keyboard shortcut
It would be nice to implement native iOS keyboard shortcuts. Like the Apple Maps app which supports:
CMD + for Zoom In
CMD - for Zoom OutAnd maybe add support for the use of arrow keys to move the map around. CMD UPARROW/DOWNARROW etc.
Another handy one would be a combination to recenter the map.
I am using an iPad for navigation and I'm building a bluetooth remote control :-)

Search certain area
When trying to find a spot on the map, there should be an option to update the search area. Google let us manually update it, and Apple does it automatically. I don't see why Waze users should not have this essential feature for navigating new places. Thank you

Include a naming system for roads with multiple lanes such as apple , blueberry or carrot etc .
A naming system for lanes could help with direction and lane maintenance .

Make waze compatible with Bmw inboard applications
Make Waze compatible with native BMW inboard system, like Audible, Amazon Music, Deezer, Napster, and Spotify.
I don't know how much it can be integrated, but in my 2020's car there is apple carplay, but I'm an android user and it's very bad that they is no way for me to use Waze...2 votes -
Arranging items
Can users reorder the appearance of the items on the "Update the Map" screen? If so I could move "Closure" higher so that I can access it on Apple Car Play

The latest update was actually a "downdate". Last destinations are no longer there, as is the keyboard button on the Apple carplay screen.c
Please put back

Roadworks alert
Could it please be considered that the audio alert on the map guidance for roadworks be amended.
Currently it says “Watch out, roadworks reported on the road ahead”
It’s pretty obvious it’s on the road, which is why they are called ROADworks. It’s not like there is an option to report pavement/footway works.
I would have thought the simplest audio alert would be “roadworks reported ahead”???

Mach E - battery percentage charge recommendation
I recently purchased a new Ford Mach-E. I’ma little disappointed in the Waze app vs Apple Maps. First let me say I HATE APPLE MAPS. They are not user friendly, doesnt report police, potholes, or anything useful. However with my Mach-E Apple Maps knows the battery percentage on my car and will automatically add a charging stop to my road trip if needed. If Waze does this I cannot figure it out. If Waze doesn’t could this be an update feature you look into!! EV cars are becoming more popular and I really want to use a map that benefits…

Waze PLEASE HELP. My Apple iOS Significant locations glitched and got erased. I need my location history for 08/18/2022 to exonerate me.
I was pulled over because a vehicle “matched my description” at a Shell Gas station that I was never at on 08/18/2022 (see Frazier V. Cupp or Supreme Court V. Cupp; LE can basically lie to try and incriminate you for evidence that never existed). Then when I tried to use significant locations to pull up where I was on that date it didn’t have the “summary records” anymore. I blew a 0.00 BAC and had ZERO contraband in my vehicle. I did not break any traffic laws either (i.e. swerving, speeding, etc.).
The arresting officer in my small town…2 votesThanks for contacting us about reporting an error on the map. Our community of volunteer map editors handle all changes to the Waze map.

Hide search bar
I keep seeing this response to multiple users about the search bar that does not go away: “ Thanks for the suggestion. Search bar automatically hides after around 30 seconds driving without navigation”. The bar does NOT go away after 30 seconds. It takes me 20 minutes to drive to work, and it will not go away.

Night mode issue
Previously with CarPlay set to Dark mode (which I think makes it easier to see CarPlay functions), Waze when set to “Auto” showed daytime maps when light outside and night versions of maps when dark out (at night or in a garage). Lately, Waze only shows night versions of maps unless CarPlay is set to light mode. I have always had CarPlay on dark mode and this was not an issue. Also note that both Apple Maps and Google Maps show daytime versions of their maps when it is daylight outside even with CarPlay on dark mode, just as Waze…

Add option allowing your URs to be posted under your username (not anonymoulsy)
It has been said numerous time that due to private data protections, URs are always posted anonymously.
However, many editors use the UR system as a mean to "take notes" of problems during a trip, and then will correct deal with those UR when on WME after the trip.
However, those URs are always marked as anonymous on WME and other editors often start to reply those UR not knowing that those were done by other fellow editors. This leads to a lost of time, since those UR should be considered as "already watched by another editor".
The proposition…

Exceeded Speed Limit Warning
Hi the beep sound is heard after exceeding the speed limit but only once.
My request or suggestion is to have an option to choose if the beep should be continuous till the speed is not reduced OR to beep only once when speed is exceeded (later one is the existing set up)
Hope you understand and add this small request to the app.
I use the app by listening instead of watching so one beep for exceeding speed limit doesn't help..
