CarPlay support?

Definitely interested in this, as my truck is wireless for AA, and I dont usually have my phone near me when driving, so using the app enroute doesnt really work for me. Would MUCH rather have it on my screen in front of me, than on my phone!

My understanding is still working on route planning and UI upgrades

Any updates on this? I consider CarPlay to be a bare-minimum feature for any kind of navigation app. It also needs to have most if not all of the mapping and navigation related configuration (changing layers, selecting waypoints and routes, saving a waypoint) accessible from the CarPlay interface. Gaia and OnX screw this up terribly. Don't follow in their footsteps!

I just checked the app roadmap, which you can find here by the way, it's still shown on the upcoming features list:

Integrate with Apple Carplay / Android AutoPlay

Thanks, somehow I missed the link to the roadmap. I had this thread bookmarked already from a while back so I just came back to it. Hopefully it'll move from "Soon" to "In Progress" soon. Since it is the second most upvoted feature on there I'd hope it isn't too far off!

Any update on CarPlay integration roll out?
considering that the last app update was 10 months ago... I have a feel that's not happening anytime soon.

I wonder the the app has been abandoned entirely at this point. They used to release a new version every two weeks.

Update coming out very soon. Waiting on apple approval
Looking forward to this. It will be a big help to those of us who don't have a GPS enabled tablet, or the space to mount one.
Will Android Auto be released at the same time?

At this point I think we should just accept that CarPlay isn’t happening any time in the foreseeable future. We’ve had one update in 13 months. it’s a shame really, as with the massive issues Gaia has they really could have stolen a ton of users. I’m pretty sure everyone has moved on to OnX at this point.

It takes money my friend! We built a great app which continues to grow slowly, good rating, and we keep it updated, but we don’t have the budget to invest further than occasional updates. We are looking to change that because our goals are to support this community and have the best app out there. No one agrees with you more than me!
