keyboard not available google maps car play

Using car play in new Honda Odyssey. When google maps is used, if I try to type a destination, I frequently get “keyboard not available.” Sometimes it will eventually work if I keep trying, but not always. What’s happening?

iPhone 6, iOS 12

google maps not giving verbal directions in car I use google maps for navigation in my car. Recently it won't give verbal directions so I have to follow on the map. I have tried in in my house and once I click on start I immediately get verbal directions but this doesn't happen when I'm in the car. I've checked that maps doesn't somehow get muted or that the sound is on high. - Anyone got any ideas to fix this?

CarPlay issues-Alpine Apple Carplay gets laggy, eventually disconnects with error My Apple CarPlay gets laggy after some time while connected to the car. Touch inputs will take 5-10 seconds to be recognized and maps will stop updating the view. Eventually it will disconnect with an error "Unfortunately, com.ds.connectivity has stopped". When I notice the lag, toggling back to Alpine then back to CarPlay will get it to work again. I believe it has something to do with the maps, either Google or Apple, because if I leave an audio app on the screen it doesn't seem to happen. Any suggestions? I've tried power cycling everything, resetting carplay settings in both the Alpine and iPhone, updating firmware for the Alpine and IOS on my phone. Next step is to remove Google Maps and see what happens. Funny part is it only happens with the Alpine ILX407 in my Subaru, not the W650 in my pickup. Thanks!

The keyboard should not be available if the car is in motion. If it's happening when you're in park, contact Google. That's a Google product.
