On Monday, Waze for iOS was updated with support for CarPlay, becoming the second application to benefit from third-party navigation support introduced in iOS 12.
The Waze CarPlay interface supports many of the same options as the standard version of the iPhone, including the ability to report traffic, accidents, police and dangers such as ice or floods. It also offers a voice search, but it must be triggered in the application rather than via Siri.
Other options include the ability to use the day and night modes at any time and to change the graph used to represent your car.
The first third-party navigation application to adopt CarPlay was another Google property, Maps, but there are differences between the two. Only Waze, for example, offers reporting features and an assortment of guidance voices.
Waze is a free download, and works on iPhone with iOS 9 or later. CarPlay requires not only iOS 12 but a compatible dashboard interface.
