Reduce the amount of space the banner and icons are taking up. https://twitter.com/steviecoolest/status/723576075452841985

When my phone is in landscape mode, directions bar and the notifications (alerts) bar take too much space in the screen. I can't see the route. Português: Quando o telefone está na posição de paisagem, as barras de direção e alertas ocupam muito espaço da tela. Não consigo visualizar a rota corretamente.

I think the whole interface could be better designed, so that we could have a better view of the map and the route, which are the main goals of Waze.
If an alert pops-up, the route can be impossible to see. If it is a point I do not know or I have to make a turn, I simply cannot see.

The upper bar could be smaller, with smaller fonts and could make room for an area for the pop-up in the right corner. The pop-ups could also be semi-transparent, leaving the route to be seen.

I have a Galaxi S3. The navigation bar is a black stripe which occupies a very large space. Could be configured for smaller or different level of transparency to not hide the map

Tenho um Galaxi S3. A barra de navegacao é uma tarja preta que ocupa um espaço muito grande. Poderia ser configurada para menor tamanho ou diferente nivel de transparencia para nao ocultar o mapa

I agree. If all the info boxes were stacked on the right hand side, say to a width of the ETA info box, then there would be plenty of room to view the map.
