  1. The map should be able to display on the phone, even if CarPlay is active

    Please can there be the option of keeping navigation running on the phone screen, even if CarPlay is enabled. CarPlay Display Units are often down low (where car radios used to be), and looking at that as your satnav is dangerous and distracting. Keeping the map on the phone will enable safer driving and a happier Apple and Waze customer base

  4. Re-arranging the waze application display for "landscape" screens

    On a 7" car display, which is a "landscape" display, the Waze application displays the "Next turn" box, including the turn description, on about a quarter of the screen, sometimes even larger. The Result is that the on-coming road map is covered by the box, and the "turn area" shows only at the last minute. For such a "landscape" display the screen display should be re-arranged so that the important part of the on-coming map shall not be hidden until the very last minute, similar to the standard "portrait" telephone display.

  5. Single lane/double lane countdown

    For roads that switch between single lane and double lane (in the same direction) forth and back, it would be nice to have a counter indicating how long it is left to next switch.
    These kind of roads are common on the swedish country side.

  6. It would be great if the Units could switch automatically between Miles and KMs based on your location

    I travel between UK and France a lot. I would help a lot if the Units could automatically switch based on the country you are currently in. I believe this would be helpful for people who travel between US and Canada too.

  7. Tell me the lane number for an accident or debris

    For all alerts, please say WHICH LANE the debris or accident or roadkill, etc. is in. That way we will know in advance to change lanes. Number the lanes and put a little lane map on the screen so we all know which lane is which.

  8. Constant alarm when you go over the speed limit with thresholds

    Most speeding limit cameras are set to issue a ticket for going greater than 10mph over the limit. I'd like an alarm that goes off and continues to go off for as long as you are X mph over the speed limit AND where you can adjust X to whatever threshold limit you desire.
    If the threshold in your state is 10mph over the limit, I would probably make the alarm to go off and stay beeping as long as I'm greater than 8 mph over the speed limit.

    In other states such as VA and KY, a ticket can…

  9. CarPlay car audio Navigation volume test addition

    I have noticed in two cars (my 2019 Nissan and a 2019 Subaru) that with CarPlay the "Navigation" volume can only be adjusted when the Waze app is actually "saying" something.
    It is possible to stimulate a voice response (change to an alternate route and hit "go" or use the microphone to enter a nonsense command).
    The addition of a "test navigation sound" to the "sound options" menu in Waze would be a more helpful and direct method to adjust the car's entertainment system "navigation" volume. Waze could just babble about something and show a tool tip "adjust car audio…

    Google maps will show you routes with a similar ETA right on the map. It would be great if Waze showed this too.

  13. improve voice recognition

    I assumed that Waze was using similar voice recognition engine to Google. But I have the worst time getting Waze to recognize my voice. It's not me nor my phone. I can say to Waze "Ok Waze report police ahead" and nine times out of ten it'll say "sorry I didn't recognize that". If I hit the home button (to bring up home screen and have Google Assistant take over) I can say Ok Google take a note report police ahead" and it'll correctly create a note "report police ahead"

    I assume that Waze's voice recognition would be better than…

  14. spoken voice warning for hazards

    SAFETY!
    Every time there is a hazard reported you need to look on the screen to identify what it is.
    Please add spoken voice warning so drivers do not need to take their eyes off the road when the warning comes in - sometimes the hazard is moving or flagged too late on the road and you could already "bump" into it...

  16. Ads in Complex Intersections

    Stop showing ads as I come into an intersection and NEED to see what turn is after the intersection. Same thing with the carpool ad. After I tell you 100 times I can't carpool, stop blocking my turns with useless ads that only annoy.

    Thank you.

  18. Alternative Route Calculation Appears to Disregard Options without Freeways

    The Alternative Route Calculation Appears to Disregard Options without Freeways with avoid freeways turned off.

    Hi, I’ve noticed on several occasions that when I look at “other routes” with “avoid freeways” turned off, the app will suggest only routes that use freeways, even though some of these have longer time estimates and longer distances than some options that appear with “avoid freeways” turned on.

    For example when navigating from Detroit to Royal Oak (with avoid freeways off) I am given three options involving highways, one 23 minutes and the other two 28 minutes. With avoid freeways turned on, I am…

  20. Bigger buttons for CarPlay

    Car Play - instead of tiny buttons and lines for the report an issue, bigger touch targets would be good. Instead of a scrolling list, a grid with taller, more square touch targets would be good
