Dear Waze Team,

First and foremost, I would like to express my gratitude and congratulations for the great and valuable services Waze provides to society, making a significant contribution to urban mobility, road safety, and the optimization of the daily journeys of millions of users around the world.

Furthermore, I would like to present the following suggestions, which are offered solely as recommendations for potential improvements to your services.

Based on the example of the TomTom app, I would like to suggest the following features for Waze:

1. A Traffic Events and Points of Interest Sidebar (Side Bar or Event Bar)

The introduction of a vertical sidebar, similar to the one displayed on the right-hand side of the TomTom app, which remains fixed on the screen and indicates the user's proximity to certain points of interest, such as gas stations, repair shops, hotels, and other relevant locations.

1. More Detailed and Accurate Road Curvature Representation

Improved navigation visualization, particularly on highways, with more detailed geometric representations of the road and earlier visual indications of upcoming curves. Currently, the route is generally displayed as a straight line, with certain curves only becoming visible when they are particularly sharp. A more detailed representation would help users anticipate road geometry more effectively.

1. Improved Positioning of Temporary Alerts Within the Waze Interface

Regarding Waze's existing interface, I would also like to suggest that temporary alerts, such as speed camera notifications and accident reports, should not overlap the Navigation Instruction Banner, which remains fixed in the upper-left portion of the screen.

Instead, these alerts could be displayed directly below the navigation instruction banner. I fully understand the importance of displaying these temporary notifications; however, when they overlap and temporarily obscure the navigation banner, users may lose sight of essential navigation information, even if only for a brief moment.

I believe that positioning these alerts below the navigation banner would help preserve the visibility of essential navigation instructions while allowing users to receive important notifications.

I remain at your disposal should any further clarification be required.

Thank you very much for your time, attention, and consideration.

Yours sincerely,
