Car version
We propose that Waze introduce a native standalone version for modern vehicles running Android-based systems and HarmonyOS, optimized for large built-in displays and in-car connectivity, without relying on Android Auto or Apple CarPlay.
This would significantly improve the in-vehicle user experience and expand Waze’s reach across new OEM automotive platforms.1 vote -
Ios26 liquid glass makes eta panel illegible in light mode
Hello,
I am beta testing ios26 and it makes the ETA panel liquid glass in carplay in both light and dark mode. In light mode, this is a problem because white text on a glass panel over a white background becomes illegible. Please fix this if possible.1 vote -
Adding zooming capability
Hi I'm using in my car for waze navigation an android 10 device carplay UX999MAX. The device doesn't support multi-touch therefore I can't perform zooming out/in. It would be amazing if you add the the apps an icon +/- to enable such capability. Thanks Shamai

PLEASE add Estimated Time of Arrival via SMS on mobile phone and on Apple Carplay and Android Auto without the use of a phone.
Please add ETA via SMS alerting the person that I am running late or increased traffic ahead and a SMS to be sent automatically through my phone to notify that I am running late.
Sometimes notification through the app its not that reliable as most of my friends does not have Waze installed nor they did not notice a notification but noticed more when a notification is sent through SMS.
When this feature is added please give us an option to choose between sent ETA via APP or if detected without a waze app it automatically sent notification through SMS.…

Distance
When CarPlay is in tiled mode (where it shows what song is playing and Waze only has half the screen) Waze shows me the ETA and the minutes remaining—distance remaining is left off due to the smaller screen real estate. Since I can derive time remaining from the ETA, how about showing distance remaining instead? So instead of:
10:31am 42 min
show:
10:31am 35 miles3 votes -

Railroad Crossing Alert
With the latest software on iOS/CarPlay (version 4.103.1.1), when I receive an alert for a railroad crossing and I close it by pressing the Close button, it keeps popping up until I cross over the railroad crossing. My daily commute involves a railroad crossing that I pass over everyday and the ONLY way to close the alert is to ignore it and eventually it closes on its own.

Weather summary for current location and/or destination location
On the map screen (phone and CarPlay screen) there should be a weather summary (temp and forecast for rain/snow/etc) for either your either your current location or your destination location. Maybe have a spot in the settings to turn this option on/off and which location you want the weather information for.

Suggestion for improvements to the charging station search on Waze
Dear Sir/Madam,
With the proliferation of electric vehicles, it is crucial to optimize the charging station search on Waze to make it a recommended reference. Below, I propose specific improvements to enhance this feature.AA CarPlay / Displaying power, not speed status
Currently, on Android Auto, I notice that Waze displays vague indications ("Fast", "Medium", "Very Fast") rather than the power in kW. I would like the exact power to be indicated to better inform users.App / Displaying availability on the map
This feature, which was previously available, has disappeared. I find that displaying the number of free connectors…

Vehicule type shorcutcut
Hi!
I often switch between motorbike and private car.
The ETA is different because of traffic jam.
It could be easier and faster if we could make an ios shortcut wich could switch it.
Then with an automation like when you plug any carplay device, switch to private car. and when you unplug it, switch again to motorbike.ChatGPT told me to do it opening url with devicetype but its doesnt work.

Waze Ideas
Make it to where Waze on CarPlay or even on mobile has cool holiday and season effects like snow or leaves falling during the fall, something to make it more enjoyable, or make it to where the map can turn to snow and there’s props throughout the map like snowmen, igloos or whatever.

Indicate sub-menus for reporting
When reporting something (in CarPlay) you have to select categories and specific options. From the icon it’s not possible to see which is which. This sometimes results in me sending an incorrect report as I’m trying to find the best match for the situation.
Adding a small triangle or something to the icons of sub-menus would help with this.

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.

Redesigning the UI in CarPlay so alerts don’t cover up the ETA and force me to click “not here”
Alerts such as road hazards, stalled vehicles, and police presence currently cover up the arrival time and often force me to click “still here” or “not here” before I’ve arrived at the event. not sure if you use that feedback at all, but mine is often inaccurate because of that. Doesn’t seem like it needs to cover up the ETA information.

Improve location of command bottons on Waze for Android Automotive (AAOS)
Command bottons are currently located in the upper right hand side of the screen, which makes difficult to use when driving. It would be much better if the command bottons would be placed in the bottom side of the screen, because it would make it more ergonomic to use (like it happens in Apple CarPlay version).

Navigate to dropped pin
On BMW (OS8.5) and CarPlay it is not possible to touch map/display and mark a pin and navigate to it. Search for address or voice command with address is only possible. It would be much easier to mark pin and go in some cases when you do not know the address or you don't need address.

Copilot feature
I have a suggestion that I think would be excellent and differentiating from other applications. This is a functionality that could be called "Copilot", and that allows a device with a Waze account to establish a new destination to a different device. For example, I have Waze on my device while I'm driving, and my wife can set a new destination for me from her own device without having to touch mine, for that reason I thought the function could be called "Copilot".
This same functionality would also be very useful when navigating with CarPlay, so that I can…

Card novos no Android Auto
Android Auto no Brasil foi atualizado e agora se parece muito com Apple carplay. Existem cards como Google Mapas, Spotify... Mas senti falta do card do Waze. Hoje é o aplicativo de mapas que utilizo, mas com essa nova mudança ficou muito mais prático e bonito a utilização do Mapas do Google. Que tal implementar o mesmo design ao Waze e voltar a ser o mais top?
