adjusted mapstyle does not fit to every Carplay screen
Quote from Middelfrangge on 18.05.2025, 14:29Hello,
I have created a mapstyle similar to the „die Generalkarte“ and that works well with my 7“ Carpuride as well as on my phone. I also tried Carplay in my wifes Mini with success, but now I used it in my RV with a 10“ Kenwood Display and most of my settings are showing roads that are too wide. It seems I need another setting for bigger carplay screens - anyone else who has experienced something like that?
Regards
Thomas

It would be great to have a setting that states which custom style to use for CarPlay. I’ve created a style with huge fonts and road widths that’s perfect in CarPlay and very readable. However, it’s horrible on my phone and iPad when playing as everything is way too big. Yes, I can change style but I have to remember to do so and always forget.
It would be great if my nominated style kicked in when CarPlay is connected, but I suspect there’s a technical reason such as the style being determined when navigation starts and so disconnects and reconnects during breaks wouldn’t be so good (although I always start my navigation from CarPlay and seldom use the phone when on a break)

I agree, a profile either by the bluetooth connection (difficult with different carplay screens) or by routing profile. Perfect would be to select Motorcycle and get a different map style than for car or RV etc. In that case voice commands could be added to the profile as well. I recogniced that my voice commands which are adjusted to motorcycling on windy roads are too late on German Autobahn. Therefore I need a setting that combines my mapstyle and my voice settings as well as my width for route and track depending on the vehicle I choose.

I'll probably focus on a separate map style for CarPlay first. That should be relatively easy. Having separate voice command distances per vehicle type is more work.
