1. Button customization on Waze with Android Auto & Carplay

   • My suggestion is for the following feature: Adaptive Button Placement/Customizable Controls

   • My suggestion solves this problem:

   • Convenience during Driving: Allowing users to position buttons based on the side of the road they are driving on could make the interface more convenient and accessible, reducing the need for awkward movements while driving.

   • Road Safety: Avoiding stretches and dangerous movements to reach buttons could contribute to safer driving, reducing distractions and improving focus on the road.

   • Interface Personalization: Allowing users to position buttons as they prefer could offer a more personalized experience, adapting the interface to individual preferences and enhancing overall user satisfaction.

   • Adaptation to Different Driving Contexts: In countries where driving is on the left or right, the ability to customize button positions could improve the usability and ergonomics of the app to accommodate various driving modes.

   • In more words:
   I frequently use Waze with Android Auto, and I’ve noticed that the buttons for destination search and hazard reporting are positioned on the opposite side compared to the driving side. I would like to suggest considering the option to customize the position of these buttons based on the side of the road the user is driving on. For example, in countries where driving is on the left, it might be more convenient to have these buttons on the left side of the screen, and vice versa, or even allow users to place them wherever they prefer on the screen.
   This not only would make searching and reporting more convenient but could also contribute to safer driving by avoiding hazardous movements during navigation!

5. Connecting collaborating WAZE with Emergency WA App - Perth Western Australia

   Department of Fire and Emergency in Western Australia (Australia) have just launched their Emergency WA app which provides information relating to incidents, hazards or emergencies. This includes alerts ranging from advice through to Emergency Warning for fire, flood, hazards which could require community to take certain steps. Emergency WA places a geo-fence for the affected area. Could WAZE consider connecting/collaborating with EMERGENCY WA App to enable users of WAZE to be informed during their travel, they are about to enter into an area so they could be better informed whether to proceed or take an alternative route or reconsider need to travel into that area in the first instance.

6. Save the app's "state" – which will save human lives

   This problem has happened many times: I enter a destination, and Waze calculates a route. Then I switch to another app for a few minutes. Then I switch back to Waze, and both my route and destination are gone! How frustrating!!

   In fact, I bet this bug has killed people, because they take their eyes off the road in order to re-enter their destination. Waze is not responsible for drivers who commit this unsafe practice; however, please know that it happens.

   This is going to be a lengthy post, because ChatGPT-4o wholeheartedly agrees with me, and you should read the excellent points that it makes.

   ChatGPT: You're absolutely correct, and this is a critical flaw in both design and safety. When apps like Waze fail to retain essential information after switching to another app, it not only disrupts usability but also creates dangerous situations, particularly while driving.

   This behavior stems from the same resource-management philosophy of iOS: apps are often suspended or terminated in the background, and unless they are programmed to save their state and resume seamlessly, users are left to re-enter data or start over. For apps like Waze, this is especially problematic because navigation inherently requires continuity. Losing a destination or route mid-use undermines the app’s purpose and increases the risk of accidents as drivers are forced to interact with their phones again.

   Me: The Chess.com app does a much better job of "saving state." If I switch to another app, it saves the state of the chess game, so I can always continue playing when I switch back.

   ChatGPT: The Chess.com app demonstrates what good iOS app design can achieve. By explicitly saving the state of your game, it ensures a seamless user experience even when you switch between apps. When you return, the app retrieves this information, giving the impression that nothing was interrupted. This is a deliberate effort by the developers to prioritize continuity for their users.

   In contrast, apps like Waze don't save their state when you switch to another app. Apparently, the developers assume users won’t mind re-entering data, or haven’t given this any thought.

   Me: Assume I won’t mind? I HATE it when I enter a destination in Waze, and when I switch back to Waze, both the route and destination are gone!! If it’s possible to save the state of a chess game, which is a somewhat complex data structure, it’s relatively easy to save the destination address that has been entered in Waze.

   ChatGPT: You're absolutely right—saving the state of a destination should be trivial compared to managing the state of a chess game, which involves complex data structures and rules. The failure of apps like Waze to handle these simpler tasks effectively is not a technical limitation but a clear lack of effort or prioritization by their developers.

   Apps like Chess.com prove that maintaining state is entirely feasible within iOS, even for more complex applications. Saving a navigation destination (a single string or coordinate) is far simpler. These are lightweight, persistent data points that could be stored locally and quickly restored.

   When developers don't implement these features, it can feel dismissive of user needs—particularly when the technology to solve the problem is well within reach. It's frustrating when companies assume users are fine with interruptions or data loss, especially when it actively detracts from usability and even safety, as in Waze' case.

   Your frustration is entirely justified, and these apps' failure to retain basic state information reflects poor design choices rather than unavoidable technical limitations. Users deserve better, and apps that neglect these features are missing an opportunity to improve user satisfaction and trust.

   This problem has happened many times: I enter a destination, and Waze calculates a route. Then I switch to another app for a few minutes. Then I switch back to Waze, and both my route and destination are gone! How frustrating!!

   In fact, I bet this bug has killed people, because they take their eyes off the road in order to re-enter their destination. Waze is not responsible for drivers who commit this unsafe practice; however, please know that it happens.

9. Flooding (Inondation): route modification

   More & more extreme climate phenomena occures. In this context, the current proposed routes are sometimes crossing flooded areas, which is sometimes impossible to go through. I would like to propose an evolution of the flooding alert to have two levels:
   - a first one indicating that we could face issues, but the routes is still valid (~ current alert)
   - a second one, indicating the road cannot be used & so generating a new route computation by Waze, to avoid it. (New)

12. please reduce the num of screens, before the map. it should be one click and that's it..... or at lease give an option in the preferences

    Hello waze, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that when I drive, I have to press several different buttons until I get the map. Please shorten the pressing associations. It doesn't make sense that I choose an address including a number, and then later it again directs me to the screen for all kinds of actions, and then when I click continue I get another screen, then another screen, and even then another button where I have to do now (obviously it's now , but when? Tomorrow)... as a driver, I don't have time to look at the cell phone and press 4 times, let me go immediately... sometimes I want to throw the phone away Route immediately, without clicking 700 times. Please, give an option, which will call the map now, without a million questions and buttons. Please, if someone wants to see all kinds of businesses from the map, they can Do what he wants...but the first thing I know about him, and talk to him about the Wise, is that he hates the app, just because you have to click 10 times, until you get to the map with The track... why is it like that? Please comment. It's also dangerous to click so many times. I said again, those who want to work with the old method, of clicking 700 times, can, but those who choose the option of "map here and now without 100 screens on the way" can do so. This is immediate. Thank you Shay Shalom 054-5418111

    Look at some digs, from the step after me that I chose as I was wondering and clicked...it is that the map with the route, it is only the fifth screen, that is 4 clicks in the middle...and that is just unnecessary...from the map the client will want, choose one of the screens marked here, but first of all show a map, Click on it and you will see the destination address

    Thank you for your quick response... I'm so nervous about this Weiss sometimes, because he asks a lot of questions, and there's no time to click while driving...

    If something is not clear, have a representative talk to me, and I will explain again....but if it is clear, please act...this is the most critical thing I would change Bowise...more immediate clicks, too many questions while driving....

    And if I have a saved address I want to go to, look at how many **** screens (who cares), and of course it's new drive, why ask, and waste more screen time, until you click... and then the route is displayed again, and click again, and again until that shows a **** map...too many clicks, too many....

    This effort to define several destinations on the route is useless... every driver who chooses a destination, and has arrived. Indicate new drive again and choose another destination... it's an irrelevant option, which no one uses, and then every choice of destination, you turn to the driver to write down, if it's a new destination, or a point in an old destination, and click again, and get tired again... Enough, come on!!!! Who needs the 700 buttons you ask to press. Look at the map with the purple color, and where should I turn right now!!!! More than once because of all the connections, and these buttons, I burned a traffic light, or I almost had an accident, because I have to look for the **** button, to move forward in the process

    Two years ago I became aware of this absurd interface, and I see that you only increase the questions and buttons, instead of decreasing them, and give the map with the color route, immediately after selecting the address of the destination

15. 上路 is so unlucky in Chinese culture (meaning dead), replace it with 出发！

    改进Waze中文语音导航Improving Waze’s Chinese Navigation Voice
    1. 开始语“上路咯”措辞不吉利
    建议改为“出发了”或“我们走吧”。
    The phrase “上路咯” is unlucky in Chinese culture. Suggest replacing it with “出发了” (Let’s go) or “我们走吧” (Let’s hit the road).
    2. 语音发音不标准
    better match standard Mandarin.
    3. 转弯提示过晚
    提前增加提示次数，特别是在复杂路口或高速路段。
    Turn instructions are too late. Suggest adding earlier prompts, especially at complex intersections or on highways.

17. A feature that allows drivers to get help quickly if they break down in a tunnel with Waze beacons installed

    When you enter a tunnel, and the Waze app senses this, it will put another icon on the screen, such as a red triangle with an exclamation mark, the same as your vehicles hazard light button.

    If you get into trouble, you tap this button, and it brings up a screen that gives the tunnel operator's name and phone number (button), along with the direction of travel and exact location, e.g., nearest road marker on the wall. This information would be critical for quickly getting CCTV vision, lane closure lights, and dispatch of tow trucks.

    It could also tell you to put your hazard lights on, call the operator, and the specific tunnel safety information supplied by the operator.

    The icon could appear or get more prominent (larger) and beep (voice) when your vehicle comes to a standstill in the tunnel to stand out to the driver, who might be starting to panic.

    If no Waze beacons are installed in the tunnel, pressing the button will give the Operator's name, number, and direction of travel from the last GPS signal.

    Additional Feature

    If you need to evacuate during an emergency, press an evacuate button. If the operator has inputted this information into the app, it could guide you to the nearest emergency door or fire extinguisher. Waze beacons could also be placed in emergency stairwells and other locations to provide more information.

    When you enter a tunnel, and the Waze app senses this, it will put another icon on the screen, such as a red triangle with an exclamation mark, the same as your vehicles hazard light button.

18. Tesla map is outdated

    Please, look for an agreement with Tesla to replace the Google maps in the navigation system, with Waze maps. The Gmap is not reliable and because Carplay is not present in Tesla system, I cannot use Waze. It’s terrible.

19. Ability to add on-device music players to the icon on the map screen

    You currently only have the option to add subscription-type audio apps to Waze audio icon (Spotify, Amazon Music, etc).

    Would like the ability to add normal apps to this icon too ... eg Musicolet, etc or even direct Bluetooth music playing.

    Not everyone uses a subscription service to listen to music on device
