Yesterday my iPhone 13 Pro started showing a message in Maps. "A route can't be shown because of a problem connecting to the server". This would go away after I start driving for awhile. It will also go away if I open Maps at home get the error message, close Maps and reopen it. My wife is also getting the same message with her iPhone 16 Pro.

By chance do you have a VPN installed on either iPhone? If yes, they cause connectivity issues and aren't needed unless required by a school or employer. If you have one, remove it in Settings > General > VPN & Device Management, remove any app, then restart your phones and see if the problem persists.

Sorry, misinterpreted your post. Lawrence is correct, WFI on the phone should be shut down when you connect to carplay.

Yes, you are still connected to your home Wifi as your photo shows. CarPlay typically works on cellular, by creating it's own ad-hoc Wifi network.
Might also be connected to the car’s Wi-Fi if that feature is enabled in the car infotainment system.
Obviously in the car you are using cellular. How about at home on the iPad?
No iPad. Using wifi at home. I believe it is still connected to home wifi when I get in my car.
