Apple Carplay: Turning on traffic alerts for Apple Maps without route guidance set

Hey all

Is there any way I can have traffic alerts warning me while driving without having the GPS set to a destination?


I.e. I’ll be driving with no navigation set and receive the “speed camera” and “red light camera” alerts.


I noticed apps like Waze do this but much prefer the Apple Maps UI and voice.

Traffic alerts in Apple Maps are typically triggered when you have an active navigation route and the app detects traffic conditions along the way.
