Offer a satellite view of the map.
I like how Google maps gives me the satellite view. Why doesn't Waze do that?
Thank you for this idea!
We will not be adding a satellite layer to the client. Waze is trying to provide the best driving experience which is smooth and simple and provide drivers with the right amount of information needed to get to places. While satellite layer is great to have for exploration and panning “offline”, we don’t think it’s going to benefit drivers on the go that much and therefore we’re not going to move in that direction in the foreseeable future.

I've just been introduced to Waze by my sister after being away together for the weekend. Used it to drive home (5hrs) but reverted to Google about half way home as I could not get it to show a satellite view. Stumbled across this forum when trying to adjust.
I like the rest of the features but will be deleting the App until this is resolved. Not having this option is a real step back from Google. -

Google will not allow Waze to use their satellite images as it's the only added value of Maps

Satellite view is absolutely valuable to drivers! It allows drivers to see buildings and monuments in relation to where they are. It's the reason I left Waze for Google Maps.

That is why Apple Maps is better then Waze cause you you can see the surroundings of where you are driving to and that is why you will always be second best and Mabey start listening to your user more that know how to make your maps better

2024 you have a better product than Google other than the satellite view. I would use waze more if it has satellite view.

It doesn't have to be the default. Just make it an option for those who want it.

Est-ce qu'il est possible un jour d'avoir le choix avec une carte avec vue satellite dans l'utilisation de Waze ?

I use satellite view a lot to understand my orientation when getting out of parking lots. It's hard to determine where the building is on Waze maps as the GPS arrow isn't always reliable and street names are usually not visible from the parking areas.

This has been all over the internet for years with users begging for this feature.
To say that you're providing what the drivers want and need when they're telling you differently is what causes you to lose customers.
But then what does Google care, they have their own map. No point updating this one.

That's great that you can figure out what the users want and need when 1,000s have been requesting this all over the internet for years.
Obviously, it's what users want and need!!!

Add satellite layer.
Put me in total control of the Waze app like I am with Google maps and you will have my loyalty and everyone else's of course that's probably not what you're striving for. Treat me like the customer is always right say what you want behind my back don't let me hear it and you'll have my loyalty. The way you communicate with people that have submitted ideas I've read some you're talking down your nose to these people they're your customers people don't expect to be liked but they do expect to be respected watch how you talk to people on here who are using your app everyone is listening if you fail it'll be because of your big ******* mouth. Oh yeah another thing you don't wave a carrot in front of someone's face and then tell him they can't take a bite and that's exactly what you did with your app you don't show people that there's reports out there of accidents and police and other things and you don't show people the wazers out there that are online and then not give them an option to look that information over before they get on the road when they have time to go through stuff like that it's only wise to give that option to people to allow them to have that power but only you can have the power then you keep the app and don't ask anybody else to use it shove it up your *** I'll never use ways again I'm a Google map man that's a true map for adults yours is formatted from my kids coloring book and it looks cheap and it looks stupid as **** and I'm embarrassed to use it you need your *** kicked -

It's beyond the time when there should be an option for satellite map view. There are times when you need to find your way to a spot in the countryside and you can see it on a satellite map but have no idea on the plane white maps Waze has.

Since Google Maps and Waze are the same adding the Satellite feature would be helpful. Google maps as these layer and it makes it easy to use and helps to show where you are.
