Forced Landscape mode
For use with a HUD display that displays as the orientation is on the phone. If it's in the portrait mode it will only fill portrait in the middle of the screen. If you turn the phone on it's side it fills the screen in the landscape mode but. If you have a forced landscape mode, you can orientate the phone in portrait but Waze would be in Landscape and display as landscape on the HUD screen. This would be great. Kind of like keeping it in the night mode instead of auto. Night mode works better with HUD displays.…

Landscape redesign
Please can you redesign the landscape mode on Waze. The black box at the top with next turn and street name is to big. Reducing the size or making it transparent would let us see more of the map. Also the small black box at the button with time and distance could be split and move next to the navigation and report button. This would also give more screen space for the map.
29 votesGreat news! Moving the black box at the top of the screen when in landscape is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

Zoom button in landscape orientation
The zoom button doesn't appear in landscape orientation, just in portrait (when users tap the screen). It appeared in Waze's old look, but with the update (some monts ago), developers made it disappear, I can't guess why. Please, bring it back in landscape orientation.
24 votesGreat thinking! The issue you raised has been addressed in a recent redesign. Hope you like it!

"landscape" phone holder
Currently my phone holder is in "landscape" position. The problem is that the 3D (or birdview) paramertes are same with the portrait position, so the area front of the car is smaller ( I can see only few km forward)
If I navigate and I get a warning (eg. traffipax) half of the screen is covered... so my "foresight" is more reduced
I have 2 suggestions:
- "adjustable" (or auto) birdview-sight angle/height: if there are 20km "foresight" in portrait position, let the same distance in landscape position
- navigation and warning "bars" let the same size in every…6 votes -
Landscape mode, indicator
When in landscape mode on iPhone, there is no indicator that tells us that we are in a danger zone, a short signal and a visual indication appear at the entrance and exit of the zone but nothing in between, while in portrait mode there is a visual indicator. That exist on older versions

Screen space landscape
The landscape view of the map has too many things on screen. The black navigation pane covers the speed limit and the speed camera alert also covers most of the screen. I am using larger font sizing as my eyes aren't great and the scaling makes this situation even worse.
Can the screen space be arranged so items don't cover each other in landscape.
Maybe a new set of icons/thin banner on the "side" instead of going along the whole "bottom" of the screen when in landscape.
Also Samsung phone has polarised screen to help viewing in sunlight…

Increase visibility area in landscape mode.
While using waze on my smartphone (Samsung Galaxy Note 3), the device is on its side. I like to see the map in landscape mode. With the new update (version 4.0.0.2 installed) any warnings and the display of the names of streets COVERS a big part of the map. I suggest to enlarge the área of the map shown in landscape mode for smartphones at least.

Android landscape
When using my Galaxy Note 20 in Landscape mode, the orange notification button overlays the map orientation button on the screen (north up or direction up). When I try to mark a notification, the map orientation flips instead of bringing up the notification page.

Better landscape functionality
Landscape mode is really cluttered even on my brand new iPhone, would be nicer if the map was more visible and clear to see when driving

Improve landscape mode
Improve landscape display. Half of the screen is covered by two big black boxes for turn directions and eta information. Also, the speedometer is on the right side of the screen and is very small and hard to read. Your latest update ruined Waze.

Landscape mode - report (not selectable)
About a year ago - report became unselectable via UI when the phone is in landscape mode.
A separate control to switch map orientation sits underneath. Change map rotation fires instead of the considerably larger "report ui"
Id like the UI to function - report being one of the more helpful pieces whilst driving.

Spotify in landscape
Hello Waze team, I would like to share my idea.
While driving with spotify and waze I am using my phone in landscape mode, where nearly half of my screen is occupied via spotify and I don´t see much of actual map. I would prefer side pane to just control spotify - 1/3 of leftmost side (1920/3 px) with using phone´s whole 1080px and actual map with all controls on remaining 2/3 of screen.
Thank you!

Optimiee Waze in landscape
Optimize Waze in landscape on mobile (long side horizontal) (samsung s22 has a small screen)
When navigating: The black bar that indicates the direction indication is very large, so that the map is already partly lost and shifts all the way to the right
Now it might be an idea to keep the map in the middle and let the indication below happen just above the arrival time and the remaining km's
Or make the black bar transparent but this tells me less.
