Waze Navigation & Live Traffic 4+

Been a Wazer for a number of years now and swear by it, particularly for regular journeys on known routes where there is likely to be traffic issues to avoid and getting to football matches on time. One niggle though and this has been an issue on my current car (2016 BMW 2 series gran tourer) and previous car (2012 Vauxhall Astra) - the Bluetooth connectivity is erratic: it always cuts off the first second or two of navigation instruction speech when the car radio is on, or no radio is on. It does work fine if playing when using the iPhone as an audio source, ie iTunes or another app, it actually fades the sound out and the navigation over it, as you’d expect. When on radio setting it just cuts across it completely, but misses the first word or two. Also, actually connecting it to Bluetooth is temperamental, regularly there is no sound at all, this is when charging the iPhone via the lightening/USB port whilst trying to navigate using Bluetooth. It is difficult to force a Bluetooth connection as it defaults to a dock connection and cannot be overridden. Generally I find myself unplugging the charger a lot and even stopping the ignition to try and reset. A friend with a VW Golf and iPhone also has the same issues. I’m on an iPhone X and always update to the latest iOS software and latest version of Waze straight away.

On my iPhone XS Max, in landscape mode the screen goes white and does not allow me to do anything, this happens on occasions and has caused me to have to use google maps instead of WAZE on a couple of occasions. I love this navigation software, it’s great, it’s accurate, it’s reliable, your alerted by almost all of the speed cameras in the country, where police sit ( if been reported ), where accidents or roads works have occurred, it’s a great app, apart from the recent issue that started occurring. I use this app every time I jump in the car, most the time it’s not even set to a destination, it’s just on so I can collect miles ( points ), and see where any potential traffic/roadworks are. Super helpful, I have rated a 4 star, will change to 5* when the issue with the white screen is sorted. Thanks WAZE!!
