It is crucial to make Field Maps app available on Carplay and Android Auto in-dash vehicle display 

Apps like OnX and many others are available for car and truck's consoles but field maps isn't yet. A company the size and importance of Esri can definitely work with Apple and Google to make that available as soon as possible. Extremely important for field crews.

Interesting idea - I don't believe ESRI has plans to support navigation in Field Maps, instead kicking you over to the default system app for that purpose.  However I could definitely see some use cases where it would be super handy to be able to quickly collect a point with some pre-configured options via the in-dash display.  Things like pavement management and debris surveys come to mind.

Yeah, our foresters are asking to be able to navigate to their tracts ands stands using Field Maps on their car dashes. It would be super useful.

While the navigation piece would be great I would be happy having Field Maps on Carplay just to see where I am in relationship to a bunch of survey points on my map has I travel around our ownership.

This is essential. Viewing field data from the vehicle is pertinent to being able to spatially understand different ownerships and areas that have data from the past or that others have collected. From a Stumpage buyer's perspective this is essential when data is parceled, statewide, and group memebers are constantly driving by it.

onX Offroad already has this capability.

Agreed. Large potential for field crews on long linear projects.
