This post is from the WWDC26 CarPlay Q&A.

For apps that display significant points of interest for a specific category, say breweries, or the places the user frequently visits, what is the best category to submit against the entitlement form?

These apps are not quite navigation as they invoke Apple Maps, and they’re not for finding “parking” but a different type of map item category.

The app would display specific markers for these map items, voice to search, and then link to Apple Maps for directions. This compliments existing iOS apps. I don’t want to encourage phone usage and being voice search and positional awareness to nearby POI that matter to the CarPlay screen.

At this time we don't have a specific category for point-of-interest apps, but it's great feedback for future consideration. If you're able to file a Feedback Assistant request (with an example like the one above of what you are looking to create) that would be helpful too. Thanks.
