Suggestions to Improve Navigation and Safety in Waze
I have a few suggestions to improve Waze: First, please keep the name of the destination visible while driving—sometimes it’s easy to accidentally choose the wrong location. Second, when a speed camera alert appears, it covers the current speed, making it hard to know if I'm speeding—please adjust the layout to keep the speed visible. Third, it would be helpful to have an audible alert when there’s a speed camera or police nearby, so drivers don’t need to keep looking at the screen.

Still there button
When the “still there, not there” options appears, on many occasions when trying to select option, I’ve pressed the wrong one due to bumps in road causing hand to go up /down.
The shocks cause car to glide and causes up down motion.
If they were side by side, it would help prevent the “floating” hand moving up and down when trying to select.

“Still going?”
I left for a destination an hour later than what the "plan to leave..." or "time to leave" notifications suggested which caused an error in the app (since I left later, the trip notifications no longer worked). So I had to type in my destination address manually. Maybe this issue calls for some kind of "life happens" measure where you implement a prompt that asks, "Still going?" That way, we can still tap the notification to initiate the trip in a jam—even/especially when we’re super leaving late.

Show cost of travel (toll + fuel + maybe parking values).
When choosing a destination and between different paths, toll routes could have the cost of those tolls.
As an additional feature it could calculate fuel cost (having the car/engine information, average speed and total distance).1 voteThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze calculates and displays toll prices in many parts of the world. To know when this becomes available in your country, stay tuned on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram

warnings for camera an roadworks getting in the way
Which brain surgeon at Waze done that? Why are the notifications for speed cameras and roadworks popping up at the bottom and stopping me from punching in a destination. Who in god’s name did this?

Support different left and right street names on segments
Quite often, roads follow the boundary of cities, regions or even countries. This usually means that one side of the street has a different name and house numbers than the other side.
Waze currently allows one primary street name and alternative names, but that doesn't solve this issue as house numbers are assigned to the primary street and when you search for the street set as an alternative name, you incorrectly get redirected to the primary name.
At the moment, we work around this by assigning the street with the most house numbers as primary street name and add…

Ability to lock screen while riding
Whilst riding (motorcycle) in the rain, the rain can oftentimes register as accidental touches, causing unintentional actions (panning, changing destination etc).
The option to lock the screen from accidental touches and perhaps a simple press and hold or unlock gesture to re-enable touches would help to prevent accidental/unintentional inputs and would reduce avoidable hassle whilst riding in (already) difficult circumstances

Add distance to routes in apple car play
When showing routes in apple car play, only the time to destination of each route is displayed. Please also add the distance of each route, which is a very important parameter for selecting the route.

Your new version wastes my time....
Your new version is not better. It's a step backwards. You require an extra step to plan a drive - why? When I want to save a destination, why do I have to search for it? Why doesn't this version have the capability to add a previously planned / driven route?
And where is the feedback input? "Suggestions" are not the same as feedback...

Add 2 buttons to main screen
Puta separate “Police” and “Traffic on shoulder” buttons on the main screen on the right side. I am sure these are the two most frequently used buttons. Removing the additional steps for these two alerts will make it much easier on drivers AND encourage more participation amount users. My friend uses WAZE, but never alerts the app of police because it takes multiple steps to post alert. It will also provide a more accurate location since those two would need only one touch.

Customize your Waze map and route view when putting your phone on its side.
The arrow placement is not the best where I put my phone, and at third gear, I can't see where to go, and there is no way to customize the view.

Warn the track that the driver is
In some places of São Paulo, like Marginal Tiete and Pinheiros, the mobile GPS not really identifies which track you are (central, express or side) and this can make it difficult when it is done the route (or recalculated). It would be interesting that the user could "fix" warning in which the roads are really and so the waze calculate the route correctly.

Misleading Voice contractions
When Waze voice is talking, the software uses English contractions. Two words contracted into one word. For example "you have" is contracted to the single word "you've". The use of contractions by Waze voice is misleading and can lead to drivers getting lost. Currently, when approaching your destination, Waze will say "You'll arrive in 1000 feet". This is confusing and can be misinterpreted as "You've arrived". Instead, Waze should NOT use contractions and instead speak each individual word. "You will arrive in 1000 feet." "You have arrived at your destination."

Ability to swap sides for navigation and information
My Android Head unit in landscape mode has the navigation on the right side of the screen, and where to, menu and directions on the left.
In the UK with right hand drive and screen on the left I find this works for me. However, I'm sure that those in left hand drive countries may benefit from this being swapped around.
An option to "switch navigation position" or "driver seat position", would be ideal.

Shutdown dialog no longer shows up on first back button or swipe back
Android: Waze used to always show the shutdown dialog box when the back button was pressed or swiped back. Now if I launch Waze and then swipe back, it will go to my home screen and continue running. The behavior is the same if I am already navigating to a destination. Once I return to the home screen, if I open Waze again and then swipe back, it will show the dialog box. Please re-enable the dialog anytime a back swipe is issued. Thanks!

Radar de velocidade média - average speed radar
It would be interesting, in these new “average speed” radars, that along the section in question, the green progression bar that appears in the application on the left side would turn red whenever the vehicle exceeds the allowed average. Here's the tip.
Seria interessante, nestes novos radares de “velocidade média”, que ao longo do troço em questão, a barra de progressão verde que aparece na aplicação do lado esquerdo passasse a vermelho sempre que o veículo ultrapassasse a média permitida. Fica a dica.

Highlight crowded regions, colour it with red to symbolize there may be traffic jam
Don't change the routes but yes but highlight the traffic jams.
Why no alternate routes because it takes same time to reach the destination then. Slight moving traffic would help us reach early.
But let us know it.1 vote -
When reporting anything on the road, cops, accident, construction a header should pop up asling how far back (ie my loction, 150m,300m, 600m
There should be some form of a header that pops up as you're reporting a cop. For example that lets you select how far back from your current location. Same goes for any report you're making on the road. The last heading that pops up should be how far back. Just like the last heading when you report a cop is visible hidden other side of the road.

Android auto Pop-ups
With the new UI, Waze has become frustrating to use on Android Auto. Pop-up warnings should be dismissible with a single click. Instead, and even though the warning looks highlighted, a click jumps me into destination searches. And when a pop-up is present, the selection dial should only select between yes, no, and cancel. Instead it selects across everything on the screen. This can be frustrating and dangerous while driving trying to select the right button to cancel the pop-up so I can see the map.

navigation disappearing android auto
There's a known bug of this and I was directed here by support.
I have found a work around to get Waze navigation to work on the vehicle display through Android Auto.
These steps, in this order, will allow Waze navigation to function on the vehicle display. The steps must be performed each time the phone connects to the vehicle. So switching from wireless Android Auto to wired and vice versa will require following the steps again. All steps are performed on the vehicle display unit, not on the phone.
- Open Google Maps on the vehicle.
- Start navigation in Google…
