@buyeuropean any idea on app to replace waze / apple map that actually work on carplay from EU ? (for IOS if possible).

I tried organic map, but the app is horrible for the battery and difficult to use in carplay.

I will second OsmAnd. You need to use the paid version from the app store to use CarPlay, but personally I really like it, and use it regularly.

Offline maps are important to me, and it'll happily route me even when there is no signal.

The only downside is, it's only as detailed as OSM (which in all honesty, is often better than gmaps. Plus you can easily contribute things that are missing)

ยฃ10/y or ยฃ40/perpetual for the version that activates CarPlay (and gives you regular offline map downloads, as the free version only gives you 8 before you have to either pay or side load).

And honestly, I'm not that mad that it's chargeable. They make a good free product based on OSM, I don't mind chipping them a tenner.
