CarPlay and Android Auto
See your runs on the car screen, start one from the car, and follow turn-by-turn guidance with your stop buttons.
Plug your phone into a car with CarPlay or Android Auto and PathPilot shows your runs on the car screen. Sign in to the app on your phone first.
Your runs on the car screen
Open PathPilot on the car screen. Runs lists your Current run and the runs for Today. If the list is empty you see No runs today.
On Android Auto, the first time can show Loading runs… while the app starts on your phone. If it takes too long, tap Try again.
Start or continue a run from the car
- Tap a run in the list.
- A new run starts on your phone, and guidance to the first stop begins on both screens. A run that's already going carries on where you left off.
You don't need to touch the phone. If PathPilot can't start the run, the car shows why, for example "Location access is needed to start this run."
Guidance and stop buttons
The car follows the same navigation as your phone: the next turn, lanes and your arrival time.
- Skip skips the current stop, after you confirm with Skip stop.
- End ends navigation.
- On Android Auto, Mute turns the voice off and Unmute turns it back on.
- When you arrive, tap Next stop to move on, or End run on the last stop (you confirm with End run again).
Ticking tasks happens on your phone. See Arrivals and completing tasks.
Good to know
- Guidance on the car mirrors the navigation screen on your phone. If you close navigation on the phone, guidance on the car ends too.
- The car screen uses the same map options as your phone (see Start a run and navigate), but keeps the car's own day and night.
