• Like the other requests, please bring back the current speed display. Due to oversized tires, the speed displayed on my phone is more accurate than my truck's speedometer.
• Scrolling is poor - JVC KW-M730BT. I blame my head unit but it is what it is. User experience is poor scrolling the map.
• I miss not being able to get to other screens while navigating but I'll get used to it.

That's a bummer. Mazda disables the touch screen while the car is moving, so there really isn't a way to check/change alternate routes without a serious risk of crashing until they add it.

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.

I have submitted this internally as a feature request. For some reason the app team does not consider voice support in CarPlay feature parity as when using just the app on the phone w/o CarPlay. Right now traction is slow as the weighted priority of suggestion is not getting enough votes so I'll have to keep monitoring it.

Fully-native support for Waze's voice assistant is probably difficult to implement because of all kinds of conflicts that would cause with Apple's Siri. It's unlikely Apple will allow Siri to be disabled in CarPlay, since that would defeat some CarPlay-critical functionality outside of Waze (think voice interactions with text-messages, one of CarPlay's biggest selling points). It's also unlikely that Apple will allow some kind of voice cue to an unrestricted hand-off to a 3rd-party app, such as "Hey Siri, tell Waze to..." - from a platform-security standpoint, if nothing else.

A few minutes later, a red light alert popped up. This obviously alerted me to the fact that Waze was still running in the background even though I had stopped navigation and switched to a different app on CarPlay. Now I know why I flew through my data last month!
Is there a way to stop Waze from running in the background on Apple CarPlay?

The only way to do this is to actually "Power Off" Waze from the menu in the app. If you merely stop the navigation or leave the app and switch to another app, it stays running in the background so it can help contribute data. Depending on your plan size, I would be surprised if Waze was the culprit of your high data usage. I use Waze everyday to and from work (25 miles each way) also on my long drives a few times a month (4+ hours each way) and usually only reach around 300-400 MB of data usage each month from Waze.

Thanks! I checked how much data Waze has been using and it wasn't even the culprit lol
