Service to all.
Stop the pandering. If you are going to map the map in color, do it for everyone, not just a specific group, in a specific month…we’re tired of it.

Add report button in Waze to mark location to look at later in WME
Add a report button or a togglable on-screen button to mark the current location which then can be viewed later in the Waze Map Editor.
Currently users need to either create a UR or take a screenshot in order to remember the location to look at later in the Waze Map Editor.

Close app on iPhone.
Go back to the old system of closing the app. Like many other people, I use my phone for directions and the recent changes are so annoying that I’m seriously thinking of removing the app. I could live with the annoyance of being automatically connected when I’m in my newer car via apple play - but now this is just backward to close the app via my iPhone.

Leave time on Home Screen
Whenever you plan a drive, always display the time to leave for the next planned drive(s) on the landing screen of waze. This already exists but the frequency of it being displayed on the Home Screen of the app seems random. Please consider having the leave time at a glance on the home screen whenever a drive is planned or allowing the user to toggle the box for always on, recommended on, or off. Thanks!

Stop Waze auto starting
Stop Waze from auto starting as soon as I get in my car that has wireless Apple Car Play and for that fact even if I plug in it should not auto start. I don’t always want Waze on and it is annoying in the background beeping and alerting even without a direction. This should be an option to auto start not forced. This is an unwanted feature and like and invasion on privacy and personal choice.
I’ve tried Twitter to talk with Waze to no end, said I had to use this forum. I am forced to delete the…3 votes -
Know Police Enforcement Zones
Waze is a great tool for being notified of any police that are in the area. Police tend to use the same places to park and hide while waiting for you to come along.
Wazes stores the data on where the police are hiding or parked waiting to measure your speed.
My idea is for ways to have a new alerts feature called "known Police enforcement zones"
This will assist in helping with unwanted encounters with law enforcement when police aren't already tagged on the app.Please add "known Police Enforcement Zones"
I know everybody will love this added layer…3 votes -
Disable split screen
Please add the ability to disable split screen view entirely. On my Mazda with knob controls it is a pain to deal with and sluggish and I have to go through it every time I want to go back to the app selection screen (home screen). One button press should take me home, not expand a second media screen

BUG: Knob controls selection box skips around
My Mazda interacts with Android Auto via control selector knob rather than touch screen. When an alert pops up for police, it gives two options to pick from: not there or still there when I rotate my control knob to move the highlighted selection box over to one of those options, the system will automatically jump the selection box back to the default position up top before I can even make a choice. Please fix so the selection box stays where the user moves it to. It times out almost instantly.

Revert user interface android auto
New interface is unusable on non touch screen interfaces. There should be an option to change back. The left menu now obscures half the map, making it harder to see where you're going. Confirming obstructions is now impossible with a scroll wheel, as you scroll along the options by the time you notice the button is highlighted its skipped to the next button but you are then unable to reverse the scroll back to the option, you have to scroll forward through everything again. Trying to access the menus or report obstructions is also pretty impossible with the new interface…

Revert your recent update
Your recent upgrade has brought my rating from 5 stars to 2 stars.... Did you test this??? Or just release it and cross your fingers. As someone with experience in software upgrades and testing I would have been sacked for the mess now masquerading as Waze. It wasn't broken so Why??

Black buttons on Black backgrounds are terrible
Your recent Android Auto updates have been horrendous. Instead of having colorful, vibrant, easily identifiable buttons, everything is now pure black with headache-inducing white text. Black buttons overlay black menus, and the driver cannot distinguish between any of the controls without taking their eyes off the road for long periods. Controls are scattered around the screen in tiny black dots like a spilled bag of marbles. Waze is now a dangerous app to use. Bring back color!! Bring back black text on light backgrounds!! Bring back menu bars!! Or at the very least, let the user CHOOSE to have the…

If no route chosen, hide previous drives menu so i can see the map.
There is a menu of previous drives that pops up when Android Auto (using Waze) starts up. If I don't choose a destination on that menu (or, create a new destination) after I'm underway please minimize the previous drive destinations so I can see the map. This drive I don't need guidance, but would still like to see the map. Thanks

screen area usage is very poor. Bulky information boxes, too generous black margins - not much left for the map itself

Get the next turn announcement in distance instead of time
Coming from Google Maps, it is frustrating hearing the next turn, announcement in time, I can't even figure out how far am I from that
You should be able to change that in settings3 votes -
Drive left/right reminder
As part of the user profile, the user should be asked 1) which country they reside in, and 2) if they would like reminders to keep left (or right) when actually driving in a country that drives opposite that to which they are accustomed, i.e. "Turn right at Turnhere Road, remembering to keep left." Use of the feature would be optional.

Unable to fill search field from result
When typing an address for a search it shows autocomplete results which are perfect but if you want to extend one of the search results in the search field then not possible. So there must be an option with each item in searched list to get the result and fill in the search box so later can add more in it. At the moment it’s downright annoying.
