Speed camera warning pops up in the upper left corner, together with the other one in the bottom, and it's not possible to close it. It covers the navigational window and you don't know when is the next turn. The only solution is to disconnect the phone and connect it again.
I am not using Waze in my CarPlay until they push an update. This made driving to dangerous for me. I have this same issue after 4.60 update

Edit: support asked me to reinstall Waze and it seems have fixed it for now

Most other apps now close automatically when I unplug the iPHone but Waze continues to run in the background and the iPhone reports that it continues to monitor my location. I know I can manually swipe it to the top of the screen to close it but I’d like an option for it to automatically close when I disconnect like other Carplay apps.
If you have your motion and fitness data turned on, when you start walking, it should shutdown properly

That’s really strange. As long as my navigation has ended, my Waze app always quits on its own when I get out of the car

That’s a strange issue for sure. I have not experienced this myself.


For the users with issues in CarPlay, support has confirmed they are fixing alerts in an upcoming release.

Sometimes the Alert will move to the upper left hand corner of the Apple CarPlay screen and cannot be cleared. "Stop"ping the route and resuming will not clear the stuck alert. Stopping the route, then using the phone to kill the Waze app will restore a clear screen.

I look forward to the promised Apple update for Waze, as the current version is very distracting when driving.
FYI, unplugging the cable and plugging it back in also clears the alerts. I have reported this issue and debug logs to Waze multiple times. Hoping with the next big update, they address the problem

I now have lane guidance available in the app but it doesn't show in CarPlay for me yet.

No this is one of the limitations of CarPlay actually. it's unfortunate because some stations don't have pricing updates that happen automatically so it relies entirely on user submissions

Does anyone know if or when dual screens over Carplay will be supported ? To get navigation instructions in a HUD or instrument cluster display additionnal to the main Carplay display. For now only Apple Maps seems to support this...

Cheers,
CJ
Google Maps also supports it and Apple added in support for third party apps to use that dashboard view, but Waze hasn't taken advantage of it yet. Hopefully they will soon

I used Waze this morning with my built-in CarPlay in the UK and the speed limit was still there.
But later in the afternoon I drove back and there was no speed limit shown anymore although I was still getting the audio warning when reaching the limit.
