Fix the Android Auto Coolwalk version
The new version that supports the split view for Android Auto Coolwalk is awful. It completely kills off the main reason why people use the app, reporting.
This version makes me less safe on the road because it requires more interaction on the screen for me to report items. Furthermore, the reporting button is now incredibly small, which requires more focus on the screen to hit it while driving. The combination of more time looking at the screen and having to focus directly on it is a dangerous combination.
The voice interaction in this version is broken as well as…

Delayed Announcement
I have a 2014 Accord. When I am expecting the turn by turn directions I often find turns are announced (started announcing) before bluetooth has been allowed to connect for the direction, thereby cutting off the announcement by 1 to 2 seconds. Please allow slightly more time for bluetooth to connect for the call to come through the car speakers. I have an iPhone 6 plus

Barra de navegación Android de color negro
Me gustaría poder poner de color negro la barra de navegación del teléfono (la barra inferior de la pantalla que tiene los tres botones).
Uso Waze mayormente de noche, y la barra del menú Android siempre está blanca y molesta un poco. Opino que debería estar negra cuando navegamos de noche

Make Waze compatible with AndroidAuto Coolwalk.
Waze is not yet working on full screen with Coolwalk beta of Android Auto. Google Maps is doing that already.

GPS availability recheck
When connected to Android Auto while phone's GPS is not turned on, Waze does not recognize, that GPS is turned on later and it is needed to disconnect from Android Auto and connect again. I would appreciate if Waze could somehow re-check GPS availability. Button, touch, time period...
Typical case: GPS is turned off in the phone. It is turned on automatically by the routine when phone detects car's bluetooth or wifi. When Waze starts earlier then GPS is turned on, it is impossible to use it. Thank you.2 votes -

Increase selected button visibility on Android Auto
When using Waze on Android Auto (new Mazda) the buttons are selected using the touch wheel. The selection is indicated by a thicker frame around the buttons. While driving, this marking is hardly detectable. Instead a more significant colour or cycling colour pattern would help to find the selected button.
Another problem on my Mazda head unit is that it is nearly impossible to select the answer on the popup if a given event is still present or not. Using the touch wheel I'm hardly able to select yes or no, because the marking is not visible at all. This…

Permanent show POIs on Android Auto map (configurable)
I would like to show some additional POIs like charging stations, parking places and gas stations on the Android Auto map permanently (configurable). If I want to charge my car I need an extra search request to find a proper charging station.

Swipe up on android interferes with navigation
Android and waze both have swipe up functions. As soon as you touch the bottom of the waze app information on a drive fills the screen. Even if all you wanted to do was switch apps. Therefore navigation pauses until resumed. I'm sure the app was never this sensitive in the past. It's not very intuitive.

Re-introduce a feature. Back button (on android) re-centers map.
This is actually not new, but a feature I (and many people I've talked to) want back.
In the past, when you would roam around the map to check whats to come on your route, you could just press the default back button on android and it would re-center the map.
After recent updates, it doesn't do that anymore, and instead shows the dialog for shutting down. So not only we have to cancel that, but then find the button on screen to click to re-center.
Please, add it back.3 votes -

Enable Speech-to-Text for Map Update Requests While Driving (via Android Auto and CarPlay)
I would like to suggest an improvement to Waze that would allow users to fill out map update requests (URs) using speech-to-text while driving, particularly when connected through Android Auto or CarPlay.
Currently, when users select a map update option (such as "Incorrect address," "Missing road," or "Speed limit") while driving, there is no way to add a description of the issue. This limits the ability to provide detailed reports and often results in incomplete information being submitted. With speech-to-text functionality, users could quickly and safely dictate descriptions of the problem without having to stop or manually type anything.

Please give back functionality to have Map when connected to Android Auto
Google who owns Android Auto and Waze should allow the user to decide preference for map or directions when connected to Android Auto. Given many factors one or the other could be a lot safer so the new way of forced directions is Not for safety. Need to place a setting to choice or give back functionality. The workaround of reverting back to previous version and Never updated an app is ridiculous cause could miss out on many good features introduced. Come on Google don't be like Apple and dictate what we can do... That is anti Android.

Default app on android
A lot of apps use a google maps url to start the navigation from the app. Usually Google maps will then be started by Android. I would like to use Waze to be the default app instead of google maps, which can be achieved through the app settings and allow it to open the supported web links. But this list of supported web links is very short, especially when comparing it to Google maps. Maps.google.com is there, but a localised link like maps.google.nl is not there, so when the apps which initiates the navigation is using a localised link,…
