Google maps with Carplay now integrated with driver display for some

[astrand1]

Do iOS users realize that every "new" feature they get is just something Apple ripped off from Android?

Do android users realize whether they invent it or “rip it off” that it’s sooo much smoother and more polished on iOS?

So its being reported with pictures that Google Maps using Carplay now integrates the turn by turn into the driver display. The only catch is it doesn't seem to work for everybody (including myself).
Most people are reporting this after updating to one of the most recent Google Maps version on iOS. It does not seem to be related to recent iOS version, or any OTA for the truck.
I however have all the updates for everything (almost) and it is not working.

Based on some questions to those who have it, the combination needed may be related to the truck having the dealer updates giving them walk away lock and/or the Carplay performance TSB.

Can others with Carplay confirm if google maps now integrates into their driver display? If so what iOS version and Google map version do you have? Did you get the TSB for Carplay done, or do you have walk away lock functioning?

It has already been reported working on 22 and 23 models that I have seen.

Can someone check my VIN to see what I am missing?

I have a 23 Lariat and it’s working on mine cluster. Noticed it the other day.

[astrand1]

Yes on WAL. I’ve had that and BC1.4 for quite awhile now but I’ve got access to FDRS so whenever there is an update I do it. I’ve been getting quite a few OTA’s lately so have not hooked up to fdrs in awhile.

Ugh, this is intriguing and frustrating to me. I strongly prefer google maps to apple maps to the point I bought a pixel to test it as a phone I could just leave in the truck but having two phones just didn’t work for me. Just tested mine and it is still not working. I even tried wired carplay to see if that might be it but no dice. I really hope someone figures out why some have it and some don’t/how to get it enabled.

For those for whom it’s working on iphone, are you getting battery status and EV routing or just turn by turn instructions integrated in the driver console?

No EVSE’s and No SOC. Just the turn by turn information.

I tried google maps directions on my iPhone the other day, and yes it worked when it never did before...BUT...I happened to unplug my phone and noticed that when it switched to wireless carplay the directions on the instrument panel went away, it only worked while plugged in. It continued to work fine on the center screen.

And Apple will never win. Before you start, yeah I've had iEverything starting with the iPod, loved that little music box, everything else I got from them was garbage! I moved to Android and couldn't be happier unless it's tossing an iPhone out the window @ 70mph.

I’m no apple fanboi, but in tech being first isn’t usually the guarantee of being rewarded for being first. Usually, the second or third player walks away with the prize. Ask blackberry, they’ll tell you

Apple already did win. In the United States at least.

It’s not about being the first, it’s about being the best.

Honestly, I use both and find them to be more or less the same. Android seems to be a little ahead with features and configurability but not to the point that someone in the Apple ecosystem would switch. I'm sure there are examples of Apple being ahead but I'm more familiar with Android as my phone is Android and my tablets are iOS.

Marques Brownlee explains why they are so similar. His opinion is better than mine.

Was not working but after 20,000 mile service and updates, it is now working in my 2023 XLT.

22 lariat and this just started to work on Google Maps for me as well

It was working two weeks ago and now it is not. No new updates have come over the air or from the dealer. Go figure.

I feel the same way. I forced myself to switch to Apple Maps when I bought my 2024 Lightning Pro but I just checked today and Google Maps works for me with turn by turn and distance showing up on the cluster now. So I’m excited to switch back to Google Maps. I pretended that I was liking Apple Maps but that was a lie to myself.

I spoke too soon. A few days ago Google Maps was working by showing the directions and distance on the dashboard. But then my lightning did an OTA update and now it doesn't work anymore with Google Maps.
