Unlock screen and show maps only before turns

Post by nikos2wheels
Is there a way to use Waze in the following way?

While navigating the screen is off. Before there is a turn or some notification about the navigation the screen turns on and shows you the map. The screen turns off again after you have taken the turn or the notification is over.

I am using Nexus 5x.

I am asking this question because a friend of mine said that on his Iphone he can use it this way with Apple Maps. So I assume that Waze must have the same functionality.

Waze needs to learn from the OSM App, it does all very nice.

Nikos2wheels,
I am not aware of any option to make Waze act like that. You can of course turn the screen off, but it will not turn on automatically. It would be a nice option to save battery and screen on time.

Good Luck!
