Triaka on the screen of your car.

Plug your iPhone into the vehicle with CarPlay and see TriakaMap on the car's screen — active route, next waypoint, remaining distance and heading. Designed for the driver's view: zero distraction, zero glancing at the phone in your hand.

How it works

Plug in the iPhone and you're done.

CarPlay handles the whole bridge. You just open TriakaMap and the route shows up on the car's screen — with the view designed for the driver.
1

Connect the iPhone

USB cable to the car's CarPlay port, or via CarPlay Wireless if your vehicle supports it. The iPhone recognizes the head unit and unlocks the interface for the vehicle screen.

2

Open TriakaMap from CarPlay

The Triaka icon shows up on the car's screen alongside the rest of the apps. One tap and you're in. If you had an active route on the phone, you see it immediately on the head unit — same state, same position.

3

Navigate with the car's view

Big map, orange route, your vehicle in the center. Next waypoint, remaining distance and speed on side panels. All designed to read at a glance — without taking the iPhone out of your pocket.

What you see on the car's screen

Critical info, adapted to the head unit.

Big, clean map

Your vehicle centered, active route in orange, numbered waypoints, automatic scale. No floating menus or popups — the car's screen is for driving, not for tapping.

Next waypoint always visible

Side panel with the distance to the next point, category (gas station, shelter, water, hazard) and ETA. You know what's coming without looking at the phone in your hand.

Big speed and heading

Current speed in huge, contrasting type. Text heading (NE, S, SW) and numeric in degrees. Legible from the driver's seat at a glance.

Categorized waypoints

Hazards, gas stations, water, shelter, services — each with its icon and color on the car's map. The category of the next waypoint shows in large text with no abbreviations.

Automatic day / night mode

When the car switches to night mode, so does TriakaMap's view. Dark background, higher contrast route, text adjusted so it doesn't glare on the night route. Syncs with the head unit state.

Live sync with the iPhone

What happens on the phone happens in the car: if the passenger marks a waypoint, it shows up on the head unit instantly. Active route, recorded track, next point — all in a single shared state.

The problem it solves

Looking at the phone on the route is a problem. CarPlay solves it.

When you're driving long trails, mountain crossings or unsigned routes, every glance at the iPhone is a second with your eyes off the road. On technical terrain, a second is enough to land a tire where you don't want it.

With CarPlay, Triaka's nav moves to the car's screen — at eye level, in large size, with info trimmed to the critical. The phone stays in your pocket or charging. You drive looking forward.

  • Screen at eye level
  • Text and map optimized to read while driving
  • Zero distracting notifications
  • iPhone charging in the meantime

When you'll use it

Scenarios where CarPlay makes the difference.

Long 4×4 expedition

Multi-hour trails, mountain crossings, unsigned sections. Having the route on the car's screen frees your eyes from the phone throughout the trip.

Convoy transfer

When you're driving the truck with the UTV on the trailer to the starting point. Waypoints marked, route clear, and you don't have to pull out the phone at every fork.

Co-driver navigating

The passenger handles waypoints from the iPhone and everything reflects on the car's screen live. Teamwork with two views of the same route.

Frequently asked questions

Everything about CarPlay in TriakaMap.

Is it available now?
Yes. CarPlay is enabled in the public version of TriakaMap for iOS. If you have the app installed and updated, you can already use it — just plug the iPhone into the head unit and open Triaka from CarPlay.
Do I need Premium to use CarPlay?
No. CarPlay works with the Free account and Premium equally. What does depend on the plan are the app's features themselves: if you use offline maps in the nav (Premium), those maps also show on the head unit. If you're on Free with GPS and route recording, those same features show up in CarPlay.
Does it work with CarPlay Wireless?
Yes. If your vehicle supports CarPlay Wireless (no cable), TriakaMap works the same. The iPhone connects via Bluetooth/Wi-Fi to the head unit and everything else happens identically.
What about Android Auto?
Android Auto is not available yet. We're evaluating the integration, but for now CarPlay is exclusive to iOS. If you subscribe when signing up, we'll let you know when the Android Auto version ships.
Can I plot routes from the head unit?
No. The route planner stays on the iPhone or the web. CarPlay is designed for navigation — showing the active route, following waypoints, seeing speed and heading. Editing the route on the car's screen would be an unnecessary distraction while driving.
Do offline maps work on CarPlay?
Yes. The maps you downloaded before leaving show on the head unit just like on the iPhone. If you're in a no-signal zone — mountain trails, closed valleys — the nav keeps working without issue on the car's screen.
Can I see group waypoints and hazards on CarPlay?
Yes. If you're in a group with members leaving waypoints or marking hazards, those icons show up on the head unit's map just like on the iPhone. The car's screen is an optimized mirror of your Triaka's live state.
Does it drain much iPhone battery?
When the iPhone is connected via cable, it charges while doing CarPlay — no battery issue. With CarPlay Wireless, consumption is similar to having the app open with the screen off. Either way, we recommend leaving the iPhone on the charger during long trips.
