Apple CarPlay to support 3rd party navigation in iOS 12

Just saw this news for Apple's developer conference that is now in session. Will be interesting to see exactly what this means. Carplay was a standard feature in my VW, I tried it once and haven't used it since. I am not much of a fan of Apple Maps and also don't like the fact that Siri must be enabled (I have it completely off on my phone). But I might give it another try, depending on which apps are supported.
Not much info in this story yet, but updates are supposed to be coming: www.macrumors.com/2018/06/04/apple-says-third-party-nav-apps-coming-to-carplay/

Garmin really needs to get into this market segment if it wants to remain relevant in road navigation.
I was just looking at StreetPilot on my iPhone and notice they seem to have pulled all the in-app purchases. They used to offer traffic, urban guidance and 3d terrain. I already have the first two but never bought the 3d terrain. And now I see it is no longer offered. Perhaps the sun is about to set on the StreetPilot Onboard app? They discontinued the other version (StreetPilot onDemand) about a year ago IIRC.
Uh-oh, looks like they already have discontinued the StreetPilot onBoard app. Will start a new thread for that in the Garmin forum.
