Carplay - ability to pause or stop direction notifications
Waze repeatedly displays notifications when the Carplay display is set to another app. The way they continually pop up interferes with operation of anything else in the Carplay UI
Ex.: I'm sitting at a light where Waze indicates a left turn. While I wait on the light I go to Spotify to queue up a different album. While doing this Waze will repeatedly interrupt by displaying "left turn 0 feet" or similar notifications with no way to stop them.
This behavior is really obnoxious and there should either be a way to permanently stop any particular notification or cap how…

Make Map Chats readable on Android Auto and CarPlay
Map Chats often contain useful information on lane closures or other hazards, but while their icons show up on the car's nav screen when using CarPlay or Android Auto, they can't be tapped on or read.
It is far more hazardous for me to unplug my phone, open the Waze app, and read the Map Chat than it would be to simply glance at my dash nav and tap the chat - you could even have the phone's TTS read it out while displaying it, then give the option to give it a thumbs-up.

Retirar o Waze de 2º plano ao se desconectar do CarPlay
O Waze continua ativo em segundo plano usando GPS mesmo depois da desconexão do CarPlay. Seria ótimo ter uma opção para encerrar a navegação ou o app automaticamente após sair do carro, economizando bateria e dados

Please add lane guidance to the Heads up display in carplay
Please add lane guidance to the Heads up display in carplay. If we have to look at main display for the lane direction, it makes the heads up display useless. So kindly complete the heads up display support by giving lane guidance on it.

Prevent Constant Navigation pop-up while using other CarPlay apps.
I drive a Mazda CX-5 and whilst the car is in motion the CarPlay touchscreen is disabled and I interact with the interface using a wheel and buttons to move the focus and activate controls.
When using Waze to navigate and switching to music or Spotify or another app Waze will pop up notifications for alerts or upcoming navigation events.
When forced to use the wheel to control the interface this pop up is extremely annoying and interferes with controlling the CarPlay interface. It is so intrusive that I will be navigating songs etc and when I click to activate…

Update Waze so it works with AppleCarPlay. CarPlay allows phone apps to be displayed safely on the car's internal screen, so why not Waze?

Map pinning on iPhone while using CarPlay
Hello Waze team! Please make it available to see/pin routes on iPhone while using CarPlay with Waze together. Im living in the place where I dont know names of streets(and im new to driving) and can only find the spot by using map. I always have to stop somewhere, disconnect my phone from carplay, find and pin the area, then connect back. Its very painful job, especially when traffic is full and there is no place to park. Whenever I start using waze with car play, I dont have an access to map on screen of my phone, cant…

CarPlay + Waze / Cluster Turn-by-turn not showing like it does on Android Auto
When using Waze with CarPlay on a vehicle with turn by turn display on cluster, the Waze don't show any direction, while Android Auto display a full direction.
The car in question is a 2024 GWM Ora 03, but the same happens on a 2023 BMW 320i.
Also, I don't know if this specific Cluster/CarPlay API is available for other apps, but this only works using Apple Maps. Waze or Google Maps doesn't show any direction on the cluster while using Apple car Play.

Barra ETA com problema no Apple CarPlay
Problema com a barra de ETA no Apple CarPlay
Prezados,
Gostaria de relatar um problema recorrente na interface do Waze para Apple CarPlay, relacionado à barra de ETA (horário estimado de chegada, tempo restante e distância até o destino).
Mantenho o aplicativo configurado no modo automático e meu veículo possui sensor crepuscular, portanto o tema do mapa alterna corretamente entre claro e escuro conforme a luminosidade ambiente.
O que ocorre é o seguinte:
• Quando inicio a navegação durante o dia, o mapa fica claro (como esperado), mas ao passar por locais escuros (túneis, estacionamentos, sombras etc.), o mapa…1 vote -
Button customization on Waze with Android Auto & Carplay
• My suggestion is for the following feature: Adaptive Button Placement/Customizable Controls
• My suggestion solves this problem:
• Convenience during Driving: Allowing users to position buttons based on the side of the road they are driving on could make the interface more convenient and accessible, reducing the need for awkward movements while driving.
• Road Safety: Avoiding stretches and dangerous movements to reach buttons could contribute to safer driving, reducing distractions and improving focus on the road.
• Interface Personalization: Allowing users to position buttons as they prefer could offer a more personalized experience, adapting the interface to individual preferences and enhancing overall…

Al usar Waze con CarPlay NO es posible reportar daños en las calles como calles cerradas o eventos en las mismas,
Carplay NO permite reportar eventos en las calles como cierres, o eventos de cierre lo cual hace que el mapa te guie por calles por las cuales NO se puede pasar lo que genera perdida de tiempo y errores en las rutas, Carplay Daña y destruye totalmente esta excelente app debido a sus restricciones sin sentido.

Please add lane guidance to the Heads up display in carplay. If we have to look at main screen for lane guidance, it makes the heads up useless, because many cars have heads up display as the main source of navigation for driver.

Change Waze user interface on CarPlay (with or without Touch screen) to DEFAULT cursor position is ‘Report’.
I have no Touchscreen on CarPlay, controls therefore are scroll buttons on steering wheel. Whenever I’m driving it take several (4 typically) button presses just to toggle the ‘report’ button (like if there is a car on side of road). I’m recommending that the CarPlay cursor defaults to this button so user just presses ONE click to file a report, confirm a warning or whatever - much safer (eyes on road) and more likely to use as it’s a pain & by the time you reach the selected report button on screen, hazard is past / behind you.

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.

Opción de elegir el mapa de día o mapa de noche dese Waze en Apple CarPlay

Freezing when connected to Apple Carplay.

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.
