Fix the voice commands when using Android Auto.
Waze used to have a lot of voice commands that kept one from physically interacting with the APP. Since Google bought Waze, this no longer works.
Fix this. It is dangerous for me to have to physically interact with the app while driving.

Stop showing my home address to everyone in the car
There is a menu of previous drives that pops up when Android Auto (using Waze) starts up. Home is the first suggestion, and it shows my home address. I don't want anyone else in the car to know my home address. Please protect my privacy. Labeling it simply as HOME is sufficient. I know my own address.Thank you.

Show destination before drive start
When speaking to android auto to navigate, please add a confirmation before the drive begins. Currently, if it thinks it found the right destination, it will begin the drive, but there is no way to see the destination to confirm.

I am using Waze with Android Auto for a device without touch screen. During nav the focus box stay on magnifier icon and should be on report
I am using Waze with Android Auto for a device without touch screen. During navigation the focus box stay on magnifier icon (search box) and this should be on reporting new traffic incident. It takes me few seconds to roll the knob until reporting and a had to take the eyes from the road. Even if I manually move the focus, after few seonds jumps back on search. It is a little bit annoying, espcially that few years ago was as ok.

Wt? MW bars convert to icons (Android 11)
Please convert "Where to?" and "My Waze" bars into icons just as "Send a report" icon. Main problem occurs in a landscape mode when those two bars take a horizontal half of screen and it is impossible to hide them if you want to properly see what is on the map.

Delete the GO NOW screen on android auto
It would be nice to get rid of the GO NOW screen that pops up after already using a shortcut or my voice to text. The go now question screen takes my attention away from driving and my hands off the wheel a second time. It's totally unnecessary because I already used the shortcut. Thanks

Hi,
I've recently installed in my car a new console running Android and started using waze instead of via my Samsung note9 phone, I think this feedback should sum up a few points since the experience is VERY bad compared to simply using it via the phone:
When using waze via the console and not via Android auto:
- The map is going WAY to the right on the car positioning, it's zoomed out like crazy. It's very hard to drive and navigate like this.
It's showing a huge chunk of the map on the left and I can barely see…

Use car GPS aerial
In some cars the glass treatment screens radio signals making a GPS lock using the phone aerials difficult.
When using Android Auto using the car's GPS aerial rather than the phone would give a better result.
Google Maps seems to do this at the moment.

Hola,
Hace años uso vuestro GPS, ahora he empezado ha usarlo a través de android móvil en mi dispositivo del vehículo.En el móvil cunado lo llevo en posición vertical en los radares de tramo sale una barra que me indica cuanto falta para terminar la zona, está barra no se podria poner para que salga el posición horizontal también, así saldría en la pantalla del vehículo. También he instalado directamente en el vehículo y como es formato tablet tampoco sale, una lastima porque esa función me gusta mucho .
Gracias

Auto-restart app and continue navigation to last entered destination when crashed or shutdown unexpectedly
Hi,
Sometimes the app crashes for some reason. I would like Waze to auto restart the app (use an iOS/Android command like Skype that checks if the application is still running, if not, then start application)
The reason for the auto-restart is that I do not want to touch the device while driving. Especially when on a motorcycle.

Overlay mode: button for reports, pop-up notifications enroute.
An overlay mode would be beneficial to drivers, passengers and Waze itself. It'll allow Waze to collect traffic information in the background, allow drivers to leave their phones any where in the car and make reports quickly. Allow passengers to use their phones normally and make reports quickly.
It should be easy to make reports, and should have a translucent pop-up when there are reports/speed cameras/red light cameras enroute.
I know if Waze had this option I'd leave Waze on as a passenger and those times I can't be bother mounting my phone or leave the screen on.

Spoken Turn-by-turn Directions (Bug Report)
First, I don't think you could possibly make it more difficult for a user to report a bug that needs attention.
Now, on to the problem. I run Waze on an iPhone 5s. Since I upgraded to iOS 9.3, the spoken turn-by-turn directions have become clipped or truncated. Previously, Waze would say, "In a quarter of a mile, turn left ..." Now, Waze says, "In a qu, turn left." This truncation or omission occurs on all directions that anticipate a turn, i.e., "in 1000 feet" or "in 500 feet" is now completely omitted. This results in the driver being directed…

Audio only mode (with extra updates)
I use Waze audio only driving my motorcycle, using one bluetooth earbud. In some cases I think Waze has crashed/stopped if I don't hear anything anymore but mostly its just because I'm on a highway without the need to make any routing changes.
Would be ideal if you could choose 'audio only mode' and tell the system for example to say every 5 minutes 'stay on the ... for x more minutes. And maybe every 15 minutes tell the estimated arrival time. This way I know everything is still good.
I know people also use Waze audio only in the…1 vote -
Map overlay
Make it possible for me to overlay my territory map over Waze (Android). As I am driving it would allow me to determine the edges of my territory.

Please make a BlackBerry 10/Playbook version!
Any thoughts on supporting the new BlackBerry 10 / Playbook OS? With the support they have for running Android apps in their own JVM this should be a slam dunk.

Waze to have an option not to play sound from CarPlay as default
Currently regardless how the sound was set, Waze will always put sound on CarPlay as default and it cannot be changed. However due to some reason, I will need it to play throught my Bluetooth headset instead. Please have this option that available so that I can choose where to sound play from.
