I do not see Google in the HUD, only the built-in Lexus Nav. Google will show on the instrument panel. If you have Waze on your phone, go into the Android Auto settings and Customize Launcher to make sure you see it in AA. Googling the issue, some people get it for GM, some do not. I never have, and I have a Google Pixel phone, Full HUD display.

Sorry , missed that you wrote Carplay. CarPlay just mirrors your phone. If it is installed on your phone, it is in CarPlay. I do not think it will show up in the HUD. Apple Maps seems to be the only one that does. To be clear, by HUD you mean the reflection in the windshield, right? All work on the main display in the car, just start the one you want to use.

I think you're out of luck there. But why use Waze at all? Google acquired Waze a few years ago and has incorporated Waze into Google Maps. For example, cops taking radar, disabled vehicles, etc. Its all in Google maps which is also far more accurate than Waze. Google announced it will not be adding new features to Waze.

Google Maps/Waze/ Apple Maps
Per my new best friend, Chat GPT, Waze excels at routing you around traffic jams as exists in my city, Los Angeles. Google Maps is better at finding and rating businesses and items at your destination. Apple Maps is best if you are preferring to use Siri as your interface. Clearly Waze should get as good as Waze at re-routing you but they are not there yet. The HUD is only working with Google Maps at the present time. Deal with it.
