Carplay, Apple Maps and Waze

Just bought a Mercedes GLA with AppleCarplay.



I was so excited to at last plug my Iphone to run my favorite apps on my dashboard. My enthousiasm melt like a bucket of icecream trowed in a supernova when carplay forced me to use Apple Maps for navigation (and didn't let me look at my agenda but this is another story).



I took a deep breath and tought to myself "Surely, Apple Maps can't be as bad". But after two weeks of giving Apple Maps a chance : I'm sorry, it really really is far away from Waze or google maps. I had to get back to my stupid Iphone holder suck to my window (wich was the reason I moved to carplay and changed my car)



It is so important to me that I must say goodbye to 10+years with Iphone and switch to Android.



Dear Apple, I'm sure I'm not alone. Let me use Waze or at least Google Maps. Of fix Apple Maps but I don't think that could work.



Will you do something about this fast? (Like before Pixel 2 is out in two days and I fell I will be rushing to it)



Warm regards

This is a stupid strategy, Apple, so come on and move ahead! Let us use Waze or Google Maps in Apple Carplay!
