Google somewhat acknowledged this last year, adjusting language across the platform to better work with other types of vehicles. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Motorcycles are probably the biggest example here. Support has been in place for several years at this point, but it\u2019s not exactly an optimized experience. That\u2019s where third-party Sygic is stepping in to lend a hand, with a new navigation experience on Android Auto and CarPlay that\u2019s tailored to motorcycle riders.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Available now, the v26.4 update for Sygic adds support for Android Auto and CarPlay as a navigation alternative to apps like Google Maps and Apple Maps on motorcycles with support for either platform. The app includes data that riders might want to know, such as weather, elevation, and alternate scenic routes.<\/p>\n<p>\t<span class=\"outbrain-ad-label\">Advertisement &#8211; scroll for more content<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" height=\"512\" width=\"1024\" data-id=\"720900\" src=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/sygic-carplay-motorcycle-2.png?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-720900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/sygic-carplay-motorcycle-2.png 1400w, https:\/\/9to5google.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/sygic-carplay-motorcycle-2.png?resize=155,78 155w, https:\/\/9to5google.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/sygic-carplay-motorcycle-2.png?resize=700,350 700w, https:\/\/9to5google.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/sygic-carplay-motorcycle-2.png?resize=768,384 768w, https:\/\/9to5google.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/sygic-carplay-motorcycle-2.png?resize=1024,512 1024w, https:\/\/9to5google.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/sygic-carplay-motorcycle-2.png?resize=350,175 350w, https:\/\/9to5google.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/sygic-carplay-motorcycle-2.png?resize=140,70 140w, https:\/\/9to5google.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/sygic-carplay-motorcycle-2.png?resize=290,145 290w, https:\/\/9to5google.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/sygic-carplay-motorcycle-2.png?resize=600,300 600w, https:\/\/9to5google.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/sygic-carplay-motorcycle-2.png?resize=150,75 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"512\" width=\"1024\" data-id=\"720899\" src=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/sygic-android-auto-motorcycle-2.png?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-720899\" srcset=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/sygic-android-auto-motorcycle-2.png 1400w, https:\/\/9to5google.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/sygic-android-auto-motorcycle-2.png?resize=155,78 155w, https:\/\/9to5google.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/sygic-android-auto-motorcycle-2.png?resize=700,350 700w, https:\/\/9to5google.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/sygic-android-auto-motorcycle-2.png?resize=768,384 768w, https:\/\/9to5google.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/sygic-android-auto-motorcycle-2.png?resize=1024,512 1024w, https:\/\/9to5google.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/sygic-android-auto-motorcycle-2.png?resize=350,175 350w, https:\/\/9to5google.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/sygic-android-auto-motorcycle-2.png?resize=140,70 140w, https:\/\/9to5google.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/sygic-android-auto-motorcycle-2.png?resize=290,145 290w, https:\/\/9to5google.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/sygic-android-auto-motorcycle-2.png?resize=600,300 600w, https:\/\/9to5google.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/sygic-android-auto-motorcycle-2.png?resize=150,75 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sygic explains:<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sygic has also developed unique pulsing visual alerts that help riders immediately notice important route events, including accidents, hazards and changing weather conditions.
