With such a feature we'll be enabled to drastically reduce the glare caused by overly…

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).
Thanks.1 vote -
pothole
The most common things I report are vehicles on side of road and potholes. Its frustrating the potholes is below the fold in the CarPlay screen, meaning that I have to scroll to get to it. It would be great if it was up higher. It would even be better if you had a setting where you could order the list how you wanted but that is a pipedream. I know it's possible as I build apps myself ;-)

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.

In the UK the Best Radio app is RADIOPLAYER
Is it possible to Intigrate RADIOPLAYER app into Waze as it is by far the best app in the UK and you can add all your own radio stations without any problems and best of all it is totally FREE, It is also on Carplay but not on your app to add to screen

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 -
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…

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.

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…

Add more than one stop
Being unable to add only one stop makes Waze secondary to Maps and renders it obsolete. The way it is designed makes it a fun app, not an applicable tool. I will be removing Waze from my Honda’s CarPlay and try to figure out how to use Maps. I find it essential to have ALL stops included in my trips; I don’t have the time during a “trip” to get out my phone to keep renavigating.

False data due to UI
When sitting in heavy traffic, it blocks the view of ETA status until an alert ‘still there’ or ‘not there’ is not selected, in CarPlay mode.
This makes people report false data just to get back to the ETA screen. They don’t even know if that alert is present or not, leading to various occasions of false data.
Suggestion: to enable that pop up in heavy traffic once the user is closer to that located bubble.

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?

Support for dimensions and combinations such as caravans
I propose that Waze allows users to save multiple vehicles, each with their own dimensions, including height, width, and length. It should also be possible to add vehicle combinations, such as a car with a caravan or trailer, where the additional dimensions are automatically taken into account during route planning.
Users could then manually select the appropriate vehicle or combination before starting a trip, or Waze could automatically detect the vehicle via CarPlay or Android Auto.
It is essential that Waze takes infrastructure limitations into account—such as bridge heights, narrow roads, sharp turns, and low tunnels—so that any routes that…

Bring back "wrong speed limit" report
I'm using Apple CarPlay if that changes anything.
Some years ago, I could report "wrong speed limit". Now there is no report button like this and it causes the entire reporting worflow much longer: I report a general issue, then someone finds it, asks me what the issue is about (and I don't always remember if it was about the limit), and then I reply and they fix it. It could be just 1 click and then someone fixes it - much faster!

audio
When streaming audio carplay/waze pauses it for an announcement. But the pause is almost delayed 1-2 seconds and I miss out on what is said. It would be best if when audio is paused waze was either more accurate in its pausing or go back ~3-5 seconds when restarting. So as to not miss what is said. I think part of the issue is the fading out of audio.

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.

Was there an update?
Using CarPlay the option to look at and choose alternate routes is gone. It has been replaced with a second magnifying glass to search for addresses/locations.
Also, on the app on the telephone, you can see alternate routes, but you are unable to choose one different than the one Waze has picked for you.
Was there an update? If so, how can we undo it?
