On: GM plans to phase out Apple CarPlay in EVs, with Google's help

CarPlay is awesome, but I found the lack of being able to use maps very restricting. If you’re driving with someone who is co-piloting then them being able to use your phone to scout ahead for stops, restaurants etc is really useful.

We ended up using Google Maps for this while navigating with Apple Maps.

It's strange to me that Apple Maps is the only app I know of that works this way.

Yeah or they can just use their own phone

Not sure how juggling two phones, then having to manually copy addresses with potentially foreign characters between them is better.

No, just let me view the damn map on my phone and the car display?
