Zoom level resets after waze shows alerts while stopped
If I'm driving and set my zoom at a certain level and stop, waze shows nearby alerts... great! But when I drive again my zoom level is not what I've set it at. Also, please make the app show the alert on the side of the screen and put the pinpointed alert on the other side while in landscape mode. Sometimes an alert is useless without seeing it and currently the warning covers the map!

I used to be able to provide traffic and hazard data for the "other side." These disappeared in a recent revision. Please restore.
It is really the restoration of a former option - reporting a traffic jam or traffic hazard on the other side of the road.
1 voteThank 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.

Waze Unplanned Road Closure Alerts
Would it be possible for Waze developers to notify user of an unplanned route closure the moment point A and destination are entered? Having entered work destination (using multiple interstates), ware tried to reroute me may times to alternate roads - the MOMENT I logged on. It turned out the Interstate was closed 15 miles ahead, and I was stuck for 2 hours. If Waze knows the road has an issue along the route, an alert upon destination entry (like IMRIX) would be most helpful.

Add option to select car pool when navigating
Lets popup "carpool?" button after choosing destination in carpool times. This will help to get corresponding exits and more precise calculations. Sometimes traffic stopped while carpool is open and I dont want to get average estimation and alternative route. Thanks!
5 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Increase size of speed icons and location on monitot
Speed icons too small on hi res monitors. Need 1x and 2x size options to increase size. Locations of icons need options for left side off monitor which is closer to driver. Default is for left side only.

Apple CarPlay shortcut for reporting a hazard
To report a hazard (ie pothole) requires 4 clicks. Would be great if there was a few one click shortcuts to report the most common hazards such as a pothole, police, and vehicle stopped on side of road. This would be much safer than fumbling around to report a pothole while driving.

Starting point
why can't I just press 'your location' after choosing a destination and change where the starting point is, I know if I press leave later I can change the starting point but why not from that point as well?

Enable passenger search while driving in android auto mode
In android auto the search is removed until the car is stopped. My passenger wants to search for a new location destination. Sadly we have to stop the car to do that. A prompt asking if you are the driver would be better, then allow them to search. How can waze assume all interaction must be the driver?? If the driver declares to be a passenger well that's driver negligence but stop All interaction to prevent that, this renders the app useless at times.

Add arrive button
Sometimes when arriving at very large places, Waze thinks that you arrive only when you are in the front door of the place. Think for example in a mall, the parking lot will be huge, but Waze already traced the route until the front door.
An "arrive" button will help Waze to understand that you are already at your destination and there is no need to recalculate the route while you are looking for a parking spot10 votes -
Navigate to Intersections
Waze app does not accept intersections as a search destination. This is sometimes the easier choice when I'm picking someone up rather than attempting to find a house number. Please add this functionality.

Allow user to see turn-by-turn direction list when using Waze via Android Auto.
When connected via Android Auto and using Waze there is no means to pull up the turn-by-turn directions list, even if the vehicle is parked. This forces the driver to drive "blind", not knowing what to expect between the start of the trip and the destination. In city use cases, this makes Waze via Android Auto unusable.

Please stop asking me for a photo of my home
I don't want other wazers to find my house more easily.
So please stop asking me to provide a photo for that purpose.If I have arrived at my destination AND my destination is my Home
Then do not ask for a photo.1 vote -
Accuracy
Accuracy is horrible lately. On my latest trip, the time to destination doubled from original estimate. Now I question every Waze route and time estimate given. Extremely disappointed. Fix it.

Pirate speak
A voice option where the assistant talks like a pirate like arr ye matey ye be at your destination
And maybe a ship to go with it3 votes -
Longer information
Please also add that the full destination information should stay visible on the screen even after you reach the destination. Right now, the second it says ‘Destination reached,’ everything disappears and you have to grab your phone or papers again — or go back into the history — just to double-check the exact house number. It’s really annoying

suggest removing hazard on side of road as this has no impact on traffic but people slow down because this is reported
hazards on road is good to report but if it is to the side of road, I see not point in this helping and in fact people will slow down for any hazard so this actually slows down traffic

Daily Weekday Morning Traffic Report
I would like to receive a morning traffic report every weekday when I wake up to know of any hazards or traffic delays and the fastest / recommended route prior to departing to work (same destination every morning). Ideally, this would be pushed to the notification center and have the ability to be spoken (briefly stating that your preferred route is slower than usual or a wreck at a location and to use HWY 80 instead, etc.).
