More bad weather descriptions
Instead of “bad weather reported ahead,” there should be options for co-pilots to select “high winds,” or blowing snow,” or “heavy rain,” or “hail,” or “sleet,” or “tornado,” etc

Bring back the old speedometer position (bottom left corner)
With the latest update, the speedometer on the mobile app has moved from the bottom left corner to the center of the bottom edge of the screen. This new position is distracting and interferes with map visibility, especially when checking upcoming turns or traffic info.
The previous placement in the bottom left corner was much more intuitive and out of the way. Please consider giving users the option to choose the speedometer position, or revert it back to where it was.

Proposal for Drone-Based Navigation Feature in Waze
Dear Waze Management Team,
My name is Mehdi Shojaei, and as a loyal and frequent user of Waze, I would like to share an idea that could significantly enhance both the user experience and driving safety.
Nowadays, some modern vehicles (especially new Chinese models) have introduced an innovative feature where a drone is deployed to scan the road ahead and provide the driver with live, useful information. This technology ensures that drivers can stay informed about upcoming traffic, obstacles, or road conditions without being distracted or forced to make sudden stops.
I would like to suggest that Waze implement a…

Private roads should be marked a different colour
This is more for the map editors view on waze, but it would be greatly beneficial to have Private Roads marked as say a dark yellow, and for the off-roads to be marked as brown - just like in the map editor. Accidently went down a dead-end farm road and would have helped to have been aware of a private road colour.
This is a suggestion for the map editors UI view which can be activated in the Waze app. As a side note, have voted on another idea but please make Footpaths marked as a dotted line across both…

Age limit on appstore
Please lower the age restriction on AppStore, to the same age it was a until not long ago.
Since you updated it to 17+, I can no longer use your app, due to the restrictions I put on my phone, to filter content.
Thank you!3 votes -
Please make bigger the speed limit
The speed limit and current speed are so small on the screen you can’t really see it when glancing - needs to be a similar size as the one on Google maps abs Apple Maps and make it so it’s easily readable

Autofill for street names
Hello,
I've been using Waze for a couple of years now and have been missing a very simple option that would make using the App A LOT better. I'm talking about the option to suggest street names which you can autofill without having to type in the whole name of the street (just like in YouTube, where it suggests based in what you are typing, but clearly even more useful here).I do use Waze often and have to say i find it pretty frustrating and annoying when i have to type a street with 3 or 4 words in…

Instalei no meu carro. Android, aparelho de 9". Não é Android Auto. As letras ficam pequenas, por volta de 1 mm. O Mapa também fica pequeno,
I installed it in my car (Multimedia). Android, 9" device. It's not Android Auto. The letters are small, around 1 mm. The map is also small, even at maximum zoom. The speedometer is about 12 mm. There should be an option to choose the map resolution.

Individual Volume Settings
Please implement a dedicated sound/volume setting allowing for volume to be increased to as loud or as low as wanted. Some vehicles and devices are having issues selecting louder volume for Waze, especially when using other infotainment features like Bluetooth music or CarPlay.

Do not dim navigation on opening audio. Make track skip buttons bigger. Allow nav controls to be adjustable on nav Screen
Allow users to customise their nav screen so they can position and size the features they need.
Most importly, just because I want my audio player open with bigger track skip buttons and current track listing DO NOT DIM THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE MAP SCREEN! I’m still navigating, why make it dark and hard to see because I want to see what I’m listening to?!
your UI choices make impede some useful functionality. Let users choose what nav information they need, where on the screen it is and how large it is. Maybe I need a larger speedo and bigger…

Don’t close history while driving
Don’t close history while driving. You tell us not to type and drive but force us to by repeatedly closing the history menu while driving. I car scroll down to pick a location I was at recently, so I have to type it in again while driving.

Move the Incident Timeline to the Main Navigation Screen + Live Position Indicator
Place the full incident timeline directly on the main navigation screen and add a live vehicle marker showing the user’s exact position on the time-based route bar. This lets drivers instantly understand where they are within the timeline, what hazards are coming next, and how far they are from each report — all without leaving the main map.

Starting point
why can't I just press 'your location' after choosing a destination and change where the starting point is, I know if I press leave later I can change the starting point but why not from that point as well?

התראה על מפגעים
אני מדווח די הרבה על סכנות ומפגעים במסלול בו אני נוסע. אבל כאשר אני מקבל התראה על מפגע או משטרה או מצלמת מהירות ההודעה נשארת לאורך זמן עד שאני עובר את מיקום ההתראה וזה בסדר גמור רק מה כאשר ההתראה מוצגת אין אפשרות לדווח באותו זמן על מפגעים כי מהממשק נעלם "המשולש" עם + בתוכו שלחיצה עליו מאפשרת לך לדווח על מפגע וסוג המפגע לא מוצגת על המסך

Amélioration du paramètre “Éviter les péages”
Bonjour,
Je souhaite vous soumettre une problématique que je rencontre régulièrement lors de l’utilisation de Waze, notamment à proximité des sections à péage.
Waze me redirige presque systématiquement vers une portion à péage pour gagner 1 ou 2 minutes, alors que ce gain de temps n’est pas toujours utile ni souhaité.
Lors de la programmation du trajet, il est possible de choisir un itinéraire sans péage ou un itinéraire plus touristique lorsque l’on a le temps, ce qui est très appréciable.
La reconfiguration du trajet en temps réel en fonction du trafic est une fonctionnalité formidable, voir géniale, qu’il est…1 vote -
Subject: Restore Red Color for Speed and Red Light Camera Alert Banners
Message:
I am writing to provide feedback on the recent UI change regarding the pop-up alert banners for speed cameras and red light cameras.
In previous versions, these alerts appeared in a bright red banner, which was immediately noticeable. In the current update, the banner has changed to a dark gray/black color. While this might look "modern," it creates a significant visibility issue, especially when driving in Dark Mode or at night.
The dark banner blends into the background of the app, making it difficult to distinguish an important safety warning from other map elements at a glance. For driver…1 vote -
When using Google IME (Chinese) to input location in search bar, there's certain chance the input may completely ignore and app hang up.
Since the update around past Dec, insert chinese words via Google IME may lead to App hang up.

Southpaw mode for UI layout
Have a toggle to mirror the layout of buttons on the screen in CarPlay. My vehicle has a wide display which puts the hazard button far away. In fact the buttons I use the most are the furthest from me. Having a way to flip or even pick where UI elements sit would be great.
