Waze recently underwent notable changes, introducing a simplified reporting experience, albeit accompanied by some unintended bugs. A reader inquired about the absence of the speed indicator in the latest Waze update, which sparked an investigation revealing the issue affects CarPlay users.
In addition to the speed limit, both the speed and speed limit indicators are missing in CarPlay, though unaffected on mobile devices or Android Auto.
Restarting Waze on the iPhone or infotainment system resolves the issue at times, but not consistently. Some users resort to reinstalling Waze, albeit temporarily effective.
Waze is aware of the bug and plans to address it in an upcoming update scheduled for release soon. This bug coincides with Waze’s introduction of a new dark mode map interface on CarPlay, with similar rollout plans for Android Auto.
Waze began rolling out alerts for speed bumps and sharp curves, initially available to mobile users. Map editors must update maps with speed bump locations before CarPlay and Android Auto users receive these warnings in a subsequent update.
