New Google Maps Now Worth Using

[Claudius]

After updating to iOS 26.4 google maps from carplay stopped showing nav/arrows in dash and in AR HUD. Used to work well. Anyone experiencing the same?

Google Maps app on Apple just got an update. I’ve not tried it yet, and it doesn’t mention specific fixes, but it might fix this

Nope, update did not fix it

The real value here is the API handshake between the Google Maps EV routing and the car’s real-time State of Charge (SoC). Previously, third-party apps were just estimating consumption based on generic profiles, but the updated version pulls actual telemetry data to adjust arrival percentages. hmmm, I noticed the route recalculation is significantly faster now that they’ve optimized the tile rendering for the PCM hardware. If you’re planning a long-distance trip, the way it layers the Ionity and Electrify America stops with live stall availability is a massive leap forward. It’s definitely more efficient than the old workaround.
