Auto cancel the "Where to" and "My Waze" bars
When we use the map and do not choose a destination, the "Where to" and "My Waze" bars at the bottom of the screen - especially in the landscape position - occupy almost half of the screen, which makes it very difficult to read the map. They should disappear after a few seconds and reappear when you touch the screen. I would like to ask you to introduce this minor and very helpful modification.

Plot your chosen route by drawing it on, just like you would do with a traditional paper map.
I mostly know how to get where I'm going, except for the last 200 yds.
So, what I currently do, is to programme in a destination, then ignore the sat-nav until that last few streets.
But if I'm mid-journey (on my chosen route) and I hit a big delay or something, I have to try and read my paper map to get me a decent alternative "cross-country", then get back to actually heading towards my destination.2 votes -

Seeing other that need assistance
I thought it would be helpful to have an Assitance request in Waze, but I wondered if there could be a feature instead of me requesting assistance for me if it could be for someone else. Also, there was a stretch of highway where I did see someone on the other side pulled over, trying to alert for assistance. I was wondering if that could be a future feature. By the time I got close to the off-ramp to drive the other way, it already was 30 minutes, and I decided to keep going because I was hopeful that maybe…

Suggest the "Major Accident" icon be outlined in red to stand out
Suggest the "Major Accident" icon be outlined in red to stand out. There currently is no differentiation between a minor accident and a major accident. Since a major accident can significantly affect your driving time (avoiding the resulting traffic jam) where a minor accident (fender bender on the side of the road) won't, it is important to differentiate. Suggest a bold red outline on the icon.

Buttons for confirm/dismiss -For CarPlay
Have confirm/dismiss buttons in larger “square” shaped format side by side rather than 2 long skinny rectangles on top of each other. More prone to accidentally clicking the wrong one while driving because there is little space for error while clicking. If they were decent sized 2 squares side by side, easier to click the correct one.

Street your on all the time plus direction
I wish they listed the street you are on even when you don’t add a destination address. Also I wish it showed direction all the time too. Vote yes!
1 voteThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Never stop instructions until the user click on stop
On iPhone, instructions stops when we are close to the destination or when we go too far !! This is almost dangerous. Instructions should never stop until the user click on "stop".

One touch Highway/No Highway route recalculation
so that I can check and see if the highways are doing worse than the side streets, it would be great to have a one touch button after the routes are calculated to switch to no highway, let the routes recalculate and then if I want to switch back to highway

Default Icons for Common Selections on main selection screen instead of going through menu selections
Allow users to create defaults for commonly used selections.
Example, when car is located on a route on the side of the road, you have to select hazard -> on shoulder -> vehicle stopped.
Would be nice to have the button vehicle stopped on main screen as it is one of the most common selections I choose.

Sound Navigation
One of my favorite things about Maps is when I'm in route to my destination and I want to here what my next step in my direction is that I can tap the screen and here the lady tell me what to expect next whether I'm .2 miles away, 1 mile away or 5 miles away from my next turn. With Waze If I'm driving and want to hear what my next turn is I have to wait for the app to choose when to vocally acknowledge what I am to do next. I would like Waze to have the…

Settings
I am taxi and Uber-taxi driver in Boston MA, USA.
On my Uber Partner App., I use WAZE as GPS navigator.
One time, I turned on navigation future to go to customer’s destination.
At the same time customer used WAZE App, sitting in the back sit of my car, to navigate to same destination.
We were surprised: both navigators showed different directions.
What is it, different settings on WAZE App. (I am new user; use WAZE App. only two months)?1 voteThanks for reaching out.

One Click Button
To make Waze more hands free and safe, please add a "Vehicle on the side of road" button on the main map. One tap notifications will help drivers quickly notify the community of stopped vehicles and will allow less app usage while driving. it currently takes several taps to mark a stopped vehicle.

Look both ways when a road ends at a two-way road and you turn right
When driving on a road that ends in a two-lane road and you want to turn right, you usually only look to the left to see if a vehicle is approaching.
I think that in these cases, Waze should give a voice warning to check visually in both directions.
It may happen that on the right side a vehicle is overtaking another and the driver is doing so on the opposite lane, the lane you intend to enter.
The danger can increase if visibility is poor due to vegetation or other objects.7 votes -
Change driver position to reflect road directions on the Android Auto
I drive on the right side and the map direction is on the top left, which requires me to look a bit further than I should. This feature already exists in Google Maps. If it's possible to arrange the direction to the right side, that will greatly improve the navigation experience and provide safer driving on the road.

Planned drive with expected weather forecast
At least once a year I go on a drive 800km drive during a period when the weather could be questionable, I generally look at the weather in major points along my route several days in advance to determine if we need to leave early or perhaps late to avoid weather. This year we left a couple of hours before a major storm, but managed to stay ahead of it.
I would like to see a planning mode where I could potentially input my planned destination into Waze a couple of weeks before my planned trip, along with my earliest…

Map comments usage warning message
Could a warning be added to the left side or a pop up warning on save that states map comments are only seen in the editor and not the app. They are for reference. If trying to report an issue use the Send a Report, Map issue option in the app.
