Show street currently being driven on
Where it currently prompts for Car Type or Vehicle Info in a blue oval near the bottom center, instead show which street is currently being driven on. The other prompts don't seem important enough to be in that prime space all the time. Sometimes when driving by sense of direction it can be easy to not know which road you're on and it never shows on the map itself.

An option to show EV charging stations on map
Waze offers an option to indicate EV charging stations in a given area but, in order to access it you need to move out from your map.
It would be great to have the option to show EV charging stations around you while you are driving rather than having to move to a separate page.

Floating window on exit
Would like Waze to implement "floating" window on exit. Or atleast have pop up notification of the next direction, like Google maps has. When I close out Waze, I have no way of knowing the next step unless I reopen app.

Show the country borders
Some countries you just don't want to pass through so it would be useful, if you could see on the overview whether you are passing through or not.

More informative map or interactive.
It would be convenient if you can see how’s the weather over there( your destination) and a cool feature like a altimeter to see how high you are.

View a larger area of the map on phone while driving.
Please give the option to view a larger area of the map while driving. When on auto-zoom it's really close and you cannot see the road at least a few miles ahead.

Outlines for “area” place types (App/Livemap)
Currently, polygons representing “area” place types in the app and in Livemap are rendered in an overly simplified way, using a uniform fill with no visible outlines. This design choice reduces visual clarity when distinguishing between adjacent areas. In cases where one area is located inside another, the label of the inner area appears to “float” over the outer one, with no clear indication of its limits.
However, there are legitimate scenarios in which representing buildings or facilities as areas within a larger, usually enclosed area is both correct and necessary — especially in complex urban environments such as universities,…

- When I am driving to a destination in another time zone, please show the ETA of that time Zone. (2) When I driving along Interstate highways, and am looking for a Coffee or eating place along the Route, it is usually looking ahead. I don't want to drive back 20 miles to have a coffee. I am looking for a Coffee stop ahead. (3) Show rest stops as most other apps do. (4) Show Traffic Lights and gas stations

Gulf of America doesn't exist. Change it back to Gulf of Mexico
The rest of the world calls it the Gulf of Mexico. It's been the Gulf of Mexico long before the USA came into existence.

Outdated Waze map design -> Chances for a redesign?
The Waze map design is now quite outdated and seems very retro, out of date. There are no 3D buildings, poor resolution on large car screens, etc.
Will there ever be a redesign of the Waze map, see e.g. Google Maps 3D buildings in navigation.

Minions Theme Breaks Landscape Mode on Android.
When I switched to the minion theme, the map would no longer switch to landscape mode on my Android phone. I deleted all data and restarted waze, and landscape worked again. I loaded the minion theme again and Landscape broke again.

I vote for the route in the center of the screen on android car audio
On android car radio the route is not in the center of the screen. Moreover - it is on the right side of the screen, at the maximum distance from the driver. It is very uncomfortable! Fix it please!

More options for changing distance units
Having the map directions/ETA distance units option as well as the speed limit option. For example, the map directions/ETA in kms and then showing the speed limit in miles.
This would be useful for someone driving out of country to be aware of the speed limit while maintaining their preferred units for the directions.
I am a Canadian living in the US therefore am driving in miles/speed limit is in miles but I have a better sense of distance in kms.8 votes -
Beginning of town (inhabited place) indication - for when to let off the gas in advance
Indicate the next beginning of town somehow on the route.
On the map and/or with info saying "beginning of town in 500m ... 400m ... 200m" etc.
Or even just one popup saying "town in 300m".
Or just with a marker on the map! That would also suffice.I have wanted this feature for years.
Very hard to estimate when in an unknown area.
For those of us mindful about eco driving, there is no point in pressing the gas pedal up until the sign and then braking suddenly from 90km/h to 50km/h.It would be nice to know when…

Increase size of speed icons and location on monitot
Speed icons too small on hi res monitors. Need 1x and 2x size options to increase size. Locations of icons need options for left side off monitor which is closer to driver. Default is for left side only.

More visibility in a landscape mode (tilted screen)
Waze is great, I like to keep it running without any navigation / destination. In mobile's landscape mode (tilted screen) there is menu + search bar that takes about a half of the screen. Please make it as a pop up when touched or as a slider from the bottom/side of the screen. The visibility is close to none even with my 6.7" screen.

Making state lines more distinguishable.
It looks this idea, or similar ideas have been suggested. I've read that Google maps have something like this already in place. Why has this not been done yet? Do I need to use Google Maps instead? I'd rather continue using Waze because it's what I'm use to, but for this I'm willing to switch. Please do something about making the state lines more distinguishable, &/or announcing when you're entering a new state, like other suggestions that have already been made.
