a couple of months ago, the directions box was aligned to the left of the screen.
Have you switched to another device recently? Maybe the alignment vary according to the phone we use. Take a look at the screenshot I took about one week ago.

In addition, you could try one of the following options:
1 - On Android Auto, go to Settings\Developer Settings, tap on Video Resolution and try different resolutions;

2 - Change the text size in the settings menu of you phone.

I've tried
- uninstalling. Reinstalling the app.
- providing more permissions to waze to use the location outside the app.
-setting waze as my default navigation on my phone

I read online that you can switch the navigation app in the android auto app. But I can't seem to find this setting.
Is there someone who had the same problem or knows how to switch waze on ?

I tried using an iphone to see if waze wasn't working with apple car play. However the waze app does show when using an iPhone.

Also the waze app itself kind of changes from the normal view to the android auto view on my phone's screen, when the phone is connected to the car.

My friend has the same car and android auto works flawless, I still have to check with him if my phone works with his care.
Hi!

Does your headunit support Android Auto and Carplay?

Hey @meerkat_mafia!

Please enter the code ##@rawgps into the search box in the standalone app, and then click on search.
By doing that, RAW GPS will be enabled and a yellow arrow will be displayed next to the blue arrow on the map.

The yellow arrow is the actual position the GPS of your phone is reading. Please check if it seems to be correct when the issue happens.

In addition, please try to disable the battery saver settings of your phone.

I hope it helps!

Waze are aware of the issue and are working on a fix. Mentioned in another post.
Work around, open Google maps and then Waze.
Open auto Android on the phone first and then plug into car aa

No but read on AA section on Waze forum that AA v4.8 has helped.
I just updated mine from v4.7, so will find out later, if it worked for me or not.

I Also had the same issue as reported in the latest posts.
In my case I'm using the Waze on Android Auto with Opel Intellink 900.

[CUT]

So how I solved it? Just go to the App general settings and disable the "Keep screen on" and "Keep Scren on during call"

Actually these two optins only make sense to keep on if you are using the app on the phone, on AA doesn't make sense.
Since I disabled them all the issues are gone.

hi, thanks for your post, i have an opel astra with intellink 900 too e waze stops working after a while i'm using it.
now i have changed these 2 options and in these days i'll try waze again.. fingers crossed :D :D

AA works brilliantly with Google Maps but with Waze the navigation stalls after a short period of time. On further investigation it seems to hang when the screen on my phone switches off - which is controlled by AA (no options to override). Pressing the home button switches the phone screen back on and Waze on the car screen comes alive again. Anyone have any ideas as obviously pressing the home button every few seconds just doesn't cut it? Back to Google Maps for the time being.
