Waze distress signal
As a Wazer, wouldn't be great to be able to send out a distress signal. Tyre change, out of gas, need engine help, etc. Perhaps also car make specific help, in that case a personal setting including car make could be needed.
If another user helps you out he or she would gain some 100 p. To avoid misuse the extra points only should apply when you help a non friend Wazer.
Or turn the other way around and let users state what type of help he or she could provide. No need to get flagged for help if you…

reports of "Missing bridge overpass"
As I am editing maps I see a lot of user reports of "Missing bridge overpass".
Usually, there is nothing I can do about the report because I don't see any sign of a Missing bridge overpass anywhere nearby.
Sometimes I can tell that the road has an intersection that should be an overpass with no intersection and I can fix that.I suggest that there are three major categories of things needing to be reported:
1) immediate traffic problems due to movable objects.
a) traffic problems
b) hazards
2) long term problems due to changes in permissible traffic

Road hazards
Have the option to dismiss users postings. Say if a disabled car is no longer there. Or if a cop isnt there or theres no longer traffic issues jams ect. Add a buttong to be able to dismiss any and all. I know it pops up for disabled cars once in a while. But make it for all things posted. Cause i notice some people post things just to get points that are not even there.

More icons for existing report types
Currently many of the icons displayed on the map are shared across different reports, this means the driver must tap them to find out what they are (if they do not pop up automatically) eg. "Car on shoulder" and "object on road". This is frustrating when some warnings are fairly insignificant and others more serious, like my previous example. Additional icons would allow drivers to understand the reports at a glance with no extra taps required when issuing a report.

Less than 20% battery dialogue box options
On Android less than 20% battery dialogue box says "Would you like to keep waze on?" With Yes and No buttons. However, when driving it's hard to read the question and often I end up turning off Waze cause I tapped "No". Since it's hard to read the question when driving, if dialogue buttons should said "keep on" or "turn off" instead of y/n, the decision is a lot faster.

Improve finding of places/business to drive to
Currently, when searching for a business or place to drive to, it often does not find the business. Or, it shows a list of businesses with the same name but no address or city. For example, if I search for "Kaiser" it shows a bunch of Kaiser Hospital names with no address or city. And it doesn't at all show the one that is closest to me. So, I don't know which one is closer. I end up often having to use google maps and navigation to find places and get routed there. Need to allow us an easy way…

mark/find free parking spots
Maybe you can add and option in Waze to mark free parking spots, like google "Open Spot" (http://openspot.googlelabs.com/).
7 votesThis was available in the early stages of waze, but was not successful at all. In areas where parking was needed, the update was not helpful, and was misleading as it’s hard to cancel an existing report.

replace top bar with reports buttons
The top bar displays some information which is useless for navigation. Maybe it would be better to replace these with buttons for reporting issues. Make it bigger, too, so those buttons can be pressed easily.

Allow users to disable hazard warnings in roaming mode
Many (URs) user reports caused by permanent hazards in roaming mode - reporters are driving on highways and app will provide warnings about RR crossings, speed bumps and other hazard alerts located on the side roads.
It will be nice to allow users to disable warnings in roaming mode.Or maybe waze developers can modify/improve “algorithm” to detect speed, road type, etc before providing hazard alerts on side roads in roaming mode?

Waze HUD Navigation Missing on BMW OS8 (Apple CarPlay)
Category: Bug Report / Feature Integration
Platform: Apple CarPlay
Vehicle / System: BMW with Operating System 8 (OS8)
Description
When using Waze via Apple CarPlay, navigation instructions and turn-by-turn prompts are not displayed in the vehicle's Head-Up Display (HUD) under BMW OS8.
Important Context: The vehicle's CarPlay HUD interface is fully functional. When using Apple Maps, all turn-by-turn arrows and lane guidance are projected onto the HUD without any issues. The problem is specific to Waze, as the app currently does not seem to output the secondary screen navigation data required for the BMW HUD.
Expected Behavior
Waze should utilize…6 votes -
Fire Truck Icon
Hello Waze Team,
I would like to suggest the addition of an official fire truck and emergency vehicle icon/mood within the Waze application.
This feature could be very useful for firefighters, rescue teams, and emergency response personnel, allowing better visual representation within the Waze community.
Beyond the visual aspect, this implementation could also strengthen engagement from emergency service users and support road safety awareness initiatives.
Suggested vehicle icons could include:
- Fire engine
- Ambulance
- Rescue vehicle
- Rapid response unit
These icons could also be released during safety campaigns, emergency preparedness events, or special community activities.
Thank you for considering this suggestion…

Animal Crossing Hazard
I tend to be on the road often and absolutely love using Waze whenever I need a GPS. As someone on the road often, I tend to notice there are many times that there are sudden animal crossings or a lost pet on the side of the road. This does tend to be on highways where many people are going very fast and are not as careful with their driving.
I recently thought of the idea- I think Waze should include a button, under the hazard category where we could press some form of “careful animal crossing” button to warn…

button cancel route stopped working
After last update while running on Android Auto, button cancel route(in left bottom corner, button with cross and remaining time) stopped working, even though I see it is pressed - UI item changes the color when pressed. Button worked fine before with the same car and the same phone. It looks like it is pressed - there is visual feedback, but nothing happens.
