I'm an Android user, but have been considering switching to Apple, and it turns out that you can make GMaps or Waze the default mapping app for CarPlay. I was just reading about it as part of this thread.

Yes Waze is great on Apple carplay. Perfect Speed camera warnings are a lifesaver here in Europe.

You can do this with Android Auto - no need to swap to Apple!

That's just putting a shortcut on the screen. It doesn't change any other defaults. Siri will still only open Apple Maps. Same with Calendar, iMessage, Contacts, etc.

“Give me directions to foo” - gives directions to foo in apple maps

“Give me directions to foo using Waze” - gives directions to do using Waze

This might be new, but it definitely works on the iOS 13 beta, although I’m pretty sure it worked on iOS 12. It would still be nicer if we could just set default apps

Can confirm that this works on iOS 12.

That does not make Waze the default mapping app. 9to5mac is wrong. Changing the order of the apps is only cosmetic.
