A navigation app with no compass is beyond stupid.
Why this thing still doesn't have a compass is beyond me. It's 2018 and you people dont know how to add a compass to a GPS app? The compass also should be turned on by default. Please don't make us go crazy searching through a ton of menus just to turn the damn thing on.

By default compass is displayed on screen tap.
To always show it go to Settings – Map display – Quick access – Always on
In Map display settings it is also possible to lock North.

Google Maps is more stupid than that. It tells You things like "go east" WHEN YOU ARE ON A MOTORBIKE. The level of stupidity.....

I agree. Waze should use compass on the display and also it should use it in conjunction with GPS to quickly show the direction. It normally takes 20-30 meters (65-100 feet) of travel to show the correct direction if you don't follow the navigation.
Waze also needs to improve its GPS accuracy. In open area (no physical obstruction) the GSP accuracy of a Cell Phone is aprrox. 3-5 meters (10-16 ft). Waze's GPS accuracy is 20-30 meters (65-100 feet). So if oyu're driving on a highway (say 401), it would know that you're on Express or on Collector lanes. -

Well, it's 2019 and it still doesn't have a FUNCTIONING COMPASS. I just dowloaded Google Maps and Waze to my Apple CarPlay. I didn't have Apple CarPlay until a couple weeks ago when I
bought a 2019 Honda CR-V. dowloaded Waze and found some really interesting features that I like. I then realized, however that there was no COMPASS setting on the map. The Compass item listed in Setting does NOTHING when turned on. It does NOT show on map. I toggled it on and off with no success. This is CRAZY. As the poster above states who EVER heard of a Navigation app without a COMPASS to see what direction you are driving in? Seriously !
