Ability to increase font size.
Those of us who see distance fine but need reading glasses could use the abolity to increase street name and POI size. It's one if the reasons why I don't use Waze as often as I'd like to.
Many thanks
Thanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

I love Waze but I can't read the street names without reading glasses. Please give us a way to configure the font size.

Guys, come on! Please make font sizes configurable!
I am on the verge of the exactly opposite problem:
Having Waze installed in car Head units of 2 different carsThe resolution of those tablets is small related to new phones,
on newer tablet (the MM system of Honda Jazz 2018 purchased just 2 weeks ago), the resolution is 480x1024When navigation is opened, only ~50% of the screen height is available for the map
Android status bar already takes ~10% of the screen
The navigation directions take ~ 20% of the screen,
The status bar takes another 20This causes the map to be so small, that when driving in the city, I can't even see the next turn 100m ahead

My eyesight is not poor. The black background with blue type for the street onto which to turn is very problematical. In some lighting conditions -- all too frequent - I can't read it. Since, very unfortunately, the voice commands do not identity the street onto which you need to turn, it is very easy to miss your turn when several options for turns are close together. It would be great if Waze said, "in .1 mile turn right onto Eddy Street" instead of "in .1 mile turn right." Since Waze doesn't, it is very important to be able to read the Eddy Street, in my example, which is in sometimes impossible to read blue type on black background. This is a very big deal.

I need to encrease the font size on the waze map. It's too small.

I agree, separating them on the screen (far left, far right) so that one is not accidentally selected instead of the other would be most beneficial to the whole Waze community.

Please hire some developers older than 40 and create an option with larger fonts and higher contrast. The recent update to greyscale doesn't work well for older eyes. Functionality ahead of fashion please!

The SPEEDOMETER and the SPEED LIMIT NEED TO BE CAPABLE OF BEING MADE LARGER.
I consider it very dangerous to have to locate, focus and read these dials and then refocus on the road.
It is a fantastic tool but needs larger speed graphics to make it perfect and saver -

The Speed limit display would be very useful, if I could see it. I have looked for a setting that would increase the size of the Speed Limit display but can't find one. I can't begin to see those numbers especially while driving.

I have a navigation screen on my car dash and have the ability to either use Waze or Google Maps. I also wear trifocals, but the unreadable small font size on the street names etc. is one reason I've gone back to using Google Maps where the street names are very visible.

Agreed, text size needs to be larger.

I would love an option to increase the size of the speed limit indicator.
By way of explanation, when a person ages their corneas become stiffer, which makes the eye muscles have to work harder to pull in the focus. With the small font used by Waze on the speed limit indicator, it can take my eyes a half second to pull in the focus from the road to where I can resolve the small numbers of the speed limit on the Waze screen, and then a half second to push the focus back out to the road. With a larger font as in my car's dashboard speedometer, this is more like a tenth of a second in each direction.

I agree! Drives me nuts - I've started ignoring the surveys because of this. Hear that Waze? You've lost valuable data points because of design over function.

I also sugest to be possible to increase the icon that tells the distance to the next driver action. Takes me a seccond to focus on it while driving. (Top left corner)

Any suggestion to modify Waze's font size (ideally enlarge the font size)?

Option to change menu color scheme and text size.
My eyesight is getting poorer so I find the menu's in Waze very difficult to read. The ability to change the background color from white to a dark color and the text to white would be a great improvement. Also change the text size. (ps I'm not talking about the map color screen. I am aware this can be changed).
