Curious if there are plans to have OB1 compatible with Apple CarPlay and/or Android Auto? To compete with apps like Gaia and onXoffroad, this would be a welcomed feature!
Its on the road map for future implementation but i havent seen a release date on when or where it is in the process.

Definitely interested in this, as my truck is wireless for AA, and I dont usually have my phone near me when driving, so using the app enroute doesnt really work for me. Would MUCH rather have it on my screen in front of me, than on my phone!

@Michael Follow up inquiry on the Car Play integration....
Missed the ping! Its been a journey lately :)

This is still near term, but we are focused on app hardening and the 3D Release currently. CarPlay and AA will be a bit.

Any updates on this? I consider CarPlay to be a bare-minimum feature for any kind of navigation app. It also needs to have most if not all of the mapping and navigation related configuration (changing layers, selecting waypoints and routes, saving a waypoint) accessible from the CarPlay interface. Gaia and OnX screw this up terribly. Don't follow in their footsteps!

I just checked the app roadmap, which you can find here by the way, it's still shown on the upcoming features list:

Integrate with Apple Carplay / Android AutoPlay

Thanks, somehow I missed the link to the roadmap. I had this thread bookmarked already from a while back so I just came back to it. Hopefully it'll move from "Soon" to "In Progress" soon. Since it is the second most upvoted feature on there I'd hope it isn't too far off!
