Complaints from BMW drivers on Google's forums suggest that the problem lies with Waze or Android Auto, as downgrading Waze does not resolve the issue. However, Google Maps continues to function correctly with the head-up display, indicating that the glitch might be related to Android Auto.
Unfortunately, no official patch has been released yet, leaving users to seek alternative solutions. Some have resorted to using Waze on the infotainment screen, a less convenient option compared to the head-up display. However, until the issue is resolved, this workaround allows BMW owners to continue using Waze.
Despite this setback, Waze remains a popular navigation solution on Android and iPhone devices due to its community-driven traffic reporting system. The app enables users to report traffic incidents, making trips more predictable.
As of now, there is no specific timeline for when a patch might be available, as Google has not prioritized addressing such issues quickly. Until then, BMW drivers may have to stick to Google Maps for a more stable and reliable navigation experience on the head-up display.
