And that they are both owned by the same company.I have encountered a few proposed streets on Waze that were also in Google, but not in Apple, so that's why I thought they might have been linked
You can install our site as a web app on your iOS device by utilizing the Add to Home Screen feature in Safari. Please see this thread for more details on this.
Note: This feature may not be available in some browsers.

Apple also uses their own maps as of a few years ago - overseas they use OSM but I don't think that's a thing since they moved their mapping in house.I've heard they use basemaps from various sources. Likely same ones Google uses like OpenMaps, TomTom, I still see Nokia street mapping cars driving around here so maybe Nokia depending on region.
So rather than Waze using Google, Waze and Google draw from the same basemaps then do their own thing from there?

Yeah but that's not really the same. I'd much prefer being able to run the actual app.You can already run plug share using the browser or full screen YouTube hack, but only while in park.
Dat too, Dat too.And that they are both owned by the same company.
The important thing is... how reliable is it?From what I can tell, the Tesla in-car navigation uses TomTom's routing engine (in Australia, at least). The aerial imagery tiles are from Google, not sure about the street layout or the point-of-interest data.
I've found it to be excellent. It offers some alternate routes when you start navigation, its ETA and estimated charge usage tends to be pretty spot-on, it'll re-route based on traffic (I've had it successfully re-route me to avoid a jam on the M3 heading into Brisbane), and I'm low-key obsessed with the energy usage charts.The important thing is... how reliable is it?

Thanks for that. Care to share the routine you mentioned above? One more thing, is bluetooth solid in Tesla's. Okay my Benz is 6 years old now but bluetooth has always been flakey.I also have a routine on my phone that opens Waze as soon as I'm connected to the car's bluetooth and closes it as soon as I'm disconnected. Works a treat and announces when it needs to over whatever I'm playing on Bluetooth. Didn't like the idea of having another screen infront of steering wheel just for Android Auto and definitely don't feel the need now.
Now just to figure out a WhatsApp solution for messages to pop up, but at least phone calls seem to work fine.
Attached two screenshots. I've got a Samsung, so this is how it's done through their UI but it's the same on standard Android and I'm pretty sure you can do the same on iPhone with the Shortcuts built in app.Thanks for that.

Hmmm! Excuse my ignorance but are the screenshots from your phone or Waze?Attached two screenshots. I've got a Samsung, so this is how it's done through their UI but it's the same on standard Android and I'm pretty sure you can do the same on iPhone with the Shortcuts built in app.
I've had no issues with any Bluetooth drop outs at all. Been solid the whole time.

Oh i did not know that there are region based lock within the Apps themselves...in that case, the only option would be to buy one of those Hannshow odometer displays that double up as Android Auto/Carplay devices...these are still reasonably priced & fairly easy to install.You'll notice that the people who are suggesting using the car web browser to use Waze or Carplay are not from Australia. This is an Australian subforum & the OP is from Australia. In Australia, the web browser is disabled when the car is being driven, so these solutions won't work.
I use Waze & Pocket Casts on my phone in the car. Waze is on screen & Pocket Casts has podcasts queued up ready to play before starting to drive. To do this, I made my own charging phone mount using parts of other mounts: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/3pxj0y1v?p=62#r1240. This allows me to see the phone & it doesn't overheat like it does in the Tesla charging bay.
It’s not Waze that gets shut down, in a number of markets showing an internet browser on a car’s screen is illegal, and that includes Australia. Initially the browser was permanently disabled but later it was made available when the car was in Park, but it disappears when the car is put in drive.Oh i did not know that there are region based lock within the Apps themselves...in that case, the only option would be to buy one of those Hannshow odometer displays that double up as Android Auto/Carplay devices...these are still reasonably priced & fairly easy to install.
I suppose it all depends on how badly you need Waze.. where I live in UAE, waze makes a massive difference with live traffic updates, camera radar alerts, etc..Plus Tesla maps are missing some very obvious places and almost always routes you through toll roads.
The browser is very useful when stopped combined with the YouTube hack to get it full screen. The kids where watching Bluey with me yesterday on ABC iView. We were on a road trip and wifey had poppedIt’s not Waze that gets shut down, in a number of markets showing an internet browser on a car’s screen is illegal, and that includes Australia.

In other countries such as Japan and Hong Kong a number of features are disabled completely due to local laws including Summon , the internet browser and other features.
This must be an iPhone only option. I only have an option to use the phone's speaker on my android phone. See screenshot below. It would be nice to have this feature as it's easy to miss notifications, especially if the music is loud or on coarse chip road surface.Tip: You can use your phone to send Waze alerts as a bluetooth "phone call". Then, it will interrupt whatever is playing in your Tesla and send the alert over the speakers.

Traffic aware navigation on the Tesla native nav app has improved a lot, so I don't miss Waze.
Mine works no issues on Android. Where is your audio coming from?This must be an iPhone only option. I only have an option to use the phone's speaker on my android phone. See screenshot below.

I've tried going into this menu with the phone connected to my car's Bluetooth and it doesn't change.
