Movable speedometer
Hold your finger on the speed gauge to move the speed gauge to a suitable location on your screen.
This would be very useful especially on a tablet or phones with big screens.
Hey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not right now, since we finalized our plans for 2024 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
We hope to include it in our plans for later down the line.
Thanks!

It would be awesome if the report button is replaced by the speedometer that hopefully becomes bigger as well (speed limit in particular)

Yes, this would help me too as I would like it on the other side of my display but I cannot change the LHD/RHD of the head unit.

The speed is shown on the left side with the phone. This is perfect when my phone is mounted to the right of the steering wheel.
Android Auto puts it on the far right side. That's great for the passenger to read, but the passenger isn't driving. Please put it on the left, so I can see it while driving.

bigger speedometer display and its location adjustment are very much desired

The speed graphic is often blocked by the steering wheel. Could it be mad moveable by the end user or places at the top left or right of the screen?

I need this speedometer to be bigger. And we need to be able to move it around the screen. You can customize everything else. Why can't you customize that? Thank you, Kenny

This post is 10 years old and still nothing? seriously?
whenever there is a junction on a motorway i cannot see the speedo. whenever theres a camera i cannot see the speedo as both times its hidden by the directions on the left hand side.
are there any devs even reading this?

I got a small car and I'm quite tall, so the position of the speedometer is exactly where I cannot see unless I move around. Critical importance!

It is critical to move the Speedo to the other side in the U.K.

Preconditions:
I have a car and a center screen. I'm sitting at the left of the car.Issue: for me (as a driver) it is hard to notice small icon at the right bottom and I have to even more body to look at speed limit there.
Suggestion: I expect to have option to control place of speed limit (it can be at the right where it is now or can be at the left (there is a free space between blocks) or other place you can think is possible).
The idea is to make speed limit closed to driver as it is extremely important !
Thank you. -

So it depends if you are sitting at the left or at the right.
I'd say it must be closed to driver to notice speed limit easier. -

Before I go ahead and suggest improvements, Waze is a great navigation app with excellent features. I love it! Great work, Waze team; keep it up!! 👏
I suggest introducing a feature where Waze app users can configure the location of the speedometer and speed limit information through the Waze app preferences to be positioned in one of four display corners. I have noticed reports of inconsistent placement across different platforms; some Waze apps display this information on the left, while others display it on the right. To set the context, the suggestion is based on using the Waze iOS app version 4.92, where the speedometer and speed information are in a fixed position in the lower left corner (when in landscape mode/when the mobile phone is tilted horizontally).
Before proceeding, we must always rely on the car's speedometer and the actual road signs! This suggestion is to improve the current in-app experience for Waze users who find that the speedometer and speed limit information are farther away from the steering wheel.
The lack of regulations in this field introduces an overlooked driving hazard. When the speedometer and speed limit information are located in a fixed position further away from the steering wheel, it introduces a driving hazard as the driver has to spend more time navigating the information on the Waze app navigation screen. I am confident that this is an overlooked feature because most Waze users are drivers in countries that drive on the right side of the road; thus, the steering wheel is located on the left side, which is closer to the speedometer on the Waze app navigation screen.
The problem arises when the speedometer and speed limit information are displayed on the left side of the Waze app navigation screen, while the steering wheel is located on the right side. This placement of the speedometer and speed limit information forces the driver to spend more time navigating the information. I would expect more complaints if the speedometer and speed limit information were moved to the bottom right corner and could not be changed.Please, Waze team, let us make driving safer by introducing this overlooked yet crucial feature to improve the Waze navigation app experience. Thank you!

This one truly baffles me: Waze doesn't see this as a driving hazard!?!? There must be stricter regulations around these navigation apps and devices. It should be banned if the app fails to provide a safe driving experience. Unfortunately, these feature requests aren't getting enough traction/votes because most of your user base is in countries that drive on the right side, and you are entirely overlooking your user base in countries that drive on the left, like the UK. Please don't be this company that overlooks whole countries just because of the majority of your users. The lack of ability to move the speedometer from one corner to another is a driving hazard; period, the speedometer must be closer to the steering wheel. It would be interesting to see how many crashes the lack of this feature has caused over the years. I did see some threads asking for this feature 9 years ago. This is just insane. We must do something about this. Imagine car manufacturers putting a speedometer on the passenger's side.

Yes, it is critical to have it! I have a very wide screen on my car.
I wish I could manually position the speedometer on the left side of the screen.
Please add it Waze devs.Thank you.
