Maps automatically zooms in during CarPlay navigation

If you are using Apple Maps to navigate it is designed to adjust the zoom level dynamically for your speed and need to clearly identify the route and upcoming turns. Other mapping apps (Google Maps, Waze, Tom-tom, Garmin, etc) all do this also.

Hi Andreas Bernhardt,

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We understand that you're having an issue with using Apple Maps with CarPlay. We'd like to help.

Does this issue with Apple Maps only happen when you're connected to CarPlay? Knowing if Maps looks the same when just using your iPhone, can help us isolate where the issue is coming from.

Then, check out these steps to see if they help with your specific situation: If you need help with CarPlay - Apple Support

1. Check your connection to your CarPlay stereo:

* If you have a wired connection, try connecting again with a different USB cable to a different USB port if you have one.

* If you have a wireless connection, make sure that Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are enabled under Settings > Wi-Fi and Settings > Bluetooth.

2. If CarPlay doesn't activate automatically, look for the CarPlay logo on your car's display.

3. Restart your iPhone and your car. 

4. Make sure that Siri is on.

5. If your iPhone isn't detected by CarPlay, make sure that CarPlay isn't restricted. Go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions, tap Allowed Apps and make sure that CarPlay is enabled.

6. Go to Settings > General > CarPlay, tap your car, then tap Forget This Car. Then set up CarPlay again.

7. Make sure that your CarPlay stereo is using the latest firmware from the car manufacturer. Check your car's manual for more information.

Let us know if that helps.

Cheers!
