> So you can't use Google Maps in CarPlay

Of course you can use Google Maps in Carplay. Just make sure you have location and background refresh enabled for the app and open it. It's that simple.

Have you tried it? I have and Google Maps doesn't actually show up on the car stereo's screen, only the phone's. But putting the app on the stereo's screen is the whole point of CarPlay.

Oh yes, you are right on the usage of the screen. I only use spoken directions while driving and those work fine, but right now Carplay only allows audio apps.
