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!
