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 false. This is Apple fault. Apple don't allow 3rd party navigation apps on CarPlay.

Apple allow only Audio Apps, Messaging and VoIP Apps and Automaker Apps. N
