In dash touchscreen

[popeyemth]

2016 Silverado with touch screen in dash.
Using maps on iPhone connected to USB port on truck, IMAPs works great on touchscreen.
What I would like to do is show Googlemaps on the dash screen but can't see how to get it to switch.
Help,please

Apple forces you to use their mapping app. They control which apps are available in CarPlay. My wife has a Honda CR-V with CarPlay, and I researched using Google Maps or Waze, but Apple only allows a handful of apps.

I love my Apple products, but sometimes I wish they would loosen the strings a little.

Ditto!
P.S. love Georgia!
Spent last week at Skidaway Island outside Savanna .

The problem is trying to use a Google product on an Apple platform. It's not a problem with Silverados.

Perhaps the problem is only with Silverados.
I'm using a 6 plus phone with the latest IOS.

deleted incorrect info

The problem occurs with the use of an iPhone.
I believe with an Android system it's plug and play.

Look up Android Auto. My new F-150 can use either Android Auto with an android phone or Car Play with an iPhone.

According to Google your truck has native support for Google built in... More info here

Same thing for a Ram, it's called the lock pick. There's two versions one hardware and software the other purely software.

That may be true as well, and as much as I'm a "techy" person, I've never seen the need to jailbreak my iPhone.

I know the iMaps have been very good to me. They alert of heavy traffic, accidents, and other issues. But quite frankly I'm sure that most good maps will do that. They all use algorithms from user data to compute travel data.

In order to display the google maps, I believe you have to use an android device. Since you're using CarPlay, you're limited to the apps that are congruent. Google probably won't support their product through Apple CarPlay platform.
