How To Get Google Maps on Apple CarPlay

Apple CarPlay in iOS 12 finally has support for Google Maps. Here's how to make sure your home screen shows the app and a quick demonstration of how it looks and what it can do on the dash.

[@brandonglassman661]

I think you missed the most important part about this. Google maps allows you to download maps to the phone, which allows it to work where there is no service. The GPS in the phone works everywhere, and with a predownloaded map, it will work perfectly in the middle of nowhere, on your dash. You can download your entire state or more if you have the gigs to spare.

Thank you. I've been trying to set this up for my 86 year old mom

[@billschlegel85]

Great Job Rich Google Maps on Apple CarPlay made simple.

[@roberthughey7663]

that was very helpful

[@davpalso]

This is a FANTASTIC review 💯

[@stevejpm]

Used Carplay with Google maps just recently with a new iPhone 11. First time I've used and apple product. There is much to like about Apple Carplay. The general interface, the layout/configuration of icons and screens, etc. However, I hate hate hate not being able to pinch and zoom on either Google maps or Apple maps. I can't drag and move around on the map. Android auto is much better that way. Also really liked being able to say "OK google, navigate to blah blah blah..." or "OK Google, play Hotel California by the Eagles" etc. All that by not touching a button or screen, just say "OK Google ...".

I spent 2 hours trying to sync my iphone google maps to my car's screen😵‍💫. After watching your explanation, I got it!

[@cmqta]

Very good video!!! I just purchased a 2019 Jeep Cherokee and am learning about all that. This video was a great help!!! Thank you.

[@erics423]

thank you sir i just downloaded car play so i will try it out in the morning

[@pattiney3890]

Thank you for this information!

[@steves1749]

I’ve been waiting for this as well. Got IOS 12 on Monday. Tried the new Apple maps yesterday and it appears to have improvements. Just updated my google maps so I’ll try it. I’m really waiting for Waze. I think there traffic is better here in NYC.

[@handrm]

Nice job, sir.

[@lostbetrayed]

Doug DeMuro is the kind of guy that.... Oh wait a minute wrong channel lol 😂 nah this guy has the same last name. Cool video dude

[@pmslots1856]

Wow thank you so much.

[@alanw.4511]

Thanks a million dude!!!

[@amroelnour]

My night mode doesn’t work even though my head unit is connected to the dimmer wire, i have appradio 4

[@zrohit]

Great video, can you select - can you select my maps ?

[@user-gu3xc3vt4u]

there is a way to cast google maps in "satellite mode" on your car screen with apple car play. anyone know the setting?

[@franniesnediker6368]

Hi Rich- is there a way to HEAR google maps using CarPlay?

[@wdpetreman]

Can you use maps from phone and listen to built in satellite radio at the same time with maps on the screen

[@alfredoperez9659]

Traveling in GA. I am from TX and I have no idea why my GPS location shows that I am in Texas. This happens only when I connect the cable to the radio. Map works perfect if not connected to radio. Anyone with the same issues????

[@dayak8924]

I can get google maps on my apple play, but I only see about 12 locations on favorites, saved, etc. How do I see the others. I have 47 locations on my favorites and can't see them in my car.

[@charlesgreenfield6124]

do i need the USB or can i use bluetooth? thanks

[@docbrown6550]

Can you use Blue Tooth to connect the phone or does it have to be Hard wire connected.

[@jergernice1]

on my iphone with updated google maps. it does not show up on carplay available apps ????

[@Lorwildrose]

How did you get it to show up in CarPlay settings?

[@dennismoreland5175]

How do you cancel your destination while driving?

[@wmdoux2108]

I loaded Google maps on my Apple car play but it will not take my voice commands. What am I doing wrong?

[@HippoReacts]

Waze is better than all of them. Google maps is just a nice back up.

[@jeffjohnson3620]

Still no Waze on official iOS 12

[@seadoo4life727]

Looks like there’s no reason to ever buy navigation with your vehicle anymore

[@KingTriton1837]

Seadoo4life that's why most automakers don't add it to their cars anymore. Carplay eliminates the needs for it.

[@dmac6004]

All of the add on are not as robust as at least Garmin is in Honda. At the state all of these are in now I would still pay for Navi in car.

[@in4chandru]

When you travel from Canada to the States or from the States to Canada, you need a Navi. You don’t want to use roaming data.

I dont get why Car dealers wouldent go into a Contract with Google Maps before? Like its so good! (By before i mean like in 2015 and so on) But ofc you dont need to seem to do taht now just conect your phone and vola

[@MultiSweener]

I don't see Mustang Ranch on your menu :-)

[@dm-qe9xy]

when connected to apple carplay does it charge your phone to?

[@katherinec1111]

It does! It has to be plugged in

[@darrenchan2797]

If you select your destination address on your phone, does it show up on the car screen then? I mean without having to use the car screen to select address

[@jalpranjal]

this is what I want to know

[@darrenchan2797]

@@jalpranjal I think it works. Just saw a friend using android auto like that

[@shanemoore7339]

Google Maps has more features, but Apple Maps has everything I need. Plus it works with Siri. For the last 2 years I have had no problems with Siri not understanding me, and it always gives me the correct directions. I don't need to punch thru the screen while I'm trying to drive. I'll stick with Apple maps. I do like Spotify on CarPlay! Now if only Apple would allow me to download Spotify Music playlists to my Apple watch for offline listening.....

[@Mvile1]

Shane Moore Apple View will not bring up the Satelite view in Apple Car play but Google Maps will when your phone is set to it👍

[@akraus4920]

Everything properly checked off. Still NOT working

[@struong57]

I agree, Google Maps is superior to Apple Maps. 🙌🏽

[@hamidmghazi]

Another limitation is you cannot call the business you searched for

[@ConwayTruckload]

If your phone is jailbroken you can get KZbin and Netflix too.

[@sunnyliu9820]

Is this Doug Demouros younger brother?

[@in4chandru]

Are you brother of Doug DeMuro?

[@lebotube64]

Not getting the google maps icon in my carplay :(

[@NatureBoyWooo]

lebotube64 it must not be available in your country

[@lonewolf1330]

@@NatureBoyWooo Not necessarily. I don't get the Google Maps icon on my CarPlay either. The car is a 2019, I'm in the US, and I have iOS 12 on my phone.

[@jedaiahkramer1204]

If your phone's IOS is updated, make sure the Google Maps app is also updated. Go to App Store. Tap "Updates" at the lower right. Scroll to Google maps & select "update". Once it's updated, go back to "Settings" - "General" - "CarPlay" - "Uconnect (or whatever shows up for your car)" ... Google Maps should now show up!

[@willito6969]

Apple maps works perfect in the US, google maps interface sucks

[@dtvfan24]

must be the only guy in the world who LIKES apple maps. used google maps as android user but now ios version just send me in circles especially when im London and also increase battery drain

[@braggland8451]

I will stick with Apple Maps. Just as good and doesn’t crash every 5 minutes like all android and google does.

[@jergernice1]

except apply maps isnt as accurate. in fact just today it routed me a weird way to a destination i always go to 2 hrs away. way longer route but said 2 minutes quicker. yet google didnt even offer the weird way and i always get there in 1:40. only reason i even looked at maps was because i cant get my damn google maps to be available on car play

[@abdullahfawaz1970]

Google The greatest ❤️❤️

[@carfanfan]

Reminds me of when Netscape lost out to Internet Explorer in the early nineties. Apple maps is dead ☠️
