Automatically adjust the size of the text for turn instructions for longer text to fit more on the screen
Currently if there is text in the visual instructions or towards that is really long, Waze will end up cutting off important information that could be useful in Android Auto.
My suggestion is to make this text be automatically adjusted so more can fit on the screen but can still be readable with the naked eye.
I'm not sure what is exactly the best way to go about this but currently I find it not as user friendly as it could be considering us editors try our best to get all the information out there only for like a fair…

button cancel route stopped working
After last update while running on Android Auto, button cancel route(in left bottom corner, button with cross and remaining time) stopped working, even though I see it is pressed - UI item changes the color when pressed. Button worked fine before with the same car and the same phone. It looks like it is pressed - there is visual feedback, but nothing happens.

Add a simple Retry button after route planning fails
Often, I enter my destination right before driving.
Sometimes Waze fails to plan the route (because of weak signal or Wi-Fi/mobile switch).
This usually happens just after I start driving, so it’s hard and unsafe to go through many taps to try again in Android Auto.Please add a small “Retry” button on the error screen to try planning again with the same address.
✅ Safer – no need to touch the screen much while driving
✅ Faster recovery from short connection issues
✅ Very simple, very helpful improvement6 votes -

Turn by turn list directions
When using waze and android auto there is no way to see the turn by turn list of direction like when using the waze app alone. Also, my wife uses apple and carplay and as soon as she connects to waze via carplay her turn by turn list directions appear on her phone screen while the graphical interface of waze appears on the carplay screen simultaneously. Please provide a way to see the list of directions on android auto too. It is very important for planning a trip.

Recent change has made reporting more difficult when using a selection wheel in Android Auto
Previously, rotating the selection wheel (non-touch screen operation) when on the map display all the way to the right would select the report icon and stop there. Since a recent update, it instead loops back to the first icon and goes through the selection again.
However, turning the scroll wheel all the way to the left still stops at the first icon and doesn't loop back around.
The previous operation made reporting things much easier, as it was possible to select the report icon by rotating the selection wheel to the right without having to look at the screen to…2 votes -
Changing Destination on Phone While Connected to Android Auto
I want to change my destination on my phone while it's connected to my car through Android Auto, but I can’t type directly on the car screen. Currently, I have to unplug the cable to change the destination on my phone, and then plug it back in to reconnect to the car.

Navigation distance decimal points not showing on digital gauge cluster in 2026 Subaru Crosstrek through Android Auto
On the 2026 Subaru Crosstrek (and I'm assuming other newer Subarus with the digital gauge cluster), the turn by turn navigation display in the corner of the cluster doesn't show decimal points on the distance to the next turn. This leads to the display just showing "1 miles" then "0 miles" until you get close enough for it to display in feet. This does work correctly on Google Maps, showing 1.1, 1.0, 0.9, 0.8, etc. so this does seem to be technically possible. Hopefully this can be looked at in the future

Waze navigation off on Android auto
When using Android auto, I need to pick up my phone and turn waze off on my phone to get Waze to not display on Android auto anymore WHILE I AM DRIVING! , so very dangerous and illegal in Holland to hold a phone in your hand while driving, why can't I just press a button on the display in my car (Android auto) to shut Waze off or at least stop the Waze navigation, with all other navigation apps i can shut the navigation down with a button on my car display, (it's not that you shut the app…

Custom colors for car icon arrow &night time route
To be able to change colour of default car icon and night time route color, the cyan blue is too much of a strain on the eyes, if these were to be customised to suit all individuals for their own preference, this would be appreciated, maybe a shaded circle around the arrow as well for more clarity.

Disabled forced turn by turn navigation on Android Auto when Waze is NOT the active app
Last year's update was unnecessary and locks Waze on your phone to turn by turn instructions, REGARDLESS of whether or not it's the active app on Android Auto.
That just makes no sense and users have so many different use cases.
My mounted phone (legal to have a phone mounted if being used for navigation in my jurisdiction and many others), is in a much safer line of sight than the dash in my car.
Another case of when product designers decide what's best for users instead of listening to feedback.

Fix the north up bugs
If I've selected North up, I always want North up. Why are there always modes where north up disappears? For instance when I hit the home button on my console (2024 BMW) the Waze map decides to go direction up

Botones por defecto en navegación
Sugerencias para Android, durante la navegación.
1) El botón marcado por defecto es el de cancelar la ruta (x), y en mi vehículo al menos es muy fácil apretarlo físicamente; sugiero cambiarlo por el botón de "Rutas alternativas".
2) Cuando salta un aviso, no se marca por defecto ninguno de las dos opciones: sería útil marcar por defecto una de ellas ("Sigue ahí" sería la preferible).

Deep links not working when connected through android auto
I have some Tasker actions for auto navigating to several favourites using deep links. However, when connected to Android auto the deeplinks seem to be ignored and not working. If I manually open a deep link on my phone it does work.
