I bought a new Toyota Camry 2025 and experiencing this same issue. As soon as I disconnect carplay the navigation on my phone works as it should be and when I connect it again to carplay the same thing repeats. Did you find a resolution for this thing?
Did you check your Google maps also? I use that in my Raptor and it did same thing, switched to Apple and had the same result. Nothing I did changed the issue. Noticed later it was when driving through certain areas that it would happen to BOTH mapping systems. Dadgum Russians....!
OK Keep in mind this happened to me in two (or three?) different location between Alabama, Minnesota and Texas. In a Ford Raptor (I also have a Dodge Challenger and BMW 230i). With Google Maps at first BUT ALSO with Apple Maps when I swapped over to it, which is why I still think it was a satellite coordination issue either with that area (happened in Alabama days apart as a I passed through it going to and returning from Florida) or cellular GPS sync which is also possible. Anyhow, good luck with it.
This is not a BMW thing. I rent a Toyota on my way back home and same issue happened. It happened because Apple CarPLAY default to use Vehicle's GPS Antenna. They do not rely on iPhone antenna once connected to Vehicle unlike Android Auto. This is the reason Android Auto works well. If your vehicle has inbuilt GPS Navigation, then ensure that works fine whenever you face issue with CarPlay navigation. If your vehicle does not have inbuilt Navigation, then check if it has a working GPS antenna. If the GPS antenna is not working properly then your CARPLAY will get wrong location information and will pass to Maps apps. If no Antenna, then CarPlay is built to behave like a dumb - guy and will rely on FM Antenna and will get and feed wrong GPS data to CarPlay.
@@sergheipostica3875 bmw released an update in may 2023. That update fixed any issues I had. I no longer have this issue. I would check the Bimmerpost and see if anyone had experienced that in the 2023 x5.
Google maps, Waze and other systems will get the gps location from the car's head unit GPS module. So if there's a problem with how that information is passed to Apple Carplay/Android Auto or if there's a problem with the GPS modeule itself... then it will be refleted on the app even though the problem is technically on the car manufacture's end. I whish there was a way or an alternative app that does not rely on the GPS location from Apple Car play and relies only on the iphone gps, iphone's gps by itself has never failed on me.
I found a workaround that might help as my apple maps was malfunctioning since 2 days and it worked out at the end. Connect a different phone that hasn't been paired with the car before, and Apple Maps should start working. Then, turn off the car and reconnect the original phone. This should resolve the issue.
It’s definitely a CarPlay issue. I’m on my 4th CarPlay vehicle, this 1 is I drive 8. Last 2 were Acura, worked often, but would totally crash in & out on my MDX wireless, middle of trips. On wired TLX, maps would flash in & out. Also had issues in Tahoe CP prior, but not as often. I just started setting car nav as backup, I also use CP for Apple Music & Siruis app
So I just checked and my last software update was in March. I went to the idrive and it said it is up to date. I also went to the website with my VIN and it says up to date. Any thoughts?
@@nicholasmars2345 I just looked at mine and it’s 3/2023 as well. Hmm I would say do a hard restart on your phone and then try to connect it. Delete your phone off your car and re pair it. See if it helps. After that update I have not had this wandering issue. Granted I’ve had a few times where it would not connect to the phone but that was brief.
It must be an iDrive8 issue, because if I disconnect my phone from my car, it re-calibrates instantly to the current location. I’ve just been using the iDrive 8 navigation, and if needed; the iPhone navigation but disconnected from carplay. Very annoying.
They say it’s phone’s issue :/ when it works perfectly fine with idrive7. It’s idrive8 issue. Every models with idrive8 such as x1 i4 3 series 7 series x7 etc has the same issue.

It’s not limited to idrive. I owned a Mach E and had the same issue and was common in the forum. I only experienced this once while driving my new bmw in which I ended the route and entered it again to correct.
What’s so wrong with using the idrive8 navigation? I agree it should work but why this obsession with phone navigation? I use the phone to troubleshoot traffic issues but they don’t always magically reroute without going back a screen and asking directions again.
When working, CarPlay just makes life easier. If you have an appointment on your calendar, it automatically loads the address into the GPS immediately when you get into your car. It knows you have an appointment. Also, on a recent road trip, I saved all our stops ahead of time under Favorites and this list pops up on maps, making it convenient to click and go. Also, since your address book is on your phone, you can just ask Siri for directions to a business or friends that is already in your address book. I can go on but I think you get the point.
i have a 2021 vw atlas and have the same issue. they say it's the phone trying to override the car's gps. but there's no way to fix it. very frustrating!!!!
Being annoyed by this issue on the first day I got my new vehicle. Trying to use Android phones for navigation now and that works fine. It seems like CarPlay mainly relies on car gps while Android Auto uses the signal from the phone.
Yep, same issue on my 23’ M240i. Stopped using this crappy wireless CarPlay just because of this issue. Have the same issue on my girlfriend’s 21’ Cooper S wireless CarPlay too but not as crazy as on my bmw.

The issue is with both Apple carplay and Google maps. However, BMW navigation would work perfectly fine.

I believe it’s an Apple CarPlay issue. I have an issue with my ford Explorer. Same issue
Damn hope that gets fixed. It’s annoying.
So I am having the same issue. It is annoying. Anyone have any new updates?
I updated iDrive to the latest version like 2 months ago I think. Since then never had this issue again.

Was that recent? Hopefully they do!

Just a personal preference as I use Apple Music and Google maps and it’s easier to adjust address or add destination on the fly.
