Don't require location to use Waze, unless the user is seeking directions
I tried using the Waze app on my Android phone. It kept insisting that I must turn on my location. If I were in need of directions I would turn on my location. All I was trying to do was to check traffic in the area. This insistence of having my location on just to open the app is kind of frustrating, so I uninstalled it and went back to Google Maps.
Before I uninstalled it, I did temporarily turn on location and tried to use it. It is not what I would consider 'intuitive'. At least not from the stance of a Google Maps user.

Let me turn off the popups out of app while using carplay
The constant popups when i choose to leave the app in carplay for any reason are infuriating and makes using the car interface rather than picking up my phone less safe.
My reasoning for this is simple, i KNOW that my turn is coming up in half a mile, let me take not even 3 seconds to call my brother and my eyes are back on the road, that should be how it works but it simply isnt, every millisecond after you clear the popup it simply comes up with another and then i have to clear that… so on so forth endlessly. The popups when im trying to navigate to any other app 10x the time it takes compared to simply picking up my phone and doing that it that way, denying the theoretical safety bonus of carplay through sheer failure of design when it comes to these popups.
I want to turn them off so i never have to fight them again and i can go back to spending less than 3 seconds to do a simple task rather than fighting with a navigation app just to figure out what im doing for dinner.

botón repetición
Debido a ruidos en el coche (radio, conversación, ...) no puedo atender bien a las indicaciones. Otras veces, en trayectos largos me distraigo y no recuerdo si debo salir en 1 kilómetro o en 10 (por ejemplo) y eso me condiciona en la forma de conducir. Hace tiempo que he pensado que si pudieran incluir un botón de repetición de la última instrucción me sería muy útil para estas y otras condiciones parecidas

Please fix expressway sign/image -
When traveling from south phoenix to north phoenix on the 202 interstate there are two other interstates within a few miles of each other that you can take depending on traffic. One of them is interstate 101 and the other is interstate 10. However the last number has been cutoff in the app so regardless of which interstate Waze suggests you take they both look like interstate 10 in the app. Please make the Arizona state sign bigger or the numbers smaller so you can tell which interstate you should travel on.

Traffic Light Timing
Traffic Light Timing
Add a timer showing how much time remains until the green light turns off, as well as how much longer to wait until the next green light.
This information can be calculated relatively easily based on user statistics. For example, if a car passes through a road intersection where there is a traffic light, we can assume that the light is green. If the car stops, we can assume that the light is red, and so on.
Under the right conditions, it may be possible to achieve an accuracy of approximately one second for each traffic light.

Please add an option to choose how early/frequently Waze reminds us about upcoming turns
Option to choose how frequently the waze voice tells to take turns- such as a reminder every 500 meters for highways... Since meters fly there.

Waze Android Automotive Integration Issues – 2026 Lincoln Nautilus
Dear Waze Support Team,
I am experiencing two persistent integration issues with the built-in Waze application on my 2026 Lincoln Nautilus, which uses Android Automotive OS / Google built-in.
I downloaded Waze directly from the vehicle’s Google Play Store and use it actively for navigation in Dubai, UAE.
My current Waze version is:
Waze Version: 5.22.10.3
Updated on: August 3, 2026The application itself works correctly on the main center multimedia display, but there appear to be problems with the integration between Waze and the vehicle’s additional displays.
- Incomplete Waze information on the upper instrument / driver display
My vehicle has a large upper driver display in addition to the center multimedia screen.
When I use Waze directly on the center screen, I can see all normal Waze information, including:
• Speed camera / radar alerts
• Police reports
• Accidents
• Stopped vehicles
• Hazards
• Other Waze map/report icons
• Full route guidanceHowever, this information is not properly transferred to the upper driver display.
While the Waze route itself can appear on the upper display, I do not receive the same useful navigation information there.
For example, I cannot properly see:
• Waze incident/report icons
• Speed camera / radar alerts
• Detailed upcoming exit information
• Clear turn-by-turn exit guidance
• Remaining distance to the destination
• Remaining travel time
• Distance to the next maneuverThis is particularly important while driving because the upper display is directly in the driver’s field of view.
I have attached photographs showing how Waze is displayed in my vehicle.
Could you please confirm whether full instrument-cluster integration is currently supported by Waze on the 2026 Lincoln Nautilus / Lincoln Digital Experience platform?
If this functionality is supported, please investigate why the navigation data is not being properly passed to the vehicle’s driver display.
- Waze route does not appear in the home-screen navigation widget
There is also a second issue.
When I start navigation in Waze and remain inside the Waze application, the route works normally.
However, when I press the Home button on the vehicle’s center multimedia display, the navigation widget on the home screen does not show my active Waze route.
Instead, it continues to display Google Maps.
This happens even though Waze navigation is actively running at the same time.
As shown in the attached photograph:
• Waze navigation is active on the upper driver display;
• however, the center multimedia home screen continues to show Google Maps.I cannot find any setting that allows me to change the home-screen navigation widget from Google Maps to Waze.
Could you please confirm whether Waze is supposed to integrate with the Android Automotive home-screen navigation widget on the Lincoln Digital Experience platform?
If it should, please investigate why Google Maps remains displayed even while Waze is the active navigation application.
Vehicle and system information
Vehicle: 2026 Lincoln Nautilus
Infotainment platform: Lincoln Digital Experience
Operating system: Android Automotive OS / Google built-in
Location: Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Waze version: 5.22.10.3
Waze update date: August 3, 2026I have attached photographs demonstrating both issues.
I would appreciate it if this case could be escalated to the team responsible for Android Automotive OS / instrument-cluster / multi-display integration, as this appears to be an integration issue rather than a basic navigation or account problem.
Please also let me know whether either of these limitations is currently known on Lincoln vehicles, and whether a future update is planned.
Thank you for your assistance.
Kind regards,
Fatih Buyukhan
