Google maps apart of Mercedes Benz app

In the newest iOS app update it now uses Google maps inside the app. It’s so much better! I wonder when Mbux will get this same treatment?

In the press release, it indicates at lease some hope for some Google features for MBUX people:

"As a first step, Mercedes-Benz will give customers access to Place Details provided by Google, helping them find detailed information about more than 200 million businesses and places around the world, including business hours, photos, ratings, and reviews. Place Details will be available starting today in all vehicles with the latest generation of MBUX in applicable markets¹."

¹All Generation 2020 MBUX (NTG7) vehicles with navigation in connect markets except China, Japan and Korea. Series: 223, 206, 295, 297, 296, 294, 254, 232, 177 (from production 12/2022, model year 22/2), W247 (from production 12/2022, model year 22/2), V167 (from production 12/2022, model year 22/2).

Which iOS version are you referring to? I am on 18.3.1 and my MMe app is still using Apple Maps. Could be because I am in a different market? Or, is there a way to set map preference for MMe? If there is, I haven't found it yet...

It's not the iOS version. They switched to Google Maps sometime within the last year, but yes this is for the US/Canada version of the app. Not sure if they did the same in other markets. I know the app is not the same in every market. The latest app version for us is 3.53.0. I was going through the version history to see if I can find where the switch happened, but it's not specifically mentioned, except several releases over the last year mention map rendering improvements. There have been several UI changes over the last year. Home screen was redesigned, they added an iOS widget, changed the map to Google Maps added Live Activities for charging status and other new features. There's also an Apple Watch app again now.
