Android Auto - Arrange Display based on left or right hand drive and Icon Size and Speed
To save the person stretching to the other side of the screen to click an icon. If you have to stretch to reach it may impact your driving direction, and how long you need to look at the screen for.
For me the Reporting something panel appears on the non-driver side.
Adapt the screen so that icons you click on are always on the drivers side.
When half screen mode, you can not report anything anyway, so consider also making, bigger icons and going through two panels may also be better.
The screen should also indicate the location has been…

Police warning sound not working
When Waze is in background, or with screen off, Waze is not informing with sound about police presence or hazard.
Maybe this happens only in Android 12, but it is also dangerous to have to look at the screen all the time.1 vote -
Clock
Good day
When the maps open up there is no visible clock to see the time. Would it be possible to display the time on the maps screen as well.
Especially in vehicles that does not have.

Static Zoom Level
It's very distracting as a driver to have the map constantly zooming in and out every time you change speed, or approach/depart an intersection. When a user change the zoom level, it's because that's where they want it.
There should be a toggle that sets the map to follow your location, but maintain the zoom level to wherever the user manually sets it.
It should also no longer follow your location if the entire route is on screen.

Verbal Speed Camera Alerts should be on constantly or make a button
In the UK, people loved Waze, simply due to its Verbal Alerting behaviour for everything. But a few months ago, speed camera verbal alerts were turned off if you're under the speed limit.
Not only is this dangerous but it could cause speeding tickets. Let me explain with this is problematic:
1) firstly, the main priority should be to get out eyes off the screens and on the road. It's self explanatory, if I'm constantly having to look fir the speed camera sign on the app and my eyes are off the road then this is a disaster waiting…

Resize directions box while connected to Android Auto
After recent updates, the box displaying directions covers half the screen when connected to Android Auto. Please shrink the box, allow users to move it or resize it. It makes it difficult to see where you are going on the map sometimes.

New UX in Android Auto is terrible
April 2023 changes to the UX are terrible.
- More complicated, and needs more clicks to get anywhere
- Initial suggestions don't include Work or Home, requiring extra fiddling to select them.
- Many more clicks to get to routine things like reporting traffic.
- There/Not There options for hazards are virtually unusable - it constantly pulls focus back to the search icon.
Also sometimes get nothing other than "Welcome to Waze" on the main part of the screen.

Default text/email contact
95% of my journeys that need someone to know when I'll arrive are me commuting from work. It would be great to have a 'speed dial' feature on the map screen to reduce the clicks to tell the missus when I'll be home.

Fix the setting to keep waze on top when a mob call is in progress using ear buds hands free.
I set Waze to stay on top of other apps whan a mob call comes in but it doesn't work.
When I get a mob call my screen goes to my phone app instead of staying with Waze on the screen.

Motorcycle using a 7" Tab 3 active. Beter than a Garmin!
Can you make high contrast maps for direct sun light on screen, size adjustable speed indication and limit, optional speech for over speed, and glove friendly button sizes.
Waze is already good, this would make it the best on a bike

pothole
The most common things I report are vehicles on side of road and potholes. Its frustrating the potholes is below the fold in the CarPlay screen, meaning that I have to scroll to get to it. It would be great if it was up higher. It would even be better if you had a setting where you could order the list how you wanted but that is a pipedream. I know it's possible as I build apps myself ;-)
