I generally like #carplay but it’s infuriating when it comes to labeling streets. It should ALWAYS label the next cross-street, and ideally, the street you’re currently on. Instead it will show you the name of some tiny short street that is blocks away. Not helpful, #Apple

@gordonmeyer When you’re en route, (A) Maps knows which things are irrelevant to that route and can therefore be obscured by map labels, and (B) when two roads are near each otherl, the one you’re supposed to be on is used as a clue to which one you’re actually on.

When you aren’t en route, as in that screenshot, neither of those apply. So misstating your current street would be both (A) costlier and (B) more likely.

Maybe it’s just laziness on Apple’s part, but if it’s deliberate I bet that’s the reason.

@mpt thanks. But I’m not buying it. In the screenshot it’s only labeling a minor, distant street. Not the major street I am on, nor the one I’ll crossing.
