BRING BACK THE SEARCH FUNCTION!!!
It used to be that if you said "navigate to Walmart" in Android Auto it would show a list of nearby walmarts and you could chose the correct one. Now it just routes you to some random one that is often not even close to the one you intended. It routed me to a Top Golf 8h away once when the one I was trying to get to was 10min. Its like they are trying to get people off the app deleting critical functions.

Issues with new search UI
Recently the Waze Android app was updating with a new interface for search results. It's much worse than the previous UI.
Tonight I have been seeing results for places in New Jersey at the top of my list (I was in DC and VA), with more relevant results either further down the list or missing entirely. The results don't have the estimated time off route when searching while in process of following directions to a previously selected destination -- that was a really helpful feature. I also think it is unhelpful that the results only take up the bottom half…

Show search results on map
Waze search results are objectively inferior both in app and on android auto/carplay as compared to other popular navigation apps such as gmaps or apple maps.
Both of those apps display search results on a map view, with A, B, C etc pins with a selectable list on the side, and this works in app and on the in car head unit display. Google Maps also has a MUCH cleaner "add a stop" workflow.
This is a critical and basic feature gap that makes competing map applications much easier to use for searching6 votes -
Revolutionary project for Waze: accurate and updated geolocation for the island of Reunion
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to you today to propose a revolutionary project for the Waze application.
I am a resident of the island of Reunion, and I am passionate about this island. I regularly travel the island, and I am able to list all the companies in the entire territory.
I would like to offer my geolocation services for accurate and non-erroneous addresses, as well as photos (if necessary) and regular updates.
I am aware that Waze already offers a geolocation service, but I notice that some parameters could be improved.
I am convinced that this revolutionary…

Gas search results too far from current location
When I am on a long trip and search for gas stations the nearest results seem to be too far from my current location (30 mi or more). I have to switch to Google maps do a separate search for gas near me and then go back to Waze, which is a big hassle while driving.

It would be so much easier to delete recent searches , if you put a Trash Can next to each Search.
It would be so much easier to Delete “ Searches “ by placing a “ Trash Can “ on the same line.

Add a “RETURN TO START POINT” option that will guide users back to the point in which they started.
Add a “RETURN TO START POINT” option that will guide users back to the point in which they started.
I dropped a friend off at work during my first visit to Detroit, so I could use her car for the day. I used Waze to navigate away from her job, but her phone doesn’t work in
the office and I have no way of contacting her to get the address to her job. It would be great to just go into Waze and select “RETURN TO START POINT” and have Waze navigate me back seamlessly! This would be a Fanta…1 vote -

enable search whilst driving
Hi
Waze no longer enables you to effectively and safely search for a location. So let's imagine I want to go to Audi in Mosman [Australia]...
- I use Vocie command. BUT it is not repeated back to you or you cannot see where it has selected. In this instance it navigates me to Aldi not Audi...****
Just try "Take me to the moon" and it will start to navigate but who knows where to.
So let's go old school and type it in...
- You are not allowed whilst driving, even if it is the passenger entering the info.

Smarter Searches Needed
The algorithm for finding things with searches needs to be improved dramatically. Currently, when searching, for something like a restaurant, a rest area, or any other category. The search results include destinations that are thousands of miles away, instead of showing the nearby ones at the top of the list And sorting from shortest distance to longest.
Please consider having search parameters improved in such a way that destinations from searches or search results reflect what is closest in on or near the existing route if one is in play.
For instance, if I search for a restaurant I do…

Full, exact, and non-ambiguous addresses should only return the one matching search result, or skip the results screen
Why show so many extra mismatched search results when you enter a full exact non-ambiguous address? For example, if I enter the address
"12301 W Sunrise Blvd, Plantation, FL 33323"
I get the following results:
12301 W Sunrise Blvd <--- this is the only correct match
Plantation, FLSunrise Blvd
Plantation, FLPlantation Baptist Church
11700 NW 28th ct, SunriseSunrise Collision Inc.
1384 NW 65th Ave. Plantation12301 W Sunrise Blvd
Sunrise, FLWhy show anything other than the 1st result? The other results aren't matches at all! That only makes you question what you entered, and then angers…

Remove/Hide search results tab
I feel search results tab is unnecessary, doing a search mostly display results from places and google anyways plus when I enter a specific address, it gives me more options that complicates what I am looking for. Example is when I grab a location from my contacts, I gives me more address to choose which are unrelated to my search, places and google tabs shows 1 correct address. Or maybe give us an option to hide the search results tab.

Destination not shown after a voice search
Hi team. Thank for mantain Waze. In previously versions, after a voice search for a destination site, waze shows me a list of possible results or a unique destination if it was accurate. The destination address appears in the map. In latest versions, if waze found a unique result i cant see it to validate if it is tbe result i am waiting for.

Enhance the Search Experience: Visualize Nearby Places on Map
Overview:
Improve the search experience by providing users with a visual representation of nearby places on the map. Currently, when searching for a specific place like McDonald's, the app displays a list of locations with their distances. However, it would be helpful to have the option to view these locations directly on the map, allowing users to assess their proximity to specific streets or areas.
Benefits:
Enhanced Decision-Making: Visualizing nearby places on the map provides users with a better understanding of their geographic distribution and allows them to evaluate which location is most convenient based on its proximity to streets…2 votes
