Hi Waze team,

I’m a long-time Waze user and wanted to propose a Heads-Up Display (HUD) mode that outputs a simplified navigation view to a windshield combiner or OEM HUD. The goal is to improve safety and reduce eyes-off-road time.

What the HUD mode would show

Current speed (from GPS/vehicle data) and posted speed limit

Lane guidance for junctions/exits

Core turn-by-turn prompts (next maneuver + distance)

Key safety alerts (speed cameras, hazards, police, road closures)

Why it helps

Less glance time vs. phone/dash screens → safer driving

Clearer lane & speed context reduces last-second lane changes and speeding

Extends Waze’s strengths (community alerts) into a low-distraction format

How it could work (options)

Native HUD layout toggle in Waze that mirrors to supported HUDs (CarPlay/Android Auto / AAOS “HUD surface” if available), or

A Waze HUD API / projection intent so approved aftermarket HUDs (and OEMs) can render an official simplified Waze view, and

Optional OBD-II pairing to confirm vehicle speed and enable over-speed warnings.

I’d be happy to share user scenarios and mockups if useful. Thanks for considering a HUD mode—Waze is already the best for real-time driving; this would make it even safer.

Best regards,

Google Maps & Apple Maps support Head-Up Display navigation on BMWs via CarPlay. It is not the case so far with Waze. It would be really useful to have this feature and allow much safer navigation.

Since the first post about this was on February 27, 2012, I highly doubt this has traction. What a shame. This entire thing is like a blog that just floats in outer space. Waste of time if no one from Waze can make a decision on this.

"Despite over 4,300 requests submitted for this secure feature that Waze users love, the developer remains indifferent. I'm starting to wonder whether Waze is deliberately choosing not to enable this secure feature."

Add HUD capability for Car Play. I have a Hyundai Tucson Hybrid with HUD. Currently only the OEM and Apple Maps come up on HUD when using Car Play; neither of them are my preferred GPS. Waze apparently works when using android auto.

Today I tried to test two of the new parameters of the new Zwift HUD update, specifically the temperature parameter and the left and right side pedaling activity recording parameter [geometry dash lite]https://geometrydashlite.online, and neither of them registered anything for me.

Does it happen to you?

Debería haber una opción para ver el Waze reflejado en el parabrisas del auto, tipo HUD

Please waze add this

Google maps through android auto shows navigation on my 2021 ford focus HUD. Waze does not. Please implement this feature.

I'm starting to think the feedback we give to Waze doesnt mean anything.

The fact this was suggested to Waze over a year ago and they havent acted on this is disgusting, its a huge safety feature to stop people having accidents and distractions to look away from the road is utterly obserbed that Waze have noe implimented this yet....

I had a suggestion for a top gun theme that might work pretty well with this

When driving in cust vehicle and no cell phone mount , it's critical, safe

Apple released the API to enable this feature in iOS 17.4. Please add support for it.

HUD is much safer. I have it on my GPS but it's still a distraction to look at map then up on the road. Safety is key

Add tenths of mile to the data displayed on vehicle HUD. My 2024 GMC HUD displays only the whole mile on the HUD while the center console displays the whole miles and tenths. When you get within a mile of your turn the HUD displays 0 miles and you have to look at the center display to see how many tenths before your turn. When you get within a 1000 feet both displays switch to feet and display correctly.

Having Volvo v60 2024. Vaze run in cenral panel, but not on drivers displat. It makes waze useless and it force me to use apple or google maps. Please add dualscreen support.

Any news? its 2024
