There are boxes you plug to your CarPlay enabled car that run Android. Run Google Maps on that and you're golden. No need to carry/connect your phone to the car anymore

I don't think you mean a wired-to-wireless dongle, which is all my searches turn up. Can you give me an example of such a device?

Oh, there's plenty of these, here's just one example: https://www.amazon.com/ATOTOOUT-Magic-Box-Built-Bluetooth/dp...

		Thanks! What a fantastic keyword salad that product serves up. Not cheap, but then again why should a magic AI box be cheap?

Don't car play and android auto rely on proprietary libraries? I doubt it will come to Linux phones unless they take off or something like microg reimplements the proprietary parts.

GNOME Maps is good enough for me. I don't know what Carplay is and at this point I'd rather not ask.

		Framework for using your cars infotainment system as your screen/input device. Android has something similar called Android Auto.
