    Anyone tried ZapMap Premium to get Apple CarPlay?

    Trying to load ZapMap in my car today for the first time and noticed it refuses to load. I've read up on it and understand you require a Premium subscription to use it via Apple CarPlay. Has anyone tried it, and if so, do you think its worth it?
