I used to use Google maps. I tried Apple maps when I got carplay. Apple maps sucked. I hear that it got better, but I switched to Waze, and won't switch back. It's not perfect, but it does a great job of rerouting around horrible traffic, and warning about upcoming issues, police ahead, pothole ahead, object in road ahead, etc... I've had once or twice when someone must have been playing with that because in the course of 2 miles, I had about 10 different, random issues none of which were true. I got a chuckle out of it. You have to have a login for Waze, but these days, that's ubiquitous. I am always in "private" mode or something like that. Waze also learns how you drive so the time predictions are usually REALLY close. If you key in the same destination from my phone and my wife's phone, it gives 2 different ETAs.
