Google’s other navigation app, Waze, is an incredibly useful way to stay on top of your route, but the app has been suffering lately from Android Auto and CarPlay lag issues for some.
A popular support thread on the Google forums, as well as a second one on Waze’s own forums, show that quite a few Waze users are seeing lag issues with CarPlay and Android Auto.
The problem is that the app struggles to keep up with touch input and show updates on the display. Regardless of whether there is active navigation or not, the application simply starts experiencing freezes and other problems after a few minutes. In some cases, the location shown on the display may be disabled and the vehicle is shown in a different location. As far as CarPlay is concerned, Waze is considered by some users to be “killing” the platform, but the problems stop as soon as Waze is no longer used.
Most of these reports seem to come from CarPlay users, but Android Auto appears to be affected by the same underlying issue.
It’s unclear exactly who is to blame, but the good news is that other mapping applications were not affected. This means you can still use Google Maps or Apple Maps if this issue affects you.
A product expert on the Google forums said that an internal bug report has been sent to Waze developers, but there is no specific timeline for when to expect a fix on any of the platforms.
