Google Maps is now available for use on Apple CarPlay, Apple’s car user interface. This brings native support for using Google Maps navigation, search and much more directly in your car that supports iOS CarPlay devices.
You can download Google Maps if you have not done so on iTunes or just go to the App Store on your device and check for updates.
We are expecting Waze and some other third-party, non-Apple Maps, products to be available as well on Apple CarPlay in the near future.
I expect to give this a spin and update you on my experience with third-party mapping apps in the near future. For now, go download the update and give it a try.
