Business Icons Overlapping Navigation Directions
What if the icons / markers / commercials for the paying customers / businesses would not cover the navigation directions completely? Nor the icons of "Police", "Speed Camera" and other users' reports?
I'm keeping the audio set on "Alerts only" and we almost missed a road exit completely masked by a LIDL store icon (we were on a suspended intersection somewhere in Slovenia / Croatia, the store was somehow below us and its icon completely covered the navigation direction). Then it happened again with a speed camera, then a police radar had the same faith...
Luckily, the alerts are also…

Fix bugs in Waze/Carplay interface
Hello Waze! Love your app but can't use it on CarPlay due to some technical issues. In my car Waze comes up very loud and seems impervious to the volume controls on my steering wheel, but when I persist, it stops talking to me all together which is not a good thing when you're in the middle of a Drive into a complicated traffic situation. Please fix this issue so I can start using and enjoying ways again. Unfortunately now I am using Google maps which I don't like nearly as much, but at least it allows me to turn…

New UI prevents sleep after starting a drive
Sleep button used to be accessible via the bottom left menu. Now it’s inside the top right new UI which is not on screen (not clickable) when a drive is started…
The UI changes need to be better tested for usability because this is frustrating and not needed…2 votes -
Speed trap
When speed trap notification pops up. Tachometer becomes hidden behind the directions element. That makes it impossible to read current speed and also max speed limit. Maybe the possible cause is scaled system UI. I think the speed trap notification could popup small in the corner.

Showing time in hh:mm Android auto
Why is waze showing driving time on android auto in minutes only instead of hours and minutes? It's now 270, not 4h 30 min.

Change “Work” label
You have the option of setting Home & Work locations. However, many of us work from home and could use the Work option for a second significant location (school, partner house, etc). Obviously we can still use this feature, but it’d be nice to be able to adjust the label accordingly so it reflect accurately!

Add distances to next POI
Audi Nav system has a really useful widget on the display showing how many miles/kms to the next POI along the route you have selected. By way of an example I found it really useful to be able to glance at the screen and see that the next service station was 3 miles away and the one after was 30 miles. This could be used for a variety of POIs and you could go as far to also add fuel/charging points and the prices of fuel at those areas. The key part of this idea though is that it considered…

Lane Guidance on Roundabouts
When approaching a roundabout in the UK, waze will not tell me which lane I need to be in, to take my desired exit.
This is something that Google maps does so WELL! Please consider adding this on waze.

“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.

Smart Watch Notifications
It would be greatly beneficial if you all would incorporate a feature that Apple Maps (and Google Maps as well I’m told) has with smart watches. A gentle vibration to alert users to turns or hazards would be a great help. I use WAZE on the highway to alert me to hazards/speed traps, but for city driving, I use Apple Maps. This is specifically for the smart watch notifications

Revert your recent update
Your recent upgrade has brought my rating from 5 stars to 2 stars.... Did you test this??? Or just release it and cross your fingers. As someone with experience in software upgrades and testing I would have been sacked for the mess now masquerading as Waze. It wasn't broken so Why??

Knowing the direction of the closure
Hi>
Why isn't the closure displayed in the app the same way it is on the Waze map editor?
We often encounter misleading reports where users believe the entire street is closed.
I believe it would be beneficial to add small arrows to the traffic closure, similar to those in the map editor, to indicate the direction of the closure.thanks!

Show the sleep button on all screens.
It’s too hard to scroll back to sleep- map stays on unless it’s disabled and will drain data and power. Make it easier to turn off.

Indications constante de vitesse maximum autorisée
Bonjour, à l'heure actuelle la limite de vitesse s'affiche en rouge une fois la vitesse dépassé. Serait-il possible de mettre constamment la vitesse maximum autorisée en gris derrière notre allure et afficher en plus gros et rouge une fois dépassé ?
Sur les routes les panneaux change constamment de vitesse. Il est possible de loupé un panneau d'indication de vitesse. Avec le suivie waze ça nous indiquerai la bonne vitesse tout en précisant que waze n'est en aucun cas responsable de la vitesse du conducteur ou de la mauvaise indication de vitesse.1 vote -

Plan a Drive not working!
When you save your drive a day or two in advance, as soon as you leave the app your drive is gone! Need this feature to work like it should, as commuters try to plan accordingly day(s) in advance to allow for traffic/construction delays.UPDATE this great feature so it works again.
