Carplay Maps auto zoom

How do I get maps to auto-zoom to the local view when following Siri navigating, rather than showing the entire journey? It used to automatically zoom in at a turn or junction, so I could see the layout of the road ahead. Now all I have is a four hour blue squiggle on a map of the country and an arrow telling me to turn, but I don't know where! It's driving me mad :-)

Hi Bajip,


We'll be happy to help out with being able to view your route details using Maps, since you should be able to zoom in. When using CarPlay and Maps, you can tap on the "+" to zoom the map in.


From the article Change the map view in CarPlay:

Find your location on a map, zoom in and out, and move the map to see the detail you need.
CarPlay showing icons for Maps, Podcasts, and Phone on the left, the map of a driving route on the right including zoom controls, turn directions, and estimated arrival information.
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.


After giving this a try, if you are still unable to zoom in, reach back out us.



Cheers!
