  2. PLEASE add Estimated Time of Arrival via SMS on mobile phone and on Apple Carplay and Android Auto without the use of a phone.

    Please add ETA via SMS alerting the person that I am running late or increased traffic ahead and a SMS to be sent automatically through my phone to notify that I am running late.

    Sometimes notification through the app its not that reliable as most of my friends does not have Waze installed nor they did not notice a notification but noticed more when a notification is sent through SMS.

    When this feature is added please give us an option to choose between sent ETA via APP or if detected without a waze app it automatically sent notification through SMS.…

  3. Emergency Vehicle option

    Please add this option to carplay. This is helpful on the road ways where the Fire/Rescue and EMS are present. Yes there is an option for Police, however, the other Emergency vehicles are just as important.

  4. Configuration Setting for Road Hazards Order

    Road Hazard Reporting is extremely important for the efficiency & simplicity of submissions! We do NOT want the "Submission of Report" to be the source of vehicle accidents! This can be assistance with one being able to customize their own order of "Road Hazards" listing within the Smartphone App and CarPlay view! In my case, having to scroll down in my CarPlay view to access "Pothole" increases my chances of possible "vehicle accident issues" on the road due to the extra 2-5 seconds of "less direct attention" to the crazy other drivers on the road! In other words, this configuration…

  5. 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...

  6. Weather summary for current location and/or destination location

    On the map screen (phone and CarPlay screen) there should be a weather summary (temp and forecast for rain/snow/etc) for either your either your current location or your destination location. Maybe have a spot in the settings to turn this option on/off and which location you want the weather information for.

  7. Southpaw mode for UI layout

    Have a toggle to mirror the layout of buttons on the screen in CarPlay. My vehicle has a wide display which puts the hazard button far away. In fact the buttons I use the most are the furthest from me. Having a way to flip or even pick where UI elements sit would be great.

  8. Can we have a better warning

    It’s would also be good to have a much more visual warning of police speed traps, as it would reduce, my time looking at the CarPlay screen, and up at one of the many bridges, they hide on on the m3 in the UK.

  9. Heavy traffic duration display issue

    I'm driving a Volvo XC40 with a Sensus operating system which famously displays Android Auto/Carplay on roughly half of it's 9" vertical screen. This means CarPlay has a width of 748 pixels, and this leads to a problem with how Waze displays how long I'm sitting in heavy/standstill traffic. Since I don't see any image upload option here, I'll use an image hosting service to point out the problem.

    When using Waze in full screen, the app cannot display the heavy/standstill traffic duration: https://imgur.com/a/a45VG9F

    The only workaround is using the app in Split Screen mode: https://imgur.com/HjpCsIG

    It would be…

  10. Waze to replace maps in iOS13

    Right now Waze is in carplay, but not integrated like apple maps is in iOS13. When will you be able to do that? It would be nice to have everything in one spot. Especially when using apple music. I understand that Apple has to let third parties, like youselves, in, but this is crazy. We the users should have the choice.

  11. Change to Android Auto UI

    Can the blue gradient that takes up 1/3 of my car's infotainment screen be removed from the Android Auto Waze UI? It makes it difficult to see the road ahead as it fades out into blue and doesn't utilize my full car screen. Kind of like the CarPlay UI. You can see the road so much further ahead on it.

    Also a setting to use night theme or day all the time would be welcome too.

  12. Error on Android auto

    For a month now when using Waze on Android auto there is a black message box in the bottom down corner which is covering the speedometer.
    The message in the box is:
    Step:1
    Template : navigation template
    Permits : disabled

    On Apple carplay this is not visible.

  13. Ios26 liquid glass makes eta panel illegible in light mode

    Hello,
    I am beta testing ios26 and it makes the ETA panel liquid glass in carplay in both light and dark mode. In light mode, this is a problem because white text on a glass panel over a white background becomes illegible. Please fix this if possible.

  14. Adding zooming capability

    Hi I'm using in my car for waze navigation an android 10 device carplay UX999MAX. The device doesn't support multi-touch therefore I can't perform zooming out/in. It would be amazing if you add the the apps an icon +/- to enable such capability. Thanks Shamai

  15. Distance

    When CarPlay is in tiled mode (where it shows what song is playing and Waze only has half the screen) Waze shows me the ETA and the minutes remaining—distance remaining is left off due to the smaller screen real estate. Since I can derive time remaining from the ETA, how about showing distance remaining instead? So instead of:
    10:31am 42 min
    show:
    10:31am 35 miles

    Latest update 5.14.1.0 still does not enable turn by turn to show on the head up display (on winshield). There was a post that waze just needs to flip a switch. Google and apple maps already have it on.

  17. Car Play Apple Maps, Google Maps, Waze Turn By Turn Dirrections Appearing On Instrument Cluster

    Please allow users to enable and disable turn-by-turn directions in the instrument cluster. I don’t want to see it on my instrument cluster when I already have it on my navigation screen. Turn-by-turn directions on the instrument cluster were only available before on Apple Maps, recently Google Maps added it without any mention in the app update notes and no option in the settings to turn it off. I’m glad it’s not yet available on Waze because users can not turn off this feature in vehicle settings CarPlay settings, phone settings not even steering wheel settings! The only way to…

  18. Railroad Crossing Alert

    With the latest software on iOS/CarPlay (version 4.103.1.1), when I receive an alert for a railroad crossing and I close it by pressing the Close button, it keeps popping up until I cross over the railroad crossing. My daily commute involves a railroad crossing that I pass over everyday and the ONLY way to close the alert is to ignore it and eventually it closes on its own.

  19. Re-attempt to connect to mobile/wifi signal after starting on offline map

    When a car is parked in underground carpark with no mobile phone signal, Waze will use the offline map with no traffic information However it does not re-attempt to connect to mobile signal/wifi after a minute or two when the car is out in open air, and it continues the whole journal on offline map. Please enable a function to re-try connecting to phone signal via CarPlay

  20. Waze Ideas

    Make it to where Waze on CarPlay or even on mobile has cool holiday and season effects like snow or leaves falling during the fall, something to make it more enjoyable, or make it to where the map can turn to snow and there’s props throughout the map like snowmen, igloos or whatever.
