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 can't see the speed limit. Like WTAF, no one has eyes that good. Need to be a lot larger like Apple CarPlay. Makes switching to Android feel like a mistake... Please change or make an option for those with sight issues. Supposed to make driving safer.

This is the number 1 fix IMHO. Perhaps have 3 size options.
While addressing the size we should reconsider the Red on Black when overspeed as it is hard to read.
A buffer limit either in units of speed or percentage before alarm would be great, ie 100kph zone but alarm doesn't kick in until 105kph

I agree. The dash already has the speed the vehicle is going. Why would that number be larger than the more important piece of information... the speed limit. Just have the speed limit and surround the limit in red if the car is going over.

So frustrated!! Everything Waze should be larger text... It seems to be ok on Android, but so tiny on iPhone... Very dangerous indeed!!!

Agreed. Especially when the "Speedometer" kicks in and makes the speed limit even smaller. I can no longer read the speed limit when that happens (and I am using it via AA on a large dash screen). I have a speedometer in my car, so that adds insult to injury. ;-) Making the info I want unreadable because of info I don't need. ;-)

I'm sure I'm not the only that struggles reading the text on the fuel prices screen. Currently the 4 fuel categories are spread across the screen in a single line with acres of blank space below them. It would be much better if the prices were in a 2x2 matrix, which would allow the font to be twice the size.

Font size on map is definatly should be resizable.
Its impossible to see street names.
I tryed to increaze and scale fonts on android general settings and that affecting evrything except waze.
I dont think this is additionsl feature, font size is a basics of serious products like waze -

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 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.
