Waze based stand alone GPS unit
My cell phone is WAY too distracting to me. I know I should leave it set to waze only, but all the notifications distract me. I really need a stand alone unit that only does Waze so that I can leave my phone in the back and not touch it while I am driving. It looks like Garmin has traffic updates, but I would rather have Waze.

Will WAZE create GPS Software that will replace my car's stereo head unit existing GPS?
I have an Isuzu Dmux. The built-in GPS is HORRIBLE not to mention the interface. Certainly it will sell globally if everyone could have their system replaced! -

Or make it available on Garmin, I hate how small my phone screen is compared to my Garmin screen not to mention my Garmin is on my dash instead of my air vent like me phone it’s higher don’t have to look down to much to see the map

I would love if Waze had a gps device (like a Garmin) that I could use separately from my phone. I would totally buy it. Thanks for listening.

Nous sommes plusieurs motards à rencontrer un problème pour utiliser Waze dans nos pochettes de gps pour motos. Waze est encore actif mais l’écran sur les iPhones s’éteint lorsqu’il détecte qu’il est dans une pochette. Nous ne pouvons pas visualiser les informations visuelles.

A stand alone unit would really be helpful. The others don't give good enough information. I would use the Waze stand alone exclusively 8f there was one.

Would love this! Why couldn't one be developed using satellite?

I too would like to get a dedicated standalone GPS unit that uses Waze.

I should add that the reason I am requesting this is that I hit a pole yesterday with my new car because I was looking at my phone.

Have the ability to run the Waze as a slave on another device.
When driving I have a mount for my iPads (mini and iPad3) and use the 'Personal Hotspot' on my iPhone to give them network connectivity. When it is in this mode I would like my iPhone to supply GPS data to either/both the iPads (they are wifi only so have no GPS data) In personal hotspot mode approximate location is given to the iPads but this only works well in city areas, in rural areas there is not enough data for the iPads.
There are 2 possible solutions given that non jail-broken iPads cannot receive external GPS data in software to the CLLocationManager calls..
1/ Make a 'Operate in slave mode' so that paired iDevices can remote display the Waze data and play sounds from the GPS enabled 'Master' (eg iPhone 4+)
or,
2/ Create a software GPS to be allowed to supply data to the Waze program (there is a project for a 'GPS Simulator' in iOS that allows supplying of GPS data by overriding the builtin CLLocationManager classes - supply that class with information via the personal hotspot or bluetooth connection if the iDevice is sharing it's data - ie a GPS slave app)
Note: I'm actually looking at writing a Master/Slave GPS application for sharing to local network devices for this purpose, but was unable to locate how one could inject the accurate data into the CLLocation Classes without a separate include in any application to override the local classes.... I'd be happy to talk to Waze staff about how to do it if you like....
