Question about all the Google stuff

[Ctmedic]

Be aware that when using CarPlay you may not get the entire screen more like 2/3 of it. At least that is my experience.

I hate that you don’t get the full screen this drives me insane

They probably prefer that you use a data plan instead of CarPlay. Back in the day we paid a ton more to have built in navigation; now I tend to only use Siri for directions and prefer to see other icons and stuff on the screen..but that's just me

Im perfectly fine with it. A wide screen is not all that useful for navigation. I have my music selected on the right side of the screen with CarPlay on the left.

I do the same or sometimes have the analog clock over there. The point is the screen should be configurable to my taste like they claim it is, but it is not unless you are married to Google and even then you're kind of limited. For instance I would like the navigation And then the front camera so I can see where I'm going and see over a steep rise when I'm off road .

I could see this feature being added the next time they do a "refresh". And since it's software related, maybe we'll be lucky enough to get an OTA update with it.

Those features will be available in MY2030 (when I'm ready to replace my 2024) We may have flying trucks by then

We already have flying trucks we call them airplanes lol. All kidding aside since I'm an overlander not a yachtsman nor an aviator I kind of prefer sticking to the ground.

Yeah flying vehicles is the next disaster coming on this world and severla companies have released prototypes! No fender benders in the air; a crash is a one way ticket to your maker.

I used to be an aviator, however let my private pilot license expire years ago; I now stick to flying my scale and aerobatic remote control planes, a hobby I started almost 50 years ago.

I do love the water, especially the ocean, owned a small 36' motor yacht/cabin cruiser, when we lived in the UK and sailed to France and the channel island a lot. Unlike a 36' road trailer, prone to swaying and falling over, be dangerous in high winds, I prefer to be on the water even in 30'+seas, 40-50 knot winds; having faced such conditions in the English channel, I can handle that any time.

I still love my ground machines, truck, car and my lawn mowers

Oh no thank you when the swells get about 6 feet I'm looking for the harbor.

That experience was in the middle of Lyme Bay England, around 50 miles from shore, returning home on Easter weekend from Torquay to Portsmouth (162 miles), at least 5 1/2hrs in washing machine type of experience in the Bay; we survived

Kinda ridiculous that the full screen Google Map isn't compatible with the Google Maps App on my iPhone.

Does anyone else's full screen Google Map go blank for a day or two about once a month? All day Monday mine was totally blank except for the arrow vehicle icon. No roads, side streets, road/street names, buildings, only the arrow. Yesterday it was showing the arrow and just roads (just the lines, no street names). Now today it's back fully functioning and showing everything.

Slightly different issue but dealing with google stuff, so here it goes. When I try to make a voice call using Hey Google, or even ask it a question, it types it out on the screen as it hears me but then says "Something went wrong, please try again later". I am fully connected to my phone, and am still in the free period on the data plan and onstar (truck is 3 weeks old). Any ideas?

In all my vehicles I hold the voice button down for 1-2 seconds and it skips the vehicle and I am dealing with Siri directly. I dont even download my contacts to the vehicle because there is no reason to.

I use Alexa as default not Google; works great for me.

I tried to set up the Alexa, she said she couldn't connect to the internet. Also, the google play app wouldn't connect. Wondering if I have some permission that isn't set correctly or something.
