Google Maps not Moving While Driving

Hello. Wanting to know if anyone can assist with issue with using Google maps via car play. This is for a 2021 X3 with newest iPhone. For some reason, I connect to CarPlay and see Google maps on screen but when I drive it doesn�t move. No triangle movement.

Is there a setting in the car or on phone I need to check? If anyone has patience providing everything that I should check (car settings or iPhone settings somewhere) please let me know. Thank you.

In the wireless charging tray. Would it make a difference where I put it in car?

The first time I use a phone after connecting it to Carplay, Waze doesn�t work properly until I launch the app from the phone. It will either give me a blank map or it won�t track my motion. After launching it that first time it seems to launch itself and behave on subsequent connections. Might try that if you haven�t already.

Did you try rebooting the phone? Or uninstalling Google Maps and reinstalling.
