I've had a similar experience as well. I had sort of hand waved it as being better due to tighter CarPlay integration (i.e. that there is usually, IME, higher-detail UX - which ostensibly leaves less room for interpretation).

I assume you mean Google Maps :)

My team works on the CarPlay implementation of Google Maps.

Apple severely dictates and limits what we or any other app can do there as far as UX, while not holding themselves to the same rules.

I ran Android Auto for the first time yesterday and was impressed by how much more “Google” it was.

Haha good spot. I’ll correct it in my original comment (while I still can)
