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.

keep basic info when refreshing a route on https://www.waze.com/livemap
imo, a REFRESH of a page here https://www.waze.com/livemap should not forget the origin and destination and start everything from scratch, but rather recalculate optional routes using info already entered and validated by your user

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…

Kids in the car alert
Kids in the car alert so we stop hearing sad stories!
Add the option for parents to add this info to their account, maybe even to add their children's names. and upon arrival to destination, make the waze voice say something like: dont forget kids in the car, or dont forget sara in the car....
Same way you make the sound at the beginning of the drive to remind to turn on the lights .
Maybe even make a pop up alert that you can only close by pressing ok.....3 votes -
100% repro bug
This is a bug report:
The issue is the app is unresponsive upon entering the search field which maximizes (latest iOS).
The way to reproduce this 100% of the time, ensure that when the app opens, you receive a pop-up suggestion for an upcoming frequent destination. You must then ignore this pop-up and initiate a search. This will cause the app to become unresponsive when the search function maximizes.
To work around this issue, you must first dismiss the frequent destination suggestion pop-up and you’ll be able to search and use the app normally.

Copilot
There are three very useful things missing to make driving safer: 1. Speed traps alerts if speed limit drops ahead, a warning of change will do. 2. Exit speeds beyond a delta; you might be on 65 limit with short ramp at 25 exit unfamiliar with rain at night is dangerous. 3. Save preferred routes like roads you like leaving your town because of deer, fog, blind turns, or whatever drive your preference without having to put your destination and then a stop to force a route or else reroute messages come at every corner

I need suport on this as I've tried to get Waze to make this adjustment but they keep saying enough people have to agree
It seems crazy to me that you can so easily post a vehicle stopped on the side of the road...not effecting traffic at all...yet there is no option to report a vehicle broken down in the middle of Freeway lanes, causing a monumental traffic jam! There is an option for roadkill!!! Like a squashed squirrel is really going to impact your journey...but nothing for a vehicle. I had this problem happen to me. There was an almighty backup and I had no idea why. There was a vague report about "an Object" in the road, but you think of a…
7 votesGreat news! The feature of reporting a stopped vehicle is now available under Hazard on road in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

Turn off close to home
Much the same way the “still there” interface pops up when you are close to a reported cop or car on the side of the road, have a pop off for “continue/stop” when you are close to home. I suggest 1mile radius from your Home location.

Risk when reporting... risks.
My common reporting in Waze is for cars stuck on the shoulder, happy to do it and save accidents.
However, it takes several screens/categories to report a car on the side of the road.
I suggest that upon clicking on the Report button a list of the most common issues will open, whether it is by remembering my common reportings or the community's - and not the lenghty "by category" menu. On dark roads at night, to report a hazard is a lenghty and risky "eyes off the road" task.

Crashing issues on Android
I think waze is great, unfortunately it doesn't work on my new Samsung Galaxy Y Pro B5510. Every time I try to enter a destination or touch just about anything on the screen it crashes.

Split major roads to reflect the reality of the situation
Major roads are often shown as one road when in reality they are two roads. These means alerts may refer to one side or the other causing confusion. For example is the police alert for the other side of the road or this side. Its an obvious flaw in the presentation of map data. The reality is not reflected by the maps.

Simplify road closed
Marking a road closed can be simplified. Waze knows where it wants me to go, I hit the button saying closure, why am I not asked to confirm that road X is closed? I could do that, probably while trying to figure out where to go and traffic is behind me. There is no way I can figure out why waze is giving me a bunch of arrows pointing everywhere when I just said that road you want me to take is closed. Get me out of here and toward my destination, please..

Automatically set an arrival time for 15 or 30 mins prior to my calendar events. .
People don't want to arrive at their destination at the time their event starts. An option in settings to automatically make your arrival time 15 or 30 mins prior to the start time would be extremely helpful.

Pouivoir inverseer le trajet
Fonction pour inverser le trajet :
MAPS propose une fonctionnalité intéressante que ne propose pas WAZE, je veux parler de l'inversion de trajet.
Quand on planifie un trajet, on ne peut pas modifier le lieu de départ par rapport à celui d'arrivée.
Waze propose systématiquement comme lieu de départ l'endroit où l'on se trouve.
Exemple : je veux calculer depuis chez moi à quelle heure partir d'un endroit X vers mon domicile. Avec Waze je ne peux pas.
Avec MAPS, je clique sur les flèches tête bêche à droite de la destination et les destinations s'inversent.
Voilà quelle est…

Data is NOT clear
On Android auto app (new release) the data of distance and time to destination and time of arrival is NOT clear, and i think that the amount paid should be deleted (or put a special button for it)

Retrospective report submission
The option to retrospectively report an alert for other drivers. Reporting alerts such as collisions, police activity, petrol prices etc can’t and shouldn’t really be done while driving (if driving alone) - but once at a standstill, or at your destination, the option to scroll back down your route and place the alert at the location worth mentioning would be ideal. - the orange button to do so only appears while en-route and your map “centered” using the compass, which takes you away from where you want to report the activity.

Please bring Parking recommendation back
In the past, on Android Auto when searching for a destination, the parking locations nearby used to show up. Now after an update sometime back (don't know if it is a Waze update or Android Auto update), this is no longer the case. Instead, you have to start navigating to your destination and then Search>Categories>Parking to see this.
And to make it weird, the behaviour here is a hit and miss, with most of the times when this is selected, it returns a 'No Items' message (especially if I am logged in to my account)

Enable/disable "Standby" via slide lock or confirmation pop-up.
The new "Standby" function is not as friendly as I thought it would be. Lets say you've arrived at your destination and have placed Waze on standby and a few seconds later, you realize that you've got a new destination you want check up on (ETA? Location?) or you just want check your settings...
ERRR!
In order to access anything on the Waze app, it will trigger your device's GPS feature and if not mindful, your battery will pay the price (drain!).Lie my subject title suggests... a slide-to-confirm standby, ON/OFF button, would be great.

Why is there no FROM location and a TO destination? I can only START from my home address or go TO my home address.
Garmin has a START FROM anywhere TO anywhere. WAZE doesn’t.

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
