Did a very brief test of both Waze and Google Maps today. Both worked nicely. Waze especially handy with the traffic light camera warning.

Yes the crowd sourced warnings are handy for sure, cars on the side of the road, police active, radar, crashes etc.Originally Posted by dptiggie

I tried it out tonight for a few minutes. It appears to work well, the only complaint is that the speed limits seem to be in the top right corner and hidden by the next turn information

I used it 2 days in row (Waze) and its much better than the Apple Maps. The update did drop the speedometer from the display though

they seem to have fixed this in an update at some stage. speed info is now in top left.I tried it out tonight for a few minutes. It appears to work well, the only complaint is that the speed limits seem to be in the top right corner and hidden by the next turn information
all it needs now is school zone times added.

Yep, this does work now. The only thing I don’t think they can do thanks to apples rules is show the current speed. You still get audible alterts if you go too fast but it doesn’t show how fast you’re actually going which I always liked.
It’s also a bit of a shame they the iPhone and headinit have to display the same thing, so you can be running maps on the head unit and music on the phone screen. It’s one or the other on both.

Yeah it’s annoying. Waze shows current speed fine in IOS only.
Doesn’t show on my pioneer CarPlay headunit in work van or the B8 Passat.
Similar annoyance with the twin display thing. Phone can show turn by turn commands or traffic alerts and HU can display map. But not 2 different things like Spotify and maps etc.

And that’s pretty much my use case. Let me see music on the phone and maps on the head unit.

Carplay is great in my new Polo. Only thing that bugs me is that almost every time I plug the phone in I need to unplug and replug it in to get audio out for sound etc. System beeps and boops come through the car fine but if I want music or podcasts then you gotta remove it and try again. Really annoying. Doesn't happen with same phone in our Octavia
