Android auto interface
When an app sends coordinates to Waze, the phone displays a message to view the map on the car's screen. This message appears on top of the original app on the phone, requiring me to switch back. As an Uber driver, this happens over 20 times per day. I have NOT given Waze the "On top" permission, so it should not appear on top. Switching apps while driving is not only inconvenient, but dangerous due to the distraction caused.

More info in notification text (e.g. ETA, distance to destination, etc.)
A lot of time I have waze in the background and just listen for audio reports of hazards, etc. However, I also like to know my ETA. I think it would be useful to put the ETA, and perhaps other information, in the persistent Android notification. Right now it just says "waze ... return to waze" which isn't really useful. If the ETA were in the notification, I could check it without having to open the app, and then go back to whatever else I was looking at.

When using Android auto to navigate to a destination, the last pop-up screen should have a time-out.
When using Android auto to navigate to a destination, the last pop-up screen should have a time-out. If you like what you see, no action required. If you don't, then press a button.

Latest Waze app versions on Android make car position and route useless
Dear support,
For a while the split screen in Android is not the best way to use Waze. The location and route are hidden.
I have been using Android Head-Unit since 2021 and the best application for navigation was Waze for some time, till sometime last year when an update broke the rendering with notifications and now completely put my car position and route outside the display. I usually use split-screen as the display is shared between Waze and another application.
Previously (last year), the car position and route was hidden by messages, but after canceling the message, I was…

Mudar o tipo de veículo no CarPlay
Actualmente não dá para alterar o tipo de veículo na CarPlay, apenas dá se o fizermos a partir do telemóvel. A minha ideia era implementar essa opção no Waze versão CarPlay. Ou até mesmo dar a opção de quando está ligado ao Bluetooth do carro mudar automaticamente para “veículo Privado “, quando está ligado ao Bluetooth da mota mudar automaticamente para “motociclo”.

Show turn notifications on phone even when Waze is active in Android Auto
When using Waze via Android Auto I receive helpful turn notifications (e.g. “Turn left in 200 meters”) as notifications on my smartphone only when Waze is minimized (e.g. while Spotify is in focus).
Howeve when Waze is active on the car screen these notifications do not appear on the phone.It would be very useful if those notifications could appear on the phone at all times via an option, i would find this very usefull

Add compass rose and time to turn features from Garmin to Android Auto/Carplay
Right now you can't see the compass rose which I use all the time on my Garmin to know which direction I am headed. It works on the phone app but not Android Auto.
Garmin also has a really nice time to turn feature that gives you an approximate time to your next turn. I find myself missing exits with waze as its easier to think in seconds than "1000 feet"

Allow me to change audio source in Play Sound Via menu when using CarPlay
Waze audio defaults to CarPlay audio and cannot be changed while connected to CarPlay. I would like to be able to select an alternative Bluetooth source other than CarPlay while connected to CarPlay. The fix would need to be made in Settings -> Voice & Sound -> Play Sound Via. Allow user to select any sound output they desire and NOT default to carplay.

Danger zone entry and exit icons with Android Auto in France
Hello,
Would it be possible to improve the announcement of danger zones for France (because in our country, announcing the precise location of speed cameras is prohibited!)?
The ideal would be to have an icon when you enter and another icon when you leave a danger zone in addition to the voice announcement and the small frame at the top left.
If we could also have on the road, a color associated with danger zones as in the style of traffic announcements, to best indicate the duration of the zone.Other applications like Tomtom do so why not Waze!

Do not stop navigation when unplugging from Android Auto
When you unplug the phone from the car, Waze will stop the current navigation and forget the route.
This can happen for a variety of reasons such as making a pit stop, or even a flaky usb port.
If you need to continue the route, you need to re set the destination, and for this you need internet access. If you are in the middle of nowhere with no internet, you are screwed.
Google Maps doesn't forget the current navigation when the phone unplugs from the car. The navigation should be stopped only if the user stops it manually.

Fix catout android
Good night, I recently changed my phone, I thought that this problem had already been solved. This is not even a problem, but a defect that is already more than 3 years old, that’s for sure. But the drawback is that the cutout in the application does not read and a black background is simply superimposed, and not like in Google maps, for example, everything is fine and calm. I propose to solve this problem already.

ETA Only, Time Remaining Only or Both.
In the Settings there should be a feature to have the Main Screen show ''ETA Only'', ''Time Remaining Only'' or Both.
As it is now, the display switches between the two and the user has to keep looking at the screen to get the results they need.
This is NOT SAFE!
As noted on the Android Market, a lot of users want it to display just one or the other, not the schizoid way it is now.

Update "auto focus" on notifications
I use Waze on my Android linked with Android Auto in my Mazda CX5. It has a display, but not a touch screen. When it comes up with a notification like "vehicle on shoulder" I can never get the focus to stay on "Not There" or "Still There" because every time the mileage updates, the focus jumps to the "Search" icon. Do not change FOCUS when mileage updates.

Option to toggle turn on/off fade music on alerts/notifications/Turn-by-Turn
I use my phone (Android) as a Media Center on my car, it controls the audio and video on it. I play music using it, and the fade function is nice, but I like to use the waze with cellphone soundspeaker's instead of BT and, even so, my music through BT have this terrible fade-off on alerts/notifications/Turn-by-Turn speak.
Please, consider an option to disble that, so we have a choise to use or not the fade-of on music.
Thanks!

Please let us have the option to show ONLY the speed limit sign.
Please let us have the option to show ONLY the speed limit sign when using with an Android Auto car or stereo unit. Currently, it shows both or only the speedometer with the speed limit sign too small to see easily. When I first start up and I'm parked on a street that has a speed limit, the sign is nice and big. Once moving though, the speedometer shows up and the limit sign shrinks down to where it's hard to see.
