How can I disable Google Maps on Android Auto
I like to use Waze on Android Auto.

I like to use Waze on Android Auto. I have these issues
- Even though I have Waze as the first app and Maps as the last app, Google Maps invariably shows up in the first few apps.
- I use Waze all the time, saying "Hey Google, take me somewhere" works most of the time.
- Sometimes it launches Maps instead, even though Waze is already running.
- I then say "Hey Google, use Waze to take me somewhere", this works half the time, the other half, it still uses Maps.
This becomes extremely annoying when I am already driving. I have to pull over and physically reconnect the phone, sometimes I have to manually select Waze from the apps.
**Is there a way to permanently remove Maps or disable it in Android Auto**

What does an orange street symbolize in Waze?
I wonder what an orange street symbolizes in Waze. Example in Washington state, USA: [![enter image description here][1]][1] Traffic jam? No traffic jam, but slow street? Something else? I believe the traffic jams I've seen on Waze were red, not orange. [1]: https://i.sstatic.net/yxV9d.png

Waze voice commands never work
I love using the Waze navigation app. However, when I am driving, I can never get voice commands to work. I've tried and tried.

I love using the Waze navigation app. However, when I am driving, I can never get voice commands to work. I've tried and tried. It always complains it didn't catch that, and sometimes without even waiting to try and capture my voice. I don't understand why.
In Marshmallow, I've disabled its ability to record audio completely because it screws up Google voice's ability to capture any commands at all, and for a pointless feature that doesn't work right.
Is there something I have set up wrong? Is there somewhere I can report a bug (with the hope of getting a response)?
