Waze for iOS Updated With CarPlay Support

Did you read my post? The second line very nicely summarizes the entire thing - "2/3 of the screen is covered in crap that isn't the map". The CarPlay UI is ludicrously busy.
Tested and quite happy with it, I must say! Froze the carplay and had an app crash once, need ro check its behaviour with other sound sources.
Feels new and fresh. People complaining about the interface experience need to know that the map usage in third party apps is restricted and fed by iOS in perhaps a different way than the general freedom on gets as a dev in the phone interface...

I just tried Waze for iOS CarPlay on my 2016 Ford Fusion Titanium Hybrid (with 3rd party updated Ford display with Sync 3 on it). Waze shows up as an option now and its great. I also like the Google satellite view option just added. CarPlay has been great and getting updated of late with really useful updates. Love it.
[doublepost=1537944618][/doublepost]I agree, help ! I can't get the map back on the phone screen, only on head unit screen.
Considering the sound issue:
Why not simply kill the app? I mean quit it...? Or do you háve to use waze while driving? Kinda would be strange to have Carplay and be able to use Waze without it.
If you wanna get rid of Waze on CarPlay:
Settings / General / CarPlay / tap your car model and press the minus.

For those of you who aren't familiar with Waze:
it uses user information, both passive and active updates, to inform other users about current traffic load, accidents, road hazards, speed traps and other things.
In places where there are many Waze users , you get valuable current information that help you save time. Israel, where Waze was/is developed, is one such place. Probably more than 25% of the Israeli drivers are using it.
Google purchased Waze in 2014, especially for the user data.
Nowadays Google maps real-time updates take advantage of part of the data made available by Waze.

Nope, I've done that and Waze still takes over my radio screen, even with it removed from carplay settings... I've had to turn carplay off entirely because of this.
Before I got CarPlay in my new car, I used Waze exclusively. But I've been using Apple Maps in CarPlay and I like it, plus it connects to my Apple Watch to send haptic vibrations when nearing crossroads, etc. I need to try out Waze and see how it works.
That sounds completely ridiculous... Well, I was just giving the logical explanation and hadn’t tested it myself.
I don’t see what’s wrong with Waze then...
