Let to use keyboard (as passanger) on Android Auto
As a user, I would like to have with Android Auto the same option as with Apple CarPlay to use the keyboard as a passenger.
Currently, while I'm driving with family f.e. on a highway in my country it's illegal to stop on the side of the road. So I'm not able to enter the destination address while in motion. My wife as a passenger has to plug out my phone from USB and enter it manually and plug it in again. It's just plain stupid. It's not even a security option if I have to use my phone to…

CarPlay update
Waze is super useful in car over my cellphone (iPhone)
However, once plugged into my car with CarPlay, the experience is worst that ever. In fact, the CarPlay interface of the app does not support all functions offered in the mobile version such as :
1. Unable to signify a fixed radar photo
2. Unable to specify the police specification (visible, hide, opposite side)
3. Unable to launch a SOS and so on
In fact, the types of available notices is so small.In addition, you can’t find a gas station easily as in the app cause you don’t…

Add divided street option
Waze doesn't differentiate when a street has a median that blocks the ability to get to a destination. Add another option similar to elevation or direction but that requires Waze to navigate to the other driving direction for the street. This would allow editors to update Waze streets without having to split them for the same functionality.

New button for parking.
New button for parking.
I would like to have a button for parking in the navigation pane as key fuel so I can find a parking garage or a parking space close to my destination.
It would also be good if it could include the price of parking and a reporting button in the report window so the user can report price changes.25 votesGreat thinking! The issue you raised has been addressed in a recent redesign. Hope you like it!

CarPlay Alert Buttons
When using CarPlay the alert buttons that pop up are thin and vertically stacked. With the motion of the car these are very hard to hit accurately. I believe about half of my Thanks or Not There button presses are wrong. Switch to Taller side by side buttons. There is generally less horizontal motion of the car, and this should result in fewer errors.

Add a positive feedback notification on choosing a path that actually brought you faster to your destination.
Drivers are debating between several alternative routes and are always swayed whether the choice was right. Would the alternate routes bring me faster? Did I do the right decision?
If indeed the route chosen was the fastest in real time compared to alternate routes, not only in theory, would be extremely fun to get a message saying that the choice was the right one and saved X minutes.
This feature gives a great, satisfying feeling, strengthens your choice and gives confidence and trust in the app.

Waze calculates time to leave, sends reminder to leave, so I can be at "x" on time
Waze calculates what time I should leave and sends a notification (text, etc), based on current traffic and what time I would like to be at my final destination.
Example:
I have to pick up a friend at 5PM, but I am still at work. Waze sends me a note, predicting that I should leave by 4:25PM to arrive at my friend's location for approx 5PM.49 votesGreat thinking! The issue you raised has been addressed in a recent redesign. Hope you like it!

Seamless "OK, Google Now Navigate"
I would like Waze to begin navigation intermediately after it starts when I say "OK, Google Now Navigate to ..." without having me to click anything. Right now the destination appears on the map, but then I need to click the bock and tell Waze to begin navigation.

Remove permanent "where to" and "my Waze" fields when phone is horizontal.
I use Waze with my phone in a horizontal/landscape position. All is good if I set a location target and use Waze to guide me to it. But I sometimes I like to see the traffick volume without setting a destination. In this mode, Waze takes up a third of my map display with the "where to" and "my Waze" fields. I should be able to turn those off or they should auto disappear.

OBJECT IN ROAD
Need a very specifc alert for object in road. HAZARD REPORTED AHEAD is 90% of the time a car on the side of the road. There should be a verbal alert for objects. MUCH not important than a disabled car on the side of the road. Sample "OBJECT IN ROAD REPORTED AHEAD -CENTER LANE Now that's information we can use!

Auto-restart app and continue navigation to last entered destination when crashed or shutdown unexpectedly
Hi,
Sometimes the app crashes for some reason. I would like Waze to auto restart the app (use an iOS/Android command like Skype that checks if the application is still running, if not, then start application)
The reason for the auto-restart is that I do not want to touch the device while driving. Especially when on a motorcycle.

Hazard Locations
Hazards are currently listed as "on my side" or "the other side". Many hazards are in the median - I'd like to see that as an option.
4 votesThank you for your suggestion!
This suggestion will not be implemented for the time being. Adding more and more options to reporting, especially for less popular types of reports such as other side which will also require another window/card, is not something we are aiming for at the moment. Please be aware that other side reporting is already available by voice using the Google Assistant! We believe investing in voice can create essentially a better and more scalable experience and we hope to bring it to more languages soon.
Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram. -
Don't consider a trip as finished when we can't park in front of the destination's adress
Please, prevent the application from considering a trip as finished when you pass in front of the exact destination's address because in a city it is not possible to park systematically in front of the destination address (those who conceived this application must live in countryside!). The app should wait a second or two after if the targeted address is behind us and so, if our vehicle is still moving then calculate a new route to the destination... Ideally, the application should suggest the location of a nearby parking and update the path to…

Car pointer is in the other side of the screen
The problem is that when i use Waze on my car multimedia which is android, the pointer of the car is located on the right of the screen and on the left there is the search bar, I was trying to hide the search bar so the pointer is more in the center of the screen but could't find a solution. Its very inconvenient when you drive a left wheel drive vehicle and the pointer is on the passanger side. Hope you find a solution. I can share a picture if you need it, thanks!

police
Please reinstate the "Police on Other Side" feature. Reporting speed traps is the most useful reason to report police, and traffic moving in opposite direction will always be better suited to identify and report.

Road closure re-route
Hi WaZE,
This app is wonderful. One question. When there is a road block or closure due to a march ,etc., why does the app not reroute you around it? Use other streets to get to the destination. It continues to lead you right back.
Can't you block that location and add that command in that program and the streets are opened again release it with another command?

Multi-Stop Route Planning
Overview:
Waze currently allows users to set a single destination at a time, requiring them to manually input a new route after reaching their first stop. This can be time-consuming and inefficient, especially for users who need to make multiple stops in one trip.
Proposed Feature:
Enable users to set a route with multiple destinations in advance. Instead of navigating only from Point A to Point B, users will be able to plan a route such as:
A → B → C → D
Waze will automatically guide them from one stop to the next without requiring manual input…48 votes
