with Google Maps — the first to support it.

Was all for it until you said SIRI doesn’t work with it. I use SIRI all the time to get last minute directions while driving. SIRI has become very important to me while driving allowing me to stay in contact with friends and family while staying safe.
In my opinion I like Google maps rather Apple.. Apple maps likes to direct me threw unnecessary streets or takes me in circles…
google maps is total crap…. it gives me wrong directions, the voice is awful, has no siri integration, the lane guidance is rubbish, has no speed limits, its animation is choppy, like a 2008 GPS, I thought I would never say this, but apple maps is way better !
Never heard of waze until now
Thankyou Kermit!
Why is the app dock and home button on the wrong side in the US?
Carbridge for apple carplay its the best way to use apple carplay ….
oh car pay for 1200 dollars for Apple Map
Google maps interrupted Audio playback for SiriusXM and iTunes and there was no option to add a stop.
My 2016 Honda Accord just got a whole lot more high-tech with Google Satellite imagery!
Apple Maps is pretty good as long as you stay within cellular coverage, and/or have a route chosen (tiles around the route are cached.) Google Maps lets you download an area so you will not lose map coverage once outside of cell coverage, regardless of route chosen. I am hoping that GaiaGPS will start supporting carplay, since it is my #1 offroading/overlanding app when hitting the cell-less boonies.
The keyboard doesn’t seem to work for manually entering a location in my Honda Civic. Other than that it seem ok.
I have once again deleted Apple Maps off my phone! Car Play made me give Apple maps a serious try and it was bad. It consistently gave bad directions in my area, particularly at the final approach to destinations. It would suggest entries to locations that were not physically possible. Glad to have more options now.
What I’d really like to see is Weather Radar!
Google maps in carplay already works with offline maps and directions. I tested it.
I’ve always been an apple maps guy although I have google maps on my phone.
I tried google maps with CarPlay the other day. I don’t see the big attraction to google maps. Especially since it doesn’t have voice control like apple maps does. I’ll stick to using apple maps or the GM built in navigation.
I still like my Parrot Asteroid Smart; swipe controls and integrated uses. I use it alongside an Ipad on a magnetic mount.
Google maps in Apple car play on 2018 Honda Accord EX does not present the map the same as yours does when you select north up. When I select north up the map does orientate itself North but as I’m driving the Avatar moves left or right on the screen depending if I’m going east or west. So what’s up with that?. My Garman’s north up on my standalone GPS has a true North up routing like what you demonstrated. Is there a way to fix my issue?
Controversial but I haven’t actually found it to be as good as Apple Maps; and pre-CarPlay, I was almost exclusively using Google Maps.
Some of the UI looks clunky on the screen, some elements feel really inconsistent and I don’t think Google’s choice to use that mucky green background was a great one. Same goes for the random usage of green in other parts of the UI.
I also wonder how much the satellite view will smash through your data.
Looking forward to seeing how well Waze works in CarPlay…
Sygic Maps and google maps
Glad to see you demonstrate Google Maps on Ford Escape! Good vehicle!
Google Maps in CarPlay looks fugly. What’s up with those weirdo fonts for street names and even more weird angles at which these names are printed? Not having Siri is very bad, it defeats one of the great advantages of CarPlay, which is hands free operation. Finally, on my CarPlay Google Maps mike does not work, I can activate the button, but it ignores anything I say, like it can not hear me. On phone itself mike in google maps work fine, so I’m not sure if it’s a bug with the software or some setting that I did not activate.
WAZE hurry up, I was looking so forward to seeing it on car play this morning after seeing it used in the beta versions of IOS12 and nothing…………. just google maps…..
avaliable in india
Some things still need some work, hopefully some fixes are in store with a future update. There’s no night mode. Multi-trips are not optimized: It works fine on the phone app. But, once you’ve gone past your first stop and try to go to your next, it doesn’t ask you to continue. It will try to get you back to that first stop. Voice guidance is really low quality.
How come third-party navigation apps weren’t supported by CarPlay until the release of iOS 12?
Can we use offline data of google maps in carplay?
Google Maps has offline maps – no need to wait for that feature.
TomTom is also going to support Apple CarPlay in a couple of months!
Carplay Google maps doesn’t have a night mode and it blinds me while driving at night. It’s a bummer because i was really looking forward to it.
What about tom tom gps app?
It’s a bit disappointing that it doesn’t allow you to make a phone call to the business you find on the map
Google photographs your house and puts it on the internet without your permission, lets hundreds of companies read your email without your permission. Google steals data and sells it. See a pattern yet? Google plays fast and loose with, not just people’s information, but our personal and private information. Google is a morally corrupt company and all it’s users are complicit.
Finally, and I love it. My CarPlay is amazing and now I have choices of Apple Maps or Google Maps.PEFECT!
I’ve been using it and it’s brilliant. I don’t think I can ever go back to Apple maps
Tried Carplay Google maps on my Audi and noticed the satellite maps are really old – passed buildings in Madison, WI that are at least 5 years old and the maps still show it as corn fields.
