Waze Begins Private Beat Testing In iOS 12
iOS 12 is launching on Monday. One of the most anticipated features from our readers is support for third party navigation apps in CarPlay. If you don’t like Apple Maps, iOS 12 enables third party apps to offer navigation interfaces in the car.
Waze has now rolled out a new update with iOS 12 CarPlay integration to its private beta program. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem like this update will be available next week.
The update is rolling out to beta testers now, and it doesn’t seem like it is close to shipping just yet.
On Twitter, Waze has promised CarPlay rollout within a few weeks. Although they haven’t formally announced this, it looks like they are targeting an October launch.
Google Maps has stayed quiet on promising any dates for CarPlay support, beyond appearing on the slide at WWDC alongside Waze. Offline maps app Sygic has teased screenshots of what their CarPlay experience will look like, but we hear they have been held up repeatedly by App Review.

I'm actually a Beta Tester of both Waze and iOS. I'm going to be leaving work a bit early today to drive around a bit, and will try to take some shots for you guys of what it looks like in MMI.
Really thrilled this is happening though.

I am also a beta tester for ios 12 and waze, and waze carplay app did not show up today after I got the email saying it is available. Everything is up to date, so I wonder what the problem is.
Edit: I see after reading the email again it is being released very soon.

I believe that it will co-release with the "official" iOS 12 on Monday. Not positive as I do not use that program.

Anyone noticed that while using the Waze navigation on a set route it changes the map in the gauge cluster to a compass? Anyway to keep it on the regular map? Also seems that when you start a new route it disables the satellite radio and you have to go back and respect radio, and then go back to CarPlay. Only annoying things I have noticed.
