Apple previewed next versions of iOS, watchOS, macOS and tvOS today at its WWDC keynote, but only had limited time on-stage to share all the new features coming soon.

Apple explained, “CarPlay now supports third-party navigation apps, giving drivers even more choices for a familiar experience on the dash while they drive.”

Are you excited to finally get Google Maps and Waze with Apple CarPlay?
