Navigation Info Obscuring ETA on I-285 West in Atlanta, GA (Exit 61 – Airport)
Hi Waze team,
I’d like to report a usability issue I encountered while using Waze with Apple CarPlay. When driving on I-285 West near Atlanta, Georgia, heading toward Exit 61 (Airport / Domestic / Atlanta / Montgomery / Columbus), the navigation panel becomes too large, displaying an extended list of destinations and road names.
In this specific case, the upcoming turn involves I-85 South and multiple destination labels, causing the black instruction box on the left side to expand significantly. This box completely blocks the estimated time of arrival (ETA) and other useful trip data, making it impossible to see when I’ll reach my destination without closing or waiting for the box to change.
This happened while merging onto I-285 West, approaching the exit for the Atlanta Airport.
Suggested Improvement:
Please consider updating the interface so that:
The ETA remains visible at all times, regardless of the length of the turn instruction text.
The instruction box could be scrollable, collapsible, or redesigned to avoid overlapping key travel info.
This issue affects driver safety and planning, especially during long trips or complex interchanges where multiple destinations are listed.
Thank you for your attention and for your continued improvements to Waze!
