I assume that the built-in mapping software doesn't have info on USFS and BLM dirt or gravel roads...

Can I load a GPS/mapping app on my iPhone and have that display on the CX5 display panel? (it is larger than an iPhone screen so that would be helpful)

I am talking about the apps made by Gaia, Garmin, etc. ...

You can load carplay supported apps, once you installed the carplay upgrade kit

It has most of them in my area. It's surprisingly complete.

The new map from june 2019 is surprisingly good and detailed for my area. It was worth the upgrade.
May be try it out and see if it shows dirt roads near you.

The weirdest and coolest roads Ive seen listed on the navigation display are the test tracks inside the GM Milford Proving Grounds.

Map updates are free for 3 years after the day you got the car as new. At least on 2017+. Mine is 2018 cx5.
One can download it and update the sdcard. Requires computer with sd card reader and the nazda toolbox software (free with user,pass registration only).
