When I use google maps on my phone all the traffic alerts(police, stalled vehicles, etc) work, but when I plug into my truck the alerts disappear. It was all working a couple weeks ago. Does anyone know how to fix that?

Just came back from a month long trip using both Apple Maps and Google maps in CarPlay. Both let me see alerts as well as enter them while I was using them for navigation.

I used Google Maps twice last week and saw the alerts both times. I'll use it again later this week so can update if those alerts aren't there.

Google maps seems a bit strange with traffic alerts. They usually work when I have an address plugged in for navigation. Waze still seems the best when it comes to live alerts and notifications.

Waze seems to be superior lately. The last time I tried to use Maps it wouldn't even load, it just crashes.
