  1. CarPlay lagging issue suggestion

    Humble tips for the Waze developers:
    - if possible measure response times from the system. If they go out of bounds or no response, perhaps:
    - reduce the amount (reduce framerate) of mapdisplay data
    - reduce the number of calls per second
    - or stop sending mapdisplay data to CarPlay.
    - stop showing the map altogether and only show lane/direction arrows with exit names/numbers in these cars
    - Perhaps there is a function in CarPlay to clear the buffer and resynchronize the display to current position;
    - suggest that users should not use CarPlay in these cars for navigation.

    Hope…

  2. Add estimated battery percentage when arriving at destination (for electric cars)

    Via Google Maps in my electric car (Volvo xc 40) I see an estimated battery percentage at arrival. The app is installed on the car itself, not car play. I would love this functionality in Waze.

  3. When using Apple car play there is no option to add a stop with the closest available location on route

    When using Apple car play there is no option to add a stop using the closest available location on your current route. It only shows by mileage but that can sometimes backtrack you.

    I use carplay and especially when using navigation the buttons that driver uses most are further away from the drivers reach making it unsafe to access them while driving. As the displays are getting larger, the position of these critical buttons go farther away from the drivers reach. Place these action buttons closer to driver on the left hand side of the display.

    Please do some safety evaluation like they do when designing aviation cockpit and controls

  5. Please keep arrival time on screen during alerts.

    Please keep arrival time on screen when alert pops up while driving. Whenever I get speed, red light camera alerts, the arriving time disappears and comes back only after alert goes away.

    There is enough room in car play screen for both or make the alert smaller please. I would like to see, arrival time and remaining time left at all times.

    Thank you very much.
    I love Waze. Keep doing great job and happy holidays!!!!

  7. Customise CarPlay view

    On wide screen car screens Waze buttons are all too small. Make a setting screen to customise the size and layout of the onscreen elements to make it easier to use especially with a touch screen. The Apple buttons have recently been improved in a similar way

  8. CarPlay Menus. Make them short

    Menus selection of CarPlay when reporting hazards or any such activity shall not be more than 2 clicks part.

    Some of the menus are terribly long picks. Report Hazard, then read and select where and then read and select what?

    Is it expected that drivers, while driving and observing, shall read that many options & menus and punch in that much click and menus to report an event in CarPlay. Distracting and dangerous on freeways.

    Make it short of no more than 2 clicks away and more visual.

  10. CarPlay Instrument Cluster Support

    Apple CarPlay has started to support instrument clusters (Display behind the steering wheel), however so far it only supports Apple Maps. Developers have said this is available for apps like Waze to utilize, but you guys would have to update it to support that. I was hoping you guys could push this update as it would be very convenient and helpful. Currently using CarPlay on a Land Rover with the latest Pivi system. Thank you!

  11. Add Libby to connected apps

    I use the Libby app for all my audiobooks as it increases library usage statistics and helps with funding for one of our most important public resources. I would love to see it gain more traction by being included as one of the connected apps with Waze like you've done with Spotify & Audible.

  12. Change Waze user interface on CarPlay (with or without Touch screen) to DEFAULT cursor position is ‘Report’.

    I have no Touchscreen on CarPlay, controls therefore are scroll buttons on steering wheel. Whenever I’m driving it take several (4 typically) button presses just to toggle the ‘report’ button (like if there is a car on side of road). I’m recommending that the CarPlay cursor defaults to this button so user just presses ONE click to file a report, confirm a warning or whatever - much safer (eyes on road) and more likely to use as it’s a pain & by the time you reach the selected report button on screen, hazard is past / behind you.

  15. Better Apple car play support

    I was driving the other day when I had a road closure. I went to report it on the map via Apple Car Play, but I didn’t have all of the options available to me that I needed to make the report and had to disconnect my phone from the car and try to futz with that while driving (dangerous). Please give us the same reporting tools for Apple car play as we have just on the regular version of the app. Also would be nicer to have an easier way to report road closures, as it’s pretty buried/hard to…

  18. Waze on cluster screen over Carplay

    Apple Maps and Google Maps are able to display a map on the cluster screen when connected via Apple Carplay.
    Can an option be implemented for Waze to do the same thing?
    Thanks!

  19. Audio pop up

    Have a small box (preferably in a corner) with prev, next, and pause along with album art and song name with preferred audio app when using full screen map on CarPlay/Auto rather than using just the half screen
