The great Google Waze navigation alternative for several days has been fully adapted to Android Auto Coolwalk so that it combines all the strengths it already has, the possibility of seeing its indicators both in full screen and in tiles. With this app, it has once again been in the top 1 among the best browsers for Android Auto for the Waze server, but in general, with every update, it is common for a strange bug to pop up. Or, directly, an incomprehensible innovation in the form of absence: Waze no longer supports most voice commands for Android Auto..

One of the best safety decisions you can make with Android Auto while behind the wheel bet on voice commands: Allows you to change songs, call someone or set a route without taking your eyes off the road or your hands on the steering wheel. And for example, close to fifty voice commands you can use with Google Assistant and Android Auto.

Until a few days ago, like Google Maps and other services, Waze powered Google Assistant voice commands For something as useful as asking him to tell us how we can get to Seville, or asking him to tell you the nearest gas station as you can see, here are the two basic and most useful orders. Precisely for this reason, it has been surprising that voice commands to certain sites have been causing problems lately, leading to the belief that this is a bug, as reported by 9to5Google.

Goodbye See you later in voice commands with Waze in Android Auto

Nothing is further from reality: this is intentional. After some users contacted Waze customer service to report issues with voice commands, Waze explained::

After reading your report, you explain how Google Assistant currently works with Waze in Android Auto.

The only voice commands currently available in Waze on Android Auto”drive home” And “drive to work“. Our development team is working to implement all functions of Google Assistant.

Which leaves us with good and bad news. The downside is that we can currently only use voice commands to navigate to preset home and work addresses, but this predictably soon we will be able to fully reuse Google assistant voice commands. Of course there is no return date.
