Apple CarPlay Navigation Preference
Hello F8X Owners!
Wanted to get a general consensus of what everyones favorite navigation app is to use with Carplay? Waze? Due to the Police notifications + Radar Detector it seems the safest and most functional. Google Maps? I feel is the close competitor with the seamless turn by turn. Curious if Apple Maps is being used as by many as well. |

Late to this, but I actually prefer the BMW Nav. Two reasons: 1) I like how the scroll wheel instantly zooms the view in and out, and 2) full screen. I know I can have full screen CarPlay coded, and believe me I’ve been giving it consideration.

While Google Maps isn't "community based" I have started to notice heads up notifications while using it. Personal preference... Waze + Uniden R7 + AL Priority |

IMO, I prefer BMW Navi because of HUD integration and when I press the voice button I can just be like "Drive to Wholefoods in Pasadena". When apple carplay is on, it doesn't work with google maps but it works with Apple maps with Siri. Plus, I don't like needing to press the map button a few times to jump between BMW Navi and Carplay. Another thing that is annoying to me is that in Apple Carplay, zooming in and out is not an easy task, cannot just roll the wheel like in BMW Navi. When I am going to an unknown place, I like to know any weird freeway ramps or immediate off ramps I need to take.
