Default Nav Need

With Apple CarPlay, what is a good argument to get Navigation? Google maps and Waze are the highest rated Nav programs available. Thanks in advance.

Nav adds a bigger screen and better sound system.

But from the navigation point of view, no real advantage, correct?

No. CarPlay is far superior to the factory Nav.

With CarPlay all apps are using the whole screen and IMHO, Waze (Google Owned) is waaaayyyy superior to the embedded nav.
