Using Waze with Android Auto

Post by
I have installed the latest version of waze 4.27.0.1 on my Samsung S7

I have got android auto installed

When I click on the navigation icon it goes to google maps not waze

How can I set android auto so that it uses Waze not Maps?

When coming up on a marked object such as vehicle stopped or police etc.....the distance counts down from .5 to 0 as you get closer,this no longer happens when running thru android auto on my sync 3 system it stays at .5 but if i enter a destination it counts down the miles to next turn correctly,any other users seeing this?

Two issues.

First: You cannot perform contact search for addresses. It should include your contact addresses as part of the destination search results as it does when you use the app directly.

Second: The latest Waze update 4.45.1.0 now has this annoying turn by turn pop up that appears on the phone even though connected via Android Auto. This feature is not necessary whilst using Android Auto. Any such prompts should only appear in the Head Unit of the car not on the phone.

It is not the only App not being mirrored. Also the tabela fipe App is not shown on MBUX.

I would expect that, at least Waze could be mirrored.

 
I didn't understand about the tabela fipe...

When using waze on my honda through the android auto, how do I get the list of turns like I get when using just the phone? (not through android auto)

I just received an Android Auto update to version 4.8.594324. Hopefully this will fix the glitch.

Still doesn't work. I have to toggle to google maps then back to waze to make it work.

Fastindy85.... everything was fine with my S7 Active. Problem started for me about 10 days ago when I upgraded to S10+, so probably a phone upgrade isn't necessary.

Sometimes the bottom of the screen is cut off, not on main map screen but "sub screens"

I have sync 3 in my ford and samsung galaxy note 8. When using waze on car play it stops as soon as my phone screen turns off. If I push the power button to turn the screen back on it connects again. I have disabled the lock phone but really do not want to disable the screen time our as I accidently call people when I put the phone in my pocket and don't want to remember to turn my screen off after every time I use my phone.
There must me a setting I am not finding or a flaw.
