Map Screen Navigation/Zoom for non-touchscreen
So, some vehicle manufacturers use a touch screen, and others use rotary knobs or similar for screen navigation. Android Auto forced manufacturers to choose one or the other in the event that they have the capability of both.
The problem encountered on Waze is that for non-touch screen versions, there is a loss of major functionality. One of which is the ability to change the zoom level or move the focus on the map while moving. There are often times where you will see a traffic jam, or something similar, and it is helpful to change the zoom or focus…

Link Driving Mode to Waze
When I get in the car driving mode is now an option but Google assistant doesn't actually seem to know who I am. If I say Drive me home it doesn't know where home is... Telling Google is pointless as I live in France and all my language settings are in English so it doesn't understand.

Bubble android auto
Hello,
I use Waze for my work.
On the touch screen of the car, when I press on a road it is highlighted in blue but the bubble to press "GO" does not appear as on the smartphone application.

An Option to select between Mobile and Car screen while using waze with Android Auto
When I use this app with android auto, there is no option to see the map on the mobile screen (Only navigation text is available on the mobile screen) even if I am using a different map app (Like Google Map) on the car screen.
There should be an option in this app where we can decide that the navigation map should be on the phone screen or Car display. Reason to request this feature is - In some cars the car screen is at very low level near the Gear Box and people who wish to see the navigation…2 votes -
Allow users to choose to display routes on their Phone instead forcing on the Android Auto
Allow users to choose whether to use their phone as Waze for routes or Android Auto as the main display, instead of forcing it to display on Android Auto. Some people want to stream music using Android Auto and use their phones to see directions, as it doesn't distract them from the road. Some head units in cars are positioned lower from the direction of the road and are more of a hassle to look at while driving.

Adjust the location of alerts
In Android Auto, whenever an alert appears, it hides the search buttons, alternative routes, sound, and especially the button to create an alert. This means you have to close the alert to access the create alert button. This wastes time creating the alert and makes it unsafe, as this additional step distracts the driver.
One suggestion is to have alerts appear below the traffic directions without pushing the interface to the right.

Malheureusement la mise à jour fait que sur les anciennes voitures comme la mienne jetta 2016 avec un écran un peu plus petit
Malheureusement la mise à jour fait que sur les anciennes voitures comme la mienne qui est une Jetta 2016 avec un écran un peu plus petit j'ai maintenant de la misère lire le nom des sorties c'était beaucoup mieux avant pourquoi ne pas avoir deux versions d'interface une pour les nouveaux écrans qui sont beaucoup plus grands et une pour les anciens qui en plus n'ont pas besoin d'être en haute définition donc les images ne prendront pas beaucoup de place dans le fichier APK

Option to not have WAZE auto start on Android Auto. I don't need/want WAZE if i'm making short around town trips.
Many times if I'm going to be making short round-town errands, I don't really need WAZE. A simple option that would save on battery utilization and charge cycles. WAZE should initialize only when I run the app. This would extend the battery life and reduce the number of charge cycles thereby extending battery wear. You're SOL if you forget your charging cable.

Android Auto display on instrument cluster on VW Group cars
I've hit this issue and according to research it has been reported by other people using Waze Android Auto on VW Group cars.
In my case I have a Skoda Superb, and when using Waze Android Auto navigation, the instrument cluster will often(/always) show incorrect symbols for turns.
It seems to mostly go wrong for roundabouts, which the UK has many of. Roundabout direction icons will either incorrectly show as just a turn, or in the worst cases a right turn at a roundabout will show with a U-turn symbol.
This confusing display has been enough to stop me using…

Adding a “Smart Location Clipboard” Feature to Waze on Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
Proposal: Adding a “Smart Location Clipboard” Feature to Waze on Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
Current Issue:
When using Waze through CarPlay or Android Auto, drivers and map editors cannot directly save or share a location from the Waze interface.
To save a location, the driver must:
1. Disconnect the phone from CarPlay/Android Auto.
2. Open Waze on the phone.
3. Select “Share location.”
4. Exit the app.
5. Paste the location into Notes or another app and manually add details.This process is complicated, distracting for the driver, and in some cases, can cause accidents.
Proposed Solution – “Smart…

Wazec recent trips on Android Auto
When I start my car and android auto can't on, Waze will display my most recent trips which doesn't make sense. Except for my home, work offices and other locations I want saved, how often do anyone have to drive to the same locations after each trip? Please put back and pop up the saved list whenever android auto is started.

Always-Visible Destination in Android Auto Navigation
I’d like to suggest a feature improvement for Android Auto navigation. Currently, once a destination is selected, the system immediately switches to turn-by-turn directions, and the destination name or address is no longer visible on the screen. This becomes an issue when a wrong destination is accidentally selected, and it’s only realized partway through the drive.
It would be very helpful if the destination (name and/or address) could be displayed persistently somewhere on the screen—either at the top or bottom—throughout the navigation. This would allow drivers to quickly verify the destination without needing to tap or search through menus, which…
