2026 CR-V Hybrid – CarPlay navigation showing opposite direction (going east, shows west) – car issue or phone issue?

Hey everyone, hoping someone has experienced this.

I have a 2026 CR-V Hybrid with about 1,300 miles on it. I've been noticing a recurring issue with CarPlay navigation where the direction shown on the map is completely opposite to where I'm actually heading. For example, if I'm driving east, the app shows me going west.

A full restart of the car fixes the issue temporarily, but it comes back again within the same week. This has been happening repeatedly.

Two days ago I switched to Android Auto and haven't been able to reproduce the problem so far — which makes me wonder whether this is actually a CarPlay/iPhone issue rather than something wrong with the car itself.

My question: Has anyone experienced something similar? Do you think this is a head unit/vehicle issue, or is it on the CarPlay/iPhone side? I'd rather not take it to the dealer if it turns out to be a phone problem.

Any insight appreciated. Thanks!
