An error occurred while saving the comment I strongly support maintaining Waze's ability to display the map on mobile devices while connected to Android Auto. This isn't about redundancy - it's about safety and usability.
My setup uses Android Auto for media controls because of its simplified interface, but I rely on my phone's display for navigation. My phone is positioned in a cradle that's directly in my line of sight, requiring minimal eye movement to check. In contrast, glancing down at the Android Auto screen requires me to look much further away from the road, creating a genuine safety hazard.
Different drivers have different setups and sight lines. For many of us, the phone's position is actually the safer option for quick navigation glances. Forcing all navigation to the Android Auto display would make driving less safe, not more. Please preserve this flexibility - it serves real safety needs for drivers who have optimized their phone placement for minimal distraction.
It was working until a few days ago, now I only get turn by turn written instructions if connected to Android Auto, very disappointing.
I prefer Waze for routes with real-time road updates, but I still often check Google maps as it always highlights the most fuel efficient route (usually just shortest). I'd like if Waze could always show the shortest route.
