iPhone Vs Android. Detailed Directions on iPhone, missing on Andoid.
When plugged in via USB an iPhone shows the map on car display and detailed instructions on the iPhone display. Android phone shows map on car display but a blue screen on the phone display, why? Show directions on Android instead of a stupid blue screen! This app is superior on iPhone for that reason. This needs to be fixed ASAP. Blows my mind this feature is not in Android. I want to know 4-5 streets in advanced where I'm going and the turns I need to make so I can get into the proper lane ahead of time.

Fix the Android Auto Coolwalk version
The new version that supports the split view for Android Auto Coolwalk is awful. It completely kills off the main reason why people use the app, reporting.
This version makes me less safe on the road because it requires more interaction on the screen for me to report items. Furthermore, the reporting button is now incredibly small, which requires more focus on the screen to hit it while driving. The combination of more time looking at the screen and having to focus directly on it is a dangerous combination.
The voice interaction in this version is broken as well as…

Action "Navigation Home\Work" for Scenarios (Samsung)
In Samsung s24 Ultra there is Scenarios.
There I can define "if xxxx do next actions xxxx,xxxx,***,...".
I can open waze by scenario , but I get it opened automatically by Android Auto in any way.
Google maps has option to choose : open Google Maps, Navigation Home and Navigation Work.
For waze there is only open Waze.
I tried to set Navigation by URL link&navigaton=yes , but it doesn't work with locked screen.1 vote -
Move where alerts appear in Apple CarPlay
When an alert pops up in CarPlay, all other indicators on the screen disappear aside from the physical map. The alert should be able to pop up without removing the next navigational instruction and the eta box.

Audible Alert for Fixed Speed Cameras
Every Sat Nav device that I have ever owned HAS an audible (sound) alert to speed cameras. This is because most drivers keep their eyes on the road most of the time, not on their Sat Nav. I have done some basic programming in the past and know that adding a PING (sound) to something that happens in a software program is the EASIEST thing that a developer could possibly do. So, WHY on earth are Waze developers ignoring this important feature, when so many people ask for it? Just flashing up Speed Camera in words at the bottom of…

Keep Audio Display Open After Notification
If a user has the audio display open on their app (i.e. showing Spotify info on the upper third or so on the screen) and a notification is received - like for a car on shoulder, police ahead, etc. - once that notification is over, bring back the audio display that was already opened. It's annoying that after every notification that's received, no matter if I interacted with it or not, I have to hit the Spotify icon each time to bring it back up so that I can change songs and whatnot. I'm sure there's a way to…

Add a general route view to Waze in Android Automotive (AAOS) in cars with two screens available (similar to Google Maps for Android Auto)
Add the possibility to see the general route view in the main car screen, while having the navigation route view in the screen behind the steering wheel. In this way, it is possible to make use of the two screens in the cars - one showing the navigation, the other showing the overall route (as it is available on Google maps for Android Auto). Thanks

Be able to interface from your phone like Apple iPhone
I really like your app and use it every day. My frustration is that I use a Samsung Android smart phone (I am not a fan of Apple iPhone's). Apple play works very well with your app. You can control your app from the phone or the car interface (basically the car mirrors the phone). With Android play you can't control the app or view the app from your phone. All interfaces have to be on the car not the phone. Secondly if you use the app now on the car navigation screen (as I said) you can only control…

Make Map Chats readable on Android Auto and CarPlay
Map Chats often contain useful information on lane closures or other hazards, but while their icons show up on the car's nav screen when using CarPlay or Android Auto, they can't be tapped on or read.
It is far more hazardous for me to unplug my phone, open the Waze app, and read the Map Chat than it would be to simply glance at my dash nav and tap the chat - you could even have the phone's TTS read it out while displaying it, then give the option to give it a thumbs-up.

Hazards and notices divided by location first on visual representation
Median, left shoulder, lane 1, lane 2, ..., right shoulder, off road, all visually represented when "Notice" button pressed.
At-a-glance identification reduces number of options needed in following menu, without adding additional screen, by changing the order.

Zoom to crash when planning trip
When planning a trip, on the GO NOW screen it shows icons for crashes, warnings, and delays in a line along the route. It would be nice to be able to tap these icons and be zoomed into where the incident is so we can decide other routing choices based on our own local knowledge, or change when we make the trip.

Landscape mode with North Up needs to be east/west sensitive
I insist on North Up and travel and east/west route often so Landscape mode makes sense. But when I travel east, my "car" is way over to the right of the screen, leaving no room for the road ahead. You need to move the "next turn" display or make it be narrow across the top. Going west does not have the same problem because the "car" is again way over to the right. So the "car" and "display" need to move around when traveling east to give a much better display.

Reports/all/On-Route - deleting incidents behind you
"Reports/All/On-Route" shows everything on the route, even those which are now behind you and thus of no interest. These should be removed as you pass them so that you only see what is ahead. At the moment it is too confusing - I shouldn't be looking at the screen to see which reports (if any) are relevant. I can ask it to calculate a new route from where I am and that works (as all reports "on-route" are now ahead of me), but dangerous to do on the move.

Offline notification timeout
Can the offline notification message timeout automatically, please? It obscures way too much of the screen essentially stopping functionality of the app, and it won't go away automatically when network connection is resumed.
Using my phone on my motorcycle I cannot reliably touch the screen with gloves on to acknowledge the message. So after a however brief cell signal dead zone I get no useful navigation until I pull over, stop, take my gloves off, and press the ok button. Even an hour later this message stays blocking the screen despite point having lost signal only momentarily.

android auto - location of icons
It would be great if the location of icon is on the side of where the driver seated. For example, if Waze is used in USA, the icons should be on the left side of the screen. If waze is used in India, icons should be on the right side of the screen. If not all icons can be moved around, at least the speed and speed limit icons placement would be good enough. That way a driver do not have to reach farther for an action or look further to see the speed/speed limit.

ANDROID CAR in Skoda
I have Wase with Android Auto embedded in my Skoda Kodiaq entertainment system.
To my regret, there is no option to report a lock. The menu item is missing.
Maybe you can expand the menu, as in my Samsung cell phone.Best regards

Preview next turn on map
Please allow me to view my next turn on the map.
I can view all future turns by tapping the next turn at the top of navigation screen, then tapping any turn to preview it. But the NEXT turn does not behave this way. Instead, it acts as a toggle to view all upcoming turns or not.
How can I see my next turn on the map?
