  1. 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?

  2. 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.

  3. 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

  5. apple carplay

    Waze does not display routes when connected to Apple Carplay so I wrote them and asked for assistance and they said nothing to fix the problem. Here is my response.

    Thanks for the email but this is exactly why Google is so frustrating sometimes. You write back this is the way Waze is intended to work. How could that be? Waze allows you to choose alternative routes and then the app doesn't display the 3 choices on the phone or the Apple Carplay screen? or is this how Waze gets out of it because the phone is connected to apple…

  6. car play - alternative routes info are truncated

    When in carplay mode, alternative routes are not showed properly. Distance is truncated and toll information are not present. Moreover since few days you can't see alternative routes on the phone, so you can't these information at all.

  7. toggle for map when on CarPlay

    I’ve been using Waze as my primary navigation app, but ever since Waze was made compatible with CarPlay I’ve been unable to view the map on my phone screen. “Just use the map on the radio screen” you might say. My iPhone is mounted next to my heads up display I have to look down when I have ApplePlay on to use the other music apps. The radio display is too low to view the map safely and is also susceptible to glare. My iPhone is mounted to my dash so I can glance at it without completing taking my…

  8. Lagging information

    The app lags.
    Yesterday I was driving at 25 mph the app said I was going 65.
    If I touch the report button it doesn’t open until it feels like it, then it opens and closes as it pleases.
    It’s dangerous to have the wrong information up on the screen.

  9. Stop Waze auto starting

    Stop Waze from auto starting as soon as I get in my car that has wireless Apple Car Play and for that fact even if I plug in it should not auto start. I don’t always want Waze on and it is annoying in the background beeping and alerting even without a direction. This should be an option to auto start not forced. This is an unwanted feature and like and invasion on privacy and personal choice.

    I’ve tried Twitter to talk with Waze to no end, said I had to use this forum. I am forced to delete the…

  10. Report road closures using carplay

    Allow us to report road closures when using carplay. I can see this was suggested back in 2019 but still hasn't been actioned. Not only is this helpful in making other drivers aware, it also means i can be given an alternative route when faced with a closure. Currently, if i find a road closure waze becomes unusable as it repeatedly tries to re-route me back to the closed road.

  12. 2 major bugs affecting Carplay

    For many months now Waze has had 2 infuriating bugs in Carplay

    1) Stops dynamically rerouting if I try to check alternative routes. To get it to return to normal I have to close the alternative routes screen on my car's infotainment screen (OK, that's normal), but then I also need to pick up and unlock my phone so I can close the alternative routes display on the phone as well. Until I do that, Waze gets stuck following the highlighted route and stops rerouting if I deviate from the highlighted route. It took me MONTHS to figure out what…

  13. To support more signaling option in Waze for Car play

    I've noticed that not all signaling options in the iPhone version of Waze are available in the CarPlay version, for example no blocked/closed way is available, so it's not possible to have Waze rerouting ignoring a blocked way.

  15. When apple carplay is connected - you can’t look at Waze on your phone.

    When apple carplay is connected - you can’t look at Waze on your phone. I can’t scroll to see the road, it forces you to be on a list screen so while driving, I have to disconnect my phone, scroll, and then connect it back & wait for it to connect. Why can’t I just have a normal Waze app when it’s connected. This is so dangerous.

  17. Remove submenus from report “hazard” in CarPlay/AA.

    To report road works, or a stopped car you need to click report then select hazard, then select 1 of 3 submenus and then select the hazard inside the submenu, I think this is unnecessary, since there is enough space in the CarPlay main report menu to separate the “hazard” button into 3 separate icons, each corresponding to one of the previous submenus, this wold eliminate an entire step in the reporting process, making it safer, and therefore more people wold use it.

  18. Gesperrte Straßen

    Die Angabe von gesperrten Straßen sollte ins Carplay mit aufgenommen werden. Es ist nicht sinnvoll erst auf das Handy zu wechseln. In dem Moment wenn man vor der gesperrten Straße steht möchte ich schnellstmöglich eine Umfahrung angezeigt bekommen

  19. 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
