Waze not showing up in 48" display

[hinckley]

I couldn't agree more, but I've found that if you're running Waze in the center display, you're very limited on nav apps that will simultaneously run up on the 48" display. I've just posted in another thread that while running Waze in the center display, the only effective nav app that you can run in the larger display is native Google Maps.

Ya, that was my other thread on which nav apps work in the 48" display. Unfortunately, my ultimate conclusion is that it's only the native Google Maps and Apple Maps in CarPlay. But neither of those apps display all nav info in that display. It's crazy and very disappointing to me. Hopefully new releases will fix that.

Unfortunately, Google has stated that they have no plans to integrate Google Maps and Waze.

Integrate no, but mimic yes.

I have not tested this, but someone pointed out on Facebook that they were able to get Waze on the upper display screen when they installed Waze on to the car's Google Apps screen. In other words NOT using it with Apple CarPlay (where Waze is installed on your iPhone) or Android Auto (where Waze is installed on your Android phone). Install it directly to the car's apps. Then run it from the car's app screen. Do not run Waze from inside CarPlay or Android Auto.

I did download WAZE on the APPS screen same result no show on the central screen. I will try downloading the WAZE APP on the Google Apps screen and report back.

A few comments. I read recently that Alphabet has merged the Google Maps and Waze teams. So, I would expect Google Maps to get more of the Waze features. Second, after the Infotainment System update 24B09B, I found that when using the native Waze app (the one available from the Play store screen and not the one with Apple CarPlay), when using Waze for navigation to a destination, there now appears a small "next turn info box" on the upper Panorama display. It isn't really that useful as it is just a duplicate of the next turn info box on the 11" screen. This will not appear when using Waze with CarPlay.
What I normally do on a trip is first enter a destination in Google Maps. Once it has computed the route and is running, then I open the native Waze app on the 11" screen. The Google Map does not then disappear on the upper screen. That way you get live map updates with the Google Maps display, and you can still receive alerts and interact with Waze on the 11" screen. But once you use the Waze app for navigating to a destination, the Google Map on the upper screen disappears.
In all cases, I find all the 24 Navigator map options inferior to the standard Sirius Travelink and Inrix maps my previous Lincoln MKXs and Nautilus (Sync 1, 2 & 3) had. Those maps always clearly identified the road you were on and city you were in at every moment, and the maps clearly showed colors (green and red) for traffic flow whether you were navigating to a direction or not. Miles to destination and ETA were clearly shown. You could also enter multiple stops/waypoints for a long multiday trip and easily rearrange and edit the order. All this service was free for 5 years. Multiple times I would be alerted to a recommended re-routing and how much time it would save. Yes, maps had to be updated manually via USB a few times a year but that never caused a problem as most new roads and construction take years to complete. And if I wanted, Waze was an available app that ran in Sync in lieu of the built-in navigation maps. In my opinion, all this new technology was as step backwards.

Same thing with Apple Maps (via CarPlay). Program that first, then Waze. Apple Maps up top, Waze on the 11".

I agree that Google maps does a poor job showing the current road you are on. Mercedes maps also has an option to show the name of the next intersection, which is very cool and useful. As you are driving, the next intersection shows up at the top of the map.

Hi everyone. I have the 2024 Nautilus and so far I've been using CarPlay with it. Generally, I use Waze for my navigation. It shows up in the center touch screen but it's completely blank in the 48" display. I wanted to see if others were experiencing the same. Google Maps and Apple Maps show up no problem but not Waze. Thanks!

I have the same problem....major issues...I don't understand why they don't integrate it into the system already like Volvo and others ....bye Lincoln
