  1. 1000'd of people are unaware that they dont have rear running lights!

    1000's of people have no idea that there vehicles rear brake light are not actually on..because when they step on the brakes! The brake light come on,Running lights are the lights orange lights in front next to the headlights and the rear running lights are the red lights that stay on when u are driving!! The brake lights are in the same tail light fixture!! So for what ever reason people's running lights are usually a bad ground!! Maybe a bad bulb? 1 bulb could have went out so the other bulb in the other tail light fixture won't work?…

  2. 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…

  3. Tesla map is outdated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.

  4. 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

  5. Provide translation of ideas and comments on this site into the visitor's language, or at least into English.

    Provide an easy method for identifying errors and making suggestions on the Waze Map Editor site. Currently, it is difficult/impossible to do either.

  6. Bridge out

    I was driving in an area where a bridge was out and under construction. The construction was showing up but there was no way to tell it that it was closed and for the navigation to use a different route. It kept trying to send me over the bridge. I tried several different ways to get the closure to show up.

  7. Routing/Re-Routing "Aggressiveness" Setting

    Sometimes I'm ok with the "stay on the freeway, even though it may be a bit longer due to traffic". Other times, I want to take every shortcut possible to shave a few minutes off my trip. The most aggressive setting might refresh every 2-3 minutes, and suggest non-traditional routes like alleys, service roads, neighborhood cut-throughs, and even parking lots, if there is any chance it will shorten the trip. A less aggressive setting (default) would keep you on easy-to-follow routes like freeways and major roads.

  8. A professional Waze for trucks

    Lots of truck drivers would pay for a professional Waze for trucks which could be used on their phones instead of the need to buy satnavs!

  9. Route with toll charge

    As the route suggested in the first place is always the fastest route (even if it has associated costs), it would be nice to have a warning before starting the route, whenever it was a route that included toll roads. Thank you.

  10. The vehicle speed set to 0 and map display jumps on GPS blinds spots

    The Speed Problem:
    I noticed that when the car enters a cave my speed per hour gets reset back to 0 and when I leave the cave it goes back.

    Plus - The Map Display Problem:
    When I get inside the cave the map display feature of the car/arrow icon stops working:
    (the car/arrow icon would stop moving and then jump back to the end of the cave when I leave).

    I believe that the map feature and speed is working by gps to locate the vehicle location and time to calculate the speed which makes the car km/h /…

  11. Unusable in CarPlay in iOS 18 Beta 4 across multiple vehicles

    The app constantly crashes during routine guidance, is unresponsive to taps, runs slowly, is jerky, doesn’t keep up with the current location, doesn’t display speed, and routinely stops displaying a map. I have tried multiple vehicles with the same results. It has been bad across all iOS 18 builds but is especially bad on beta 4.

  12. Option to disable construction alerts; they are distracting

    Several people have posted this. It is not being responded to. PLEASE listen to us! When driving, a construction alert pops up. There is NO option in settings to turn off construction alerts (only to hide from map). The alert is persistent until I pass the zone, which means ETA is not visible. The alert cannot be cleared until I pass the zone. It's a horrible experience, and the only way to clear it is to say "Not there" which is not true. Please listen to the users begging for this. Every other setting has the option to turn off…

  13. Offer routes that avoid speed bumps

    My very low ride height requires me to avoid speed bumps on roads. I need an app that will navigate me in routes that avoid these. Can Waze incorporate such an idea?

  15. Remain in last searched location

    Sometimes when I search for a location, I might want to adjust the spot of destination, but once I click X (cancel) it will jump back to my current location straight away, that's very annoying. Can it stay at where the last searched location and pop a btn instead for return to current location...

  19. Add more than one stop

    Being unable to add only one stop makes Waze secondary to Maps and renders it obsolete. The way it is designed makes it a fun app, not an applicable tool. I will be removing Waze from my Honda’s CarPlay and try to figure out how to use Maps. I find it essential to have ALL stops included in my trips; I don’t have the time during a “trip” to get out my phone to keep renavigating.

  20. Safety Warning

    I’d like to address a serious safety concern regarding Angeles Crest Highway. This road is extremely dangerous due to its sharp turns, narrow lanes, and proximity to sheer mountain edges. Drivers are often faced with oncoming traffic and either the edge of the mountain or the rocky mountainside. It is, without a doubt, the most terrifying road I’ve ever traveled.

    Adding to the danger, there are no streetlights or cellphone reception. While it may appear as a shorter route compared to congested freeways, it is not safe and should include a clear warning when suggested as a route on Waze.
