Compass
Could you please add a very simple compass to the view? I know that I can set the map to have north up, but I would like to have a little compass in the other view (that is like more) just to know the bearing. thank you. Waze is now my default navigation app.
Great news! A Compass is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

This is not an option for Waze on my Android tablet.

Instead of the compass dial with pointer, provide an option for users to choose a small window the scrolls through the basic 8 cardinal direction identifiers or the actual degree of direction the vehicle is headed.

1- בהפעלת האפליקציה בטלפון, נגיעה ריגעית על המסך מראה בצד ימין למעלה מצפן.
אין דרך להשאיר אותו קבוע שם
חשוב שתהיה אפשרות.2- מד גובה , מערכת מבוססת GPS הנתונים קיימים , בנסיעה באיזור הררי מעניין מה הגובה שמטפסים ויורדים יחסית ל גובה פני הים
אשנח שתהיה אפשרות כזו לבחירה בתצוגה -

It would be nice to have a simple compas witch will always give you an idea of where North is.

yes! i use waze with carplay and when you are lost in an unfamiliar area, a compass direction is essential.

Additionally allow manual selection of direction / orientation on startup, in case compas isn't available or isn't reliable.

I think you need both the arrow and the directional. I don't see why you couldn't incorporate the directional within the arrow....

I agree a speedometer is absolutely useless. But I've never seen a navigation app that doesn't have a compass. I'm so used to the compass on Google maps that I could not live without it. Until then no more Waze for me.

To my disappointment, my new Subaru has all kinds of gadgets except a compass! I live the speed readout and was wondering if a compass could be included as well. Thanks!

...even a minimal "north" symbol to let me know which way the map is oriented. Frequently out of a parking lot, Waze tells me to travel on a road, but I'm not sure if the map is flipped 180 degrees. Half the time, it is.

When leaving a parking lot, often Waze tells you to travel on a road, but frequently the orientation is flipped 180 degrees, so I begin going in the wrong direction. If the map had at least an indication of what it thinks north is, I would better know which way to travel when I begin.

Many people are RED color blind. Make the directional pointer BLACK. Make compass bigger.

May be it will help you but you can use option Settings - Display & map - Always show map controls. There will be a small compass in the map after turning on that option.

speedometer is great check against inaccurate one in car and now displays the posted speed so you dont have to look for signs
