Took a trip (long) this week (driving) to check out a new house. Ventura California to Prescott Arizona.
13 ProMax on latest beta and Apple Car Play in my Ford Edge (all updates).
Music, Messages, Calls all worked well, almost. Not sure if it was the connection (5G/LTE) or something in the OS but some of the messages never made it to Car Play. They were on the phone when I looked later - how I found them. Everything else worked okay.
Maps was a whole different tale. Ugh. For those who have driven all or parts of it, US I-10 from California to Phoenix Az has a good bit of construction and associated traffic. Maps was frequently wrong. The route was great however the actual traffic and construction info was frequently incorrect. Indicated detours where there were none at that time (they previously existed) and indicated no active construction for other spots where there was said construction. Frustrating to be cruising and the map shows no delays when eWHAM!. Brake lights.
At my destination (Prescott Az), likely due to AT&T having not the greatest network there, driving routes, using Safari to check accounts and paperwork, and email became a mess. Once again I suspect it had to do with poor signal but this beta didn’t handle it well. I swapped to Mint Mobile (TMobile) and Android and all was great. Strong signal. Same apps on both so was able to do what I needed - paperwork, etc…
One item of note, with a weaker signal, spell check was very poor. Much worse than usual. How much is actually done off device vs on device? Have to look into that.
Anyway, I skipped using Apple on the return trip and used Android instead. Worked well. I was surprised how much more detail was on the map for Android Auto vs Car Play. Maybe I am missing something? My last trip like this was a few updates ago and a different car (still Ford Sync) - I didn’t have these kinds of issues, except construction. Must be a Maps thing.
