Show Suburb Name While Driving
It would be very useful if Waze could display the current suburb/locality name on the main navigation screen while driving. At the moment, suburb names only appear faintly on the map or in some voice instructions, but they are not always visible.
Having the suburb name clearly shown (for example, near the top or bottom of the screen) would help drivers quickly know which suburb they are in, especially in large cities with many small suburbs. This would improve situational awareness and make navigation more convenient.

Hi Waze Community,
I am a regular driver in Victoria, Australia, and I often find myself needing to know exactly which suburb I am passing through while driving.
Currently, Waze shows the street name clearly, but it’s difficult to see the actual suburb/locality name unless I manually tap the map, which isn't safe while driving.
Feature Request:
Could we have the current suburb name displayed on the main navigation screen?
Location: Perhaps in a smaller font under or above the current street name.
Benefit: This would help drivers stay oriented in unfamiliar areas without needing to touch their phones.
Has anyone else found a setting for this, or is this something the editors can look into for future updates?
