Add Multitouch Support for Waze on CarPlay (iOS 26)
Starting with iOS 26, Apple officially added multitouch support for CarPlay apps (confirmed on Apple’s developer website).
However, Waze still doesn’t support multitouch gestures such as pinch-to-zoom — which makes map navigation less intuitive and even unsafe while driving.Currently, zooming in or out requires multiple taps, forcing drivers to take their eyes off the road.
This is not only inconvenient but also reduces overall safety.It’s especially surprising because:
On Android Auto, Google Maps already supports multitouch, and it works great — smooth, natural, and safe.
Even in the Waze mobile app (without CarPlay), when the phone is mounted…

Report temporary traffic lights using MapMate should generate a roadworks hazard not a UR
In the UK, when we have roadworks with an incursion onto the carriageway, they are often accompanied by temporary multi-way traffic lights. This allows the road to remain open, while controlling traffic flow over a narrow than normal bit of open road.
Since the introduction of MapMate reporting, we have noticed an increase in MapMate URs coming in referring to the presence of temporary traffic lights. This should not generate a UR, and should generate a "roadworks" hazard report.
I have raised this on the Waze Discuss MapMate thread, but it has been suggested that this feature is not on…

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.

Make improving Routes easier
It's way too difficult to suggest better routes than the ones you give us. There should occasionally be a pop up survey of how the route was and if it needed improvement the box to write the " correct " route should be immediately available to complete. It's free consulting. Take advantage of it!

Feature Suggestion: Truck & Travel Trailer Routing Mode.
Hi Waze team! It would be incredibly helpful to add a dedicated routing option for trucks towing travel trailers. This feature could generate safe routes that account for:
- 🚫 Avoiding sharp or narrow right turns
- 🚧 Identifying height restrictions and bridge clearances
- 🛑 Bypassing roads with trailer or truck limitations
This would go a long way in improving safety and convenience for recreational drivers and towing vehicles. Thanks for considering!18 votes -
התראה על רמזור שעומד להתחלף
כאשר נהג נמצא במרחק סביר מהרמזור, והרמזור ירוק ולא ניתן לדעת אם הוא עומד להתחלף אז שתהיה התראה שעל הנהג להאט כי הרמזור מתחלף לאדום וכך להציל חיי אדם, למנוע תאונות, ולהפחית עברות תנועה.

Pedestrian / Person on road" to Hazard Reports (On Shoulder)
Currently, there is no specific option to report pedestrians or people walking along the side of the road. When driving on narrow suburban or rural roads that lack sidewalks, encountering people on the shoulder represents a major safety hazard.
Many users currently use the "Animal" or "Object" report as a workaround, but this is neither accurate nor clear for oncoming drivers.
Proposed Solution:
Please add a dedicated "Pedestrian" or "Person on shoulder" sub-option under the Hazard -> On shoulder reporting menu.Why this is useful:
Safety first: It would instantly alert drivers to slow down and pay extra attention, which…

Smart Routing for Buses and Trucks - A Must-Have Feature for Waze
Hello Waze Team,
I would like to suggest adding a dedicated navigation mode for buses and trucks, with routing that takes large vehicle limitations into account.
Today, Waze is excellent for private cars, traffic updates, and real-time navigation, but it can be very problematic for buses and heavy vehicles, especially in Israel and particularly in the Tel Aviv area.
Many streets are extremely narrow, have sharp turns, low clearances, weight restrictions, or are simply not suitable for large vehicles. As someone who works in tourism and frequently travels with tourist buses, I have personally experienced situations where Waze directed our…

Add a setting for text size on map
On the 5 inch wireless bluetooth display on my bike, I can't read street names because they are just too small. If there was a text size adjustment that would help immensely.

Distance Reticle
It would be very helpful on the Waze app to have the option when scrolling away from your current position to have a marked reticle Displayed in the center of the screen and an arrow pointed toward your location with two numbers by the reticle. One for distance as the crow flies and another noting the driving distance to that reticle location. Thanks.

Add a new alerts feature for usual police radaring spot
Add a program that would collect all the data from reports of where police are and use the information to display “usual police radiating spots” or something like that. Whenever I pass a police car on the road they are always in the same couple spots everyday and everyday I report them being there through Waze. It would be nice if through Waze when I’m a mile away from that usual hangout spot for police if it would notify me “Usual police radar spot” that would be helpful.

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…

Altitude
It would be very useful to add altitude information to the navigation display, similar to how speed and estimated arrival time are currently shown.
This feature could help drivers traveling through mountainous areas, scenic routes, and rural roads, as well as users who enjoy tracking geographic data in real time.
The altitude display could be optional in the app settings, allowing users to customize the interface according to their preferences.
Thank you for the excellent app and for the continuous improvements!

Request to Create an Official Georgian (Georgia) Waze Community
Hello Waze Team and Community,
I would like to kindly request the creation of an official Georgian (Georgia) Waze community and forum section.
Currently, there is no dedicated Georgian Waze community or local forum. As a result, Georgia does not have active local editors who can regularly review, approve, or manage map edits. This causes many map issues, delayed updates, and incorrect information to remain unresolved for a long time.
There are editors who edit the region partially or irregularly, but there is no active local Georgian editor who can coordinate improvements, support new editors, or maintain map quality consistently.

searching for gas stations, restaurants, or parking lots along my active route
Hi Waze Team, I’d like to propose a feature: when searching for gas stations, restaurants, or parking lots along my active route, Waze should first display the ones that are directly on my route and on the same side of the road I'm driving on, leaving the ones off-route for the end of the list. It would be much more practical. The goal is to prioritize places that don't require making detours or U-turns, showing businesses located right on the shoulder/side of the road first, and placing options that involve crossing the avenue or detouring at the bottom of the…

Historial de busquedas no actualiza coordenadas corregidas
Cuando se corrige la ubicación de una numeración o de un lugar público en el editor de Waze, la aplicación no refleja las nuevas coordenadas en los resultados del historial de búsquedas.
Al seleccionar un resultado desde el historial (icono de reloj), Waze continúa dirigiendo al punto anterior en lugar de al actualizado, lo que genera inconsistencias y dificulta la navegación precisa.2 votes -

Option to display MILE MARKERS on interstates.
Please add an option to display mile markers on the map when traveling interstates. Some locations like rest areas are already defined by mile markers within Waze, and the data is already available on the back end so it shouldn’t be difficult to implement. It could be optional and off by default. But it absolutely helps road safety by being able to accurately report emergencies by way of mile marker designations on open stretches of interstate. Also very useful to professional drivers.
