Apple CarPlay To Include Support For Google MapsFigure 1 YouTube Photo Courtesy: TechCrunch Apple will allow the use of Google Maps and other third-party applications in CarPlay mode. CarPlay previously allowed numerous third-party apps to be used in other contexts but locked their users in the maps department. This new feature will come with iOs 12 launching later this year. The latest iOs 12 is scheduled to be released later this year and we’ve got news on some new features it will bring to help drivers. There is cause for delight as the tech giant withdraws the limitations with CarPlay that forced consumers to use Apple Maps when looking for directions. Google Maps Waze and many more third-party maps will be supported with the latest Os update.

However, they previously preferred to lock their users into using their own service on the maps page. But with time when Apple discovered that their Map app isn’t exactly a favorite deal they’ve chosen to let consumers use their like with a third-party map application. That small step will certainly improve CarPlay’s adoption rate and make it a more enjoyable and useful feature. While Apple Maps has improved over time, there is no denying that the market has offered much higher alternatives. In fact, when traveling on new roads, it helps if you like and find the map service you use helpful.
