Map issue
I would like to report that there is a problem in my map view, the name of the street I am on is displayed in the bottom of the map, right where I should see the navigation icon, and it is making difficult to navigate, I tried to desactivate this in the configuration but I did not found this setting. It would be best if the street name be displayed in the top of the map.

Option to remove quick access on sound/mute from map display
Please give us the option to remove quick access sound button from the map display. I prefer a clean map without all the unnecessary button on the display. The settings button is fine, should be allowed to remove everything else on the display. I never use sound navigation, it is a distraction otherwise.

Add traffic signal icons to the map
Please add the traffic signal icons to wherever relevant in the map. Almost all other maps have it and it’s an amazing visual cue to understand something like I have to make a turn from the 3rd signal in front of me.

Need an opinion for Satellite Mapping
What sets this app apart from other competing apps is its option to convert the map to satellite view, which is the only thing this app lacks to become my number one. I hope it will be added soon.

Hope Waze Adds 3D Maps
Hope Waze can add a 3D map view like Amap to make lane guidance clearer at complex junctions and highways. This would help drivers avoid choosing the wrong lane.
Since Google Maps is also introducing 3D maps, it would be great to see this in Waze too.

Always show the current street name bubble (even without active navigation)
Currently, Waze only shows the prominent bubble with the current street name when a destination is set. When driving without navigation, we have to look at the map to find small text on the roads, which is distracting and unsafe.
Please add an option to keep the current street name bubble fixed at the bottom/top of the screen at all times. This would greatly improve readability and driver safety for those who use Waze just to monitor traffic and alerts on familiar routes.

מקלטים מופיעים על המפה לבד
כפתור לשעת חירום זה טוב, עכשיו תסנכרנו את זה עם מערכת ההתרעות של פיקוד העורף ושיופיעו המקלטים הקרובים לבד ברגע שיש התרעה באזור בו נמצא הנהג, כי לגעת בטלפון בזמן נהיגה + לחץ של אזעקה זה מאוד מסוכן

Happy Icon
Big fan of Waze! I think Waze should add a “no traffic” face icon that we can tap to indicate when the road is clear and traffic-free.

Longer information
Please also add that the full destination information should stay visible on the screen even after you reach the destination. Right now, the second it says ‘Destination reached,’ everything disappears and you have to grab your phone or papers again — or go back into the history — just to double-check the exact house number. It’s really annoying

Add Road Surface Quality Layer (like OsmAnd) to Avoid Poor Roads
Currently Waze shows real-time hazards like potholes, but there's no permanent layer showing overall road surface quality (asphalt condition, gravel, smoothness).
Many apps like OsmAnd use OpenStreetMap 'surface' and 'smoothness' tags to color-code roads: green=smooth asphalt, yellow=rough, red=gravel/dirt. This helps plan routes avoiding bumpy secondary roads, especially in Hungary/Europe where road quality varies wildly.
Feature request:
Add toggleable 'Road Quality' layer in map settings.
Show road types: paved/smooth, paved/rough, unpaved, etc.
Route planner option: 'Avoid poor surface roads'.
Use community-edited data (OSM + Waze reports).
This would make Waze perfect for long trips with low-clearance cars (like hybrids) or motorcycles.…

Road labels bigger
Dear Waze Support Team,
I am writing to propose an enhancement to the visibility of road labels within the Waze app and its Android Auto integration. Currently, the road labels and directions displayed are often quite small, making them difficult to read at a glance. This can lead to distraction and may impact driving safety.
By increasing the font size and improving the clarity of these road labels, we can significantly enhance user experience and safety, both in the main app and on Android Auto. This adjustment would be especially beneficial for users with visual impairments or those driving in…

Let users change the colour of the arrow and route line
Blue is too hard to distinguish, especially in dark mode when driving at night. This would also help those that are colour blind.
I am aware that one can choose a different icon but I prefer the arrow style as it takes less time to figure out which direction I am facing.

enlarge the size of the speed display on android devices, and change the colours to improve contrast
I find the speed hard to read on my android when mounted to the handlebars on my bike. If the speed was larger, and with better contrast, especially the red on black, that would help a lot
