From Wassym:

Real-time alerts from Waze are coming to R1 and R2 in-vehicle navigation, starting with speed cameras and police reports in the 2026.31 OTA update. More data and alerts to follow!

This update is shaping up to be so big that it’ll take half a day to install.

Great! Now give me Microsoft Teams notifications.

They are a voice to text feature away from killing off my CarPlay arguments. THIS is honestly awesome. I’m one of Wassym’s biggest critics around here and I can’t help but applaud…

But it’s still missing CarPlay

Even though it doesn't say it, I REALLY hope that this isn't tied to a C+ subscription. Waze is the primary reason I keep my phone mounted on the dash. This looks like it will come close to meeting my needs.

Will be perfect timing if I can get it before I head out to Colorado from So Cal at Thanksgiving-time.

OH! YEAH!!! I just started using Waze this past month! Great to know!

I might be taking that same trip around the same time as well!

This alone will make me start thinking longer term about my Riv stable.

Waze was one of the reasons why I used CarPlay. I just hope we’re able to receive alerts without actively navigating to a destination. I open my iPhone now while driving and launch Waze just to receive the alerts.

I'm gonna hate this update unless it shows wazers that I'm king.

Brace for 10+ pages of complaints over Connect+ subscription fee.

Ha!! I plan on leaving the Friday before Thanksgiving and coming back the day after Thanksgiving. Actually traveling to Boulder area. This way I can avoid the worst of the holiday traffic. I'll have to flex my departures if it's actively snowing in the Rockies as I-70 can close or require chains (from what I hear) and I only have 21 all-season tires.

Having Waze in the native nav would be perfect for this drive (about 1000 miles). Unfortunately I plan on using Tesla superchargers as they are the best price (with subscription) and also trying out the couple of Ionna chargers en-route. Researching my options now to be prepared!

Cool! Yeah, same here, 21” all-season tires. I’ll be traveling to the Boulder/Fort Collins area most likely. My travel hasn’t been finalized yet though - hoping it will be by October though.

Only 10+ pages? I'll take the over at 26 again

I only believe about 25% of what Wass says, but if this does actually materialize (and soon) it will be a really welcome addition. Don't get me wrong, Waze is really great, but by far the speed trap warnings are it's stand-out feature!
