I'm not sure Waze has anything to do here...if Mazda disables the touchscreen, sounds like you need to reach out to them.

You can still check/change alt routes on your phone screen.

Yes, that would be a Waze item for consideration...not something I've heard them discuss as being anywhere on the roadmap currently. And since you can check them on your phone still (I know it's not handsfree but the idea is you're checking routes prior to being mobile), not sure it's something they would even use development hours for at this point...happy to pass it along though.

CarPlay is still new. Enhancements will continue to be included in subsequent releases.

I'm not sure what kind of arrow you want. The police marker is geo-tagged and the intent is that the marker is at the location of where the officer is sitting or in very close proximity to that marker.

Some items will never be in CarPlay...some exciting new items are coming in the next couple of versions so stay tuned. The Waze devs will continue to add as many enhancements that Apple will allow and that look great in the UI.

On the phone you see a bar on the left showing the position within an "average speed camera" zone.
On the car display this bar is hidden behind some other information (time, other icons,...).
Is this something that can be solved in the waze app or is this a car issue?

Thanks
It's a scaling issue. Waze is aware and working on it.

Updated previous post with correct phone model and IOS version.
This is a Ford Sync issue. Waze & Ford are working to resolve this quickly.

Waze is aware of most issues with iOS 13. They just started working on these bugs within the last week or two so don't worry, Waze will be ready to go once iOS 13 is publically released.

I would go under the Voice & Sound options in the app and toggle 'Play sound via' and see what you get.

I don’t know if this has been discussed previously under this thread, I tried searching and didn’t find anything.
Waze can't change how CarPlay works. Apple controls that...just simply tap the Waze icon again on the left side of the CarPlay screen and your map is back in the foreground and your phone call is still active. Use the steering wheel controls to end the call or just wait for them to hang up.

Go to Settings > Voice & sound > and change the sound output (Play sound via...).
