According to Apple, Apple Maps in iOS 17.4 will show a “new instrument cluster experience with information about upcoming maneuvers” with supported CarPlay vehicles.
Apple says:
"In iOS 17.4, with supported CarPlay vehicles, Apple Maps will present a new instrument cluster experience with information about upcoming maneuvers. Users will be able to swap the desired display type between the main and instrument cluster screen by tapping the map configuration button on the upper right of the Maps main screen."
Details about how this feature works and which cars are supported are currently unavailable.
This feature is not related to the next-generation CarPlay, which will be available on select Porsche and Aston Martin cars later this year. It appears to be linked to cars that are compatible with dual-screen Apple Maps via CarPlay.
Dual-screen CarPlay support was initially introduced by Apple in 2019, allowing car manufacturers to extend the CarPlay interface to instrument cluster displays. However, the adoption of this feature, like most CarPlay capabilities, has been sluggish. Currently, only a few cars from Polestar, Volvo, and BMW support this feature.
