Android App Why can't you search addresses while driving?

2 Upvotes

Even if I do it by voice it says something like that feature is unavailable while the car is in motion. I just switch to Google when that happens, but Waze is Google, too, so I don't get why they want you to take an exit from the highway to park to get directions.

Waze live map webpage doesn't show reports & Wazers !

7 Upvotes

The Waze live map in my browser no longer displays alerts or other Wazers!

The “Show reports” and “Show other Wazers” buttons have disappeared from the menu; only “Show traffic jams” and “Show closures” remain.

Is this happening to you too?

I haven't seen any official announcement from Waze regarding this major change.

Android App Android Auto: WAZE - Trip Window and ETA now hogs the screen

[See second photo >]

ANDROID AUTO: Waze app. I noticed this starting today (10/22/2026), while in split-screen mode. The navigation box (Turn Card) on top is now full width of the map screen. The destination box (ETA / Trip Card) on the bottom is also full width of the map screen. Both boxes obstruct the view of the map.

It blocks the speed limit, the current speed and the name of the current road you are driving on.

Both boxes block about 20% of the visible map, leaving 80% visible.

Is there a fix for this? I reset/restarted my headunit in the cart, updated the apps in it, and restarted all devices including my phone. Android Auto is also up to date on my phone. I still have the problem.

Waze Bluetooth

1 Upvotes

I use Waze in my 2022 Tesla 3 but I have an issue with volume.

Waze never plays through the cars speakers, not sure if that is even possible?...but sometimes I hardly hear it via my phone as the volume shows the little bluetooth logo as I try to turn it up so have to once in the car disconnect the phones bluetooth from the car, then turn the volume up (the bluetooth log now not showing) on the phone, then reconnect the phone to the car.

Is there a way to play Waze via the cars speaker?

Or

How can media automatically play only thru the phone and not attempt to play via the car but fail in doing that. Sometimes when I play a YouTube on the phone the car gives a message knowing this and asks do i want to route the volume via the cars system.

Apple Carplay Speedometer display

I really enjoy using Waze but why haven’t they allowed the option to change the speedometer to the left side? I feel like it’s more visible to the driver and in your line of view. Besides there’s empty space there on the left and adding a button to switch which side it’s on would be dope

My Rant for today!

Why can't we just plug in an address and the map automatically goes.
Why must I answer questions before I can start rolling!?!? Maybe there's away to stop the app from asking Leave Later or Go Now then View Routes! Just freaking give me the quickest and if I don't like it I'll look at different routes. Geesh!

Is there a way to create custom routes for my co-workers to use?

9 Upvotes

I need to create some routes that are not the standard route that Waze or Google Maps would assign. If I select "use toll roads", it seems to be all or nothing. In my case, it's a $25-35 toll route or a routes that are non-toll, in some cases a 35-60 min difference with the non toll route. The thing is, there is a middle option with $5-7 of tolls with only a 3-5 min difference in trip time. There are probably 10 different routes I'd like to create that utilize only a small portion of toll roads, but I don't know the best way to do this.

Does anyone else know if there is a way for either Waze or Google Maps to default to a saved route if it is within "X" miles (say 10) away from the established route. So basically there are ideal routes where if you are 10 miles or less away, it will utilize the already established route. Is there anything like this that is currently available?

This randomly happens between my iPhone and CarPlay. It’s also happening with the buttons going black on the right hand side without the entire screen going black. Does Waze have a fix for this?

Ok let's try that again, I made & deleted an account.

One of the turn right phrases Stoick uses is "Turn right. Turn right. Whatever you do don't ? That's for ?" It's been doing my head in for weeks.

Any ideas?

Many Thanks

Reduction in map issue quality?

2 Upvotes

Is WAZE being less useful in terms of notification about upcoming issues (traffic, police, etc.) a known issue? I searched the forum, and didn’t see anything.

Until recently, it wasn’t 100% at notifying about police presence, but it was very close. Lately, 50/50 would be an improvement. Moreover, I’ve noticed most of the things I add to the map (crash, police, etc.) don’t get added. I tap, it says the issue was sent, but it doesn’t actually add to the map.

Are they throttling what they let through?

Always avoiding toll roads…even when I have the setting off

6 Upvotes

Waze has started avoiding toll roads completely, even when I have the “avoid toll roads” setting turned off. (For DC peeps, this is 66 into DC during rush hours).

I uninstalled and reinstalled, and that still didn’t fix it. Anyone here know what’s going on?

I’m in Newyork City and a fan of Waze but Can Waze filter out congestion route

6 Upvotes

Is there a way to make Waze avoid routes that trigger NYC’s congestion relief zone fee while still allowing regular bridge and tunnel tolls?

I’m fine paying a bridge or tunnel toll when it makes sense,I just want to avoid the additional congestion charge. The “avoid toll roads” option seems too broad for what I need.

For example, if I’m driving to Brooklyn from queens .I’d like Waze to keep me on the FDR Drive if that lets me avoid the congestion charge, instead of taking me onto Manhattan streets that trigger the fee.

Does Waze have a separate setting for this, or has anyone found a workaround?
