Great, to tie in with Apple 🍎 s next update. I changed ti android just for Waze . Hope Spotify is in same format as on google

Never understood the craze about waze, just another more or less useless sat nav app.
If it was only running on partially eaten apples I wouldn't change to another phone just for it.

Going to try Waze, but is there anything else freed up by the update to iOs12?
-
Only use Waze so I know where the rozzers are sat.

I'm interested in this feature :laugh:
How does it work? Is it just common mobile speed camera sites? Does it include locations for GATSOs and the average speed cameras?
I can get all the speed cameras on the native VW satnav but it has a tendency to take me off a motorway to go straight back on at the same junction :angry:

Its everything!
Waze hazard data is user driven.... you spot something, you hit a button to mark it and then everyone knows where something is.
For permanent speed cameras, they are static - if you mark one that's not there, it needs others to report it before it becomes a permanent fixture.
I tell you, its an awesome system, really, really good.
Its free, why not try it when you can.

Gotta agree, by far the best and most upto date sat nav from all the ones I've tried.
I'll use it for all journeys, even if I know exactly where I'm going for the alerts. The traffic data also comes "live" from the other Waze users, so as long as it's a popular route, I expect that is also more accurate than other sat navs.

Have you actually tried it, sounds like you haven't.

Installed the latest IS0 12.0 today, plugged my phone it into my car but no waze on the CarPlay screen?
Do I need to make any adjustments to any settings?

Had the same frustration myself, but a bit of googling found that it requires an update to the waze app, or, indeed the google maps app, to enable use on CarPlay. The updates to both are, apparently, being checked out by beta users and should be available to us sometime next month. Don’t understand why they weren’t ready, given all the hype and anticipation, but that’s how it is.

Google maps has been updated on the UK apple store today to include car play :)
Not tried it yet myself!

Cool cheers :cool:
On a separate note, I’ve noticed on two separate journeys now since updating to iOS 12 that I’ve been getting the Facebook messenger dings through the car speakers even though there’s no messenger CarPlay app? Anyone any ideas?

Yes, got this working on ours. Not tried it out yet, but going on a trip tomorrow, so “I may be some time!”

Tried it this morning. I like the satellite view and traffic shows up pretty well but I'd prefer a more 3D/birdseye view rather than 2D. Couldn't see anything in the settings.

We’ve been using Google Maps as navigation in my wife’s Skoda Fabia, which doesn’t have satnav fitted, but does have CarPlay. Works very well with good instructions. Not much choice offered as to presentation, but it seems much more current than Discover Nav regarding traffic flow etc. No speed camera information, though, so still keen to try Waze, when they get their act together!

Waze is up and running.

I have tried it and found it a bit useless; not an awful lot of functionality. I had speedcam database on my mk7; and with WiFi the DM2 system was reasonably good with traffic as well.
With that combo I just didn't see Waze being all it was hyped for.

Waze is up and running.
Tried it out briefly and found it competent enough. Will be trying on a longer journey where speed camera warnings etc. come into play.
One huge advantage, over Discover Nav, of either is the ability to simply search for virtually any destination. Much simpler than trying to find POIs etc. Neither seem to use much data to perform, so no hit there, either.

I have now got Google Maps and Waze installed on Apple car play and they work fine when I want them to. The only thing that is bugging me now is even though I have not selected to use them and let’s say I am using Amazon music or Spotify instead, the Nav display in the active info display stops working and says mobile Nav is in use when it’s not. Any ideas whether I can stop this happening or what I have/haven’t done to stop this from happening??

I have the same since using Waze and it’s bugging me also. Only way I can get it back currently is set the Satnav to start a route and then stop it.

Shouldn’t have to do that but worth it I suppose to keep the other functionality of App Connect :undecided:

I might have found a way around this. On your phone even when I closed the app it still said it was active, however if you go into search in ware there is a power button on the top right I pressed this and it put waze to sleep. Since I have done that it is back to normal for me.

Excellent. Will give it a try however, got in it tonight plugged the phone in and car navigation in AID and Apple Car Play opened up as normal :shocked:

was out today had the Waze up and running as usual. first time ive seen this but a notification popped up warning me of a pot hole in 0.10 of a mile. slowed down,looked out for it and there it was. very impressed.
-
yep, Waze is awesome, It has told me about police ahead and red light and speed cameras many times, life saver.

Always use Waze when I'm running late for work. 😉
