Marco quilométrico em Rodovias (Kilometer Marker on Highways)
Through WME, editors manually added a pin at the corresponding kilometer marker on a highway. Clicking on this pin would provide the following fields to fill in: Highway, Kilometer, Direction. Up to two highways could be added to each pin, with the "Direction" field being optional and the other two mandatory.
In the application, when driving on the highway, in addition to the highway emblem (which is already visible), the respective kilometer marker of the main highway added to the WME kilometer marker would also appear next to it. Thus, when driving on highways, we would visually know which kilometer…

A routing option which avoids locations where Flock cameras are installed
Deflock.org provides every location of installed flock cameras. I would like to see a routing option which would allow users to circumvent these cameras when possible by routing directions that avoid their locations.

Add Support for Oval Country-Code Symbols in Visual Instructions
Description:
In many European and international transit corridors, road authorities frequently use the white oval country‑code symbol (e.g., A, D, CH, H, I, SLO, HR) on direction signs, gantries, and even road surface markings. These symbols are universally recognized by drivers and originate from the international vehicle registration codes defined in the Geneva Convention on Road Traffic (1949) and the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic (1968).Because these ovals appear prominently on real-world signage—especially in countries with heavy cross‑border traffic—they are an essential visual cue for navigation. However, in Waze they are currently difficult and cumbersome to reproduce in visual…

Fire Truck Icon
Hello Waze Team,
I would like to suggest the addition of an official fire truck and emergency vehicle icon/mood within the Waze application.
This feature could be very useful for firefighters, rescue teams, and emergency response personnel, allowing better visual representation within the Waze community.
Beyond the visual aspect, this implementation could also strengthen engagement from emergency service users and support road safety awareness initiatives.
Suggested vehicle icons could include:
- Fire engine
- Ambulance
- Rescue vehicle
- Rapid response unit
These icons could also be released during safety campaigns, emergency preparedness events, or special community activities.
Thank you for considering this suggestion…

Carplay head up display directions

Support for dimensions and combinations such as caravans
I propose that Waze allows users to save multiple vehicles, each with their own dimensions, including height, width, and length. It should also be possible to add vehicle combinations, such as a car with a caravan or trailer, where the additional dimensions are automatically taken into account during route planning.
Users could then manually select the appropriate vehicle or combination before starting a trip, or Waze could automatically detect the vehicle via CarPlay or Android Auto.
It is essential that Waze takes infrastructure limitations into account—such as bridge heights, narrow roads, sharp turns, and low tunnels—so that any routes that…

Outlines for “area” place types (App/Livemap)
Currently, polygons representing “area” place types in the app and in Livemap are rendered in an overly simplified way, using a uniform fill with no visible outlines. This design choice reduces visual clarity when distinguishing between adjacent areas. In cases where one area is located inside another, the label of the inner area appears to “float” over the outer one, with no clear indication of its limits.
However, there are legitimate scenarios in which representing buildings or facilities as areas within a larger, usually enclosed area is both correct and necessary — especially in complex urban environments such as universities,…

רעיון מציל חיים לנסיעה בזמן המלחמה
בעת הזעקה או התראה במיקום שבו הרכב נמצא באותו הרגע שהאפליקציה תציע אופציה של שינוי מסלול לכיוון המרחב המוגן הקרוב ביותר אלייך או אם אין אז אופציה חלופית הכי טובה
32 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap and isn't aligned with the Home Front command. But we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Add a detailed preview for roundabouts
I saw this feature in some map app online, so when heading to a roundabout, just like what waze does, a popup will show on the top of the screen and showing a simple symbol to tell which exit we should take. What about having a detailed preview showing a birdseye view on the roundabout and showing the exact route i.e. what lane and exit show take instead of simple symbol and exit name?

Info Box and button placement: bottom / top / left / right
Currently, all info and buttons show up at the bottom of the screen.
But I placed the iPhone in the car, where I cannot see this bottom area. It would be nice if there were an option to place this info and the buttons on other parts of the screen where they are more visible (and reachable) for me.

Hazard Alert - Animal on Road
Could there please be some sort of function within Waze that could give the user the opportunity to report deceased animals along the road so that the competent entities could come and collect them? Or even for pets that were just run down for a vet to come or something? Could it be connected to automatically give the competent entities the location of the animal? It’s a win-win for everyone and it keeps our road safe. Also, for objects on the road, while I’m not sure what entity would be responsible for removing them, somehow also connect to the responsible…

Shut Down UserVoice
Yes, the title is clickbait. But that really is the end goal!
Let’s get straight to the point: UserVoice has done an excellent job of centralizing Waze community suggestions in a tool specifically designed for that purpose. However, after years of cumulative use, it has become clear that managing it has grown increasingly difficult.
And now, entering the scene: Discuss.
Discuss has opened up a whole new range of possibilities for community interaction. It is a technically modern platform, with a pleasant user experience and strong functional versatility.
There is no doubt that Discuss is capable of absorbing all…

button cancel route stopped working
After last update while running on Android Auto, button cancel route(in left bottom corner, button with cross and remaining time) stopped working, even though I see it is pressed - UI item changes the color when pressed. Button worked fine before with the same car and the same phone. It looks like it is pressed - there is visual feedback, but nothing happens.

Display shield AND road name in the app
Please consider displaying one or more shields along with a road name in the app. Ideally, we could have the option to display more than one shield, but at least one would be very helpful. Other nav apps already do this today.
Currently, we can either display a single shield on a road OR the primary road name. Many roads are known by a common name but also have one or more shields that can be very important for navigation. Some intersections have a road name sign, while others only have a shield sign. Frequently, locals may know the road…

Show Accurate Distance to Exit Inside Roundabouts
Display the actual remaining distance to the correct exit while inside the roundabout. This would help drivers better anticipate when to exit, especially in larger or multi-exit roundabouts.
When driving a roundabout, the distance to the exit is always shown as “0 m” in the current navigation display. This can be misleading, as the driver has not yet reached the exit.
Knowing how far it is to the correct exit helps reduce confusion and allows for smoother lane changes and safer navigation. Showing “0 m” before reaching the exit does not reflect the real driving experience and can lead to…

Temporary private roads <-> RTC
Concerning roadworks, city nowadays more and more define areas around the closed roads as temporary private roads to route traffic around the closed areas. Now we have no there solution but to close those roads also, but this results in many URs stating that the roads are not closed for the inhabitants or customers of the businesses located there. Would it be possible to create a sort of RTP (Realtime Private road) like the closures we have now?

Network issues
When gps or network can't be found because you parked in a car park or garage. Can the app try and find a gps connection or network connection again ever 30 seconds or a minute for when you have reception again so waze can get updates.
When waze suggests directions to a regular destination. Can the box disappear after 30 seconds or a minute. The box stays indefinately at present and it's annoying to click on each time you start the car after stopping cause waze thinks it knows where you want to go.
Thx.3 votes -
Allow multiple custom voice recordings per command (randomized playback)
Please allow users to upload or record multiple audio variants for each command, and let Waze randomly choose one during navigation.
This would make custom voices far more natural, fun, and less predictable.
Even a simple “playlist” of recordings per command would greatly improve the feature.Thank you for considering this enhancement.
