Yea BMW definitely integrates modern tech the best. I drive 7 was fantastic. I drive 8 feels like a step backwards.

i got used to idrive 8 in the x7 and enjoyed it

I’m in a loaner 2 series today. Only thing I dislike is the climate controls. I actually think the integration of climate controls in the GX550 better. But integration of maps in the dash is leaps and bounds better in BMWs.

Is it just Apple Maps that also shows up in HUD? No google?

I haven’t been able to get Google maps to work and just wanted to check if that’s others’ experience as well

From what I've read on other car forums, that's correct. Only Apple Maps will show up on the HUD, Google Maps and Waze will not.

Some recent news say android auto is adding support for HUD display in some cars.

Google Maps for Android Auto expands directions, arrival time with new instrument cluster pop-up in some vehicles

Android Auto has a new Google Maps heads-up mini pane that indicates distance, travel time, estimated arrival time, and directions.

Anyone seen it working on gx yet or knows more about ?

Well color me surprised but when using google maps with CarPlay today it showed up in my hud. It hasn’t before today so must be some sort of update my phone did.

I believe to get the CarPlay directions in the Hud you have to have a console configuration that does not include the navigation pane active - it's either that or you need to configure the HUD to full or some other combo of settings. It's the best.
