That's great, one of the advantages of a fully digital drivers display.

Wouldn't work on mine with the basic part analog display.

Google Maps is available but only using an Android phone via Android Auto.

Google haven’t updated the iOS version of their app yet to enable the feature.

Well no, you're right, it doesn't, I had always used the LR sistem in the main screem which does do it, I thought it was the same thing, I admit my mistake and I apologize for it. Defender 110 SE I6 D250 23MY

Is this update Country specific? I am Uk based and Waze doesn’t work in the cockpit.

Just make sure your Waze app has updated to the latest version Wink

Had a look at this as I would really like the Waze mini map to be displayed on the instrument cluster, but it seems it's not working for me just yet.

My current Waze is version 5.3.02 and the latest seems to be 5.4, but it's not available to download from GooglePlay, only from a different website and it says the version 5.4 is still beta.

Has anyone got this working using Android Auto rather than Apple Carplay? I'm using AA and not working for me at the moment

IOS here. I just updated my Waze app to 5.4, this has to be done manually as it seems, as someone reported elsewhere. Same with my iPhone. Now Waze is being displayed in the dash, I just checked that - no matter which app is being displayed in the touchscreen. Thumbs Up

Can now confirm, after a manual Waze update to version 5.4.5.0 through the APKmirror website, Waze map is showing on the map section on the instrument cluster.

However, it doesn't display any arrow markers, any ETA data, no other user icons and most importantly no traffic icons or speed traps or changes. So probably need to wait a bit more for it to be more usable as I still need to have it displayed on the pivi screen.
