Route icon moved from the top to the right in Apple CarPlay. Please move back icon back to the top to reduce driving focus.
Waze app was recently updated in July 2023 (~ver 4.96.1) and Route icon moved from the top to the right in Apple CarPlay. Please move back icon back to the top. My Acura uses a round dial to navigate Apple CarPlay and is not a touch screen. Previously it was a simple rotate to the right while drive to find alternate driving routes, but now it takes several clicks causing a major distraction to driving focus.

Night mode issue
Previously with CarPlay set to Dark mode (which I think makes it easier to see CarPlay functions), Waze when set to “Auto” showed daytime maps when light outside and night versions of maps when dark out (at night or in a garage). Lately, Waze only shows night versions of maps unless CarPlay is set to light mode. I have always had CarPlay on dark mode and this was not an issue. Also note that both Apple Maps and Google Maps show daytime versions of their maps when it is daylight outside even with CarPlay on dark mode, just as Waze…

Option to submit reports via phone app while using CarPlay
It’s so much easier (therefore safer) for me to navigate a menu on my phone than on my car’s touchscreen dashboard; it’s harder to report on the car touchscreen because it’s farther away, less responsive, and the teeny tiniest little bump can move my finger and make me hit the wrong thing, so it keeps my eyes and focus off the road for longer than if I can just click through a menu on my phone with my thumb with a couple quick glances.
Currently, in order to use my phone for reports while using CarPlay I have to unplug…

Apple Carplay waze en google maps
Het zou goed zijn om te weten in welke straat we aan het rijden zijn doormiddel van een apparte vak te tonen !
Ook zou het leuk zijn om te weten wat de volgende afslag wordt en welke de volgende straat is en of kruising !
Het tonen van verkeersborden zou ook Ideaal zijn ( eenrichtingsverkeer, verbod om in te halen, voorrangsweg, ... etc ) !

Turn by turn list directions
When using waze and android auto there is no way to see the turn by turn list of direction like when using the waze app alone. Also, my wife uses apple and carplay and as soon as she connects to waze via carplay her turn by turn list directions appear on her phone screen while the graphical interface of waze appears on the carplay screen simultaneously. Please provide a way to see the list of directions on android auto too. It is very important for planning a trip.

Enable Speech-to-Text for Map Update Requests While Driving (via Android Auto and CarPlay)
I would like to suggest an improvement to Waze that would allow users to fill out map update requests (URs) using speech-to-text while driving, particularly when connected through Android Auto or CarPlay.
Currently, when users select a map update option (such as "Incorrect address," "Missing road," or "Speed limit") while driving, there is no way to add a description of the issue. This limits the ability to provide detailed reports and often results in incomplete information being submitted. With speech-to-text functionality, users could quickly and safely dictate descriptions of the problem without having to stop or manually type anything.

Waze shuts down radio with each prompt with Apple CarPlay. Distracting to find the station button after each and every prompt. Fix this.
I would like to use Waze with CarPlay but it shuts off the radio with each prompt and I have to select the channel again after each prompt on my Subaru. What gives? Very distracting....

UX change to notifications display on CarPlay
Can the notifications that display for warnings such as roadworks, pot holes, etc., be changed to show square buttons next to eachother rather than long thin buttons above one another, as they are quite hard to press with your left hand (UK driver). Making the buttons square would be soooooo much easier to press and less error prone to fat fingers :)

Make report button on Apple CarPlay larger
The option keeps getting smaller on my accords display but when I pull the app up on my phone it’s much larger. It would help making the report button larger especially when driving

Buttons for confirm/dismiss -For CarPlay
Have confirm/dismiss buttons in larger “square” shaped format side by side rather than 2 long skinny rectangles on top of each other. More prone to accidentally clicking the wrong one while driving because there is little space for error while clicking. If they were decent sized 2 squares side by side, easier to click the correct one.

Apple CarPlay Audio Pause Issue
It is more of an issue than an idea.
It is a Waze app issue when it runs on Apple car play.I have a Nissan X Trail 2024 GCC model.
I daily use the app while commuting.
I also use a usb flash drive audio playing at the background.Issue: When Waze gives me alert e.g. speed change alert or any other alert

Reporting Turns of Apple Music in CarPlay
Since the "Talk to Report" feature was introduced for user reporting of road hazards etc, as soon as I touch the Report button Music stops and Waze chimes in. This works, but the music won't turn back on. This regardless of the fact that "Talk to Report" is turned off in settings on the iOS App. So far the only cure for Music is to reset the phone (and never report again)! This is a shame, as I like to be part of the community, but the current price is too high.
