Comment on GM Backed "Open Source Protocol" for Connecting Vehicle Apps and Servicesparent

Comments

I've never experienced a "crash" in Maps or Google Maps, whether on carplay or on the phone. Maybe there is something wrong with your car/phone?

Carplay & android auto do have issues connecting at first but the apps themselves never seem to crash.

I said 'crashes, gives an error, or doesn't respond to an input'?

Have you never had an unresponsive screen before?

I’ve used carplay with a iphone 12 nearly every day for 2 years and never had issues with it crashing or becoming unresponsive. Stability issues definitely makes me think it’s a problem with your setup.

It sounds like you are an outlier then, there are many many videos on youtube showing Carplay to not respond 100% of the time.

In Toyotas?

Yes? Even if only 1% of Toyota owners total post videos of their screen and only 1% of those videos capture carplay interactions, that's thousands of videos total.

Google Maps crashes all the time on my Pixel phone, and I hear similar complaints from friends of mine on Samsung and Motorola phones. Note that this is without using Android Auto.

Count yourself lucky if you have a stable, crash free Google Maps experience!

Feel like google maps runs better on iOS.
