Apple maps lets you cache stuff offline. It'll give full directions just won't do traffic updates. I cached maps for Slovenia and Croatia. When I got to those countries I turned my phone to airplane mode, plugged it into the VW Polo, and carplay gave me excellent turn-by-turn directions with no cell signal.
This makes onboard nav with outdated maps completely pointless as it's the exact same idea but better and more up to date mapping.

Whenever I'm going somewhere I know won't have reception (northern MI), I download the map to my phone so I still have all the data. Works 5/7.
I use Android Auto every time I get in the truck. It's on my requirements list at this point...but IDGAF about the screen size or whatever, I just want that feature.

Ah, woops! I used Google Maps, not apple maps. Shit I haven't even opened apple maps in like 3 years. But yeah, google maps cached does all nav, and business addresses, just won't bring up reviews or traffic. Its constantly-updated, and as such, renders any manufacturer-specific and therefore unsupported navigation system totally pointless.Detroit wrote: ↑Tue Dec 03, 2019 1:58 pm

Not once? Also why the Fk would I list to that? I am not squirrel brained.CorvetteWaxer wrote: ↑Tue Dec 03, 2019 2:15 pmBut how many times has Apple Maps directed you into the bay? On the middle of the bay bridge: "Hard right, NOW!"
The main issue I used to have is... when you "search" for a place on apple maps. Sometimes it doesn't find it. Google has fewer issues in that regard. But the latest update on apple maps got a lot better.
I have used apple maps since the inception and where are today and where we've come from is I did however have to use maps in death valley last time I was there. as I mentioned due to lack of cell phone reception.
its not that hard.

yeah, if you're really worried about it you just make up a fake gmail account and tie nothing personal to it. They already know the kind of porn I'm into, so what am I hiding?

That is amazing. I've had a bit of a for these for a minute. Would be a fun and relatively rare car for not a lot of money.

Okuurrr. I do what I can to stay off those services that knowingly steal it. So it is what it is. I refuse to use androids for a reason. I know apple does it as well, but they at least made attempts to safeguard you from the Evils out there. Others don't seem to give a shit.
