Apple Maps and Google Maps freezing on CarPlay during navigation

Both maps applications freezing during navigation on my Honda. I see that a lot of people have the same issue no matter which manufacturer.

It freezes only when we set a destination and navigate. If there is no destination set then the map application does not freeze. So it has got something to do with GPS or Location, I dont know.

If you go back to the main menu of the stereo and click on Apple Carplay again it works fine for a few minutes but then freezes again.

This needs a sudden fix as this can make people lost or take wrong turns.

This is very important if you are passing through a region which is not familiar to you.

Can't expect clumsy behaviors like these from a $1000 phone.

iPhone 14, iOS 16

Discovered today that the issue is only with Google Maps and when we actually put a destination and then navigate. Earlier there was GoogleMaps navigation in the background while using Apple Maps, hence i thought the issue was there for Apple Maps as well. There is no freezing while using navigation in Apple Maps, Waze or even when using Google Maps without navigation. So it has got to be some issue with Google Maps and iOS communication.

The issue is with Apple car play. All maps Google, Apple, and waze are freezing after a few minutes of usage in most of the cars of different manufacturers. My friend facing the same issue in the Honda Jazz car and I'm facing it in the new-gen Maruti Brezza top modal. Our infotainment systems are OEM fitted. Android auto works without issue but ios cause map freezing issues. It could be an issue with iPhone 14 (pro max)devices. Apple needs to fix it asap.

We weren’t using any other navigation in our new subaru when google maps froze navigation. Used it all the way to Texas and back no issues until we upgraded his iPhone to ISO 16. So we went out not to long after and bam it was freezing. We only use one navigation. It is I believe ISO 16 but I am not a tech person. I wonder why an Apple support person had not chimmed in on these. Do they care?

Hi Rejath,


I completely get your frustration and I have this exact same issue. I have also written to Google today as this issue seems specific to Google Maps on iOS 16.(Apple maps works perfectly fine) Either Google or Apple has to come up with a bug fix. Most likely Google as it would be quicker than getting this with he next iOS update. In case you receive any response from either please post here. Meanwhile if I do I will keep this post updated too.


Thanks in advance!

May be true for developed countries. But in India Google Maps is 10x better than Apple. There are some roads that are not even marked in Apple Maps and its a newly built major road and like 2 months old. Also, the alternate routes shown by Google are not shown in Apple and Google is much more detailed.

This is about India I am not sure of other countries.
