Default New NX200T owner question

Just got a 2017 NX200T (picking up in the next day or two). Not my first Lexus (previously had 3 RX350, then a CT Hybrid (big mistake for me), then went to two Toyota Venzas) but coming back.
Anyway, I did not get the Sport model (did not like the seats) and did not bother with the Nav package. I assume that my iPhone 7 will properly connect for navigation directions and music via Bluetooth as it did on my previous Toyota cars. But I have read that certain navigation apps will work with the built in screen to show directions.
(1) Is this correct? If so, what app or apps will sync and show on the screen and how do they work (compared to Apple Maps and Google Maps, assuming those two don't)?
Thanks, Steve

It sucks compared to Google Maps/Apple Mals/Waze. The map disappears after you start guidance and you literally only see turn-by-turn info.

I agree, the app really sucks. You better get a good mount for your phone and use Waze or other navigation of your choice.

You're right; that is truly a horrible implementation of what it could have been.
