Seems like this article is showing the CarPlay improvements that just came with the 2.10 update. So, more like 2023 CarPlay than 2024

It's great to have options. But personally, I prefer the AAOS Google Maps guidance. I find the interface cleaner and more informative.

Edit: correction, it actually came with AAOS 2.9, not 2.10.

"The driver display ‌Apple Maps‌ screen is only active when there is a navigation route running in CarPlay, ...
. . . With ‌Apple Maps‌ taking up residence in the driver display, that frees up the main infotainment screen for other functionality, whether it be for another ‌CarPlay‌ app like Music or Podcasts or for the native infotainment system."

There seems to be some contradiction between what people have written in this thread and what's in this article. The article suggests that you can use the Google OS in the infotainment screen while Apple Maps is playing in the instrument panel, but CarPlay has to be working (iPhone plugged into the one active USB port). Can the CarPlay screen in the infotainment screen really be turned off if Apple Maps is running in the instrument screen behind the steering wheel?
