maps not showing road detail in carplay

Ok I use either googlemaps or apple maps via carplay to get me to places. It has worked fine for years(well with the odd iphone bugs here and there). I don't use it often but somewhere around the ios14.8 update I've found it now offers me many routes but never actually shows me the road view so cant really tell which road to turn into when Im driving. I can see the turn by turn stuff in the little window but the rest of the screen is an overview of the different routes possible and this really isnt helpful. Siri, location services and data are all on and it definitely knows where I am but it just doesn't show me the driving view anymore and this makes it really awkward to drive to new places. What am I missing? my husband has the same issue with his car too so I assume something changed within settings on iphones but just dont know what. Help please!

iPhone 8, iOS 15

Hi there foolishperson13,


Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities!


Check out the details below for how to change the view on CarPlay:

When you follow turn-by-turn directions, you can tap the touchscreen or turn the rotary knob, then do one of the following:
-Switch between detailed and high-level views: To see a detailed 3D map with your heading at the top of the screen, select the Detail button. To see the route overview in 2D with north at the top of the screen, select the Overview button.
-Zoom in or out: Select the Zoom In button or the Zoom Out button.
-Scroll the map: Select the Scroll button, then select a direction arrow on one of the edges of the screen. To return to turn-by-turn directions, tap Resume.
On some touchscreens, you can also drag the map to scroll it.

This information can be found in Change the map view in CarPlay.


We hope this helps.
