Hmmm. I see what you mean.
Again, this is going to be a complicated one to explain:
On CarPlay there is a safe area where elements can be placed. This area is between the CarPlay toolbar on the left and the 4 buttons (menu, zoom, skip wpt) on the right.
I did implement a correction for this, shifting the compass/etc. to the right of the safe area so that it's above the buttons (and probably under the buttons partially, but acceptable). To do this... I need to know if this is a right hand drive or left hand drive CarPlay system. Because if it's right hand drive, the shifting is not necessary.
Unfortunately there is no safe-safe way to do this. Apple CarPlay does not provide a way to know if it's left-hand or right-hand drive system (on right-hand drive systems the carplay templates are mirrored (the carplay toolbar is on the right, the map buttons are on the left and the next instruction + ETA is on the right).
The "workaround" I applied to find out if it's right-hand drive or left-hand drive, is to check the safe area margin on the left side with the margin on the right side. On most CarPlay system, the map button width is wider than the CarPlay toolbar. But... looking at you picture, I think for your CarPlay system this is not the case, and thus it treats it as a right-hand-drive CarPlay system and does NOT shift the elements to the right.
I don't think there is anything I can do about this as there is no 100% reliable way to find out if this is a right-hand or left-hand drive carplay system. The only thing I can do is add a user setting so you can manually tell Scenic if your CarPlay is right-hand or left-hand drive. I'll do that for the next update.
