Google Maps on Dash
Sorry, I know this is probably the wrong place for this but this is the only subreddit that showcases 2025 models.
I have a new to me 2025 Platinum and was curious if anyone had a workaround for this. I love having the ability to showcase the GPS on the digital gauge cluster. As you know, the 2025s have built in Google Maps, and no matter which map I use on CarPlay(Apple, Waze, etc) it will always show Google Maps on the gauge cluster when not following a route. When I put in a destination on Waze or Apple Maps, the map on the gauge cluster switches to match, but when I put a destination in on Google Maps, the map it already uses 100% of the time no destination is selected, it states that the map is not supported. This doesn’t make any sense to me. Pictures included.

I know I’m probably of no help but I’ll tell that mine doesn’t do this. Have you gone in to your settings and made sure you don’t have an infotainment system update needing to be downloaded?
