Apple today said its CarPlay in-car system will support third-party apps in iOS 12. The addition means people will be able to, for example, use Google Maps rather than Apple Maps for navigation from point to point when in their car. To start, only third-party navigation apps will have access to CarPlay. Apple didn't say if it would open up CarPlay to other third-party apps, such as music and messaging. iOS 12 is expected to arrive later this year.
