So your dock is made to hold the phone sideways only? What dock is it?

For a while, I had a broken windshield mount, from which the phone cradle could be separated. The cradle, with my phone in it, fit perfectly sideways within the lid of the storage compartment below the radio in the Prius I had at the time. I couldn't justify spending $$ on a new mount at the time, so I used it like that for a while. It was pretty far from my line-of-sight, but it looked like it belonged there.

Waze is useless without landscape. I am going to have to use something else until this feature is added.
That's odd that it hadn't switched to landscape mode. Waze does support landscape and has done so for a very long time. Maybe switching the iPad's rotation lock on and then off again would have fixed it.

It is just awful when you are using it in landscape and it goes back to portrait/vertical when you want to navigate or give some specific alert.
Does Waze do this? I used to use Waze exclusively in landscape (some time ago) and I was able to do just about everything in landscape mode. It's been a while, maybe it's new bugs, or maybe it's specific to App Radio.

After shutting the iPad down and bringing it back up Waze rotated into landscape mode. Yay!

Personally I prefer portrait, but I use landscape as I also use my phone as a blackbox, so the video is much better recorded in landscape.

My cell phone I use the vertical mode. My 10 inch tablet I use landscape mode. If there is something ahead on the road, landscape mode helps me locate alt routes around me better than the normal vertical mode does. Also since my tablet is so big, it doesn't block my view in landscape.
