  1. Fix user interface and make it look like how it does on apple car play or on android phones

    So since roughly April when waze adapted to the new android auto split screen update also known as coolwalk waze has looked terrible and nothing like how it use to look or looks on android phones and apple carplay. It's just a bunch of black boxes and buttons. Being someone that uses waze more than more than 12+hrs a day. It would be nice. If you guys revert the current user interface to how it is on the phones and or how it looks on apple car play

  2. Record report's GPS position where "Report" button was pressed

    Based on my experience with Waze and Apple CarPlay it's relatively easy to press the "Report" button when passing a hazard on the road but then it takes some time to select the hazard's placement (road, roadside, or weather) and type. Thus a report mark is placed a bit far away from the actual hazard's position.

    I'd like to suggest a change to record a report's place not when the report is submitted but when the "Report" button is pressed.

    It should slightly improve reports' position accuracy.

  3. Don't hide submitter username when they are a active map editor (at-least Level 1 due to signing up for WME access) for submitted Map UR's

    Don't hide submitter username when they are a active map editor (at least Level 1 due to signing up for WME access) for Map UR's they report in able to make finding them for the reporter in WME easier when getting home so they can add clarification to the UR and if they didn't get to it fast enough and another editor takes a look at it they know what other editor reported it so they can engage with them appropriately either through the Waze Discord chats or a Waze Map Chat DM for better communication workflow then doing it…

  4. pothole

    The most common things I report are vehicles on side of road and potholes. Its frustrating the potholes is below the fold in the CarPlay screen, meaning that I have to scroll to get to it. It would be great if it was up higher. It would even be better if you had a setting where you could order the list how you wanted but that is a pipedream. I know it's possible as I build apps myself ;-)

  5. Missing part of audio directions

    When using wireless CarPlay - the first second or so of alerts/directions is cut off each time.

    For example it should say " Roadworks reported ahead " but all I hear is " ...reported ahead "
    OR instead of " In 300ft Turn right " I just head " ..urn right "

    When using wired, this issue does not occur.

    I think it is an inherent problem with Bluetooth latency as GoogleMaps is similar.
    A setting within Waze where we could fix this would be great.

  6. Remove extra screen icon

    Remove extra items taking up screen space. We already have an option for home or work when waze first opens on carplay. I don't need an extra icon box to choose from. It's taking up unnecessary space on my screen that won't go away if I'm not in an active navigation. It was a pointless add, we don't need waze to be like Google maps, that's why I use waze. I might as well just stick with Google maps.

  8. iPhone - Set position of GPS Speed

    I am in australia and we drive on right hand side of the car.
    This is request for the display when using iPhone CarPlay.
    I recently swapped from Samsung to iPhone. On Samsung the GPS Speed is on the right side of the display and easier to quickly see.
    But on iPhone the GPS speed is on the left side of the display, which makes it harder to look over to see.

    Can a setting be provided to set where GPS Speed is locate - left ot right of the display,

  10. Make reporting more succinct and only require 2 clicks

    If you’re alone and do not have a passenger it is dangerous to go through so many clicks to report something (hazard, etc). There is enough real estate in the app and especially through CarPlay where you should just need to click the orange report button then the report item itself you need on that next page. This also will make the actual physical location of the report more accurate due to the traveling distance per second lost when clicking through so many pages. For example, when reporting road kill I often have 10+ seconds pass while clicking and scrolling…

  11. Show route turns on landscape and portrait mode

    The upcoming turn-by-turn directions would populate in landscape mode not too long ago. Now, it only shows a zoomed out version of the map. Why would anyone not want directions like they do in portrait mode? This was an awful update which caused me to nearly have three accidents in my vehicle without CarPlay. I have had to resort to Apple Maps and google maps because Waze appears to care more about voices and cool features instead of functionality!

  12. Routen-Share-Option

    Wäre es möglich die aktuelle route direkt auf das Auto zu schicken bzw zu teilen als gerät das nicht mit dem Carplay verbunden ist (in einem interface wo das automodell zb Ford Edge 2017 aufgezeigt wird, dem man dann eine Anfrage schicken kann), dort könnte dann eine art „anfrage“ aufpoppen wie zb „User XY hat ihnen eine Route geteilt: Aktzeptieren / Ablehnen“

    dies hätte den vorteil nicht immer die geräte für eine neue route zu wechseln und würde die Fahrt sicherer und die navigation einfacher gestalten

  14. Reports' Favorites

    I want to tap one less time. Most of my reports are the same - traffic, cars on shoulders, and police. Instead of tapping one time to hit the reports, the second time to pick a category, and a third time to report on what I want, I want one time to hit the reports and second time to touch the favorite report.
    I just noticed the phone's app allows for long press to do these three things, but I use CarPlay, and still, I don't want to long press, I just want taps.

  15. Improve stability.

    Waze app stability with Apple CarPlay needs improvement I have used it for years, but glitches are frustrating.
    If a get a phone call while using it, it disables the radio, and I have to reset the source after hanging up.
    The customized car icon turns into a blue dot, which remains stationary despite actual movement of my vehicle.
    I am Ray Iglesias (Username CaptProvolone56 and have 169,027 points. I started using Google maps a few days ago, which runs smoothly.
    I like the Waze app, but not at the above price.

  16. Trip Overview Split Screen Option

    A split-screen option for the existing drive and trip overview?

    For example: Left side will have the usual Waze UI, report, street name, directions, distance to turns etc... On the right side, we have the overall view of the trip.

    The through process for this is that, I like to see to overall distance covered so I know how much more I have to go, while it is an option to poke "Overview" it takes the attention away from the driving which I find potentially dangerous.... Carplay user here, but I think it can be integrated into both systems.

  17. Improve vertical UI on iPhone

    Please fix the vertical user interface on iPhone! It is a complete mess, with large blacked out areas unnecessarily blocking the useful map space, therefore limiting our map vision and app experience, also the shortcuts or pop-ups are difficult to reach/click. Moreover, it doesn’t show a green line when entering part of the road under avg speed radar control. It should be an easy fix, just look at the carplay version, or maybe take ideas from google or apple maps. I am literally switching to other map providers because I have a terrible experience of using waze in vertical mode.

  18. addition

    If it is possible, it is just a suggestion in order to change the car screen system to something that you can do and it will be a very wonderful program.
    First - themes for the program: colors, models of cars and their companies. We can control them within Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
    Secondly - The speedometer tab has a sporty shape and neat shapes that you can design and they are integrated with the themes that you will make with each car, company and model that has its own meter 💖💖

  19. Ich habe einige Worte

    Hallo liebes Waze Team,

    ich habe einige Fehler in der App entdeckt und habe ein paar Tipps und Vorschläge für euch.

    Fehler: Unter „Stimme und Ton“ -> „Sprich zum Melden“ lässt sich der Button nicht aktivieren. Er schaltet sich immer wieder auf OFF. Außerdem gibt es bei Apple CarPlay ein Problem: Wenn sich die Route ändert, verlängert oder verkürzt, erscheint unten links eine Anmerkung, die mit $$ beginnt. Ich vermute, dass es sich dabei um einen Bug handelt.

    Vorschläge: Es wäre super, wenn man in der App die Ampel sehen könnte. Das würde das Fahren deutlich sicherer machen, besonders in…

  20. Fix android automotive - Apple car play Waze map disappearing on center wheel screen if not on tablet

    Fix android automotive - Apple car play Waze map disappearing on center wheel screen if not on tablet

    Only Google map is working, and not as great yet as Waze for EV except EV recharge calculations and suggestion.
    This is really annoying, from security perspective, wish to switch radio, on tablet, map disappear on cwnterwheel display.
    Constantly have to get back to tablet radio, change station, back to CarPlay, Waze, reset center wheel console to display Google map.
    Worst if you select Google map, it disable automatically Waze on tablet and cancel trip.
    Make it work or keep independent.…
