CarPlay

Connect your iPhone to a CarPlay-equipped vehicle and CamoAg appears on the car screen as a full map you can drive from. Everything is reachable in one or two taps, and anything you can’t tap for safely — like typing — falls back to voice. View the full playlist of YouTube videos on using CamoAg in CarPlay here, or watch the overview of the CamoAg app with CarPlay.

​

The map screen

When CamoAg opens in the car you land on the browsing map, showing the same data layers you have turned on in the phone app. While a route is running, an Exit button appears at the top right to cancel navigation, and CamoAg shows an arrival alert when you reach the destination.

​

Explore

Explore is the hub. Tapping it opens a grid of eight buttons: The first four buttons are the Nearby lists. Each one searches a half-mile box around your current location, and if nothing turns up there it widens the search automatically — to four miles for contacts, operations, and farms, and to one mile for parcels. Results come back sorted nearest-first, and the list appears immediately with a “Loading…” state while the search runs.

​

Contacts

Lists the CRM contacts nearest to you, each row showing the contact’s name and address. Customer contacts and prospects carry different icons so you can tell them apart at a glance. Tapping a row opens the contact card with:

• Call — dials the contact’s primary phone, when they have one.
• Directions — routes to their primary address. Contacts whose only address is a PO box don’t get a Directions button, since there’s nowhere to drive.

See Contacts for the full contact record on the phone.

​

Operations

Lists the farm operations nearest to you. The card shows the operation name, its category, whether it’s Saved to your organization or still an unsaved CamoAg operation, and its primary address.

• Contacts — opens the contacts tied to that operation; tap one to open its card.
• Save — appears only for unsaved operations, and mirrors Save to Edit in the phone app: it copies the operation into your organization so you can edit it.
• Directions — routes to the operation’s primary address.

See Operations for more.

​

Farms

Lists your nearest saved farms. The card shows the farm name, its coordinates, county and state, the number of parcels in it, and gross acres, with Directions routing to the center of the farm. See Farms for more.

​

Parcels

Lists the parcels nearest to you. The card shows the parcel’s display name, coordinates, county and state, and gross acres. The parcel card offers one of two buttons depending on what CamoAg finds:

• Contacts — when the parcel’s address already has contacts attached, this opens them.
• Save Contact — when it doesn’t, this creates a prospect contact from the parcel owner, the same as Save as a Contact on the phone. It requires permission to edit contacts.

See Parcels for more.

​

Recents

Everything you open — on the phone or in the car — lands in Recents, so picking up where you left off doesn’t mean searching again. Each row shows the record’s name and a short subtitle, and tapping it reopens the detail card. If you haven’t viewed anything yet, the screen reads “No Recents — Items you view will appear here.”

​

Search

Search looks across contacts, operations, farms, and parcels at once. Results come back grouped by type — Contacts, Operations, Farms, Parcels — with the two closest matches in each group. Groups with no matches are left out.

​

Layers

Layers is the CarPlay version of the map filters on your phone, split into two sections. Changes take effect on the car map immediately and stay in sync with the phone.

​

Settings

Two toggles, both of which take effect right away:

• Orientation → North Always Up — on keeps north at the top of the map; off rotates the map to the direction you’re driving. This is the same preference as Default Compass Behavior in the phone app’s Settings.
• Audio Settings → Mute Voice Directions — silences spoken turn-by-turn guidance without ending the route.

​

Getting directions

Tap Directions on any detail card and CamoAg cancels whatever route is running, returns to the map, and previews the new route before starting turn-by-turn guidance.
