  1. Use clear, distinctive voices

    I've been using Waze for a while, but the new voice in the UK is not clear; bland and muffled compared to the old one. Turning the volume is annoying, especially since this is only a recent problem.

    Since it makes the directions indistinct, Waze is less useful than it was.
    Since it's distracting to try to understand it, continuing to use Waze has become a safety issue.

  2. HOV Lane Exit Notifications at Every HOV exit

    When using a route with an HOV Lane, Waze defaults to telling the driver to exit the HOV Lane at every HOV Lane Exit on the route, even though the HOV Lane is available on the entire route.
    The driver should only be alerted to exit the HOV Lane if it's the exit they need to take because there is no HOV off-ramp, or there is an issue in the HOV Lane ahead of them.

    The exit notifications have caused me to miss a freeway transition roads since Waze doesn't want anyone using the HOV Lanes.

  3. Grammar

    Please change the voiceover to say drive “safely” NOT drive “safe.” It’s an adverb. Or say “Have a safe drive,” used as an adjective.

  6. Exit Waze when disconnecting from Apple CarPlay

    I love Waze for longer journeys, using it with Apple CarPlay. But I don't need it for popping to the shops - i.e. most daily journeys.

    However the App starts up on my phone every time I get in the car regardless, and then continues running even after I get out. It really drains my phone battery. I have to remember to close it manually. I can't find a way to stop this behaviour - it is a real pain.

    I'm sure it wasn't always like this, but this means I have had to disable Waze on my CarPlay setup.

  7. Battery Saver always on

    Option to have battery saver always-on by default. It's a poor user experience to have to set this manually for EVERY journey for those that want to have the battery as high as practitable before exiting the car and/or save their OLED screens from burning. Not everyone uses a charger in the car. And most phones use OLED screens.

    'Automatically turn on' is there as an option, but it waits for battery to become low before kicking in, which rather defeats the object of saving battery (it's too late if it's already become low!) and meanwile you risk burning the…

  9. BUG: Using phone speaker option not working in CarPlay (latest iOS)

    Waze should play sounds through the phone speakers when connected to CarPlay and when this setting is set in the Waze options. Situation right now is, that this option get fully ignored. This is bad when the phone outputs to a different audio device e.g. through bluetooth and the CarPlay sounds are muted. You have no change to get any audio from Waze in this situation. Please fix or at least also support output to different bluetooth device while connected to CarPlay.

  10. Lucifer Morningstar as a Navigation Voice

    I’d love to suggest adding Lucifer Morningstar (from the Netflix series Lucifer) as a voice option for navigation.

    He’s charming, sarcastic, effortlessly confident, and always has something clever to say—traits that would fit perfectly into Waze’s fun, personality-filled navigation style. His voice (played by Tom Ellis) would make any drive more entertaining.

    Lucifer already has a massive fanbase, and his personality is made for this kind of feature.

    Thanks for considering—and if others agree, upvote this post!

  15. Speed Limit Alerts for Commercial Vehicles

    In the UK speed limits for public light goods (commercial) vehicles are different, so for example on national speed-limit A-roads, cars are allowed to do 60mph, but commercial vehicles like panel vans, can only do 50mph. It’s to do with the increased payloads they potentially carry.

    This differential isn’t catered for in the app, so when it’s set to alert when the speed limit is reached, a van driver in many cases is actually 10mph over which is enough of a margin to receive an endorsement in the UK.

    The speed differences for light goods vehicles are however standardised: they…

  16. Expanded voice command for Car Play

    Expand voice commands to Car Play to allow hands-free communication to notify other drivers of road incidents, police, etc. This would be a huge safety issue for the driver as well as providing faster and more accurate information for other drivers.

  17. Android Auto - Settings icon

    Hello.
    I use Android, everything is up to date. When I get in and start the car, Android Auto starts and there is a settings icon in the Waze application. While driving, this icon disappears and after stopping the car it is not visible. So when I want to set something, I have to disconnect and reconnect when the car is stationary. I understand that some settings are not allowed while driving, but they could be visible.
    Thanks for your help

  18. Record audio while reporting an issue (and convert to text?)

    When I'm using "report an issue" functionality in CarPlay/while driving, I cannot type what the issue is about. Later, when I'm asked by some community member what the issue is about, I have to recall what it was about and there were cases that I forgot. The issue categories got narrowed so we can't pick the exact issue while reporting it (I don't understand the removal of speed limit issue - the most common issue I'm reporting!).

    Since Waze has access to my microphone, I was thinking that maybe a short recording could be made after I report an issue…

  19. Being able to pinpoint the exact location of a cop, wreck or other map issue

    I think Wazer should be able to pinpoint the exact location of a cop, wreck or etc. I know that in the state that I live in, if a cop sees you on the phone, they’re going to pull you over and give you a ticket. So therefore, I can only report a cop after I have already passed them, which leads to an incorrect location of where the cop actually is.
