Any way to get Google Maps with an Android phone?
Hi.

Until Android Auto is added, is there currently any way to get Google Maps to show up on the 2019 RDX while using an Android phone?

Thanks.

I used iphone 5s with IOS12 for carplay and turn on tethering on my android phone. Works fine so far. So buy some cheap iphone which can be upgraded to IOS12 that way you can use google map.

It's the same way that android auto would interact without the visual interface. I'm sorry if that offended you??? It's actually a pretty clean way. You can also put the same address into your navigation system and allow both to play simultaneously imho
