Hey everyone, I’ve got a bit of a unique question for those who use both Google Maps and Waze while driving. Ideally, I’d love to have Google Maps directions displayed on the instrument panel while keeping Waze active on the infotainment screen via Android Auto.

Here’s the issue: When I start with Maps on the infotainment screen and switch over, the directions show up on the instrument panel as expected. But once I start directions on Maps, the screen on the instrument panel goes blank. Even toggling with the steering wheel button doesn’t seem to fix it.

I find both apps useful for different reasons on longer trips, Maps for navigation and Waze for traffic alerts or spotting police activity. Has anyone figured out a way to make this setup work seamlessly? Or is this just a limitation of how Android Auto handles multiple apps?
 
Must be an Android issue. I was thrilled when I was able to run both mapping systems using IOS. I started the GPS NAV first. Switched the NAV over to the center display and then brought up WAZE on the infotainment Screen. IMG_8485.jpeg
 
I stick to Google Maps for directions. But I always open Waze too, because it's great for spotting cops and those sneaky speed traps. And the cool thing is, even if I switch to another app, Google Maps keeps giving me turn-by-turn notifications. I've muted the sound, so I don't know if the audio directions still work, but I think they probably do.
