Navigate through alerts popups
There have been many times when I'm stopped and Waze is cycling through the different alerts that people have reported and I'll see the tail end of one and then it changes and I have no way to go back to see it again.
I would like to see a forward, backwards, and don't show this alert again option.

geotagged photo's
Add a function to take geotagged photo's and show them on the map. This way you can take a picture of a street sign, and later enter the street name in cartouche without having to look it up on another map

Loading Status
I find that usually waze appears to load quite quickly, but will then freeze intermittently and loosing GPS lock whilst actually finishing 'loading' (Contacting server etc). It would be good it some form of message or progress bar could be shown so that it is obvious that it is still loading and not actually frozen

Add the ability to bring up the list of roads on the Car Play screen.
Add the ability to bring up the list of roads on the Car Play screen. In Australia it is illegal to use the Phoine whislt driveing so we cant view the road list. Not aware of any other Phone app that has this feature

Use traffic signals as landmarks
Instead of just using distance or street names use traffic signals! "Turn right at the 3rd traffic light" is so much better than "at South Street, turn left" when the street sign for South Street has been missing for 7 years and you're from out of town. And for the love of God tell us which land to be in for smoother transitions! I mean, Google maps does it.... JS

Cancel the waypoint option (not the whole trip)
At the moment adding only 1 waypoint is possible. On android auto, pressing "x" removes the whole route. It doesn't even offer the choice of canceling waypoint or cancel the whole trip.

Stop limit for 1 intermediate stop (waypoints)
More than "one stop" limit on the route. At the moment you can set only 1 stop on my route.
I like to use waze for motorcycle trips, often a loop, staring at home, finishing at home.
Also if you have a route reset and you want to add a petrol station, it doesn't let you.
Allow more waypoint options. Much more than 11 vote -

Nearest petrol station on the driven route
During active navigation, on android auto, when I search for petrol station I shows me the nearest one as the crow flies, but not the nearest one on my route. (As does google maps do.)
Sometimes it shows me a petrol station 2km away, but to get there i need to drive 20km, then drive of the highway, and drive 20km back.
Also zooming and moving of the map would be nice while viewing the petrol stations, to see if they are a viable option.1 vote -

Confirm certain Alerts once
I travel the same route 2-3 times a week with several potholes. Why do i have to confirm "Still There" / "Not There" alerts even though i have already done this on this route. Certain alerts such as "Police" or Car on Shoulder" makes sense but why must i re-confirm something i have confirmed already.

Reduce Resource Consumption
Why is Waze so resource intensive - My phone is constantly hot and my battery power gets thrashed - it feels like im running a data centre with all the resources you draw ... I always have to plug my phone in during a long trip, but this is not the case with any other mapping system.
Please find out why you hogg all my power and processing power and fix

Gostaria de sugerir a inclusão de um modo de navegação específico para veículos pesados (caminhões e ônibus). Atualmente, o aplicativo conta apenas com configurações para veículos leves, motos e táxis.
Para quem trabalha no transporte de cargas, é fundamental ter rotas que respeitem as restrições de peso e altura de pontes, viadutos e vias urbanas, além de exibir os limites de velocidade corretos para a categoria nas rodovias. Essa funcionalidade traria muito mais segurança e eficiência para os caminhoneiros nas estradas do Brasil.1 vote -

Dynamic Green Corridors: Infrastructure-Integrated Predictive Routing for Emergency Vehicles
This system connects Waze directly to a city’s emergency dispatch and traffic light grid using a secure, locked-down connection. When an ambulance or fire truck is dispatched, Waze calculates its route and instantly talks to the city's traffic systems to automatically change upcoming traffic lights to green. At the same time, Waze's engine predicts traffic bottlenecks 60 to 90 seconds ahead of the emergency vehicle and triggers a "flushing mode." This gives everyday drivers a clear, early countdown and lane instructions right on their screens, safely moving everyone out of the way and clearing gridlock before the emergency vehicle even arrives. I'd love to hear the community's thoughts on bridging the app with city infrastructure like this!

Scaling Waze via Infrastructure Integration and Predictive Routing
Dear Waze Executive Team,
I joined the Waze community recently, and as a business owner, engineer, AI professional, and cybersecurity specialist, I immediately recognized the immense strategic value of your crowdsourced data model. Waze has successfully gamified and decentralized navigation; however, the next leap in market dominance lies in transforming Waze from a consumer mapping application into a critical pillar of B2G and smart-city infrastructure.
I have developed a high-level product framework for a premium or enterprise-tier ecosystem that I call "Dynamic Green Corridors." This feature leverages Waze’s predictive routing engine to interface directly with municipal traffic management centers, creating a real-time clearance system for emergency services.
I have broken down the high-level architecture into three core pillars:
Smart City Infrastructure Link: Establishing secure, low-latency API handshakes with municipal traffic management systems. By ingesting real-time dispatch data, Waze can request automated preemptive signal priority — extending green lights or accelerating red-to-green transitions — along an active emergency route.
Predictive Routing and Congestion Flushing: Utilizing Waze’s historical and real-time traffic data, the AI routing engine calculates exactly where bottlenecks will form 60 to 90 seconds ahead of an approaching emergency vehicle. It triggers a "flushing mode," dynamically altering traffic signals for civilian drivers to disperse gridlock before the emergency vehicle arrives.
Contextual User-Facing Orchestration: Providing civilian drivers with precise, predictive UX cues, such as an alert stating an emergency vehicle is approaching in 45 seconds and instructing them to clear the left lane. This shifts driver behavior from reactive panic to organized, proactive compliance.
The Business and Security Case:
From a cybersecurity perspective, interfacing with municipal infrastructure introduces unique vector risks. This architecture would require a strict zero-trust model, utilizing hardware-security modules and mutually authenticated TLS to isolate traffic control grids from external manipulation.Strategically, this positions Waze as an indispensable municipal partner, opening up massive public-sector revenue streams, mitigating city-wide emissions from idle traffic, and drastically reducing emergency response times.
Given my background across engineering, enterprise security, and business scaling, I see a clear roadmap for how this can be securely executed. I have several other architecture and feature concepts aligned with this vision and would welcome the opportunity to discuss how we might collaborate to pilot a framework like this.
Thank you for your time and continued innovation.

Apple Carplay HUD Integration Idrive 7
I am writing to formally request the implementation of Head-Up Display (HUD) turn-by-turn navigation support for the Waze iOS app via Apple CarPlay.
I currently drive a 2019 BMW 320d (G20) running iDrive 7. While Apple Maps seamlessly pushes navigation data, street names, and directional arrows directly to my windshield's HUD, Waze remains completely incompatible with this safety feature on iOS.
I am aware that Apple's CarPlay framework has included the necessary APIs for secondary displays for quite some time, and I know that Waze via Android Auto already projects to the HUD on iDrive 7. Furthermore, while the recent version 5.4 update brought instrument cluster support to newer iDrive 8 vehicles, it entirely bypassed both HUD integration and widespread systems like iDrive 7.
Having navigation prompts on the HUD is a critical safety feature that keeps drivers' eyes on the road. Currently, I am forced to run Apple Maps for the HUD visuals while keeping Waze running in the background for hazard alerts.
Please escalate this to your iOS development and product management teams. The BMW community relies heavily on Waze, and closing this feature gap between Android Auto and Apple CarPlay would vastly improve the driving experience.
