Portrait Display for Waze on Android Auto for Vertical Screens Like Volvo
Because Waze/Android Auto does not have a portrait mode setting, Android Auto puts Waze on the bottom third of the display on all Volvos from '21 and back [1000s of Volvos out there]. This makes Waze almost too small to use, especially when those horrible ads pop-up and takeover what little real estate Android Auto gives Waze.

time display banner radar
Good morning.
In France, Waze alerts us to radars in "danger zones" because French law requires not to alert us to the fixed position of radars. Depending on the zones, French law requires us to alert us to a zone of:
-In town 0,311 miles ( 500m france ).
-On a national or departmental road 1,243 miles ( 2km france ).
-On a highway 2,485 miles ( 4km france )
In this zone there is the fixed radar but we do not know where exactly.
Waze alerts me to the danger zone but this alert disappears immediately, however, the radar…

Android Auto notification display issue
The notification pop up blocks the road and the arrow. I can't see where I'm going (not in navigate mode) and I have to force close the notification pop up so I can see my map again. Please fix, this is a safety issue!

Zoom - integrated car displays (Android Auto)
The zoom functionality is awful currently when using Android Auto with an in-car display. Google maps allows easy zooming using the rotatable knob (identical and in line with volume on a VW). Can this become a feature for Waze?? It's so distracting and dangerous trying to zoom when driving, a quick turn either way (like Google maps has) will be much better.

Waze update poorly displays street labels, even zoomed!
HELP! Waze update does not display street labels well in SF. Zooming in doesn't help. Now we must scroll far to the right or left to hunt for street name! Please fix!

Bad feedback about display on android auto
Since last update, when lauching a new alert, Waze splits the screen among the alerts and the map in a half, for whaaaat?
Drivers have to publish an alert using the less display touch as possible, for security reasons. With this New update, the driver needs to slice the touch looking for the alerts he wanna publish!
I really dont know why did you do It! I wanna believe that Waze team knows that as less driver have to touch, more secure is, for sure.1 vote -

Please consider adding the number of drivers to the traffic speed display. The greater number of drivers the greater the confidence in the speed displayed. Conversely if a speed along a corridor is based on only a few drivers the accuracy is questionable.

Forced Landscape mode
For use with a HUD display that displays as the orientation is on the phone. If it's in the portrait mode it will only fill portrait in the middle of the screen. If you turn the phone on it's side it fills the screen in the landscape mode but. If you have a forced landscape mode, you can orientate the phone in portrait but Waze would be in Landscape and display as landscape on the HUD screen. This would be great. Kind of like keeping it in the night mode instead of auto. Night mode works better with HUD …

recent change says "turn left" or "turn right" too far ahead in addition to closer instructions.
It could say "the next turn will be a left turn" to give you a heads up. It does later say "turn left in xxxx feet" but when listening to instructions instead of viewing them, I have inadvertently turned when it said "turn left" when the turn wasn't really there for 750-1000 feet.

Show remaining KM / Miles till next turn on the "Always on display" screen.
Most of the time, we drive for many Miles / KM with no change, and this screen remains on for a long time-wasting our battery + burning the screen (which happened to me with two devices already) + it prevents us from touching the phone every second, safety first!
My suggestion is to add the remaining KM / Miles to the "Always on display" screen (the feature that shows the time and date when the screen is off), which most of the smartphones have already, a small line of text that shows only the remaining KM / Miles +…1 vote -

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…

Differentiate alternative routes from each other by color
If you display alternative routes while actively navigating/driving, they will all be displayed in the same color. It would be helpful to display each route in a different color for easy differentiation.

Alert about speed cameras even when not speeding.
Currently, with speed camera alerts enabled, the alert only activates when speeding while approaching a speed camera. An option to display the alert regardless of current speed would be beneficial.
