For Right Hand Drive countries, give directions from the right speaker.
I live in a RHD country and the directions from Waze come out of the front left hand speaker - which makes perfect sense in the (majority) LHD countries, but is quite hard to hear in certain circumstances.
Either the sound should come equally out of both front speakers or it should be localised so that in LHD countries it comes out of the left speaker, and in RHD countries it comes out of the right speaker so it's closest to the driver.

horizontal screen error
Hello, I usually have waze on the screen without setting the route, but in the latest versions if you use it in horizontal mode the search bar is not hidden, and it occupies a quarter of the screen, before with a double tap on the screen if it was hidden, please re-implement this option.
Greetings.

U.K. Motorway Variable speed limits
Is there a way that Waze can receive an information feed of the U.K. motorway variable speed limits?
I am sure this must exist and have the ability to be tapped into.
The M25, is a great example, but there are many more motorways across the country, often have variable speed limits posted on signs above the lanes. These can change depending on the operators and in response to incidents or traffic conditions.
It would be incredibly useful to be able to see on the Waze screen what the current limit is, and to know that it is current.3 votes -
Unusable in CarPlay in iOS 18 Beta 4 across multiple vehicles
The app constantly crashes during routine guidance, is unresponsive to taps, runs slowly, is jerky, doesn’t keep up with the current location, doesn’t display speed, and routinely stops displaying a map. I have tried multiple vehicles with the same results. It has been bad across all iOS 18 builds but is especially bad on beta 4.

Waze app bug - super annoying
app runs in background after disconnecting from Apple CarPlay. Please fix this! It’s a battery killer, and super annoying to have to manually close after every trip. It’s enough to uninstall the app.

Add a Compass to Waze CarPlay Screen
How about a simple compass on the Carplay screen? Google Maps has it. Apple Maps has it. Just a little N,S,E or W in the corner. So basic, and yet currently Waze won't show what direction you are facing. On the iPhone display you at least get a little circle with a red line pointing North, but on Carplay you get nothing. PLEASE ADD A COMPASS TO CARPLAY!

Sleep the screen
Carplay makes my phone overheat on carplay. Its done this on many phones (Iphones) over the years and on long motorway journeys go back to the home screen and the issue goes away and the phone cools down. Its happened on multiple head units too (android). A sleep button for the map display might help this.

Auto sleep for Waze on iOS
Is there a way to get Waze to auto sleep after use on iOS with Car Play? I use Waze in my car, get out of my car, and it’s still running in the background and actively tracking my location.

Voice Reports for CarPlay iOS/Android
As the title reads, this is a highly demanded feature for the public and users of Waze. While driving and seeing a hazard on the road and trying to tap and report the hazard on the infotainment is dangerous!
Please add voice reports support to CarPlay/Android Auto so we could just say using Siri or Google to report any hazards such as example, "Report Police", "Report Left Lane Blocked", etc!

Ability to disable auto-app start with CarPlay
Stop automatically starting the app on the iPhone when CarPlay connects to the phone. Waze takes up too much resources on the phone. And I have to keep stopping it. None of my other navigation or map apps automatically start up with CarPlay.

Car Play phone view switch
When connected via Car Play, the map can only be seen on the car. The turn-by-turn list is the only thing you see on the phone screen. I want the ability to see the map on the phone too. When re-routing occurs I often want to view the route to see if I want to go a different way. Trying to pinch/move/navigate the car screen is hard, and becomes unsafe very quickly. Pinching/moving on the phone is much easier and ultimately safer.

Add Libby to connected apps
I use the Libby app for all my audiobooks as it increases library usage statistics and helps with funding for one of our most important public resources. I would love to see it gain more traction by being included as one of the connected apps with Waze like you've done with Spotify & Audible.

Change Waze user interface on CarPlay (with or without Touch screen) to DEFAULT cursor position is ‘Report’.
I have no Touchscreen on CarPlay, controls therefore are scroll buttons on steering wheel. Whenever I’m driving it take several (4 typically) button presses just to toggle the ‘report’ button (like if there is a car on side of road). I’m recommending that the CarPlay cursor defaults to this button so user just presses ONE click to file a report, confirm a warning or whatever - much safer (eyes on road) and more likely to use as it’s a pain & by the time you reach the selected report button on screen, hazard is past / behind you.

Please fix dark mode in Apple Carplay.
It’s been broke since last update. It only works right when I open the app on my phone and radio at the same time, which negates the purpose of carplay being handsfree. I’ve been patiently awaiting an update for weeks, but I’m about to delete your app for burning my retinas every morning when I drive to work in the dark.

Car play reroute move too far away
The reroute button in CarPlay just got move from the left side the the right side of the screen. Most commonly used button now is too far of a reach for a driver. Dumb dumb dumb. Please for the love of Waze move it back to the left side of the car play screen

Make map zoom buttons on CarPlay always be visible.
Currently, in CarPlay it takes several clicks in different locations of the screen just to get the map zoomed in/out just one step. Since the zoom buttons are so frequently used, please consider making them hot buttons (alway visible on the map). Seems silly to have to hunt down through the UI to find the zoom buttons, and that could be a safety issue as well.
Thanks!3 votes
