As a preference, I use google maps or Waze, its more current and has traffic alerts and the like, so for me, more informative

The issue I have, is when using it, the Information displayed on the Driver screen, does not allow the turn by turn info to be displayed as it does with the Integrated SatNav. All I get it is the option to Cancel
Am I missing something, is there a setup option that allows Google/Waze to show on the driver screen, or is the only option to use the integrated system?

Thanks
 
Not in the central panel, but it is possible to get some navigation directions fed through from Android Auto as a small icon on the right hand side of the drivers display. (Carplay may be the same, but don't have experience to say either way)

I can't remember exactly how you get to it (and can't easily go check as the car's under a cover and the wind currently isn't amenable to doing a quick look) but from memory there is a setting to enable it if you press the menu button on the steering wheel (ie the one between volume up & down) when the central panel is on the navigation section when the integrated system is in use. The setting then carries over to when Android Auto is active (though can't be changed when it is).

If you’re talking about CarPlay (don’t know about Android Auto), only Apple Maps turn-by-turn directions appear on the RHS of the dash.
Waze/Google don’t (or didn’t last time I tried).
Guessing it’s a CarPlay integration thing, as Apple don’t own Waze/Google Maps (and don’t want to make them look good!)

I have never got the right had side of the dash to show anything. All I ever have is the "+" .
