  1. Does the Niro support routing in the apple car play map? Which app would I use?

    I know that Carplay supports Apple maps, Google maps, and Waze. There might be more that I don't know about. If you use Apple maps you can control it with Siri by pushing and holding the voice button on the steering wheel for a few seconds. Using voice commands with Google maps is a bit tricky to set up but can be done using Apple shortcuts.
     
  5. I'm referring to the latest ios update. Apple maps should now be able to do route planning like a better route planner.

    Got it, didn't realize you were asking about the new EV routing feature since I haven't updated to ios 14 yet. Good question, and I hope someone here can answer it.

    But maybe some enterprising developer could fashion a solution. Using and OBDII iOS library, build an app that does the iOS Maps and SoC data feed. So if you buy a Bluetooth OBDII adaptor, the app could enable the maps functionality.

    However, my guess is that Apple wouldn’t approve it. I would think they would want authentic apps from manufacturers, maybe they even have to pay for a license for this. Ensure reliability and build legitimacy.
