Using Apple CarPlay

With a compatible head unit in your 4WD you can load Overland Navigator up on your Apple CarPlay display and make sure you’re on route when out about.

1. Make sure your phone is connected to your car

2. Open Overland Navigator on your CarPlay screen

   

   If Overland Navigator doesn’t launch, open it on your phone first

3. The default view will zoom in on your current location and display your heading and where you are. If you’re on a route, you can see how far through the route you are.

   

4. To control the map, tap one of the controls buttons. In order, they are ‘Change position’, ‘Zoom in’ and ‘Zoom out’.

5. You can pan around the map with the arrows. When you’re done, hit the ‘X’ button

Tap the Layers icon to change the base map - you get a choice of the standard 4 base map types in Overland Navigator.

A small overlay in the bottom-left of the map shows your current speed, altitude, and heading - updated in real time as you move.

You can record your GPS route directly from CarPlay without touching your phone.

1. Tap the Record button (circle icon) in the nav bar to start a recording. A brief on-screen alert confirms it has started.
2. Tap the Stop button to end the recording. The route is automatically saved and uploaded.

If CarPlay disconnects while a recording is in progress, the session is saved automatically.

Tap any track on the map to see its key details - grade, length, estimated time, and region. From there you can tap Open in Maps to get driving directions to the trailhead via Apple Maps.

If you enter a Navigator Points zone while CarPlay is active, an alert gives you 15 seconds to claim the points or dismiss it - no need to pick up your phone.

Apple CarPlay is a very restrictive environment - we’re heavily limited in what we’re allowed to do.

• Campsites aren’t shown
• There’s no on-road routing - Apple Maps and Google Maps do this better than we ever could
