Waze on Automotive Head Unit Spinning (Compass Problem)

Post by world_2wwnwoau
Many have already noticed that the Waze is constantly spinning on the devices HU Snapdagon 680, 662, 625

The main reason is the lack of a compass in the device.
Maybe someone has some suggestions on how to improve, remove the spinning.

When lack GPS signal virtual compass based on GPS movements set direction to the North (000) for sec... The Waze starts to rotate to the North.

Maybe the developers can check for the compass, and if it is not missing on the device, then make a compass delay, and not turn if the compass data is 000 North.

I think this hasn't gotten a response because this is an issue with the device you're using, rather than the app. You might consider contacting the manufacturer or your head unit. If Waze can implement a fix, you'll want to go through Waze support
