My understanding is that if you use CarPlay or Android Auto, and your car has Nav/SD card, the Car’s GPS is used. The built in antenna is much better than on a cellphone, providing much improved satellite reception.Does WAZE use the GPS of your cel phone or the car's GPS? I assume the former.
No, it's one or the other, so AA and CP use your phone. I just wish AA would display guidance to the HUD, like some other manufactures.My understanding is that if you use CarPlay or Android Auto, and your car has Nav/SD card, the Car’s GPS is used.

Wow, didn't realize this. Just looked on Waze's website, and you're right. As Waze is owned by Google, that makes no sense at all.My understanding is that for Android Auto, Google Maps can use the car's GPS antenna in addition to phone GPS and location services and Waze will only use the phone GPS.
Anecdotally, I work for a major automotive supplier the produces infotainment systems and I recall an engineer mentioning that Google Maps connected to your car was much more accurate because it could use your car's GPS, steering inputs, and speed instead of just the phone's antenna. I'm not in the infotainment division, so I don't have any more knowledge on the subject.
