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!!!!!

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 -

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.

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?

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.

Removal of turn by turn view via auto android via phone
Could you adjust the phone screen when connected to android auto, main screen on the display in the car, the turn by turn to be removed so you can view the navigation on your phone rather than the display.
Honestly looking down rather that looking across slightly seems alot more safer when driving. I'm resorting to not connecting my phone through the usb connection due to this change.2 votes -
Don't connect to the speaker when voice is muted
I like to listen to music streamed via bluetooth from my phone. While running waze, even though I have the spoken navigation disabled, every time directions would've been announced, the music volume dips briefly. It appears that waze is trying to attach to the speaker even though it isn't saying anything. Please have it check for being muted before taking control away from other applications that use the phone's audio.

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?

are the developers aware that the car icon doesn't work on android for over a year? Nothing Phone 1, Android 14. could you also fix the erro
are the developers aware that the car icon doesn't work on android for over a year? Nothing Phone 1, Android 14. could you also fix the error of not finding a route after getting a location? also have an option to customise more stuff: ex - the routes and what to show after you select a route. what I was saying was to make a more customizable Waze. example: when receiving a location - going straight to the point, not showing routes or ETA, or anything. Simplify the process. some people just need it

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 –…

Read/view map messages while you are using Android Auto
Now you cannot read other wazers messages on the map while you are using the app through Android Auto. In most of the cases these messages are useful, especially in an area of heavy traffic. Probably this issue persists in Car Play as well.

Nova atualização piorou Waze no Android Auto
Última atualização deixou péssimo o Waze no Android Auto. O aviso constante de radares impede que se veja a direção da próxima curva, o horário previsto de chegada e a distância restante. Minha cidade é cheia de radares, então simplesmente tenho que ficar apagando toda hora pra ver onde tenho que virar, já que uso sem som. Agora inviabilizou o uso sem som por causa disso e deixou a direção mais perigosa por ter que ficar clicando toda hora. Péssimo.
