  3. Popup

    Hazards and speed camera pop-ups are blocking/obscuring the lane guidance in Android Auto. Please redesign and make it smaller or move it somewhere else. It's dangerous as drivers have to keep dismissing and closing the dialogue pop-up

  4. navigation disappearing android auto

    There's a known bug of this and I was directed here by support.

    I have found a work around to get Waze navigation to work on the vehicle display through Android Auto.

    These steps, in this order, will allow Waze navigation to function on the vehicle display. The steps must be performed each time the phone connects to the vehicle. So switching from wireless Android Auto to wired and vice versa will require following the steps again. All steps are performed on the vehicle display unit, not on the phone.

    1. Open Google Maps on the vehicle.
    2. Start navigation in Google…

  5. Capitalize on the Great American solar eclipse 2024

    I'm not sure if you all are already thinking about this, but I think it would be really smart to capitalize on the upcoming Great American solar eclipse on April 8th. I've noticed that Waze is good about navigating large crowds of vehicles through the available road systems when a lot of people are running the app, so I think it would be great to market and advertise to folks that they should be using the app in order to alleviate the traffic and smooth everything out. I know I will be running the app, especially on my way home!

  7. Provide an alternative route when accident in front of me

    I need the app to provide enough in advance an exit off highway with an alternative toure. It happens to me all the time that Waze gets me stuck in the constipation. ******* banana. It used to work this way. Not anymore. I am crazy.

  9. Add "HIGHWAY FIRST" to route preference

    When there are several routes available, I've noticed that Waze may calculate a route that combines both ground roads and highways. This is done to save a little time or reduce toll fees but can result in entering the highway from a distant entrance or exiting the highway too early. This approach leads to more instances of entering and exiting, as well as increased interactions with other drivers, which is unnecessary and more dangerous.

    I suggest implementing a "HIGHWAY FIRST" preference. When a highway is available, the system should calculate a route that prioritizes the use of highways, even if…

  10. Allow the user to enter a reminder of a street or a location where police regularly positioned.Waze would then remind you to be careful

    Allow the user to put in a location with a reminder /warning for themselves and maybe other users where they know where police regularly set up speed traps. The driver allows themselves to be fore warned.

  11. PLEASE FIX ASAP -> Fix the pointing arrow facing the wrong direction

    When I get in my car the arrow just flips to the opposite direction and shows that route.

    It will be better if the app can allow to calibrate so that the arrow can face in the direction I am looking at. I am keep on frequently getting this problem and this needs to be fixed. I have looked up on the suggestion box and someone has also mentioned this in 2020 and no-one has fixed this issue

    Please fix this problem. This way all drivers are able to navigate safely to their destination.

    Return the colors back to the original map editor colors. Off-road/dirt road now appears as thin gray instead of brown. This makes it difficult to use when intentionally off-roading and causes normal drivers to accidentally end up offroading.Hence all the Waze meme and jokes not to use Waze in traffic. The colors were perfectly fine before

  14. Automated Incident Emergency Detection & Location Screen Change and 3 type descriptor

    Unless it is your day job, and even then, most people faced with an emergency situation either as a victim or a witness, especially in a vehicle, will suffer immense rushes of adrenaline pumping around the body, any injuries invoke confusion as delayed shock sets in.

    Is there/ can there be any rapid single panic-proof (user option selected) - such as 5 second hold of fingers on the screen in two places simultaneously or gyroscopic sudden impact detection via phone or user holds max/min volume buttons at their max point for a duration (viz like Apple power down) - depending…

  15. Local driving instructions without highways

    Instead of always giving directions using highways, you should investigate methods using "back ways", meaning using local streets as some people don't like to go in highways. Also, when directions are given, please give FULL instructions, not just show an arrow pointed to the right or left without mentioning on what road to make that turn.

  17. Better traffic updates

    There’s needs to be a better explanation when putting a traffic update on the map. Putting that there’s a traffic jam or standstill traffic doesn’t help. Needs to have a better explanation with the traffic update in order for it to be put on the map. Why is traffic being held up?!! Is construction or an accident.

  18. Address no. on segments

    Currently, the address no. is not possible for alternative street names that are different from each other if the main name (unique on several segments) is different from these.

    Suggestion:

    Allow independent numbering of each street name, whether it's the main street name, or the various alternative street names.

    So each alternative street name could have its own address number.

    This could probably be useful for different countries, starting with France and other countries with the same editing rules.

    New York has installed permanent speed cameras on many major roads, NYS Thruway, I84, 90, ect,, as well as work zone cameras.
    How do we report them?
    I suggest two options under the police tab for permanent speed cameras and temporary work zone camera reports.
