Feature request: Improved lane guidance in instrument cluster / HUD
I’m using Waze on a BMW 420 (2025, G26), and I’ve noticed a limitation when displaying navigation in the instrument cluster.
When approaching exits or roads with multiple gradual splits, the arrow indicates the direction, but it doesn’t clearly show which lane or side to keep. This makes it difficult to follow navigation using only the cockpit display.
On the main screen, lane guidance is much clearer — it shows multiple lanes and highlights exactly which one to take (e.g., far-left lane). This is very helpful and improves driving confidence.
It would be great to have the same lane-level guidance in the instrument cluster.
Additionally, if possible, projecting lane guidance arrows to the head-up display (HUD) would significantly improve usability and safety.
This would allow drivers to rely on the cockpit/HUD navigation and use the main screen for other information.
Example (no screenshots available):
In my case, I was driving on a highway with a split into multiple exits.
On the instrument cluster, the navigation only showed a simple arrow and the route line, but it was unclear whether I should keep left or right, as the road was splitting gradually into several lanes.
At the same time, on the main screen, Waze clearly displayed lane guidance — showing multiple lanes and indicating exactly which lane to follow.
Because of this difference, it is difficult to rely only on the instrument cluster, especially in complex junctions or highway exits.
Clear lane guidance (like on the main screen) is needed in the instrument cluster and ideally also in the head-up display.
