Ask user on which street he is if GPS accuracy insufficient to determinate it automatically
Sometimes in the beginning of driving or if you driving differently from Wase suggestion Waze can lock on wrong street, if it is two close streets inside GPS accuracy region. I think it will be good if Wase will ask on which street you are exactly if it detects that GPS accuracy is insufficient to determinate it automatically.

Use acceleration sensors to improve navigation
I think it will be good idea to use acceleration sensors to improve navigation when GPS signal is weak. For example in tunnels. Also it may help in situation when GPS accuracy is insufficient. For example to better determination of position in roundabout.

Settings:
- Turn feature ON / OFF
- Choose BT deviceBehaviour:
- When exact bluetooth device is connected, wait until some ratelimit speed is reached (i.e. 30 kmh) and start reporting.
- When bluetooth device is disconnected, automatically stop traffic reporting.8 votes -
System constantly reroutes then the server times out & deletes exsiting route
When I set a route the system constantly reroutes almost every quarter to half a mile. At least 50% if not greater I will then get a message that the server timed out. This wouldn't be so bad except that when this happens it deletes the route I'm trying to follow until it tries again and usually then the server returns a route. This makes Waze virtually unusable. Please make it that once Waze has a route that it continues displaying and following that route until it gets new information from the user or server for a new route. Even…

mapless mode
how about a screen that just displays the speed and any nearby alerts (range user selectable) for when we're just driving and don't need the GPS? This could cut down on data (and battery) usage by not fetching maps, but still let us provide data back to the system.

Add support for Eircodes (Ireland's Postal Code system)
Irish Eircode support is required in Waze. Unlilke a lot of postcode systems, Irish Eircodes are unique codes that match to an exact building/address. https://www.eircode.ie/benefits/overview
I am constantly getting issues reported by users of the below:
Search for an address by its house number, you get correctly routed to the correct road as we have added house numbers.
Search for the eircode, Waze pulls the coordinates from Google and routes to the nearest segment, so many times, this is the incorrect road, a lot of the time it routes users to roads behind the address beause I assume it's technically…

Add an ICE icon for active incidents in real time
We need an option for when we see ice activities in public. Not only does all of this hold up traffic and put us behind behind of where we’re supposed to be, but we also need somebody to step up and be the heroes. Somebody with an infrastructure already in place that allows us to coordinate and work together. You’ve shown time and time again that you’re willing to step up and do what’s right, and now we need that more than ever. Please join us on the right side of history while there’s still a chance.

Enable Speech-to-Text for Map Update Requests While Driving (via Android Auto and CarPlay)
I would like to suggest an improvement to Waze that would allow users to fill out map update requests (URs) using speech-to-text while driving, particularly when connected through Android Auto or CarPlay.
Currently, when users select a map update option (such as "Incorrect address," "Missing road," or "Speed limit") while driving, there is no way to add a description of the issue. This limits the ability to provide detailed reports and often results in incomplete information being submitted. With speech-to-text functionality, users could quickly and safely dictate descriptions of the problem without having to stop or manually type anything.

Bring back the old speedometer position (bottom left corner)
With the latest update, the speedometer on the mobile app has moved from the bottom left corner to the center of the bottom edge of the screen. This new position is distracting and interferes with map visibility, especially when checking upcoming turns or traffic info.
The previous placement in the bottom left corner was much more intuitive and out of the way. Please consider giving users the option to choose the speedometer position, or revert it back to where it was.

More UK Voices WITH STREET NAMES
Please give some more options of voices that include street names with differnt UK accents. There are so many variations of accent in the UK and having some more options that still include street names would be amazing! I used to love Kates voice but the new one is so much worse. Please create some more UK voice options!!

differentiate between police control reports that are traffic-related and those that are not
The idea is to differentiate between police control reports that are traffic-related and those that are not. Currently, the app only allows the reporting of police controls without distinguishing between these two aspects. The specific proposal is for the app to allow users to report controls that are strictly traffic-related and, separately, another option to report police controls of a general nature that are not related to traffic.

Rajouter un type de véhicule camping-car avec possibilité de rentrer les gabarits et vitesses (taille, llongueur largeur hauteur et poids),
Depuis des années que j'utilise Waze pour la voiture (après des Tomtom), je suis ravi. Néanmoins, je navigue régulièrement en camping-car et je suis obligé d'utiliser un GPS concurrent car impossible de rentrer le gabarit et Waze fait passer par routes trop étroites ou hasardeuses pour Camping car (même étant <3.5 T)... Donc est il possible de rajouter un type de véhicule Camping car, avec possibilité de rentrer les caractéristques? Merci

More fuel types to Waze
Currently Waze only allows four different fuel types for fuel stations. I believe that number is not enough. For example in Finland we currently have 95E10, 98E5, Diesel and E85 as options in Waze. In reality many fuel stations offer renewable/green diesel, natural or bio-gas and some even have AdBlue (DEF) from a pump. Currently around half of my countries fuel types can not have prices set for in Waze.
So, my suggestion is that community members should be able to add a price to any fuel type available at a given station, wich would require an increase to the…
