There are a number of issues with the new Android Waze update. I think it is obvious that the developers use the app on a large screen. The speed limit and current speed are far too small to read while driving. The circle with the speed in it is about 1/2" in diameter on a 7" screen. The speed text and the speed limit are under 1/4" and are very hard to read.

Also, when in full screen display, if one provides a location to navigate to, Waze shows the command in the dialog box, but does nothing. If one goes to the split screen, the destination just input is displayed and the itinerary can be started from there. It took me about 10 minutes of repeating the command, rebooting the car display, rebooting my phone, and just happened to see it on the split screen.

After using Waze, and returning to the car to head home, It was nearly impossible to get Waze to activate Bluetooth and connect to my phone (Pixel 7 Pro). I rebooted everything, "forgot" all of my Bluetooth connections, and finally got it to connect.

With the previous release, I never had these issues. So far, these are the major issues that I have discovered.

PLEASE issue a quick update so that Waze is usable again. I may need to put my Garmin back in the car.
