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

Hgv support
Not really suitable for HGVs at the moment.
The live traffic and hazard alerts are still class-leading, and the vehicle-type option is a nice start, but the routing isn’t reliable enough for trucks, it keeps sending you down roads with height or weight limits.
A feature no other HGV satnav has would be live truck-to-truck clearance sharing, where drivers could instantly report the exact height or weight they just cleared under a bridge or restriction, updating the map for everyone in real time.
Even better would be the ability to flag roads that other maps mark as legal but are…

Shared Route Responses
I suggest adding more options to the respond que once someone shares their route with you. Currently, "Thank you" and "I'll be right there" generally don't make sense when clicking on their icon on their route. "Thanks - Drive Safe" or "See you soon!" or maybe, "Bring Ransom Money/ Beer/ Milk/ Candy." 😊

Add an option to always choose the fastest route
Hello,
Waze frequently suggests routes that are not the fastest, even when time-saving alternatives exist.
French Decree No. 2022-1119 of August 3, 2022, which imposed specific rules on navigation assistance services, was annulled by the Council of State on September 27, 2023.
Why does Waze continue to apply criteria that can lead to the exclusion of the truly fastest route?
Please add a clear option—"Always prioritize the fastest route"—that allows the user to select travel time as the sole criterion.
Users should be able to decide for themselves which criterion they wish to prioritize.1 vote -

Check point
“I would like to suggest adding a dedicated ‘checkpoint’ report option in Waze. Currently, users can only report ‘police’, but checkpoints are different and deserve their own category. A specific checkpoint report would provide clearer and more accurate information for drivers, while keeping reports organized. Many users would find this feature useful, especially in areas where checkpoints are common. Thank you for considering this suggestion.”

The ability to change vehicle type
Being able to select "van" or "commercial" would be beneficial as the motoring laws change based on the vehicle your driving. Such as vans or car derived vans speed limits in national speed zones are -10 (60 dual carriageway) and some zones and roads either restrict commercial use or entirely forbid it.

Carplay dark mode
The home and volume / alert buttons in CarPlay dark mode have a grey background and black text. This is very difficult to read. The CarPlay UI button colours, contrast and sizing for volume limit would not pass any modern accessibility check such as WCAG 2.2.
Please review to make this excellent app even better.

Destop browser use - not intuitive
I tried using the website waze.com to do a direction search. It had the destination pre-filled (I clicked a link from another website). I tried to enter a start location (City, ST) but the enter key did not save it or trigger an update. When I clicked outside the start field, it disappeared. Totally blank. I just closed the browser and did a search from maps.google.com.

Don't require location to use Waze, unless the user is seeking directions
I tried using the Waze app on my Android phone. It kept insisting that I must turn on my location. If I were in need of directions I would turn on my location. All I was trying to do was to check traffic in the area. This insistence of having my location on just to open the app is kind of frustrating, so I uninstalled it and went back to Google Maps.
Before I uninstalled it, I did temporarily turn on location and tried to use it. It is not what I would consider 'intuitive'. At least not from the…

BYD
Implement navigation directions on BYD cars heads-up display (HUD) unit for models that have them (e.g. Sealion 7).Google Maps already have this, but Waze is better for navigation.

One-Tap Map Interaction for Lane-Specific Hazard Reporting
Description:
Core Focus:
While lane guidance and hazard reporting exist, specifying the exact lane requires navigating multiple menu taps while driving. This proposal introduces a direct map gesture (One-Tap UI) to make lane-specific reporting instant and seamless.Key Mechanics:
Instead of opening multi-level menus, users tap relative to the highlighted route line on the map:Tap left of the route line: Direct-reports to the left lane/shoulder.
Tap on the route line: Direct-reports to central lanes.
Tap right of the route line: Direct-reports to the right lane/shoulder.
Key Benefits:
Reduced Driver Distraction: Cuts reporting down from multiple menu taps to a…

Let me turn off the popups out of app while using carplay
The constant popups when i choose to leave the app in carplay for any reason are infuriating and makes using the car interface rather than picking up my phone less safe.
My reasoning for this is simple, i KNOW that my turn is coming up in half a mile, let me take not even 3 seconds to call my brother and my eyes are back on the road, that should be how it works but it simply isnt, every millisecond after you clear the popup it simply comes up with another and then i have to clear that… so on…
