  1. More police icons

    I would like to see a feature where when a police is located you can have an option to say if it’s an RBT or mobile speed camera ect… have an option to say what police are there instead of just a police icon.

    Mobile speed camera
    RBT

  2. Select which lane a hazard or stopped vehicle is in on the motorway/freeway

    Users should be able to select which lane a hazard or stopped vehicle is in on the motorway/freeway.

    When driving on a multi-lane road, there's often reports of a hazard that cannot be seen. It would be more useful for "Which lane is the hazard in?" then select 1/2/3/4/5 so that drivers know specifically if it is likely to affect them.

  3. Organisation des icônes sur l’ecran

    L’icône donnant la vitesse n’est pas fonctionnel dans son positionnement. Il faudrait le positionner ou l’on veut l’idéal étant en haut à droite. Explication : lorsqu’il y a un radar, des bouchons, nous ne voyons plus la vitesse. Il faut donner la possibilité de positionner les icônes dont on a besoin et à l’endroit certain

  4. Audio alerts for speed and red light cameras

    My audio alerts for speed and red light cameras stopped working a few months ago. I'm running waze directly on my phone (Google pixel 7) with the latest version of Android OS and waze app installed. My settings for alerts are correct. I see the flashing camera on the map and text alert on the screen but audio alerts are not working. I live in NYC where cameras are on every other block. Constantly monitoring the phone screen for visual alerts while driving is annoying and dangerous. I see lots of similar posts with replies from waze that the issue…

  5. LOST OF RECORDING VOICE

    I lost the voce recording of my son who made 7 years ago. Waze carried out an update, I shared the voice with another person so as not to lose it, the other person received the voice, put it to work and when I deleted it from my cell phone to try to make it work again on my device it no longer appeared. Even with this sharing link I lost it. An irreparable loss as we have been using this recording all the time for seven years.

    My suggestion is that you store the voice in the account. Make…

  6. The traffic direction cant be seen

    When someone post bad traffic on any street and the app navigate you via that street, you can barely see the direction of the traffic. So me as a driver have to lean and stare at a phone up close and thats very dangerous, you agree.. so my solution is, make the red/orange traffic line visible only on one side of the direction line. Depending on the direction of the traffic, if traffic is in opposite direction of ours the visible line will be on the left side/margin and vice versa. I hope I explained it accurate, its easier to…

  7. Don't automatically start giving directions

    I say where to go, then look at rout and options. But before I can decide the app automatically starts yelling directions loudly (in restaurant it's embarrassing). Google Maps waits untill I press the Start button. Maybe that can be an option setting, I HATE your presumption and being forced!

  8. When in an EV, also show the regular Gas stations category in the Search menu

    I'm driving an EV, so Waze replaced the Gas stations category in the search menu with "EV charging" on Android Auto. However, many EV charging stations in my country are in the middle of nowhere, or at least don't have a place to grab a quick bite or refreshing drinks like the regular gas stations have. I tried using the "Food" and "Coffee" categories, but they just search for restaurants or coffee places and are not suitable for a quick stop along the way. Also, I can't enter text in the search box while driving and I can't search for…

  9. Remove background colour from street names

    Hi
    Could you please remove the colour at street names and make it very clear so we can see the turns and roundabout. Most of the time it's appear at turns so we get confused which exit on roundabout we have to take. It totally vanished the roundabout Most of the time. If you need a screenshot then i can show you how it distract a driver while driving.

  11. Customized pre-departure planned drive times

    I’d like a setting option to be able to customize the amount of time (in minutes) before my planned drive alerts me to leave for my destination. Typically I like to arrive at least 15 minutes to my destination before my scheduled meeting time, to allow for extra preparation time or traffic considerations.

  12. Sonic the Hedgehog (Ryan Drummond or Jason Griffith or Roger Craig Smith)

    Please consider adding one of the 3 main English voice actors for Sonic the Hedgehog. But me personally would love to hear Jason Griffith’s Sonic the Hedgehog giving me directions.

  15. Android Auto Problems

    I noticed that there is no option to share the route through the ANDROID AUTO version and this is very important. It's also really bad when we use 2 fingers to zoom out of the map (after zooming out a bit, we can only zoom out by clicking on the "-" sign. I would like to suggest that this be looked into and improved. Thank you.

  16. Going back to correct reported hazard

    Since the fantastic (not sarcasm - I really like the update - for the most part) update after I attempt to report a hazard I’ve noticed if I tap the wrong category or want to back out to the previous screen, it cancels the entire report. Then I’m 1/2 a mile down the road and it doesn’t make sense to do a new report because the location won’t be accurate.
    Please PLEASE allow to back out of the category. Forget people saying “too many taps to report” if you keep from changing the location of the options muscle memory takes…

  17. Display addresses (street + house number) according to regional settings

    The app assumes wrongly all countries display addresses like Americans do, like first the house number and then the street number, but in fact most Western countries use it the other way around:

    Street name + house number

    It seems Waze is American-centred as there is strangely enough after all these years no option to simply adhere to the local customs a country has.

  18. Warn drivers that attempt changing the name of a place.

    Recently I have seen (and rejected) many name changes on places where people attempt to change the name to one they would like to see as a shortcut name in their destinations.
    Waze should warn them when they attempt to change the name of any place and provide an option to properly nickname a routing destination without changing the name everyone sees.
    I usually send them a message via Chat when this happens and reject their changes, but it would be better if Waze did the warning .

  19. Remove Blue Tinted Night Mode

    The new updated changes the base color of the map when engaged in night mode. This map is extremely hard to read in dark conditions, and the overall color scheme is unpleasant. The original night mode used an all gray color scheme. Please allow user to revert back to the original or remove it all together!

  20. Please give us the option to turn off the sound when a hazard is acknowledged, I don't need a ding to show me I acknowledged the hazard.

    There should be an option to turn on or off the sound acknowledgement when you say a hazard is there or not, forcing the alert sound on for all is ridiculous.
