Anyone have an idea when Waze will be updated to work with CarPlay? The last I read was that they were beta testing but haven’t seen any estimates time wise.

I don’t know. It shouldn’t be much longer, I suppose, especially since Google Maps have been updated to work with CarPlay.

I tested it out earlier this afternoon when I went to grab a late lunch and it worked well. It looked good on my car’s infotainment display.

Nice. I’m hoping that when waze comes out they keep all the alerts that the other apps don’t seem to have but I don’t know how much they can have going on with CarPlay’s abilities

It’s worked really well for me following the hot fix. The original release had no sound for me. The graphics are pretty low quality, but I imagine those will be improved with time. Other than that, I’d expect it to be released soon with how great it’s working already.

My Rogue came with navigation. I like it a lot. It’s alerts me on road construction will re route ! It gives the speed limit. Even shows gas stations and prices. Voice directions. Like it better than my google maps and doesn’t use my data.

Thanks for this. Just reinstalled Google Maps to try it out. Apple maps is ok but I hate that you cant change routes mid navigation. Really looking forward to getting Waze back on my screen. Loved using it on Android Auto.

Side note: Am I imagining things or did Apple finally include the most needed update to CarPlay? Every time I connect and CarPlay starts it dumps my wifi connection and enables LTE. I don't know if this is coincidence or not but on iOS 11 it always kept my wifi connection going. I never understood allowing wifi in CarPlay since you're clearly not going to be sitting on wifi while driving.

Hopefully its actually happening on purpose because Ive been begging for that option for quite some time.

That feature is most likely part of a Sirius XM trial or subscription. I didn't keep my subscription and it was bye bye gas prices... And a few other things like sports scores and ski resort information.

I’m not sure, but I have Wi-Fi in my car so whenever I connect my device and initiate CarPlay, it’s auto-connected to my car’s Wi-Fi network.

No it’s not. I have navigation in my vehicle. It’s not part of the Sirus XM

Also I had a 2016 Rogue prior. It didn’t have navigation! It did have the Sirus XM though. When I got the 2018 I asked for specifics and I have the SV model. The Navigation is part of the model not the Sirus XM

Cool, then. My Jetta has built in navigation too, but the gas prices were provided by Sirius and went away when I discontinued Sirius service. I like the sound of Nissan's built in navigation service better. 😊

So far it looks like the phone will display turn-by-turn directions and the car's screen will show the map.

I can use my google too but I like the convenience of the navigation on my vehicle. I pay for that. SD card is embedded into mine so whether or not I keep Sirus I have navigation permanently. I like the extras I have with Sirus. So keeping it.
