  1. Can we get a known speed trap alert

    Some areas are just known for speed traps. Maybe some kind of algorithm that logs how many drivers ping certain areas for speed traps for a period of time before its considered a "Known speed trap". This alert can be optional in carplay etc.

  2. Individual Volume Settings

    Please implement a dedicated sound/volume setting allowing for volume to be increased to as loud or as low as wanted. Some vehicles and devices are having issues selecting louder volume for Waze, especially when using other infotainment features like Bluetooth music or CarPlay.

  3. Display destination on screen during navigation

    Lately, I have repeatedly run into situations where, after driving for 1-2 hours, I have doubts whether I have selected the right destination. To be able to check this, I have to interrupt the navigation. This usually causes distractions while driving.
    My suggestion is to introduce a display of the current destination above the estimated travel time field. This feature would be especially beneficial when using the Apple CarPlay integration. It would help users like me to always keep the desired destination in view, thus eliminating the dangerous interruptions during the drive.

  4. Add more incidents or alerts in Apple Car

    I request that the same warning or alert reasons available in the mobile app be added to CarPlay. For example, if a road is closed, there is currently no option to report it.

  5. 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 searching

  6. "Still There" should have a "Close Window" option

    When the "Still There" window pops up in Apple CarPlay, I frequently click the button just to make the window go away which results in sending the message that the hazard is still there even if it's not. It would be helpful if the default was "Close Window".

  7. Show traffic as a bar on car screen as it appears on phone screen

    Currently traffic bars for various routes appear on phone screen but not on the car screen when using Carplay. Summary traffic bars for various routes is too valuable to not have

  8. Enhance Waze on CarPlay’s Instrument Display

    Thank you for adding Waze to the instrument cluster on CarPlay - it’s a huge improvement! However, the current implementation could be refined for better usability.
    • The resolution is too low, making the map appear overly zoomed in with limited visibility of the road ahead.
    • Key details, such as potholes and hazards, are missing.
    • A higher-resolution option with a more zoomed-out view would greatly improve navigation.
    • Adding a 3D perspective or allowing users to customise the zoom level would make it even more useful.

    Having Waze on the cluster display is fantastic for quick glances, but…

  9. Select what hazards to hear

    Allow the user to select what notifications to hear. I don’t care about stopped cars but I do about objects on the road or police.

    Most notifications are for stopped cars and I honestly have turned off all notifications and just hope I see relevant info on the map.

    Needs to work with CarPlay etc as well.

  10. Remove driving home car play pop up

    Please remove the driving home CarPlay pop up… I’m in and out of my car 30 times a day and this is annoying as ****… having the home icon is enough .

  11. Make Waze work more like Apple Maps when connected to Apple CarPlay.

    The search feature and putting in locations that aren’t a favorite, you still have to do from your phone.

  12. Add Google Maps Settings to Waze Car Play app

    Please add settings to the CarPlay Waze app navigation screen as seen on the Google Maps screen.
    I lost all sound on Waze which Waze support could not resolve.
    Inadvertently I selected Google Maps and used its settings to reinstate the sound on Waze.

  13. Waze should not let other apps change “Play sounds via Bluetooth phone call”.

    This screws up some vehicles interfacing with waze via their oem radios and oem phone controls. I want to use waze thru CarPlay but sounds ar3 lost and you cannot manually change setting back to phone controls.

  14. Gesperrte Straßen

    Die Angabe von gesperrten Straßen sollte ins Carplay mit aufgenommen werden. Es ist nicht sinnvoll erst auf das Handy zu wechseln. In dem Moment wenn man vor der gesperrten Straße steht möchte ich schnellstmöglich eine Umfahrung angezeigt bekommen

    danke

  15. Two cars

    It would be quite useful to be able to configure two (or more) different car profiles. In my case I have a diesel car and an electric car, and I may use one or the other depending what where I want to go (for instance, city center is forbidden for non electric cars). So a feature where I could just simply choose my car when opening the app up or even better, auto detection of what car I am in using CarPlay or Android Auto, would be really nice to have.

  16. Afichage en mode "CAR PLAY"

    La barre d'alerte qui apparait à gauche de l'écran d'un smartphone en mode vertical, lors de l'approche d'une zone à risque, n'est pas disponible le téléphone en mode paysage, ni sur l'écran de la voiture avec l'application Apple carplay.

  17. Move hazard button

    The hazard button should be moved from right of display screen to left for CarPlay. Currently I have a wide display that requires me to lean just to reach it.

    It also should be made a bit bigger as it’s hard to hit it with the leaning.

  18. Please get rid of new “listening” landing page

    Please get rid of the new “listening” landing page, in CarPlay, that you must click through to report an issue on the road. It’s annoying and unsafe because it adds yet another button press while driving and it pauses the audio you’re listening to.

  19. Audio pop up

    Have a small box (preferably in a corner) with prev, next, and pause along with album art and song name with preferred audio app when using full screen map on CarPlay/Auto rather than using just the half screen
