  @waze It's not an individual issue, it's a platform issue. You guys have your directions set to "idiot" mode across all versions of your app. It used to just tell you when you needed to turn, and now it tells you when you don't need to turn. It's annoying and unnecessary.

  I’m referring to the built in Waze and ABRP apps in the vehicles software, they are separate apps that you need to download from the play store in your truck. Those apps work great on my phone and they offer them as apps in the truck, but the versions in the truck do not work. For example both apps you can’t enter destinations while driving, they crash, bugs like your routing disappearing after starting drive etc. The stock Google Maps app works great tho so thats good at least.

  So Mr Wolf’s voice is on Israeli app Waze. I thought consumer choice was the key to solving problems?

  @googlemaps trying to fix my maps, precise location is on as well as notifications, it'll see my location for a bit, then say my location is out of days and never updated. It will find other contacts I have sharing with, just not me. HERE we go, and Waze works perfectly.

  Haha, isn’t that the truth? Even a passenger can’t enter directions, as the keyboard is not available while driving. The same issue arises with Google Maps, but with Google Maps, you can use your voice to navigate to destinations, unlike Waze or ABRP. I’m sure they’ll add voice navigation eventually. The point I was trying to make in my original post was that all the reviewers who review Android automotive OS comment on how it has the Play Store and is great because you can download third-party apps. However, it’s not that good. For instance, there’s no Apple Music app, and the other mapping apps don’t work well. The Audible app also doesn’t sync your book listening progress back to the Audible cloud. For example, if I listen to a book on my phone and stop at chapter 2, then open Audible in the truck, it will start where I left off on my phone. However, when I switch back to my phone after driving, it’s not synced back to my phone. There are just so many things that could be improved with this Android automotive OS. I do love the truck though, but coming from a Tesla it is seriously lacking in the software department.

  @Tesla, please invest in adding Waze to the maps. Real-time crash reports are so needed. I shouldn’t have to open Waze to discover why I’m stuck in traffic.

  @DrKnowItAll16 @Erdayastronaut I run Waze every time I drive and it always gets the speed right. Assuming they are using Google data. If Tesla could do the same that’d probably fix most of it.

  Standard traffic maps (e.g., Google Maps, Waze, TxDOT) use icons like exclamation marks or crash symbols for accidents, not prohibition circles. No sources confirm prohibition symbols for incidents. The precise overlay on Chabad sites, plus the caption "they follow," implies anti-Semitic ubiquity, not popularity. Your interpretation ignores context.

  @rebel1996 @tijmenschreur @itskyleconner Yeah you can’t type directions into Waze or ABRP because it says keyboard not available and there’s no option to use voice either. I did reach to ABRP and they said they were already working on an update for android automotive. So that’s good at least

  @jordan_patten @tijmenschreur @itskyleconner I use Google Maps myself, but my mother and brother haven't run into problems with Waze when they use it. Is it supposed to have just the logo that you touch when you open it? That appears to be laggy a bit.

  @TshepoBacela I once heard a story on the radio by this one lady of how She got a lift from a man and when He was dropping her He gave her a R200 note. Problem started when She used the money. Everytime She would get what She brought but the money would also come back as is. Waze wayilahla

  @Stammzilla My google maps don’t warn me like Waze though? Any ideas how to fix?

  @Gu77edpossum @LastOutlaw1993 The problem is Waze is owned by google. So will fall under the same rules.

  @waze I understand the benefit of connecting my calendar to waze. But why does it have to tell me when to leave for shabbat? I am not going anywhere. It need to understand not all calendar entries have a destination. In this case location is a city which explains the issue but I want a better way to exclude it.

  @SenAnaliseOrtiz Big difference. Waze warns drivers to slow down, not to evade or escape police. Tipping off illegal immigrants to dodge ICE is obstruction of justice. It comes down to intent.
