  1. waze voice reporting issue

    After the last two updates, when I have my phone plugged in, the "speak the error function doesn't work as well on Android Auto. The music doesn't pause and it'll take a minute to process. It only really started functioning this way after the "big arrow issue" got fixed on Android Auto.

  2. Please enlarge the Font on the maps. With the latest update, they are too small. Also, please restore the OLD icons.

    Please enlarge the Font on the maps. With the latest update, they are too small.
    Also, please restore the OLD icons. The new ones are a different color and difficult to use.
    Also, using Waze inside Android Auto is cumbersome. Can Waze be separated out? I really don't like Android Auto or Apple Car Play. My phone and streaming services worked fine without the overhead. Now, EVERYTHING goes through Car Play or Android Auto - text messages, voice mails, streaming, etc. Just pull Waze OUT and let us run it separately from AA and CP.

  4. Launcher not functional

    The latest update prevents use on the mobile screen while connected to Android Auto. The button to intentionally exclude Waze from the Android launcher is not functional. The Waze map only works on the car screen (if Waze is included in the launcher). If Waze is not in the launcher, the map does not work on the phone and, regardless of the settings, it refers to Android Auto and only displays line-by-line navigation commands on the phone, not the map. Please restore the original settings and fix the update error!

  5. Information bubbles are too big

    Hi, thanks for mantain Waze. Information bubbles seems to be too big and invasive for the size of the map and screen. My suggestion is to reduce and resume the info in the bubbles. Waze on Android Auto, standard size screen, Hyundai ioniq 2020.

  6. Allow users to use the speech recognition from Waze rather than using Google Assistant

    The problem is Google switched to using Google Assistant which doesn't not work with city names in other countries because somehow someone thought it would be a good idea to do that when Google Assistant only knows 10 languages, most of them being dialects of German, French, or Spanish.

    The "idea" is to allow the user to disable Google Assistant and use Waze Speech Recognition (which works quite fine).

    This is an Android Auto thing but Google ignores it.

  9. Alerts

    Is there an issue with waze?

    I use mine via android auto,  and the last few days, any alert I get, on the left hand side, will not clear until I cancel route and restart

  12. Get directions from Map Coordinates

    Hi,

    My name is Adrian Șulumberchean and I am the developer of Map Coordinates Android App (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=sands.mapCoordinates.android&referrer=utm_source%3Dwaze_suggestion). Inside Map Coordinates, I used a "Get Directions" option which takes the user to a third party navigation app and navigates him to the chosen location.

    At the moment I use this url to open Google Maps Navigation: "http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=&daddr=45.1234,25.1234". Can you please also accept this url so that users will be able to navigate with any app they want?

    Kind regards,
    Adrian Şulumberchean

    Thank you for your suggestion! As you may already know, Waze supports GPS coordinates as destination.
    Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram

  13. Advanced config option: GPS inaccuracy tolerance

    So I'm currently using a rather cheap chinese android phone with an abyssimal GPS system. Even though it reports 5 meters of GPS accuracy, the exact position jumps all over the place, maybe in a 100m radius.
    This confuses the hell out of waze, and I get teleported all over the surrounding neighborhood while driving.
    Maybe it would be possible to add an advanced configuration option to fine-tune waze's location-estimation-algorithm?
    Something along the lines of "if the GPS position fluctuates by X meters in Y seconds, assume that the user is still on the recommended route, or at least hasn't…

  17. Add road closures when not on a route

    Android and Car Play do not let you mark road closures while driving. In large cities, WAZE is often inaccurate because of the number of event road closures that go unreported. Please add a feature to add road closures for non-drivers and off-route drivers in large cities.

  18. VoiceOver support on Apple iPhone with Waze

    There’s a lot of cited people who use Waze on android and Apple now there are a lot of non-cited people as well. It would be nice for support seamlessly within the Waze app on both android and Apple for seamless usability since Waze has multiple transport options this would be very popular. With blind and low vision people if the app could be made to support VoiceOver from Apple and talk back from android this would be amazing. I’m a non-cited person and I use Waze with very limited use since it does not have seamless compatibility with VoiceOver.

  19. Use with Dexcom CGM

    my phone app for my Dexcom CGM needs to override my android auto and WAZE to show me my sugar reading occasionally, can I get a button to show me my sugar while I am driving? It would be a safety feature to have a reading alarm if my sugar drops.
