After updating to 4.94.0.3 Waze is very difficult to navigate in Android Auto with a rotary knob (non-touch screen).
When using a car without a touch screen, it is extremely difficult to navigate the new interface. For example, the Cursor used to default to the "Pin" icon while in navigation. This was great because it allows you to quickly report Hazards and Police.
Now after the update, it defaults to the "Magnifying Glass" icon. This means you have to scroll past SEVEN, yes... 7, other icons to get the to "Pin" to report a hazard. I tried moving the cursor to the "Pin" Icon and leaving it there, but after a few seconds it defaults back to the Search Icon. The last thing I'm trying to do while already navigating someplace is use the search Icon. I've all but stopped trying to report anything on the road as a hazard because of this change. This is exacerbated by the fact that voice commands no longer seem to work.
If future developers out there want a "what not to do" of UI updates... this is textbook.
It's almost as if Waze is sabotaging the app to force people back to Google Maps.

Joystick map navigation is difficult to use on CoolWalk update
After the Coolwalk update, you introduced a new feature so we can navigate on the map using car controls. When using this feature with the car joystick (Mazda), isn't smooth, it's too laggy and difficult to use, making this awesome feature useless. Please see how Google Maps handles this. That works perfectly.

Police info
All the places that the police icon or other hazard icons show, one should be able to see the details of that icon. Currently I can only see the minutes reported and distance of an officer when in the route mode. Overview mode should show the same level of details when you tap on the icon. It is ridiculous to have different displays / abilities to see different level of details when it should all be the same. If I see the icon in overview, on the map, when in a route or not on an active route but just looking at the map...clicking on the icon should give the same details. Sometimes it gives you no info other than a general idea of how far away and no info on how many people reported and how long ago.

Oxygen Restricted Roads
A lot of drivers are now helping seniors and those with respiratory problems/disabilities that have oxygen tanks which are prohibited in tunnels that run from NJ/NY and possibly in other areas. There’s also some restrictions on bridges. Can you please come up with a Navigation button to “Avoid Oxygen Tank Restricted Roads”?

Hola. La última actualización de Android va muy mal en Android Auto. No es posible iniciar un nuevo viaje cuando se conecta el teléfono al v
Ultima actualización va muy mal.
Ya no es posible iniciar una nueva ruta cuando el teléfono y el auto están conectados. No permite buscar un destino nuevo: tanto el teclado como el comando de voz no funcionan.
¿De qué sirve una app para conducir a la que no se le puede indicar un destino?
Fatal. No sé cómo se les ocurrió dañar la app.3 votes -
New UX in Android Auto is terrible
April 2023 changes to the UX are terrible.
- More complicated, and needs more clicks to get anywhere
- Initial suggestions don't include Work or Home, requiring extra fiddling to select them.
- Many more clicks to get to routine things like reporting traffic.
- There/Not There options for hazards are virtually unusable - it constantly pulls focus back to the search icon.
Also sometimes get nothing other than "Welcome to Waze" on the main part of the screen.

Roll back to last usable version (fixing voice command and display issues)
The recent update added the gimmicky split-screen feature at the expense of everything that made the app usable. Until you can fix the following, please roll back to the last non-coolwalk version:
• Google Assistant voice commands do not work
• Speed limit is too small to see
• "Time Remaining in drive" is missingI would also like you to rethink the decision of replacing all the icons with ugly little black pills, but that isn't really a technical problem in need of a fix.

Time Limit for Reports
Hi Time Limit for Reports, on the map is 30 min that is very short, much people complaining about it, will be good around 1 hour maybe more! And for car stoped will be good 1.5 a day because car who is broken can’t move out for 30 min etc. Thank you

This-trip-only Navigation Preferences or Warning When Any "Avoid" Option is On
Occasionally a given trip requires selecting "Avoid" options within Navigation Preferences. However, it's easy to forget those options were set, resulting in a convoluted and potentially time-consuming routing the next time Waze is used for a different destination. Suggestion is to provide an upfront Navigation Preferences option for "this trip only" when setting up the trip or when a trip is selected from favorites. An alternate approach to this issue is that whenever a future trip is defined, via favorites, new trip or past trip, the user is alerted if any Navigation "Avoid" settings are ON.

Bring back drive sharing to other persons waze app
Please bring back waze drive share. It spams my or my spouses messenger or messages if we send our ETA with other apps. Old solutions was more hands free friendly (fewer clicks).

Current Update Moves Eyes Off Road
The new version works well with Android Auto Coolwalk, however: navigation buttons (i.e. routes) are now smaller and on the far top right corner, report button is now smaller and black and white instead of big and red. All this causes more eyes of the road, please review. Other than that like the work you're doing. Thanks!

search favourites function
It would be good to be able to perform a search/filter function for your saved favourites. If you have 30+ saved favourites it can be quite difficult to find what you want, a quick search function would be good I think.
