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…

Android Auto - layout
The rectangle with the indications uses almost half of the screen and reduces a lot the visualisation of the map. I think that it can be reduced or displaced to the lower left corner.

Pinch to zoom on CarPlay
I just switched from android phone from android auto to an iPhone CarPlay. The pinch to zoom option is available on Android Auto, and I was surprised that the CarPlay Waze for iPhone can’t do this. I would love the pitch to zoom option for Waze on CarPlay.
The option that is available is very distracting and cumbersome when using the plus and minus buttons on the Waze app.Please make the pinch zoom available on CarPlay for Waze and quickly for the safety of your users.
Thank you16 votes -
Add setting option to keep navigation on phone when using Android Auto.
I keep my phone by the steering wheel so my eyes do not leave the road. Android Auto is for my passengers. I don't look at it while driving! Many people are like me. I even downgraded my Waze to get past this issue. But the downgrade no longer works! So I have to disable Android Auto to safely use Waze!!!!!

Support for 10.25 android car screens
The app does not support the ultra wide screen. The bottom line of buttons are hugely covered due to not fitting on screen. There needs to be a smaller text option or a different layout. Can this be done?

Sound to Car Infotainment Connection Test Button
Setting up / integrating WAZE with a car's infotainment system has a large number of variables with cable, Bluetooth and WiFi being examples. It would be really handy to have a test button that would run through WAZE's range of warnings to test such connections in a stationary vehicle.

Navigate to a saved place using voice command in android with google assistant
Navigate to a saved place using voice command in android with google assistant on Samsung S22 phone. For example, if I have a friend named Jim and enter his address as a saved place in waze and name it "Jim". Then shouldn't I be able to open waze and say: "Ok google, drive to Jim". When I do that now, google assistant responds with "Sorry I don't understand". Isn't that a pretty basic functionality? Am I doing something wrong? Thanks!

new version is a mess!!! do not connect with android auto
Hi!
What did you do to the application after a new version since April?
1) it does not connect with android auto to see the app on the car screen
2) to use the car screen you have to generate the route from the phone and then connect to the car
3) the icons in wase are very small that they do not allow an easy visualization and not with the same order that we were used to
4) It is very slow when you want to move the map with your fingers, it is not fast or effective

Waze, Android Auto, 2018 Chrysler Pacifica doesn't work
2018 Chrysler Pacifica. Pixel 4xl, pixel 6 Pro, pixel 7 Pro. Waze navigation does not work on Android Auto. It loses GPS connection and stops working. If I go into the phone settings and turn location off, wait a minute and turn it back on, Waze might work for a few seconds and then quits again.

Resolve Waze slowness issue while Spotify is on (Android Auto)
If Waze runs without Spotify there is no issue, but as soon as Spotify is used, Android Auto becomes very slow. If you use Maps for navigation, Spotify works fine. So there is a problem with Waze and Spotify.

Android Auto/ Waze 4.91 70.705
With this update when opening waze in Android auto, most times the map opens and its extremely zoomed put making my icons the size of my screen and the speed indicator extremely large. Disconnect and reconnect and it fixes itself to standard resolution. This only happens on waze when connected to AA. Bug issues??
Also, I used to be able to use Google assistant on phone or car to say a destination of address to navigate to, and it would give me options for search results. But now it doesn't do anything and I have to stop the car to…

Android Auto default on Go button when POI selected
I have a car with touchpad/buttons to select with no touchscreen.
When I search for a point of interest (usually through voice commands) and select from the list, it displays information about the poi, but I need to move the cursor all the way to the Go button to start the trip. This is a hassle without a touchscreen.
Can this be defaulted to the Go button to make the selection quicker and safer?
Alternatively, can we start the trip ("Go") with a voice command?

Support Pebble watch (getpebble.com)
The Pebble is a smart watch with an SDK for Android / iOS. Being able to integrate with it would allow users to quickly report traffic instances without using the phone interface. Just click a button on the watch and it reports heavy traffic por example.
95 votesThank you for your suggestion! We are currently not planning on adding Pebble support.
Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s blog and social pages on Facebook and Instagram. -
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 –…
