I have carplay in one vehicle, and it's great. You can see the map up on the dash screen, it gives traffic info, shows streets etc while you're driving even if you don't have it navigating you to a specific destination.
In a different, older vehicle we have been using a Garmin that needs to retire. I assumed that I could just get a phone holder and use Maps on the iPhone as a stand alone GPS. Kind of like Carplay mode without the car. However, unless I include a destination it doesn't seem like Maps works that way - it doesn't follow the car as it moves very well and the phone goes to sleep after a short amount of time.
I assumed that this was a normal thing to want the phone to do, but I can't find a way to make it work after searching online. Any solutions? Thanks for any tips.
