CarPlay Apple Maps takes over screens and lacks speed limits.

When I initiate a navigation in CarPlay, maps overtakes over every screen on my dash! That is, Maps is presented in three locations when I only need it in one. In doing so it does not allow me to use those screens for other applications such as music or radio, etc. And, if I don’t initiate a navigation, I don’t get speed limits! My work around for this is now to use Google Maps because it gives me speed limits whether I’ve got a navigation initiated or not. This then allows me to get both the speed limit and the use of the remaining screens for valuable applications. The only other alternative is to continue to use Apple Maps, but then I am constantly distracted while driving because I have to move between screens just to see what channel I am on in order to make changes. It’s very distracting while trying to drive. I hate to say it because I’m a huge Apple fan, but Google solves the problem! Why Apple can’t figure this out is beyond me!
