layout of responses to alerts in apple carplay
My suggestion is to put responses (like roadworks "Thanks"/ "Still there?") side by side as when its in list view the finger is bouncing up and down with the motion of the car and I always need to focus a bit more than I like on the touch screen vs looking at the road. Having it in a left/right view you would eliminate the potential of a wrong input as the motion of the car doesn't affect it (unless you are in heavy cornering, by when it's probably wise to have both hands on the wheel ;-) )
cheers

Activate voice input when report button is pushed in Android Auto/Carplay or phone app
I would like the report button to start listening for voice prompts when pushed on the phone or android auto/carplay. I use Google Assistant for most reports and by the time I say “Ok Google” then wait for the prompt, then use voice reporting the pin is dropped significantly beyond what I was trying to report. Fumbling around with android auto to find the correct category is less safe and less direct than voice reporting and I usually end up hitting the wrong category.

Waze is basically unusable since the last update
Waze keeps on crashing on the first use in CarPlay. Waze engineers apparently can’t figure out a fix in a timely manner. Use a previous version of the app that worked with CarPlay, label it as an updated version and submit it to Apple so it can be used again with CarPlay.

Speed cameras / radars notifications on iOS CarPlay only over speed limit.
Hi there,
I live in Dubai, where you can go up to 20km/h over the speed limit before the speed camera / radar actually jumps. There is a speed camera / radar each kilometer, so the amount of alerts you get on the CarPlay display is HUGE.
Also, I saw that you can configure Waze to inform about the speed limit on different speeds and level, like "+5km/h" or similar.
I would like to suggest the same regarding the speed camera / radar alerts, as I want to get informed but only when / if I go over a certain…

We're not sure what you meant and would love to get more details.

Flip or swap speed to other side of screen (for CarPlay) and/or make speed limit as big as actual speed.
Hi. Love Waze, but this idea is one of three that would take it from good to great for me...
Problem: For RH Drive vehicles, especially with CarPlay or where the phone is mounted to the left of the steering wheel, the speed limit (as opposed to actual speed) is too hard to read quickly while driving.
Some solutions:
1) A simple option to flip (or swap) the speed widget to the other side of the screen... and / or
2) An option that displays the speed limit the same size as the actual speed, perhaps partly tucked behind the…4 votes -
Better organized CarPlay screen for reporting traffic issues
Describing traffic issues while driving needs to be done quickly, so the driver isn’t distracted too long. I feel at least 20 buttons should be shown on the screen right away to report conditions, instead of 5 that ‘open’ into related scenarios. So 1st column is the 5 most important police issues, the 2nd column is the 5 most important emergency vehicle issues, the 3rd column is the 5 most important crash or stopped vehicle issues, the 4th column is the 5 most important road surface condition issues, and the 5th column is the 5 most important ‘other’ issues.

ETA Box should never be hidden.

Tried Waze on IOS 12 with CarPlay. (I am beta testing Waze). Works great. Two things I notice. You cannot see on the cars screen all the turns you will be making, you have to look at your phone (not safe for driving. Also cannot say OK Waze to send a report.

Siri Shortcuts for reporting - PLEASE
How about enabling Siri interaction so users can report things hands-free? “Siri, tell Waze to report police” or “Siri, tell Waze to report a stopped vehicle on the shoulder” would be a lot safer and easier while driving than fumbling with the phone or CarPlay UI. Please consider it.

Waze app bug - super annoying
app runs in background after disconnecting from Apple CarPlay. Please fix this! It’s a battery killer, and super annoying to have to manually close after every trip. It’s enough to uninstall the app.

Move Alerts and Reporting to phone
It would be nice to have the option to replace or share the phone screen with alerts, there/not there, and reporting when using CarPlay. This would give the ability to manage them without having to reach for the CarPlay unit.

Need an update for overheating phone!!
When using Waze on CarPlay it causes my phone to heat up quickly and end up stop charging and kills my battery ( 40% in an hour) by running Waze on CarPlay. This needs addressed. It started happening after the iOS 16 update and doesn’t do it with any other navigation app or any other app period.
Please fix this. Oh and add stop signs yield signs and traffic lights to the app as well.

Controls on phone when using android auto or carplay
I'm a waze user paired with android auto device. I think it would be alot better if you are able to make it so you can control waze with your mobile device and see the map with android auto, google maps started doing this and it feels like waze is missing this opportunity. It would be great if you can end drives, start drives, see turns up ahead on the phone while using AA while the main map is displayed on AA

Signalement depuis le téléphone
Avec CarPlay, il n'est pas possible de signaler qu'une route est fermée. Serait-il possible de conserver les boutons d'alertes et la possibilité de le faire depuis le téléphone même s'il est connecté en CarPlay.
ça permettrait également au passager de le faire.1 vote -
