Android Auto Coolwalk View Tile
I was happy to see that Waze could now do split screen on Android Auto. My only feedback so far is if you are using Waze for navigation the "next step" at the top and the estimated ETA at the bottom take up a big portion of the screen. The next step at the top covers the up coming route. On the full screen you are still able to see the route ahead and any upcoming issues. When using the split screen view in Coolwalk before setting a destination the top right quarter of my screen defaulted to quick…

Request Waze make a slight programing change to the on-screen alert display.
Put the "Still There" above the warning message with the "Not There" below it. I sometimes try to touch the correct response and my vehicle moves just a little and I end up touching the wrong response.

Improve the Android Automotive version.
I would like the Waze version for Android Automotive to be as good as the mobile version, in addition to adding some options that are necessary while driving.
1-In the Android Automotive version, the radar alerts do not emit any sound, making it completely useless, as you won't be looking at the screen continuously while driving.
Moreover, the other alerts only emit a notification sound, and when it sounds, you have to look at the screen to know what danger is approaching, diverting your attention from the road.
All alerts should be like in the mobile version, with a voice…

Better iPad interface.
The iPad interface is a bit cumbersome to use while driving. I find many of the buttons are too small. I have my iPad docked in a RAM mount next to the stick shift, so its right next to my shift hand.
Different screens appear in different sizes (like the event selection screen is cut in half when reporting a hazard or similar).
Also, display of speed and similar information in the lower right should be larger, much like the turn-by-turn directions in the lower left.
I would also appreciate any prompt buttons to be larger. If the buttons…11 votes -
Change from Popups to small notification Banners
Popups are quite intrusive. For instance, while Waze is recalculating, which can take a while sometimes, I need to see the map to figure out the next turn quickly. There are many other examples of intrusive popups, i.e. Danger ahead, Speed camera ahead, etc.
Popups should be shown as banners. A banner should be a rectangle less than an inch tall and as wide as the screen, aligned to the top or bottom of the screen. So, the rest of the screen would not be hidden at all, but would be instead completely available and usable as always.

On the car screen the Exit Route Button is on the right side, it should be on the left side to be closer to the driver.
Exit Route Button on in car screen is located on the right side, it should be on the left side to be closer to the driver.
Also the same for the button used to report things on the road.
The less time a driver looks away from the road the better, and looking and reaching farther away is never a good thing.

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…

Show map and directions immediately after entering a destination
An option to switch off the route summary after choosing a destination would be useful. This summary hijacks your screen and it is not always easy to hit OK while driving. This screen will pop up sometimes when a connection is lost and then restored

Quick Submission Links PLEASE!
I got to think 70%+ of what we report is 'car on side of road' or 'Police (Visible) on side of road'. How about quick submission links on home screen? I would think with just those two buttons the amount of submissions would go up huge! #EveryoneWins :)

Add option to resize the screen allowing to see all members of a team in special color 4 better view
This option will allow a member of a team to see in a much more easy way, where are the other members of his team.
Another side of this option, could be a live interface on web,... where a member could see the others members of a team.3 votes -
Bottom Bar.
The bar at the bottom that has search and carpool need to have a button to turn it off. It is not needed while driving and when on my motorcycle and my phone is turned on its side the bar takes up over half my screen making it impossible to see the map.

When in a car on Android, Waze posts some roues that were used in the past. Put a small search icon (question mark) on the screen.
In a car screen real estate is important. Driving is hands free and fiddling on the screen is dangerous. Waze brings up a search bubble or several destinations even when the driver is not using navigation. Please put a a small circle icon with a question mark in it (similar to the compass icon) in place of the search box. Navigation commands in a car is by voice only.

Option to always revert and lock 2D map to 'north up'.
When in auto-switching map mode, just browsing the map in 2D mode does not keep North pointing up on the map. It would be great to have an option to always keep the 2D map displayed with north pointing up.

Need the ability to turn off a nag screen about being subrogated to an audio app.
I like to listen to NPR's newsbrief in the background while driving.
Please allow the user to turn off the nag screen where Waze asks if you want to allow it to run at the top of NPR (and who knows what other apps pull this stunt). It's quite distracting when I have NPR on a one-touch launch button and I then have to keep my attention focused on the screen while I tell Waze to NOT link itself to NPR. An option needs to be added to disable this nagging because it is highly distracting and dangerous because this…

The recent update of WAZE is pretty slick, but I do have one concern. Moving the access to friends from the bottom right of the home screen
The recent update of WAZE is pretty slick, but I do have one concern. Moving the access to friends from the bottom right of the home screen and tucked away two frames over is not a great idea. Since the update, I can not see any of my friends online. Currently, If you want to see your friends online, you can access it through the search tab on the bottom left corner, then hit the forward arrow next to your name on top, then scroll down to the menu to find "My friends." For example if I want to send…

Waze Icons "float"
When you do a lot of driving with Waze open, the icons end up "burning" into the screen because there is no movement. Waze should have the icons "float" a bit to prevent this from happening.

Show small roads in rural areas
The Waze client, and also the "live map" on the web site, hides smaller roads as you zoom out. This is fine in cities where there are many roads. However, in rural areas, the small roads are simetimes the only roads, and if they are hidden then the map can appear completely blank.
I suggest changing to an algorithm that takes the amount of clutter into account. Something like "first disply the major highways; if the screen is not yet too cluttered then also display the minor highways; if the screen is not yet too cluttered then also display the…
