Just updated my iPhone Xr to the latest IOS 13.3.1
As of my last three trips using Waze I have not gotten the white or blank screen or any distorted
display of the maps.
Hopefully this update to 13.3.1 has fixed the problem.
I will continue to monitor my Waze usage and will post if the problem resurfaces for me in the future.

Happy to report no more blank maps after updating my IOS to 13.3.1 on my iPhone Xr
Seems like the apple update has finally fixed this problem.

Thank you for fixing most issues. I can now see the speed limit while in navigation mode.

Other notes.

The size of the black boxes are still I’m my opinion too big. Can these be reduced in size??

While navigating, the big purple speech bubbles indicating what road you are on are massive!!! Totally disproportionate to the rest of icons on the map.

In fact there is no need for these to be there at all. The turn by turn let’s you know this. These bubbles jump all over the screen as soon as they reach the edge of the viewable area . This is very distracting while driving. It’s not subtle at all. I would suggest removing these big purple bubbles. As the serve no purpose. And makes the nice looking map a mess.

I too would like the option of being able to disable Waze/CarPlay from taking over the screen, sometimes I’d rather have control over something else & just be able to report issues, which I can do easily on the small screen.

I'm having real issues with Waze knocking out my car audio (Radio) when I'm connected to Car Play, as well as the app freezing and it's driving me nuts - It's no longer usable.
I used the have the same issue but disconnecting and reconnecting to car play used to resolve, but now it doesn't so I've had to switch the google maps which is sadly not as good.

I'm on Waze version 4.71.2 and iOS 14.4 and connecting to Car Play using a USB cable.
Any ideas please or is this just a major bug that needs resolving?

Hi everyone,

recently I noticed a problem with route changing.
Particularly if I change from the green route to the violet one, as you can see in the attached video, when I look back at the "routes menu" nothing changed, the green one is the one selected; but most important, even the driving directions do not change !
https://mega.nz/file/4hlWHRbR#PIIlGmfYi ... AucNXeHD_E


P.S. I've already been told that the "routes menu" reset itself whenever you click on it, so the fact that the highlighted route it's always the green one (fastest route) could be "normal", but the directions problem remains.

Any help or solutions ?  Thanks in advance, Rick

I can then go back and select the radio again and all is well. This is not my WAZE issue....but an annoyance with CarPlay.

Once carplay starts, as soon as waze says "traffic camera ahead", there is nothing I can do to get the in-car radio back.....other than disconnect carplay completely (at which point the radio comes back immediately). The really strange part is that if I am actually using waze for navigation, this problem doesn't occur....waze speaks and the radio returns. It's only when I'm not using waze for navigation that waze and it finds a traffic camera, it then seizes and keep the audio after telling me about the camera. Very latest IOS and WAZE,, iphone 13 on a 22 Porsche Macan.
 


 
does this happen even if you manually close the traffic camera alert by clicking on the pop up that appears on the car screen?

Hello, I have an 'issue' using Waze with CarPlay.
In CarPlay I have the display settings standard set to Dark, because I like the Dark mode above the Light/Daytime mode. I have set the settings in the Waze App to Automatic. However, most of the time, let's say 90% Waze is shown in the Dark mode during daytime, but sometimes, the other 10% or less, Waze is shown in the Light/Daytime mode. In contrast to the dark mode of CarPlay I like the Light/Daytime mode of Waze during daytime more then the Dark mode. It looks like the Dark- / Light mode is chosen Ad Random. How can and can it, the light mode set to the light mode by default during day time?
Thanks in advance.

Apologies for quoting myself, but is there anyone who recognizes my issue. It is really annoying. I want to use Waze in Light-mode mode during daytime and in Dark-mode during the evening and night. How can this be set? Because still for let's say 99% Waze is showed in dark-mode during daytime and sometimes, very rare, it is showed in light-mode.

Who recognizes and can help?

Edit: as if the devil is playing with it, I just had to leave the house and indeed Waze was shown in light-mode...... :twisted: :roll:
