Apple although he recently abandoned his electric car project, he is still a very successful player in the automotive world thanks to his app CarPlay. It is a direct competitor of the application Android Google car. Although you can hear that from many people CarPlay is better than Android The car, in fact, is the opposite. Here are 5 reasons that will convince you of this.
Google Maps is simply better than Maps Apple
This reason probably does not need to be explained too much. Google launched its map application back in 2005 and Maps Apple did not become public until 7 years later. Today, of course, there is much more parity between the two than before, but Google Maps still has the upper hand, not only in our opinion. Especially since they are available on multiple platforms (including CarPlay), offer a wider range of functions and provide more accurate and reliable navigation data.
Obviously, accuracy and reliability can be subjective depending on your location, but objectively, Google Maps has more geographic data available. Google was almost a decade ahead Applem in the collection of map data, for which it used and still uses data from users. This helps Maps excel in areas such as calculating route times or providing real-time traffic information. Android The car thus directly calls out for users to use Maps in it as a native map application.
Google Assistant offers more than Siri
Unlike Google Maps, it had Apple a head start on digital assistants when it launched Siri in 2011, a full 5 years before Assistant was launched. However, even though the Assistant is five years younger, it is objectively better than Siri, mainly thanks to more accurate and efficient language processing and better support for third-party applications.
Wider support for third-party apps can make a huge difference in a driving car, where most of your interactions with the system are through voice commands. The same can be said about the built-in AI in Google Assistant, which can do things for you, such as summarizing longer text messages, so you can spend less time listening to messages (or worse, by reading them) and focus more on the journey. Google Assistant and Android In short, the car is a more powerful connection than Siri and CarPlay.
More useful notifications
The notification area is something we wouldn't exactly call Apple's loss. The experience of CarIn this regard, Play is very effective and focused on minimizing the distraction of the driver from driving. Everything is done through Siri, including reading and writing text messages, while you don't get any interactive notifications to let you tap for quick actions like calls or messages.
With this approach Apple they think about safety first, which is commendable, but for many drivers, it may be useful or practical to glance at a text message or tap a message alert for a quick reply or call. From the point of view of the overall usefulness of notifications, it is thus a clear winner Android Auto.
Better support for third-party applications
Just like Google Assistant benefits Android The car as a whole from much better support for third-party applications. It currently supports several thousand third-party applications, while CarPlay not even one thousand.
Of course, this can literally change at any moment, and app support issues can vary depending on your individual needs, but in general, if you have a more specialized app that you'd like to use in your car, there's simply a higher chance that it will be Android Support the car. And it doesn't even have to be a specialized app - for example, Facebook Messenger works with Android Car great while CarPlay still doesn't support it.
Android The car warns you of speeding
One of the favorite minor features CarPlay is that it tells you the current speed limit on whatever road you're driving while you're driving. Android The car takes this "of course" one step further and can warn you about speeding in addition to speed limits.
However, this function in Android The car is not always available. You must have navigation running, either in split-screen mode or in a third-party app such as Waze, and feature availability may vary by version Androidfor your phone and your car model. It is worth noting that although CarPlay does not currently have this feature, it is speculated to "land" on the platform later this year.
I'll solve it by driving over Apple car play Waze and I have a lot of extra stuff, what is this article? It should have been called why google maps is better than apple maps 🙂
Waze belongs to Google and has nothing more than Google Maps.
Doesn't he? Maybe the speed display works better in Waz. Where 50 km/h has long been the norm, Google still shows me 90 km/h for half a kilometer... Google shows me a route that usually means driving 7km more than Waze shows me.
All those reasons are nonsense. Moreover, how iPhone I will connect to Android Car, you probably can't help it, huh? And change iPhone for a worse phone with AndroidI really don't intend to give up the whole ecosystem and all its benefits, not at all.
By the way, what are they in? Apple Maps wrong? I've been using them for years and they always lead me to the right place, they warn me about road closures and traffic jams and suggest detours, they warn me about speed, speed cameras and other things. Next there is Apple Music and everything works perfectly with Siri. And as for notifications, I'm not really interested in them in the car, I only deal with phone calls.
So again just a stupid article to start a flame…
Your reasons are meaningless and meaningless. Android is better in every way, either android car, android TV, mobile android, YT music, Google maps... All of these are better - time to admit it. It's not 2017 anymore 😆
You can't explain it to them, they always summarize the benefits under the magic word "ecosystem", but when I ask what it can do specifically, they list the things it can do android for years but at the same time it is not limited to one brand
Guts: There are many things that make the ecosystem better. But Android scam, just like donuts, when they suddenly don't have arguments, they always find something... 🙂
Android Based on my personal experience, the car is quite a disaster...
Volvo has now switched to Android The car is quite bad compared to the original Volvo Infotainment...
In the next car, when I'm in the mood, I'll let it go Apple Car (I still prefer the original infotainment in my Jepp Wrangler), it's still good but smaller Android ...
For me, the manufacturer's original infotainment was in principle better, clearer, more user-friendly than these Android a Apple Car…. but when choosing between these two, clearly Apple Car ...
Apple maps vs Google maps, to hell with it CarPlay can use Google maps, which are really better, but what really bothers me is that blocking all notifications and messages and not reading Czech messages through the English SIRI is not a solution.
Even if many moralists will argue that one should drive and not read behind the wheel, what is the difference in the navigation settings (it works, the keyboard even comes out) and the possibility of passively reading a message.
Dude, flaunt that Android the car has a bigger selection of apps….and which one? When driving, I should keep my hands on the steering wheel and stare ahead….not play videos etc…
Standing moron.
