At WWDC 2018, Apple also made some updates to CarPlay, its in-car controller for iPhones.
The big news is that CarPlay will finally support some third-party navigation apps and Google Maps, Waze, and 高德地图 will be the first third-party navigation apps to be supported by CarPlay.
As a CarPlay user, Apple’s own Maps app is perfectly functional and it has been significantly improved since its launch, but it still suffers from some odd quirks now and then.
This isn’t saying that Google Maps and Waze are or will be more reliable, but at least users now have alternatives.
Personally, I’m most looking forward to Waze as it provides arguably the most up-to-date traffic information.
