I vote for the route in the center of the screen on android car audio
On android car radio the route is not in the center of the screen. Moreover - it is on the right side of the screen, at the maximum distance from the driver. It is very uncomfortable! Fix it please!

User coud select correct lane
In my country (Brazil), there are many places with Express & Local lanes running side by side.
In that case when Waze makes the route and the traffic changes quickly, I decide to choose a different lane (for exemple express instead of local), I wanted to be able to "touch" the screen and select the correct lane, so Waze could re-route and show me the rights options to continue my route.
2 votesGreat news! Lane guidance feature is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

On the paw patrol voice it'll be cool to hear. There's a car stopped on the side of the road, i wonder if Rocky has a part for the car.
Other ideas, Zuma, when you get to your location, can say OK dive it, the beginning when you start, we gotta fly (skye) Green means go (Rocky).

Location based and on route reminders
Often when I'm going somewhere I need to remember to take something with me, eg, a hand-me-down for my nephews when I visit my sister. But I always forget! Can Waze allow us to add reminders to specific destinations and remind us to bring the items when we put that destination into Waze.
Even better would be if Waze reminded us to bring all items we can drop off on any route we enter. eg, I'm heading to my sisters so Waze reminds me to bring the hand-me-down as above but the app also reminds me to take the…

The Green line - (Energy/ Gasoline)
The green line- When a Wazer checks optional routes (and also in the preferences/initial destination route) the most energy efficient route shall be marked as the "Green Line".The Wazer should provide Waze with its car model, design, and year so Waze could calculate the energy consumption.There is a difference between the routes because of distance, time, type of ride etc.At the end of the ride the Wazer will be provided with estimated carbon footprint.From Waze perspective - much more data... and from there you can think about many products and ways to monetize it

Move the thank and negative buttons
Suggestion!
The thank button and the negative badge for warnings are too close and it's easy to touch the unintended one while driving and bumps affect your hand floating while reaching for the screen. .
It would be nice to have the thank button on the left screen and the negative badge on the far right side. .since most phones are placed on the middle of the vehicle dash area. ..
Thanks for the awesome app!

A new feature designed for planning a trip with friend pickups along the way to the final destination. To avoid significantly extending the route or creating major detours, instead of entering the exact addresses of friends as stops, there should be an option to pick them up from a location close enough to their homes but not too far off the main route—such as a spot that is about a 3-5 minute walk from their homes in the direction of the planned trip.
It should be emphasized that this is not an economic model, but rather a way to…0 votes -

Most of mine are the same...

Waze share the drive with a friend.
Share a drives destination with a friend or friend group, where everyone could see others in their navigation map.
And other friends could ether suggest or set a new destination to everyone. This could be acomplished by setting a user level within the group.
Also would be cool to have option to make these groups multiple and enable or disable them.2 votes -
Stop routing traffic inappropriately
I am contacting everyone at Waze right now. Waze is causing problems.
Highway 17 from San Jose to Santa Cruz is notorious for its beach traffic. Waze directing traffic thought downtown Los Gatos and on to mountain side roads to avoid this.
STOP DOING THIS!
First of all this is causing horrendous gridlock in downtown Los Gatos. The town has put up signs telling Beach Traffic to stick to Highway 17. Drivers are ignoring this because Waze gives tells them they can cut thru Los Gatos. This is causing MASSIVE problems.
Second, DON'T direct people off Hwy 17 on to…

SpeedCamera Notification (Close) to be moved
When there is a speed camera, a box appears showing how far away it is, but it covers the information box for:
• how much time is left to reach the destination
• how much distance is left to the destination
• what time you will arrive at your destinationI like the notification, but I don’t like that it covers this information. Maybe make it smaller, like a circle, or move it so it doesn’t cover the destination details.
There should be an option for us to choose from.

Work address flips route based on who last use it.
My work location (a University admin building) has couple entrances with same address via two different streets (Main entrance, and 1st floor ramp back street). Apparently, based on what Waze user last entered the building the route flips to the front entrance without warning which results in route via the north or side south of the city (a waste of time in rush hours.) Is there a way to tie the regular destination to a specific Waze users?

roundabout symbol for right hand drive cars
I have noticed that the navigation / next turn symbol for round abouts is for left hand drive car roads.
so for us who drive from the right side of the car the roundabouts show a right turn going the wrong way around the round about for the third exit.
the map itself is correct, it goes the proper way around, but the next turn signal is wrong7 votes -
Single lane/double lane countdown
For roads that switch between single lane and double lane (in the same direction) forth and back, it would be nice to have a counter indicating how long it is left to next switch.
These kind of roads are common on the swedish country side.

Relocate speed trap notifications in Android Auto
When navigating a route on Waze for Android Auto, speed trap notifications overlap with the distance and time-to-destination information. This is a problem because in large cities we have speed traps with very short distances, which means that one of the main pieces of information is usually hidden from the driver. I suggest relocating these notifications so that the time to destination is always visible.

Show saved locations standerd with recent searches
With an recent update, Waze opens on Android Car with recent searches. Not shown are pre-saved locations like 'work' or 'home'. So now I need to close the recent searches, click on pre-saved locations and click the destination. Previously i could directly click on the saved location. The new update cost more clicks and is slower accessible.

Do AWAY with cartoonish “rewards”
Do AWAY with the cartoonish rewards! This is a useful app and not a ridiculous game. Going 75mph down the highway and I “verify” a car on the side of the road and as soon as I do I come over a small rise and there’s a car in the left shoulder partially in the fast lane and the ridiculous cartoon rewards are still flashing so I can’t press the notification button to alert other drivers!! It’s either a game or a useful app, stop trying to make it both!!

Allow two planned trips as segments of a two day drive.
Currently, when I begin and the second planned drive's destination, Waze gets stuck in a loop showing the messages "Route too long. Recalculating with new arrival day." and "Please wait." It never stops nor allows me to set the second planned drive start (to the destination of the first planned drive). Allow setting start location of a (second/subsequent) planned drive.
