Then, Google Maps was blamed, as the freezing happened only when the navigation was enabled, and no other app exhibited the same behavior.Įventually, it all proved to be a compatibility error between Google Maps, CarPlay, and the software powering the head unit. At first, many believed this was a CarPlay glitch, especially as it affected the entire UI. The navigation app launched correctly, but after a few minutes of navigation, the CarPlay interface stopped responding completely.

The application is running not only on iPhone and iPad but also on CarPlay and even on the Apple Watch.ĬarPlay users have been struggling with a mysterious glitch that caused random freezing whenever Google Maps was running.
