CarPlay + Google Maps Turn By Turn Directions?

Hey all –
I recently picked up a 2018 F80 and started my new ownership with about a 500mi road trip.

I used carplay and google maps for my directions / routing. I noticed however that none of the turn-by-turn direction cues would display or announce through the HUD or dash.

I'm new to the forum and new to this car, and i'm curious if there's a specific setting I need to activate? Or is it possible that turn-by-turn is only enabled if you use the factory iDrive6 navigation software?


Thanks in advance!

Turn by turn on HUD is only available for the onboard navigation software. Airplay directions are only on the main display. With this car I don't really even need to use Google Maps coz the onboard navigation is actually pretty damned good. Traffic avoidance is similar to Google Maps but not as good as Waze. That's a given coz Waze is geared towards hardcore shave 1 second off is good kinda trip.
