CarPlay Integration
For a long time Apple Maps was the only option for CarPlay users, leaving those who preferred Waze or Google Maps to resort to the old-school method of an in-car phone mount. However, Apple opened this up in iOS 12 last year, and Waze was among the first to embrace this new freedom.
While there are some limitations in how Waze and CarPlay work together, the app is improving, and with more features coming in iOS 13, we’re optimistic that Wave’s CarPlay integration is only going to get better; most significantly, Apple will be adding Siri support, and specifically called out Waze on stage as one of the apps that will be getting it, so you’ll be able to search for destinations and call up directions in Waze as easily as you can in Apple Maps.
