Points of interest car play
Please add to apple car play the function to easily search for points of interest such as parking or fuel. You can do this on the app but there isn’t a way to do this on car play. You have to use voice search or type in manually “parking”

Address location from calendar
Love the calendar integration, but even though the correct address is in the location and there is a map thumbnail on the calendar event provided by Apple, I STILL have to search for and confirm the location in Waze - a but annoying.

Plugins!
Instead of competing against other products and services, why not allow them to be PART OF (feed info into) Waze? Plugins, if you will.
Case in point: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOyhnwA6MQo
Escort Live is a social driving program for people who use Passport Radars. Wouldn't it make more sense for everyone ("them" because they'd be able to enjoy Waze and its massive user database, and "us" because we'd get the real-time radar info?) if Escort Live was available inside Waze?
Waze is great because it's so clean, so I understand not wanting to have other data services "clutter up" the experience,…

People watching cars in Brazil (aka flanelinhas)
We suffer with these guys that "watch" our cars when we have to pay for the parking on the streets. If you don't pay additional for these criminals, they will scratch the car or even break the windows.
I suggest to add a flag into Waze so that we can flag up in which streets these guys are cornering us.2 votes -
Have screen rotation available for iPhone and android users
Can you update your user interface so that when using Waze on Apple or Android devices upside down, the map rotates so you can see the map the right way up at all times.

Voice Commands
The “ watch out” command is somewhat aggressive and possibly should be changed to a more informational alert like; attention or warning or watch for. The natural reaction when somebody says “watch out” is more high alert then what you are actually calling ones attention to.

Waze Routing Server Connectivity Issue
It is not an idea. But off late Waze has been having issues connecting to routing servers. It is also taking longer to find the routes vs Google Maps or Apple Maps program. All of these on the same device.

Show search results on map
Waze search results are objectively inferior both in app and on android auto/carplay as compared to other popular navigation apps such as gmaps or apple maps.
Both of those apps display search results on a map view, with A, B, C etc pins with a selectable list on the side, and this works in app and on the in car head unit display. Google Maps also has a MUCH cleaner "add a stop" workflow.
This is a critical and basic feature gap that makes competing map applications much easier to use for searching9 votes -
Companion App for Wear OS
Especially useful for motorcycle riders. As an alert, difficult to access while riding so function should be limited. But I would love a vibration of the watch and an image of the alert while companion app is active.

Average speed zone
When I use Waze vertically it shows me green line as average speed zone. But it disappears when I use Waze horizontally. Specially problem occurs when I use Apple CarPlay, because monitor of the car shows Waze only horizontally.. could you fix that?

put music controls on the waze screen so I can forward, back, pause and play my music whilst watching the waze screen
Please can you put music controls onto the main screen. I listen to my smartphone music in my car and it would be great to be able to fast forward, rewind, paus and play tracks whilst keeping the waze screen visible. Thanks.

We should have the option on what alerts we want, and it needs to say what side of the road your destination is on
I hate the watch out, vehicle on the side of the road. And at times it is hard to see an address, it needs to say what side of the road your destination is on. I also wish we could have more options on voices also. I loved the C3PO, that was cool for 3 days.

iOS battery is being drained, maybe because of OLED support?
Waze app is crushing my battery. Maybe the ios X update for oled support is doing it but i can watch my battery tick down because of the app. And yes, I have gone so far as to isolate just waze working on the phone and nothing else...it is WAZE draining my battery
Please fix it3 votesGreat thinking! The issue you raised has been addressed in a recent redesign. Hope you like it!

More accurate "share your drive" with your Wazer friends
More accurate "share your drive" with your Wazer friends, please. At the moment it will update my location on map approx. every 2-3min but i would really like to see almost a real time location on map.
If you share your drive with non-wazer and he/she watch your journey via browser, it looks way better because my Waze figure moves on the map all the time. I assume this location is estimation based on travel time but it's still way better than figure which doesn't move at all or moves point to point every now and then.

Patrol
Neighborhood Watch Function!
It would really help if you could build some sort of neighborhood watch function Waze.So if you can make a group on Waze with other users (limited or unlimited) users would have to accept an invitation, administrators could be assigned.
Then, when Neighborhood Watch Mode is activated all users on the group could see where the other users are driving.
Nice functions that can be added is when Neighborhood mode is active and suspect activity is identified, the user could notify other active users at that time with a press of a button.

CarPlay volumn
Hello
I am so grateful that Waze now works with CarPlay on my new Mercedes E300. I noticed that Waze will reduce the volume of other apps on my iPhone, so that I can continue to hear the other app in the background as Waze provides navigation.
However, Waze appears to connect to CarPlay via the car's navigation volume control while other CarPlay apps connect to CarPlay via the car's entertainment volume control. Consequently, CarPlay stops other audio while Waze makes navigation announcements.
Nice would be a optional setting in Waze for how the app connects to CarPlay, via navigation…6 votes
