Will this automatically translate to the Carplay application in our cars? Something tells me our infotainment systems will need an update as well.

Doesn't Google Maps already work with CarPlay? I use it all the time for navigation.

shouldn't. for the most part, carplay is run by the device not your infotainment system. so when you update to the latest iOS you get the incremental updates. unless they release hardware level changes.

but simply allowing google maps and waze, i would expect ours to work just fine.

could be wrong ...

This would be nice. I'm always using Google Maps but would prefer to use Waze, but don't want to get some goofy phone holder.

I heard about Waze which is extremely exciting. Using a phone mount for a 6S Plus on our slit of a windshield is arguably dangerous lol. Hopefully this brings more users to Waze

CarPlay is an overlay from the Apple interface to the car's infotainment system, no update should be required, As Apple changes the CarPlay interface it will update on the infotainment screen as it's effectively a screen cast of the device just optimized for minimal distraction.

Not sure how it works with Chevy but I downloaded an Apple CarPlay update for my wife's Hyundai Santa Fe Sport the other day via USB
