Integrate Qobuz with Waze.
Qobuz is a top choice of music streaming services for audiophiles, yet it isn't integrated with Waze. It's a PITA to change apps while driving.

Better 'ok Google' voice control
Since its simple enough to configure Google to auto-listen for 'ok Google' and its voice recognition is much faster than the three-finger touch version in Waze, could Waze implement a full set of commands for the 'ok Google' interface?
Examples:
* Okay Google, Navigate home with Waze (obvious)
* Okay Google, Send alert police with Waze (sends notification)
* Okay Google, Add stop, coffee with Waze (opens the add-stop interface with a search result for 'coffee')
* Okay Google, stop navigating with Waze (stop current navigation)Better touchless controls should be a major priority and the Android voice system is…

Media Control
It would be nice to have the option to have some form of media controls always showing because it is irritating having to press to open the controls and then the action you want. A small but impactful change. Otherwise love the app best in its class

Android Jelly Bean multi window support
There is a new feature in Jelly Bean, on higher resolutions I can split the screen between 2 apps, so it would be nice if Waze supported that too, so I could see Waze AND music player simultaneously.

Please add LiveXLive to audio apps.
Not everyone is an iHeart or Pandora fan. I am an old lady who loves music my way. It's apparent you guys aren't gonna allow access to Amazon music. So how about LiveXLive (formally Slicker).
3 votesGreat news! Amazon Music is now integrated with Waze.

Android Samsung galaxy note 3 multi window feature.
Would love to use it with other apps. This limits me to only use one app. With Google maps I can listen to YouTube or a music app while I see and hear directions. Thanks.

setup actions for use by trigger (app)
I use an app called trigger to start waze when I get into my car. It allows actions to be executed on apps. (Eg for music player it can start playing music, stop playing etc) Would it be possible to set actions that allow actions to be executed by such programs? Simple things like start navigating home/work/close?

I'd like to be able to use the voice controls without breaking my ability to stay synced with itunes in my car
if you use the "ok waze" feature, it breaks the itunes bluetooth sync with the car... and then you are required to jump through too many hoops to get your music back. would be nice if the hands free feature didn't break itunes

Prevent Waze audio if a call is active
With the Text to Speech navigation active and a call comes in, the application will continue to speak over the caller on the speakerphone. Other audio applications like the audio MP3 player, will mute the music during the call and then resume after the call. Waze client should do the same.

Android Auto Split Screen Support
In Android Auto full screen mode and using 2 apps for example Waze and YouTube Music, if you select music on the main screen (left) then the split screen (right) just shows Date/Time. Expecting Waze map to show in the split screen.
That's how it works with Google Maps. It shows up in the split screen if another app is in the main screen. Why can't it be same with Waze?

Don't connect to the speaker when voice is muted
I like to listen to music streamed via bluetooth from my phone. While running waze, even though I have the spoken navigation disabled, every time directions would've been announced, the music volume dips briefly. It appears that waze is trying to attach to the speaker even though it isn't saying anything. Please have it check for being muted before taking control away from other applications that use the phone's audio.

Can Google Podcasts be integrated with the music player please?
I like to listen to podcasts, and I have been using Google Podcasts as my choice of player. It isn't integrated with Waze, so can it please be made available? I can still use it while I'm using the navigator, however it has to be playing in the background instead of playing within Waze.

Add favourite song button on players (spotify/tidal/youtube ect.)
In music apps we have got 3 buttons (left play/pause and right). I propose to add button "add to favourite (heart)" There are a lot of situations when you are driving, some random playlist is playing and one of the songs is so good you wanna add it to your favs - now you need to stop, switch to music app, add to fav and go back on road.

Geotagged event triggers
Allow the user to define an event such as playing one of your own sounds, display one of your own photos or play a music track at or near specific places. Example uses - get onto a fast stretch of road and your music changes, and changes back when you get into town again. Get a mile from a toll booth and a note appears telling you how much money to have ready. Drive near a grocer and your recording says "don't forget to get the eggs". Go past a tourist attraction and a recording tells you about it. You…

Waze to issue Alerts when using CarPlay split screen
According to Waze support, when using Carplay split-screen (where Waze splits screen with other app like music), Waze won't issue traffic Alerts by design!! That's true, I have confirmed it. As soon as Waze returns to "full screen", it resumes issuing traffic alerts (danger, weather, radar, etc).
Split-screen is a quite usefull feature of Car-Play as it simplifies greatly audio/music control on the road, without the issue of messing with several buttons.
Although in split-screen mode the screen area that Waze has to show information is reduced, there is no reason why Waze could not keep issuing the…6 votes -
Controls on phone when using android auto or carplay
I'm a waze user paired with android auto device. I think it would be alot better if you are able to make it so you can control waze with your mobile device and see the map with android auto, google maps started doing this and it feels like waze is missing this opportunity. It would be great if you can end drives, start drives, see turns up ahead on the phone while using AA while the main map is displayed on AA
