Elevation on map screen
Add elevation to the main screen, perhaps as an option like having the speedometer.
Not sure if it is possible, but I assume it is, as my old Garmin gps could do it.

Speedometer Contrast Issue
In reference to speedometer contrast issue during daytime. Black and Red too similar for daytime glare. At night it is sufficient, perhaps have a daytime contrast theme separate from night-time.

Horse-riding
It would be great if you could mark yourself as a slow-moving hazard for other Wazers to be alerted to on their screens as they drive.
Imagine you are riding a horse on a narrow country lane. Considerate drivers slow right down when passing riders on horseback to avoid spooking the horses.
If you could declare yourself a rider on horseback, and had your phone with you then other Waze users could be alerted to your presence well before rounding the very last corner and needing to brake suddenly.
This could reduce accidents between horses and cars.

Make icons larger.
New version icons for haz and police are so small you have to zoom in to a small map grid to see them. When there is a problem wreck slow traffic police ahead you miss you last turnoff due to being zoomed in so close. Please give option to zoom out and still see critical icons

Please bring back in app notification & icon that someone is watching our drive.
A couple of app updates ago we lost the written notification and icon on the map that shows that someone is watching our drive. Any plans to bring this back? When I send a link to follow my drive to a non-Wazer, it was helpful to know someone clicked on the link, particularly when coordinating a meeting spot and time. Please consider bringing this back!

Comments on PURs
It would be nice to have a comment section on a PUR, especially for pictures. It would allow the editors to give a reason why the picture or update is being rejected. So maybe the next time they would try to take a better picture that did not include, faces, license plates, etc. I think this would help the community be more aware of what we as editors can accept. I think being able to tell them the reasons instead of just rejecting it would help more, due to the fact users my be confused or upset that their pictures…

Hidden/visible police alerts
People report police that are hiding as "visible" because technically they are visible once you are close enough but really the police are doing radar. Maybe instead of "hidden" or "visible" police it could say lights on or lights off. Also when the alert is spoken it just says "police reported ahead." it would be nice if it distinguished which type so you don't have to click the icon to see because that would be distracted driving and unsafe.

Pointer arrow options for different vehicles
Hi team! Love the app I have one suggestion for future update: with the current version we cannot change the blue car, can we get different arrow options to choose from? Maybe sports car, truck, spaceship, tractor, boat, police car, limo, Android auto arrow?

אפשרות מיזוג או אופצייה ,בין המצלמה לוויז בחלון קטן תוך כדי ניווט
מיזוג בין המצלמה לבין הניווט תוך כדי נסיעה ,הרציונל הוא להפטר ממצלמת דרך, למה לא למזג שני מוצרים לאחד . זה נורא יקל עלינו אני מאמין . אופציה לצלם את הדרך דרך תוכנת הניווט וכמוכן להקליט ובעודי מנווט כמובן.

Allow a user-selected zoom to STAY until user re-centers map
Many times I want to keep Waze at a certain zoom level for a long time, but Waze automatically resets the zoom and re-centers by itself. What's wrong with letting the user set AND KEEP a particular zoom level until canceled by the user, with or without keeping the map centered on current position. It's very annoying to have to keep readjusting Waze to show what I want to see!

you need to add a map button on the map to enable or disable freeway routing. often, a freeway will not be my best route, this would help
an onscreen button is needed to change from freeways to avoid freeways. Often, I would like to change enroute from freeway to surface roads and it takes many steps to do so. one button to change on or off onscreen would be a big help

route calculation on device instead of server
When navigating over longer routes, it takes quite some time before the route is calculated and sometimes a server timeout is the result.
can the option be added to opt for local route calculation? This would significantly reduce server load. The option to cancel an ongoing calculation is also nice with this, as well as the choice for local or server calculation.
why does this calculation happen server wise? is this to reduce the mobile data used on the client as not all traffic info is on the client, but is on the server?

Police
Police alerts are helpful in many ways, the one thing that would help a bit more is if along with the alert there should be an indication of how much time has passed since the alert was posted. This feature is already available but only if you tap on an upcoming police alert icon in which you will see for example 10min ago on the top right corner, but it does not show in the alert that pops up as you drive....... Unless it is a construction site police are rarely in one spot for very long...... I feel that…

Show address in final navigation screen when approaching.
I LOVE that Waze now accesses my Apple calendar to see my appointments & the time. SO very helpful, as Waze is my go to map app (I am an on the road sales rep). But I have to exit Waze & return to my calendar entry to see the exact street address I am looking for. The final navigation screen will have the name & phone number of the person I'm trying to visit, but not the address, the most important part. Really annoying!
