@buyeuropean any idea on app to replace waze / apple map that actually work on carplay from EU ? (for IOS if possible).

I tried organic map, but the app is horrible for the battery and difficult to use in carplay.

    Try Magic Earth, I love it. Very nice car play support, Apple Watch support, traffic news etc. Give it a try

    Have you tried HERE WeGo, previously known as HERE Maps?

    The app started live as Nokia Maps (so Finnish) and is now owned by a consortium of German auto makers (for some reason headquartered in the Netherlands).

    I don’t have an iPhone, but according to the AppStore listing the iOS version should include CarPlay.

      I tried both magic earth and Here WeGo both work great and support Apple CarPlay. I myself am using magic earth in my car and on my (i)phone because I find it slightly better. However I still use Here wego on pc to check and plan routes, since magic earth only exists as an app.

    I use sygic, it is more work, in ireland i need to look up the post code for everywhere. I have to use a/ c to stop my iPhone overheating but it says gulf of mexico and that was what I wanted. That and it loads on the homescreen.

    I will second OsmAnd. You need to use the paid version from the app store to use CarPlay, but personally I really like it, and use it regularly.

    Offline maps are important to me, and it’ll happily route me even when there is no signal.

    The only downside is, it’s only as detailed as OSM (which in all honesty, is often better than gmaps. Plus you can easily contribute things that are missing)

    £10/y or £40/perpetual for the version that activates CarPlay (and gives you regular offline map downloads, as the free version only gives you 8 before you have to either pay or side load).

    And honestly, I’m not that mad that it’s chargeable. They make a good free product based on OSM, I don’t mind chipping them a tenner.
