Request for Satellite Map View in Waze
Hello Waze Support Team,
I’m writing to request that Waze add an option to view the map in satellite mode. The app currently only shows the default map style, and having a satellite view would be very helpful for navigation and for recognizing locations more accurately.
Many navigation apps offer both standard and satellite map modes, and I believe this feature would greatly improve the user experience in Waze.
Thank you for considering my suggestion.
Kind regards,

Options for economical routes / shorter distance routes
It would be good if waze did something similar to google maps where it shows you the fastest routes but also shows you a more economical route that may take a bit longer but saves distance or saves fuel a bit.

Report alerts on split screen - Apple CarPlay
I'm using Waze on a daily basis for many years and recently found out, that there are differences between its usability on android auto and apple CarPlay while using Waze on split screen which is very common on modern huge car displays.
While you can report things (traffic yams, dangers, alerts, and so on) when using Waze via split screen on android auto, you can't do that on split screen mode on apple CarPlay.
Please implement this feature in apple CarPlay too!!

Alert both directions of travel for police
Maybe this isn't a new idea and has already been expressed here but I think it would be important for both directions of travel to receive an alert of police no matter which side it was reported on, because often it is sitting in the middle between both directions and other times it's a two-lane highway where the police on the other side could still get you. I believe this could also effectively eliminate the need for reporting a police on the other side and just have a single report police button.

I would appreciate an option in the Waze app to specify different vehicle types (e.g., a caravan with a height of 2.9 m). There is also no option for cycling or walking routes.
Ocenila bych v aplikaci Waze možnost zadat různé typy vozů (třeba karavan, výška 2,9.m) Chybí i možnost trasy s jízdním kolem, nebo pěšky.

Mark a location while driving for follow up for an issue
I know there's a similar idea, but no option to expand on it (maybe other users being able to expand on these suggestions would be good as well).
Basically, you mark a location, Waze gives you an option, to maybe record or voice to text a quick note so you can remember what the concern was later (maybe even say how much later), AND have some kind of indicator within the app or an email that will remind you later.2 votes -
Road closures
To have the option to post road closures in either direction. For example if heading north bound and see a road closure southbound or if stationary to be able to post road closures, instead of only having option to post about road closures depending on what the gps says what direction it thinks I’m traveling

turn by turn notification on in-car instrument cluster display
On my BMW 5 series (OS8.5) and CarPlay with iOS26, turn by turn notification/guidance that appears in instrument cluster is way too big, covering the route ahead which I need to drive. It is very difficult to see what is in front of me and in that case I need to look at the large display, which is not that safe especially when you need to turn. It would be much nicer to have this window moved underneath the car arrow instead of ETA window. ETA window in instrument cluster is not essential information and I could live without it,…

AI-Powered "Wake-Up" Alerts at Bottlenecks & Green Lights to Dissolve Traffic Faster
The Problem:
Traffic jams and traffic lights clear up slowly because of human reaction time. When a light turns green or a bottleneck clears, there is a "domino effect" delay as each driver takes a few seconds to notice and move. This significantly reduces the number of cars that manage to pass through during a green light.The Solution:
Waze can detect the exact point where a bottleneck dissolves or when a traffic light turns green based on real-time data from the leading vehicles.Once this "release point" is identified, Waze should send a subtle, prompt audio/visual alert (like a…

Multi Waypoint Route Planning
Provide multi waypoint route planning, allowing shaping points for tailoring routes, and a library to store routes.
This could be achieved online via Google Maps and synch to Waze app, perhaps under a Subscription model.
Supporting export in GPX format would be a nice value add in support of this too.2 votes -

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 13 votes -
Customizable reporting shortcuts on the main screen
Waze should allow users to add two or three customizable reporting shortcuts to the main navigation screen.
For example, reporting a stopped vehicle currently requires several taps through different menus. While doing this, drivers must look at the screen instead of the road, which can be distracting and potentially dangerous.
Most users regularly use only a few of the available reporting options. Customizable one-tap shortcuts would make it possible to report common hazards much faster and return full attention to the road immediately.

For police cameras alerts
This is very important, since it occured many times. You have to give option in police camera alerts, to choose at which distance to announce alert. Sometimes it announces very near to the police camera. Give options for example 2km, 1km, 500m etc. so drivers can choose. Also give another option to choose, in same area if settings, that will alert or not, on each specified distance (2km, 1km, 500m etc). Give another option to give continuous alert for speed cameras (instead of alerting on each of above distances), with intervals every 1second, 2 seconds......5 seconds. Also give option to…

Automatically adjust the size of the text for turn instructions for longer text to fit more on the screen
Currently if there is text in the visual instructions or towards that is really long, Waze will end up cutting off important information that could be useful in Android Auto.
My suggestion is to make this text be automatically adjusted so more can fit on the screen but can still be readable with the naked eye.
I'm not sure what is exactly the best way to go about this but currently I find it not as user friendly as it could be considering us editors try our best to get all the information out there only for like a fair…

Proactive Fuel Station Suggestion
Dear Waze Team,
I would like to suggest adding a feature that proactively recommends nearby gas stations after the user has traveled a certain distance, which can be set by the user.
During long trips, drivers may not always keep track of their fuel level or may forget to refuel in time. This can lead to inconvenient or even risky situations, especially when traveling through areas with limited fuel station availability.
By allowing users to define a distance threshold (e.g., after driving X kilometers), Waze could automatically suggest the nearest gas stations along the route. This would give drivers more…

Allow Waze users to correct sightings of "mobile police cameras" when it fact the devices are "license plate readers".
My town has many "license plate readers" that allow police to locate stolen cars or to respond to Amber and Silver alerts. Too many people report them as "mobile police cameras". These devices are not "mobile" and they are not intended to monitor speed. They are intended to locate bad actors. In fact, Waze should not identify these plate readers because they might help bad actors escape detection.
