The Google Maps app for Apple Watch. [credit: Google ] Today, Google made two announcements about Google Maps for Apple platforms. First, Google's app now works with the dashboard view on CarPlay screens, allowing drivers to see maps and media controls side-by-side. Second, Google is relaunching the Maps app on the Apple Watch, with turn-by-turn directions. CarPlay's dashboard mode was introduced in iOS 13 late last year, but it only supported Apple Maps.
