Install Game Maps IRL from the App Store, allow precise location, connect your iPhone to CarPlay, launch Game Maps IRL, choose West Coast, and set the route before the car moves.
A GTA San Andreas map on CarPlay can make an ordinary city route feel like a return to a classic open-world era. West Coast is the original Game Maps IRL theme built around that mood, combining warm terrain, palm-lined energy and bold point-of-interest markers.
Real streets, San Andreas-inspired styling
West Coast does not install the fictional San Andreas map in your vehicle. It styles the real roads, places and position around you. The recognizable influence lives in the colors and map character, not in copied geography or official game art.
This approach keeps the dashboard practical. Your destination remains a real address, while the visual treatment makes the trip feel less generic.

Add Game Maps IRL to the first CarPlay page
On iPhone, go to Settings → General → CarPlay → your vehicle → Customize. Add Game Maps IRL if it is hidden, then move it higher in the app order. Reconnect to refresh the vehicle display.
Wired CarPlay is useful on long trips because it charges the iPhone. Wireless CarPlay is convenient for quick routes. The West Coast theme works through either connection when your hardware supports it.
Choose between the two GTA-inspired styles
| Theme | Look |
|---|---|
| West Coast | San Andreas-inspired warmth, sunset color and classic coastal character |
