  1. BUG: Knob controls selection box skips around

    My Mazda interacts with Android Auto via control selector knob rather than touch screen. When an alert pops up for police, it gives two options to pick from: not there or still there when I rotate my control knob to move the highlighted selection box over to one of those options, the system will automatically jump the selection box back to the default position up top before I can even make a choice. Please fix so the selection box stays where the user moves it to. It times out almost instantly.

  2. Revert user interface android auto

    New interface is unusable on non touch screen interfaces. There should be an option to change back. The left menu now obscures half the map, making it harder to see where you're going. Confirming obstructions is now impossible with a scroll wheel, as you scroll along the options by the time you notice the button is highlighted its skipped to the next button but you are then unable to reverse the scroll back to the option, you have to scroll forward through everything again. Trying to access the menus or report obstructions is also pretty impossible with the new interface…

  3. Revert your recent update

    Your recent upgrade has brought my rating from 5 stars to 2 stars.... Did you test this??? Or just release it and cross your fingers. As someone with experience in software upgrades and testing I would have been sacked for the mess now masquerading as Waze. It wasn't broken so Why??

  4. Black buttons on Black backgrounds are terrible

    Your recent Android Auto updates have been horrendous. Instead of having colorful, vibrant, easily identifiable buttons, everything is now pure black with headache-inducing white text. Black buttons overlay black menus, and the driver cannot distinguish between any of the controls without taking their eyes off the road for long periods. Controls are scattered around the screen in tiny black dots like a spilled bag of marbles. Waze is now a dangerous app to use. Bring back color!! Bring back black text on light backgrounds!! Bring back menu bars!! Or at the very least, let the user CHOOSE to have the…

  6. If no route chosen, hide previous drives menu so i can see the map.

    There is a menu of previous drives that pops up when Android Auto (using Waze) starts up. If I don't choose a destination on that menu (or, create a new destination) after I'm underway please minimize the previous drive destinations so I can see the map. This drive I don't need guidance, but would still like to see the map. Thanks

  7. screen area usage is very poor. Bulky information boxes, too generous black margins - not much left for the map itself

  8. Get the next turn announcement in distance instead of time

    Coming from Google Maps, it is frustrating hearing the next turn, announcement in time, I can't even figure out how far am I from that
    You should be able to change that in settings

  9. Drive left/right reminder

    As part of the user profile, the user should be asked 1) which country they reside in, and 2) if they would like reminders to keep left (or right) when actually driving in a country that drives opposite that to which they are accustomed, i.e. "Turn right at Turnhere Road, remembering to keep left." Use of the feature would be optional.

  10. Unable to fill search field from result

    When typing an address for a search it shows autocomplete results which are perfect but if you want to extend one of the search results in the search field then not possible. So there must be an option with each item in searched list to get the result and fill in the search box so later can add more in it. At the moment it’s downright annoying.

  13. Rideshare Pickup and Dropoff on Right Side of Road

    I use Waze for rideshare, and would be great to have an option in taxi mode to be routed where I drop off or pick up a passenger on the right side of the road. This would be a good option as long as it doesn’t take me too far out of the way. I guess in some countries the left side may be preferred.

  14. Add Building Outlines with Addresses on them

    I use Waze for rideshare, and it would be great to be able to zoom into the map and see the outline of buildings and the address on them. Google maps has this.

  15. Upcoming Direction Sound only alert

    I don't love the spoken directions and alerts. I really just need something to tell me "check the screen". Rather than a full read out, or even a simplified readout of the directions, could there not just be a "ding" that lets me know an upcoming direction so I know to look at the screen.

    I keep the speaking directions off because I find them annoying. But I frequently miss turns, off-ramps, etc when Waze wants me to take a different route than I normally do on a frequent drive because of traffic or hazards, etc.

  16. Stop using last direction of travel for assumed start direction of new trip

    Waze should not make assumptions like the direction my vehicle is facing for a new trip based on the direction it was facing when the last trip completed. 1) I have a driveway so I rarely park on the street in the direction I was last traveling while guided by Waze. 2) When I am going home I do not have my actual address stored in Waze, rather one 5-6 homes before my address so I continue past the address which Waze thinks is my home destination. 3) Another reason Waze should not assume my direction of last travel is…

  19. Change the colors when speeding

    The dark red on dark gray is difficult to read when speeding. I needed to use Waze as a speedometer while in Canada (KPH not MPH). And it was often difficult to read the speed.

  20. Max speed trip estimate

    I drive an road e-bike, which has a max speed of 32kmh due to legal restrictions in Ontario. It would be great if we could specify a max vehicle speed and Waze could take that into account when estimating how long it will take to arrive at a destination.
