How to get a video game map on CarPlay

Published on October 23, 2026

CarPlay maps all look alike. Modz changes that: it shows your route on your car's screen in the style of a video game map, with the same real navigation as any serious GPS.

What you see in the car

When your iPhone connects to CarPlay, Modz appears on the car's home screen. Open it and your map fills the whole screen: the streets, the route and your cursor in the style of the map you picked on your phone, whether it is San Andrias, Nite City or Pixel Map.

Guidance stays clear on purpose. The next turn, the distance to it and your arrival time are always visible, and every turn is announced through the car's speakers.

How to set it up

  1. Install Modz on your iPhone from the App Store.
  2. Pick your map in the app. The car uses the same one.
  3. Connect your iPhone to CarPlay, with a cable or wirelessly, and open Modz on the car's screen.
  4. Start a trip from the car or from the phone. You can search, pick a favorite or go home in one tap.

What is free on CarPlay

Without the Modz Pass, your first three trips with CarPlay are free, with the full experience. After that, the car asks you to open the app on your iPhone: never a payment screen in the car, and a trip already started always goes to its end.

The Modz Pass unlocks unlimited CarPlay and every map. It is monthly, yearly with a 7-day free trial, or a single purchase for life.

Safe by design

The game dresses the road, it never asks for your attention: there is nothing to tap while you drive, and the game layer rewards calm driving, never speed.
