I downloaded the CarPlay Simulator from Additional Tools for Xcode 27, but I can't find a way to test the navigation banners on the left or right side
Several users have complained, and one of them finally sent me a photo. It looks fine in my simulator but not on their CarPlay screen
How do we test those edge cases scenarios?
This is my Simulator, looks fine
And this is user's photo clearly showing the navigation banners in a different position
Click on where it says "Standard" in your CarPlay Simulator screenshot (in the toolbar at the top left of the window). Then click "Manage" next to "Custom Configurations". That will show a configuration editor which contains a setting for "Driving Orientation". You can rename that configuration (such as "Standard Right") and then save / use the configuration.
For the issue shown, you should check the safe area of the map's window to determine the rectangle where to place the arrow and upcoming section of the route.
