Isn’t that a standard feature of Crapple CarPlay?
This is such a schoolyard level comment. You’re going based off original Apple Maps which indeed did suck. But guess what? So did Google Maps.
It’s so dumb to compare modern Google Maps with OG Apple Maps. If you took a moment to think about what you’ve commented maybe you could attribute the downvotes to something other than “the fAnBoyS 🥴.”
I’ve found apple maps to be consistently shit, usually very outdated, and just not get much right ever anytime somebody I’ve been with has insisted on using it. Maybe if you exclusively live in a well populated city and never go to the countryside, it could be okay, but as soon as you go even slightly out of the major metro areas it starts to breakdown
Settle down hero; my comment was a light hearted jab.
Have you ever used it?
I’m on Android Auto, I live in regional NSW, I travel a lot and I regularly 4x4 in zero reception areas.
I’ve never had this issue, Google lets you know you’re going into bad/shitty reception areas and asks you if you want to pre-load maps. Only needs GPS when with mobile data is zero.
I always find my Google Maps to be better than my fellow 4x4ers CarPlay maps.

No, not for years. Except that it seems to be decaying over the last few months.
Not shown is the same argument I was having with Google Maps. Both insisted the road either wasn’t there, or was closed, which hasn’t been the case for the last forty years that I have used it.

This might be a very rare case if you’ve had the issue with different providers.
I 4x4 a lot, in regional NSW, and find that my pre-loaded Google maps show almost every single trail were on vs my friends with Apple or factory maps.
Either way, my comment was just tongue in cheek, do you remember to stories of Apple Map directing people into the ocean? 🤣
