Porsche Navigation versus CarPlay Navigation: Is there a clear winner?

[Petzi]

Long distance travel using the Macan's navigation is a must for planning charging stops hink but I do like the 'real time incident and traffic' information in Waze and keep it active while driving.

porsche nav (active) on hud. waze (just passive with the option "warnings on" in center screen.

FYI, Apple Maps also provides user reported Crash, Speed Check, Traffic, Roadwork, Hazard, Road Closures warnings along your route.

I’m trying to move over to Apple Maps from Waze as it integrates better in the instrument cluster - I just don’t find it as “dynamic”

The Porsche nav is absolutely terrible. It makes poor choices, it has me zig-zag through rectangular blocks, its traffic info is slow. The only thing good about it is the on-HUD 3D turn arrows.
Google Maps/Android Auto still gives me on-HUD turn indications, just not the 3D overlay, but it has better routing and traffic info, so that's my go-to.

there is absolutely no difference between google and porsche nav. do you really believe that porsche has their own navigation system?

But Waze has other drivers waving swords! And humorous instructions and warnings!

i keep seeing ppl say that the two are the same but i've experienced differences a few times. for certain addresses, porsche nav will take me the wrong place; when i input that same address into google maps, it will take me to the right place. this has been my experience in the bay area in california.

It used to be this way but lately I find the Porsche nav makes questionable decisions - very often due to traffic data being not up to date.

Anyway Porsche nav is the only way to go for battery preconditioning and charging planner so for longer trips it's the far superior.
