Google Maps, Car Play and HUD

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Apple the issue if Google Maps or Waze isn't showing up on a vehicle HUD? I'm trying to get Apple to look a this but they keep blaming Google

hello george,

welcome to the google maps community forum!

not necessarily - it is possible that an app has to call upon certain features to use them.

could you please provide more specific details about the configuration?

Not a lot of detail. When using google maps on iOS or Waze the turn by turn won’t display on vehicle HUD. Apple Maps works fine and built in Nav from auto manufacturer. If you use an android phone then google maps displays on the HUD.

Conversation was at apple store and over the phone. They stated that its on Google Maps to work with Apple to allow Maps to go through onto to the HUD.

I don't think that is true. It feels like Apple is only allowing their native maps to go to the HUD since it's the default. Within Carplay you'd have to have an option to either pick which navigation is default so that happens or allow any navigation system to go to HUD.

hi george, they could be right. but i would ask them to provide the specific details of how that should be done, details of the coding function/s. or ask for a reference to a resource that provides those details.

there would then be some specific information to further act on, for example, to find out more with.
