OK; there's the problem. When I am using Apple Car Play my iPhone needs both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connection to the car (128ti). All good!

BUT if I try to navigate using Apple Maps then the phone tries to get navigation directions from the web via the wifi connection (rather than its 4G/5G data connection) Because I don't have a data plan for the car it won't connect to the net therefore no directions. The ONLT solution i have found is to switch off the wifi for a moment and then switch on again. Not elegant!

Anyone else had the same problem - or better yet, fixed it?
