Hi! So far I've enjoyed my return to iPhone (17Pro Max, using iOS 26.4.2), but in a trip of recent, and I had 5 cellphone bars, Apple Maps via Carplay stopped responding when tapping on the car's dash screen but became responsive a few moments later. Completely random. I quickly closed Maps from the dash via home button, restarted, and re-set the destination, and the issue seems resolved. I do not know if it's a hiccup with the iPhone (this hadn't happened before and I'd upgraded to 26.4.2 only very recently.) It's a small hiccup, but am wondering if others have had anything like this.

(Interestingly, the video stream in the background was unaffected.)

Thanks!
 
I've had the full-screen CarPlay map crash a couple of times on long roadtrips. Each time, I noticed that the full-screen map stopped following my progress for a minute, then it was suddenly replaced by the three-app screen. The map display there was still going, and when I went back to the full-screen map, it zoomed to my location and was fine. The Maps app on my phone was still going too. I didn't notice how many bars I had or anything like that.
 
This does not happen to be while using wired Carplay. But when I am on wireless carplay using a 3rd party dongle, the carplay crashes sometimes and restarts. I am on 26.3.1 though
