The car has google maps built in, just wondering why would you want to use another map rather the cars own maps ?

I'm a firm Android / Google maps user but speaking to my wife who is firmly in the Apple camp, its more about how AAOS handles things like messaging as opposed to CarPlay

Cool, was just wondering, I hope the google maps still work when using carplay, will be best of both

The confidential Volvo document says "When navigation is started through Apple CarPlay, ongoing native turn-by-turn route guidance will be ended.". I think it will not be possible to use both.

Surely you can run Google maps through CarPlay though, just not the cars own Google Maps?

I wrote what the confidential Volvo doc says and how I understand it. If you use Google maps through Apple CarPlay then it will probably work, but using both together seems wierd. I would prefere on board nav instead of CarPlay. Anyway, next weeks will confirm what will be possible.

I was hoping if using carplay for sounds/podcast or music that you could still use cars built in google maps for Nav, rather than using carplay for Nav as well, would be the ideal blend for me.

I heard that Carplay is "wired" so they will HAVE to open data in that case! dont know how it could be done any other way! Given how Polstar are saying Front USB are open, and underneath both cars are using the same electronics it would make sense! now its just a waiting game for the update to drop! i did read some where ETA 3rd July OTA will start and 1 week before ( Next week in that case ) dealerships ( VIDA access )

so i guess its watch this space!

USB audio file playback confirmed as working with 2.2 in Polestars !!

Why would you use the vastly inferior Apple Maps v Google Maps that's built-in

Not sure why they couldn’t give us wireless CarPlay. I’ve had that for over 2 years in my Audi so it’s hardly new technology. And wireless is much more convenient.
