Report alerts in Apple CarPlay
When navigating through Apple CarPlay, when the user clicks on an alert, the alert icons automatically appear, but after the user clicks on one of them, more options appear in the form of a list. The user often has to scroll down to find the type of alert, which causes distraction and risk of accidents. Therefore, I ask that you change the format of the second alert screen, leaving it the same as the first, that is, the options next to each other. Thanks.

Report Road Closure on Apple Car play
The amount of times I get stuck because of a road closure and it will not suggest a new route because I can’t report it! I end up driving miles away for it to update for a new route! Please fix this!!! Sick of getting stuck!

Apple CarPlay shortcut for reporting a hazard
To report a hazard (ie pothole) requires 4 clicks. Would be great if there was a few one click shortcuts to report the most common hazards such as a pothole, police, and vehicle stopped on side of road. This would be much safer than fumbling around to report a pothole while driving.

Voice search button for destinations using apple carplay.
Carplay voice input was taken away (microphone icon). I can no longer search via voice for directions to any place. Now I can only use iphone maps or google maps. Seems strange to remove a vital feature as now I cannot get directions to places with my voice.

Make speed limit larger on apple carplay
I have read the responses to this issue. It seems to be a bot responding as:
Thank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already displays a speedometer, including both your driving speed and the speed limit for the road you’re currently on.
That is NOT the issue. Just remove the speedometer and make the speed limit LARGER. Like it appears on Google Maps, which owns Waze.

Be able to correct fuel prices in Apple CarPlay
Before getting a car with Apple CarPlay ( have iPhone Xs Max IOS 16.7.2, Waze v 4.103) I was able to bring up and correct fuel prices of petrol stations I just visited / passed. Now with CarPlay, that option has gone.

Following the update of my Apple phone 12 Pr Max to IOS 16, currently 16.1 there is considerable battery drain and overheating of the phone
Eversince I updated my iphone 12 pro max to IOS is whenever I use Apple Carplay and especially WAZE the phone overheats significantly in a very short timespan and also the battery drops dramatically in no time.
Is Waze aware of this problem ? Are they doing something to fix it.
The same issue does not occur when I use other navigation software’s in Apple Carplay.Please fix it as I can not continue using Waze with such dramatic battery use and overheating of the phone!

Please work with Ford and Sync so that Waze will work with an Android phone. Apple is not the only OS
Please allow for Android operation with Ford Sync the same way is works with IOS. I am not an apple fan but would like to have the same options as there are with iOS.

apple car waze speed camera radar warning box
In Apple Car Play box with “speed camera - thanks - not there” dialog covers the box with ETA - distance to destination box. If there’s a lot of radar warnings the big box is present on the screen almost permanently.
I suggest to move the box with ETA and distance to destination to the right bottom side or make the radar warning box smaller.1 vote -

"Watch out, multiple alerts ahead"
If there was a vehicle stopped on road and a cop in the vicinity, Waze will only alert me of the cop. There should be multiple alerts that could be given to me at once.

Banner notifications
I would be great if a banner notification would show if the app was running in the background and a turn was approaching. Apple maps does this, and if Waze did it, there would be no reason to use Apple maps ever again.
79 votesGreat thinking! We’ll share with the team; they’re always interested in new feature ideas.

Adjust the font size on Apple Carplay when viewing the suggested routes
The font is too big on the suggested routes page on Apple Carplay meaning that it's not possible to see the journey time and distance for each of the suggested routes. The text is truncated. I have to unplug my phone from the car to see the full route information.
Please reformat the text on the suggested routes page on Carplay so the information is not truncated.2 votes -

Apple car user experience
When you tap buttons to zoom out the map for example you can go back to navigation by tapping Done on the upper right corner but the Stop Button is placed at the same upper right corner (same color) so I frequently end up navigation by hitting Stop accidentally when I just wanted to resume navigation

Apple CarPlay Alerts
Alerts are dangerous! Hear me out. I love the alerts. I missed two mattresses on the highway today alone. However, with everyone reporting things, I found myself seeing an alert when I was inside of 1 mile to an exit on the highway. Driving in larger metropolitan areas can be tricky with multiple turns and exits in succession. On the current update, both the navigation and duration boxes disappear to show an alert for 0.5 miles. 30 seconds on the highway as you approach an exit you don’t know creates a dangerous situation leading to last minute lane changes.

BUG: Apple route direction "stack" on phone not updating during drive
When using Apple Carplay, the latest version is NOT updating the text direction "stack" seen on the phone while driving. Previous versions would remove the turns after they've been completed. The only way to get the stack updated is to toggle to road reports then toggle back to the directions on the phone.
