Tesla Waze no longer works in browser

[pothos]

First post… welcome
If you are still on 2021, I’d say you have MCU1
Only known way to get the newest updates is to upgrade to MCU2.

Thanks for your reply.
I just received a call back from tesla after 5 hrs waiting.
They said I will receive a update to 2022 version soon (not sure when).

After latest update to 2022.8.2 teslawaze is back working again like it use to.

In the past I could get weather as an overlay on teslawaze. Did that go away completely, or is there something I could do to get that part working?

I'll try it whenever I can drive the car (gf has it 75% of the time since it's our only car in the driveway)

Return of experience after a few weeks: Waze works again... but pay attention as Waze opens: it works for a very limited time: Browser closes after a short while.
It will close in a few second or a few minutes after it loads. No patterns found yet. But that's just what I see.
So nice to have a quick check on what's reported in Waze around my area, but not much more.

Upgraded to 2022.4.5.3 a while back, and with this version, Waze runs fine for about one hour or so, then crashes the browser.
I haven't received yet 2022.8.2

It still crashes after a while but at least now we have a large web screen back instead of the small one.

Yeah, it does still crash. I find that if I reboot the car before a trip it seems to do much better.

Since we're talking about browser geolocation support, this site works now too.
If you're parked on a clear day it's kind of fun to do plane spotting!

Go to the web browser in your car and go on Waze website.

Or with this This app lets you run Android Auto on a Tesla over the browser

Use this link in your car's browser. I prefer it over any other version.

Since you mentioned geolocation support...
here is a more detailed technical explanation of why the car location now has a more limited resolution from the original Teslawaze developer.

They no longer pass thru the heading information.
Also the latitude/longitude resolution is limited to only 3 decimal points.
This causes the car icon (direction) to jump around, especially in the horizontal position.

Below is the issue. You can see the longitude is only accurate to three decimal places.
That is between 250-500ft of accuracy lost, which is about the size of a city block.
They also use to give heading info, and now that is also not provided.

Very interesting. I'm just glad it works as well as it does, I tend to zoom out a bit to get a wider view anyway.

Are you on an older firmware?
Even on mine (2022.8.3) it can require a refresh and sometimes crashes the browser. But it still works more often than not.

I haven't received yet 2022.8.2

My 2015 MS90D has this same problem after v11 only in my case it works for 5-10 minutes then the browser goes back to a Tesla start up screen & Google search. Re-selecting the the Waze app works, but is "dangerous" in that it is an unnecessary distraction. Is this new behavior intentional to stop leaving a web page open?

Yes, it's annoying and it's been a problem for as long as the geolocation has worked. I've found that rebooting the car os before a trip helps. Not sure after the update. I have a drive this weekend I'll try it out on.
Overall it is much faster than it used to be, But now when it relaunches it selects the search bar and brings up the keyboard, which is worse than just crashing and reloading.

Since the post you quoted I received 2022.12.3.2
It’s a new browser which finally remembers that I agreed to share the location with that site. Brilliant.
However, now Waze crashed almost immediately… within a minute or two.
I’m happy to see Tesla is still trying to make the browser work but this is a really long journey and we’re not there yet.
