Everything works in Apple CarPlay except navigation apps

No it’s not, I have iPhone 7 and it plays up. Yesterday it had me moving sideways on the car screen while the arrow was pointing up. My wife has an iPhone 6 and it’s always placing her in the middle of nowhere while navigating

seems like Apple issue given that my issue is with an Acura and yours is BMW - and I have seen many car brands on this forum? My frustration also is I didn’t have this until this week - when I had to restore my iPhone given other issues - then this issue came about. Apple has no fix?

Questions:

• Could it be that this is your first "long" use of Waze on the car?
• Was your phone pancake baking hot when the issue happened?
• Did the problem go away when you let the car/phone rest for more tnan 30 minutes?

Let's hope they do know about us and IOS13 solves the issue. The final release should be around mid September going by previous IOS releases.

If Apple works around the issue it will only be by somehow detecting incorrect position/speed information fed it by your car, and I'm not aware of how it would do that on any kind of reasonable basis.

To revert to using the device's own location data would be violating their own guidelines.

The better question is why disparate head ends seem to be providing incorrect location data when so many others are able to get it right.

I have the same problem, BMW G20 3 series with wireless carplay. When I start navigating it works ok for 30 minutes or so, then location goes crazy.

Note that wireless CarPlay is required to use the data provided by your car.

If you quite your navigation app and restart it, does it "see" the correct location and lose it over the course of a drive?

I just used my XS Max for several multi-hour drives and did not experience what you did using wired CarPlay in a 2019 Dodge Challenger R/T.

It has my correct location when I start app - but in middle of drive it doesn’t note me turning or even moving - waze arrow actually disappears and becomes a dot - so it loses me - and then eventually finds me. I switch to google maps and that one had me driving the opposite way on map. This doesn’t always happen - but when it does it makes Apple CarPlay useless and I switch back to using app without CarPlay - which sucks because I paid for a car with CarPlay - help!

I spoke to senior advisor at Apple - nice guy - but no idea what issue is. Never heard of it either. He suggested I call Acura. When I call Acura they suggest I call Apple. I find with CarPlay issues - no one takes ownership. Apple points at car company. Car company points at apple. I also don’t understand - in this discussion I see plenty of people note that Apple advisor heard of the issue. I find the whole call in to Apple is hit or miss depending who answers phone. Anyways - no answers.

Can a glitch spread from Apple CarPlay to the phone itself? I had another glitch besides maps navigation - caller occasionally cannot hear me when using CarPlay. All of a sudden this issue started happening on my iPhone X even when not connected to carplay. I never had this issue on my phone before I started using carplay. Is that possible? Everything seems to say it isn’t possible / but too much of a coincidence....

Everything is possible in the realm of software development. A bug in the phone's os that thinks the internal mic has to be muted in favor of the car's mic even though you are no longer in the car springs to mind. That being said I guess our best bet to help Apple fix the navigation issue is to keep this thread focused. If you want please start another thread and I'll be happy to post with a message similar to this one.

Best!

I have a slightly different version of the this problem. I live in Tucson AZ. A couple of weeks ago, I visited my son in Daly City, CA for a week. Now, every time I try to use either google maps or apple maps in my Ram Truck, it initially shows my correct location, then in a couple of seconds, switches to say my starting point is Daly City - over 800 miles away. I can navigate fine on the phone, and then plug it into the truck, and it changes my current location. After about 5 minutes of driving, it seems to figure out where I really am and navigates fine from then on. I do have the fin antenna, although I did not get the nav system, so I suspect the truck has a gps on it based on prior comments. My iPhone is an Xr. Anyone else seeing this - does anyone have a fix?

So today was the worst it's ever been. It was screwed up for an entire 15 min drive. I've never seen it that bad before. And then an hour later on the drive home it was completely fine. So frustrating.

I have same issue with iPhone X. Apple should fix this ASAP. If it hardware issue then start replacement program.

I'm having the same issue both wired and wireless carplay on Alpine ILX-107.

Yes, that is how the GPS antenna was installed and located right now. Followed everything in this instruction to the letter.
