Waze and Google Maps not working in apple carplay
Hey Guys
Just in case someone has an issue similar to mine I'll leave my experience here. Whenever I opened Waze or Google Maps and started driving they constantly thought I took the next turn even though I continued straight, this even happened with U turns which made Waze go specially crazy because it thought I was going in the exact opposite direction! This cause the route to be recalculated and I missed a ton of turns because of the error. The error turned out to be an old iDrive 7 version with which my car was delivered. I took the car to the dealer and they updated my iDrive 7 software to the latest version; this solved the issue and now Waze and Google maps work flawlessly on the awesome central screen in my G20; it is a dream come true! Important Note: I live in a country where OTA (over the air) updates are disabled and seeing the system version is not possible, if you are in the US or Europe and Waze/Google Maps go crazy AND you are in the latest iDrive version then your problem might be different =( I hope this helps! |

Don’t understand what iDrive 7 has to do with CarPlay apps other than displaying them on the screen. Both Waze and google maps are running from your phone.
