Add More Car Icons
I would like to see more options for car icons. Rather than Waze spending time creating the icons, Waze could provide specifications for icons and users could then create and upload their own car icons. A handheld GPS unit I used to have had this capability. It was great to be able to select things like the U.S.S. Enterprise, or Defiant, or Enterprise-E, or Airwolf, or K.I.T.T... or whatever users could come up with.

Hide My Waze/Where to bars
Make an option to hide My Waze/Where to? bars by default.
No, contrary to what you PMs/Dev folks keep saying, these bars do NOT hide themselves.
This is a show stopper. I cannot use the app like this, nor can most of us.
Provide an option to start with those bars hidden and accessible by a swipe up from the bottom.
Yes, I know this is a duplicate; but, y'all aren't listening to.your users about a P1 issue.7 votes -
More informative map or interactive.

Map Colour Choices
The current WHITE or GREY map colour choices are awful and ******* the eyes. Having a nice beige or light green colour for landscape would greatly improve Waze, especially if the roads were white. But other users may prefer other colours, so I good range of map colours would be very beneficial.

I vote for the route in the center of the screen on android car audio
On android car radio the route is not in the center of the screen. Moreover - it is on the right side of the screen, at the maximum distance from the driver. It is very uncomfortable! Fix it please!

Beginning of town (inhabited place) indication - for when to let off the gas in advance
Indicate the next beginning of town somehow on the route.
On the map and/or with info saying "beginning of town in 500m ... 400m ... 200m" etc.
Or even just one popup saying "town in 300m".
Or just with a marker on the map! That would also suffice.I have wanted this feature for years.
Very hard to estimate when in an unknown area.
For those of us mindful about eco driving, there is no point in pressing the gas pedal up until the sign and then braking suddenly from 90km/h to 50km/h.It would be nice to know when…

The points animation feature and sound often blocks the map displayed temporarily in the bottom right corner. During the animation users can’t input another quick report until the animation finishes. User should be allowed the ability to turn off points animation, and the associated sound effect.

Motorcycle mode view
When using motorcycle mode it would be nice to have all the buttons on the left side since the left hand is the only one safe to use while riding. Also maybe personalize this view for motorcycle use, only when a motorcycle vehicle is selected.

Truck routes
Waze dev team,
Please consider an option for drivers (Waze users) to enter in their vehicle height so that Waze can provide them with suitable routes, avoiding routes with low bridges/clearance?
This would be applicable for truck drivers, tradespeople with work vans and work equipment on roof as well as casual drivers with trailers.
Reason for this is to avoid the frequent low bridge collisions or congestion due to truck having to back out of road.
In Australia, prior to GPS maps such as Waze or Google Maps, we used to have truck edition of paper maps or map books…
