Feature Request: Secondary Display / HUD Support for Mazda (CarPlay & Android Auto)
Hi Waze Team,
I am a frequent Waze user driving a Mazda CX-30. I love the community alerts and real-time hazard reporting, but I am disappointed that Waze does not support turn-by-turn directions on my vehicle's secondary displays—specifically the Active Driving Display (Heads-Up Display) and the digital instrument cluster.
Both Google Maps and Apple Maps fully support this feature on Mazda's infotainment system via CarPlay and Android Auto. Because Waze lacks this integration, I am often forced to switch to competitor apps just so I can keep my eyes safely on the road while navigating.
Please consider implementing dual-screen / HUD API support in a future software update so Mazda owners can get the full Waze experience right on their windshields.
Thank you!

Preferred fuel stations on route: brand filter, live prices, one-tap stop
Hello Waze team,
I would like to suggest a feature that would make Waze much more useful for drivers who need to refuel during navigation.
Today, Waze can show fuel stations, but it does not let users properly filter fuel stations by preferred brands along the current route. For example, I often refuel only at TotalEnergies / Total Access, or sometimes only at stations compatible with specific networks such as Fulli, E.Leclerc, Carrefour, Intermarche, Super U, Shell, Esso, BP, Avia, etc.
The problem is simple: when I am already navigating, I do not want to search manually, compare stations one by one, or leave my route. I want Waze to show me the best fuel stations from my selected brands directly on my route.
Suggested feature:
During active navigation, Waze could show a small fuel panel with the 3 best matching stations on the current route.
Each result should show:
Station name
Brand or network
Fuel price for my selected fuel type
Price last updated
Open / closed / 24h status
Detour time, for example +2 min
Detour distance, for example +1.4 km
Distance remaining before reaching the station
One-tap button: “Add as stop”
Users should be able to choose:
Fuel type: Diesel, SP95, SP98, E10, E85, LPG, EV charging
Preferred brands or networks
Show only selected brands
Maximum detour time
Open now / 24h only
The brand list should not be limited to a few hardcoded examples. It should be searchable and country-specific, so users in France can select brands such as TotalEnergies, Total Access, AS24, Fulli, E.Leclerc, Carrefour, Intermarche, Super U, Auchan, Shell, BP, Esso, Avia, ENI, Dyneff, and others.
This would be extremely useful for:
Drivers with company fuel cards
Professional drivers
Users with loyalty programs
Drivers who prefer specific fuel quality or station networks
People on long trips who want to avoid unnecessary detours
EV drivers looking for compatible charging networks
Example user story:
I start navigation to my destination. I selected Diesel and the brands TotalEnergies + E.Leclerc. While driving, Waze shows the 3 best matching stations on my current route, ranked by lowest detour and price. I tap one station, Waze adds it as a stop, then continues to my original destination after refueling.
This would make fuel search much more practical, safer, and more useful while driving.
Thank you. exemple {

Vehicle Speed Limiter Feature
It would be great if you could set a maximum speed for vehicles, so you don't end up on a highway or major road with microcars or scooters.

Navigation does not resume after Android Auto disconnect/reconnect
When Android Auto (wireless) disconnects and I have an active navigation going in Waze on screen, when the phone reconnects Waze does not resume navigation, it just shows me the map. It does not ask to resume the route.
Phone is a Samsung Galaxy s24u, car is a 2017 Kia Sportage with the factory head unit, and an AAWireless in between.

היי ניווט לתחנות דלק עם אפשרות סינון סולר/95/טעינת חשמלית. אבל לדלק 98 אין וזה ממש חסר לנו הנהגים שמתדלקים רק 98
היי ניווט לתחנות דלק לפי סימון צרכים כמו 95/סולר/טעינת חשמלית יש הכל. אבל דלק 98 אין אפשרות לבחירה בעדיפות הגדרות. אני חושב שזה חשוב מאוד שיהיה כי החברים שלי ואני נוסעים הרבה ומחפשים המון באינטרנט לאיזה תחנה קרובה יש 98 וזה קשה. אני חושב שזה יהיה מאוד מועיל אם תצליחו לקדם את זה

BMW idrive 7
Dear Waze Team,
I am a dedicated Waze user and BMW driver, and I would like to raise a feature request that I believe would make Waze significantly better and safer to use in BMW vehicles: proper integration into the instrument cluster and head-up display.
I currently use Waze in a BMW G42 M240i xDrive, model year 2021, equipped with iDrive 7, Apple CarPlay, and the latest iOS and Waze versions. While Waze works well on the central CarPlay display, navigation instructions are not shown in the digital instrument cluster or in the BMW head-up display. This means that important guidance, alerts, and turn-by-turn information remain limited to the center screen.
For everyday driving, this is a noticeable limitation. BMW’s native navigation system already makes excellent use of the cockpit and HUD by displaying guidance directly in the driver’s field of view. This is not only more convenient, but also safer, because the driver can keep their eyes closer to the road instead of repeatedly looking over to the center display.
From what I have seen, BMW vehicles with iDrive 8 have recently started to receive support for this kind of enhanced Waze integration. That is a very welcome development. However, many BMW drivers are still using iDrive 7, including owners of relatively modern vehicles such as the G42 2 Series. These cars are technically capable of showing navigation information in the cluster and HUD through BMW’s own navigation system, so it would be extremely valuable if Waze could support this functionality as well.
I would therefore kindly ask Waze to consider extending full cockpit integration to BMW vehicles with iDrive 7. Ideally, this would include turn-by-turn directions, lane guidance, next manoeuvre information, speed-camera alerts, police warnings, hazard reports, and other relevant Waze notifications in the instrument cluster and, where supported, the head-up display.
This would be a major improvement for BMW users who rely on Waze because of its excellent real-time traffic information, community alerts, police reports, and speed-camera warnings. At the moment, many drivers have to choose between Waze’s superior live data and BMW’s better cockpit integration. Bringing Waze into the cluster and HUD would remove that compromise and make Waze the obvious choice for many premium-car drivers.
I would be very grateful if you could forward this request to the responsible product, automotive integration, CarPlay, or Android Auto team. It would also be helpful to know whether support for BMW iDrive 7 cluster and HUD integration is already being considered, tested, or planned for a future release or beta program.
Thank you very much for your time and for continuously improving Waze. I genuinely hope this feature can be brought to iDrive 7 users as well, as it would make a meaningful difference to comfort, safety, and the overall driving experience.

Add Waze Support to Samsung Now Brief
Many Samsung users use Waze as their primary navigation app, yet Now Brief only shows commute information from Google Maps.
Waze often provides more useful driving information through real-time reports of traffic, accidents, hazards, road closures, and faster alternate routes. If Waze is set as a user's default navigation app, Now Brief should be able to display Waze commute data as well.
Adding Waze support would give users relevant travel information from the app they actually use, making Now Brief more useful and personalized.2 votes -
FIX the CarPlay map disappearing after driving for a few minutes
First off, it's infuriating that PROBLEMS can't be reported on the Support page.
The CarPlay map disappears after a few minutes of driving. All the control buttons remain, but the moving map is just a white field. This is a failure that makes Waze absolutely useless on CarPlay. This problem started with the latest iOS 5.19.1.0 version of Waze.2 votesThanks for reaching out.

Serious CarPlay Bug – White Screen When Selecting Alternate Routes
Hello Waze Support,
There is a serious and long-standing bug in Waze on Apple CarPlay that makes alternate routes completely unusable.
Every time I select an alternate route during navigation, the entire Waze screen turns white. Once this happens, the app becomes completely stuck and cannot be recovered from within CarPlay. The only way to get Waze working again is to disconnect the phone from CarPlay and reconnect it.
This issue occurs consistently and is fully reproducible. It is not an occasional glitch—it happens whenever an alternate route is selected.
Because of this bug, I can no longer use one of the most important features of Waze. The alternate route function is effectively broken on CarPlay, making the app unreliable and frustrating to use while driving.
This problem should not exist in a production release. A navigation app becoming completely unusable simply because a user selects an alternate route is unacceptable.
Please fix this issue as soon as possible.
Thank you.

Customizable UI Layout and Quick-Access Report Widgets
I'd like the ability to customize the Waze interface by relocating, resizing, hiding, or rearranging on-screen widgets and buttons to better fit individual preferences and driving habits.
For example, certain reports such as "Vehicle on Shoulder" are extremely common on my routes. Instead of having to tap the Hazard button and navigate through multiple menus, it would be much more convenient to allow users to create customizable quick-report widgets or shortcuts for frequently used reports. Small, movable on-screen buttons could provide faster access while reducing distractions and making reporting more efficient.

Announce a speed camera even when not speeding
This was apparently added in a recent update but it does not work or it hasn’t been added. It would be good if waze announced a camera was coming up even when you are not speeding

Options for economical routes / shorter distance routes
It would be good if waze did something similar to google maps where it shows you the fastest routes but also shows you a more economical route that may take a bit longer but saves distance or saves fuel a bit.
