Add more than one stop
Being unable to add only one stop makes Waze secondary to Maps and renders it obsolete. The way it is designed makes it a fun app, not an applicable tool. I will be removing Waze from my Honda’s CarPlay and try to figure out how to use Maps. I find it essential to have ALL stops included in my trips; I don’t have the time during a “trip” to get out my phone to keep renavigating.

False data due to UI
When sitting in heavy traffic, it blocks the view of ETA status until an alert ‘still there’ or ‘not there’ is not selected, in CarPlay mode.
This makes people report false data just to get back to the ETA screen. They don’t even know if that alert is present or not, leading to various occasions of false data.
Suggestion: to enable that pop up in heavy traffic once the user is closer to that located bubble.

Card novos no Android Auto
Android Auto no Brasil foi atualizado e agora se parece muito com Apple carplay. Existem cards como Google Mapas, Spotify... Mas senti falta do card do Waze. Hoje é o aplicativo de mapas que utilizo, mas com essa nova mudança ficou muito mais prático e bonito a utilização do Mapas do Google. Que tal implementar o mesmo design ao Waze e voltar a ser o mais top?

Support for dimensions and combinations such as caravans
I propose that Waze allows users to save multiple vehicles, each with their own dimensions, including height, width, and length. It should also be possible to add vehicle combinations, such as a car with a caravan or trailer, where the additional dimensions are automatically taken into account during route planning.
Users could then manually select the appropriate vehicle or combination before starting a trip, or Waze could automatically detect the vehicle via CarPlay or Android Auto.
It is essential that Waze takes infrastructure limitations into account—such as bridge heights, narrow roads, sharp turns, and low tunnels—so that any routes that…

audio
When streaming audio carplay/waze pauses it for an announcement. But the pause is almost delayed 1-2 seconds and I miss out on what is said. It would be best if when audio is paused waze was either more accurate in its pausing or go back ~3-5 seconds when restarting. So as to not miss what is said. I think part of the issue is the fading out of audio.

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
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…

Bring back "wrong speed limit" report
I'm using Apple CarPlay if that changes anything.
Some years ago, I could report "wrong speed limit". Now there is no report button like this and it causes the entire reporting worflow much longer: I report a general issue, then someone finds it, asks me what the issue is about (and I don't always remember if it was about the limit), and then I reply and they fix it. It could be just 1 click and then someone fixes it - much faster!

Was there an update?
Using CarPlay the option to look at and choose alternate routes is gone. It has been replaced with a second magnifying glass to search for addresses/locations.
Also, on the app on the telephone, you can see alternate routes, but you are unable to choose one different than the one Waze has picked for you.
Was there an update? If so, how can we undo it?

Routes
When using carplay with Iphone: in oorder to see all the routes, one need to click on the arrow and then a window opens with the initial route already offered, and the request to click again on the screen to see all the routes. The second click on the screen is completely unnecessary because it is clear that if I click the first time to see routes I would like to see all the options (usually 3 ). Maybe you can check its cancellation. Thank you

The Menu used to br on the left side with the settings on the lower rif
ght side and speed was always available. Hope you can rectify because the speed reading is very important to me

The latest update was actually a "downdate". Last destinations are no longer there, as is the keyboard button on the Apple carplay screen.c
Please put back

Enhancement Request: Change in way to acknowledge "Still there" "Not there" on app
Using Carplay, the message pops up with header followed by your 2 choices.
If you could make it so the message is in the middle, choice 1 on top, and choice 2 on bottom, it would be alot easier to correctly select your choice while driving on a touch screen display.
I love the app, and figured I'd submit this to try to make it even better!

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!

More re-routing flexibility
I would love to specify how open i am to re-routing before a journey - i.e. being able to choose ‘reroute automatically - get me there ASAP’ or ‘don’t reroute without confirmation - prefer my route where possible.’
Why: I drive a specific one of two ways out of my city when taking a long journey because while the other road is technically faster if you drive at the speed limit it is also dangerous and has poor surface conditions. This means in reality it is slower and stressful. If I do not manage to cancel the re-routing in time,…

Toll
I was using Waze in CarPlay today taking a ride on the PA turnpike. It showed that the toll rates were $22.00. This is the accurate toll price if I was paying cash or using toll by plate where they take a picture of my license plate. But people who have an ezpass pay significantly less than that rate, sometimes 50% less. Could you add an option in the Waze account to show the ezpass toll rate vs the cash rate toll rate? Perhaps a toggle button that you have an expand transmitter.
When I drive from Philly to nyc…

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

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.

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.
