One touch notices
I have been a loyal wazer for years and use the Apple CarPlay interface. These are my suggestions:
A) The main screen should have THREE one touch HOT BUTTONS:
1) Object on road
2) Vehicle on Shoulder
3) PoliceIt currently takes two or three clicks to achieve these 3 most common alerts. The change can use simple icons and safety would be greatly improved.
B) When Waze re-routes me, it needs to give more explanation. Examples:
1) “Re-routing due to accident mile marker 204”
2) “Re-routing due to traffic saving 10 minutes”
3) “Re-routing due to construction”Thanks!

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.

Helping the police
I’m a police officer. I always have my Waze map pull up on my CarPlay. But I have found that it does not provide the names of every cross road while driving. I found that is does not have the name of the current street that I am on unless I am navigating somewhere. These are not critical changes as to how the app works in general. Mile markers on the highways would be great as well, specially if I’m trying to find the location of a reported accident. As little as these changes are, they can help save…

confirmation for placing reports on waze map
It would be very useful if Waze had a confirmation for reports that are placed on the map. For example: ‘Are you sure you want to report roadworks?’ and so on for all possible reports
It often happens that a user enters a report that is totally different from what they actually wanted to enter, whether entered with a mobile phone or android auto / carplay, or while driving with voice commands. And to avoid placing an incorrect report compared to reality, it would be interesting to have waze ask for confirmation from the user either via on-screen pop-up…

Speed monitoring for verbal alerting on fixed camera
There is no verbal alerting for fixed camera. I also noticed that Waze checks the speed of my car about 250 meters before the fixed camera. Afterwards, there is no longer a monitoring of the speed (during the last 250 meters before the camera). Therefore, if the driver increases the speed by lack of attention i.e. because he missed the message displayed on the Carplay screen, he becomes exposed (it was my case …). Would it be possible to develop the following improvement (as being an option in the configuration).
- Monitoring of the speed during the last 250 m…1 vote -

Tenho duas ideias incríveis que poderiam beneficiar milhares de usuários do Waze. A primeira é a opção de diminuir o brilho do aplicativo, especialmente para carros como o Onix e o Tracker, que não possuem uma função nativa na multimídia para ajustar o brilho. Durante viagens noturnas, o brilho intenso da tela pode ser bastante incômodo. Ter a opção de diminuir o brilho dentro do próprio Waze seria sensacional, especialmente para usuários do modo Android Auto/Apple CarPlay. Aqueles que utilizam o Waze diretamente no celular já podem ajustar o brilho do aparelho.
Minha segunda ideia é sugerir um modo…

Notifications - Moving modal and/or providing users with ability to "X" out of notifications
In Apple Carplay, Waze notifications pop up and push the directions modal into a small bar with no information except what kind of turn and how far away it is. It removes the worded directions and has made me miss my turn plenty of times. There is no option to "X" out of the notification, only answer "Still there" or "Not still there", but what if I haven't reached the area yet so I can't accurately answer the prompt but need to see my directions? As someone who drives with the sound off in Waze, I'm requesting to provide…

Make it work
Ever since Google bought it, Waze has become less and less reliable. I use it, or try to use it, with Carplay and it gets confused on interstates and lost on secondary roads. I often have to pull over and turn the car and phone off and restart both when making a trip I make very often. I tried to check a route using the web site and it finds the starting pointing and destination, but then just spins and never figures out how to get there. I end up using other navigation apps. I don't know what Google has…

Add a wireless OBD2 sensor for additional vehicle safety information
Suggest adding a wireless Bluetooth OBD2 device (BlueDriver or OBDLink MX+) so Waze can access safety features from your vehicle such as:
1. Blind spot warning
2. Accidental lane departure
3. Show when turn signals are on - for those that forget - optional beep after 5 seconds and before my wife says “YOUR BLINKERS ON!!!”
4. Etc.Option - For lane departure and blind spot warning above - when the two are triggered the Waze display or the hud display below could kick in the appropriate mirror camera video (if the vehicle has mirror cameras) so you see the…

Record audio while reporting an issue (and convert to text?)
When I'm using "report an issue" functionality in CarPlay/while driving, I cannot type what the issue is about. Later, when I'm asked by some community member what the issue is about, I have to recall what it was about and there were cases that I forgot. The issue categories got narrowed so we can't pick the exact issue while reporting it (I don't understand the removal of speed limit issue - the most common issue I'm reporting!).
Since Waze has access to my microphone, I was thinking that maybe a short recording could be made after I report an…

Afficher systématiquement les prochains changement de direction sur l'écran de voiture
Bonjour,
Actuellement chaque directive de waze (changement de direction...) est affichée en haut de l'écran (dans un rectangle noir) pour compléter les indications de guidage sur la carte. Lorsque que la directive suivante est située proche de la première un second message s'affiche avec les mots "puis ensuite ...".
Ma suggestion est d'afficher systématiquement la seconde et éventuellement la troisième directive à suivre (puisqu'il y a de la place en dessous de l'écran, surtout sur un écran de voiture).
Il est vrai que la liste des directives s'affichent systématiquement sur l'écran du téléphone (avec les distances intermédiares) lorsque ce dernier…2 votes -
Make pop up navigation banners informational only
Please add the option to make navigation pop-up banners in CarPlay informational only, and not only an active selection option. Too frequently when I am trying to select something while in the Music or Podcast app (previous track, pause, jump ahead, etc.), the Waze banner keeps incessantly popping up with a navigation direction, and when I think I am selecting an option in the Music or Podcast app, it then selects the banner, taking me to Waze on my car display. In the most ideal scenario, I should only be looking at my screen for a very brief moment to…

Screensaver
In Ontario/Canada as per Highway & Traffic Act, it is illegal to use smartphone/device without hands free operation, and police have stated that submitting status info on apps such as Waze is illegal as per Act and grounds for ticket for not driving “hands free”. Fine for doing so (and using Waze) and distracted driving is currently over $600-800 and 3’demerit points.
Of course I observe police cruisers driving with hands on computer console violating traffic act.
It would be great to have a screensaver (blank screen or other) that could be quickly toggled on Waze display (phone and/or CarPlay…

Add point of interest POI for future
Basically i was driving in a new city and i passed by a building that looked interesting that had a nice looking restaurant, i couldn’t read the name of the restaurant because i was blocked by a bus, this is when i wished i had an option to just add a POI through Carplay by the (what do you see) menu, and when i get home the app would remind me that i added a POI so i could search it up and come back to it later.
When you pass by a place you find interesting and would want…

Caravan Mode / Follow Me Mode
I've been thinking in a new mode for Wazers... I've been driving with family along the road in different vehicles, not once we've been able to keep the same speed or pace and we end loosing sight of where the vehicles are. In Mexico safety its a very important matter, and everytime we are not able to see where the other cars that are driving with us we call them or text them to see if everything is fine. I imagine a Caravan Mode in which multiple Waze accounts are linked for a trip and you can watch the vehicles…

Navigation Info Obscuring ETA on I-285 West in Atlanta, GA (Exit 61 – Airport)
Hi Waze team,
I’d like to report a usability issue I encountered while using Waze with Apple CarPlay. When driving on I-285 West near Atlanta, Georgia, heading toward Exit 61 (Airport / Domestic / Atlanta / Montgomery / Columbus), the navigation panel becomes too large, displaying an extended list of destinations and road names.
In this specific case, the upcoming turn involves I-85 South and multiple destination labels, causing the black instruction box on the left side to expand significantly. This box completely blocks the estimated time of arrival (ETA) and other useful trip data, making it impossible to…
