New Google Maps Now Worth Using

[jwatte]

The car uses some Google mapping data, but uses TomTom for traffic, and navigation.

Indeed!

I discovered yesterday that Google maps are now also visible on the cluster screen when using Apple CarPlay. Previously it was only Apple Maps and Waze. But unfortunately the map disappears a few seconds after I start the navigation. Wondering if it's a bug in Google maps / iPhone or in Porsche's software.

Huh? I always get the google map when I connect Android Auto. Has never not worked for me.

I have no doubt, but with Apple CarPlay, Google hasn't released that feature until recently.
The only frustrating thing is that my Macan MY26 says it doesn't support the map after it has been visible for 2 seconds.

Google Map is visible in dash unless you start navigation. Seems another bug or not yet release feature…
