A:AnswerI don’t use google maps, but I do use Waze; it is very neat, you connect your phone to the usb in the radio to use CarPlay and you get to see the waze map on the radio’s screen; or you just connect your phone to the radio via Bluetooth and listen to waze routing you; I prefer to connect via CarPlay (usb) and see my route on the radio’s screen, saves me from looking down on my phone!
