Change font size on search results
When you enter a search the first summary line is <- Your location (in large font) -> address (in small font) The small font is hard to read (especially for those of us who need glasses for reading but not driving). It makes much more sense to have the "Your location" in small font (or not there at all because it is always the same text) and the desired address in the largest font possible on the screen

Enlarge posted speed and actual speed.
I love WAZE and use it everyday. However, the graphics in Garmin are far superior. Please try to improve the graphics. Also, please enlarge the posted speed and actual speed at the screen upper right b at least 1/3.

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.9 votes -
Switch map and directions on android devices to left or right
My car is a left hand drive vehicle however while using the app on an android headunit the directions are on the left side of the screen while the map is on the right hand side of the screen which is very hard to see. I suggest an option if your car is a left hand drive vehicle to swap these two and revert back if it is a right hand drive vehicle.

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.

satellite roads
I do understand the possible changes behind the scenes of the app but i honestly believe satellite roads is safer and more efficient for drivers as it provides a clearer view of the roads being driven on and not confusing drivers as it is confusing with cartoonish roads that nearly blend in together making it hard to understand which roads to take especially on highways. I have personally experienced not only myself but also seen other users of Waze experience missing exits and nearly and actually getting on to wrong exits because of the confusing “cartoonish” Waze maps. These situations…

Optional Weather/storm overlay
I think it would help to have an optional weather overlay into the app. Alerts concerning weather from other users are great but this would be a game changer.

Please make the speed icon in the lower left corner larger with better contrasting colours. I find it difficult to read.
Please make the speed icon in the lower left corner larger and use better contrasting colours. I find it very difficult to read, especially with sun glasses on.

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.

Overtaking
Overtaking lanes in Australia is a must. We have single lane highways and 3 trailer trucks to overtake, this will save so many accidents. It doesn’t need to be built into the map just as a button for the crowd to add so we know there is an overtaking lane coming up, we will wait before passing on dodgy roads filled with Kangaroos!

Improve compatibility with google maps
As a frequent traveler, I always go to places where I quote at the wholesale price. I usually save these places in Google Maps. Since Waze does not have this option to save places. I would like to share the location from Google Maps to Waze. But the links of these applications are not compatible. Please improve the compatibility of these 2 great applications. I would like for now that Waze is able to recognize Google Maps coordinate links

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!

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…

Show the length (km.) On the mape of alternative routes
Pls add the length in k.m. of the alternative routes on the map. Now only time is displayed. Sometimes I do prefer a shorter rout because the diffrence in time is minor.

Very need possibility to set/change 3D perspective angle.
Very need possibility to set/change 3D perspective angle. This need for safer driving, because current angle does not allow the driver to correctly estimate the turning angle. Settings the 3D angle view will make the visual perception of the turn more natural for safe speed selection when entering a turn.

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.

Lake Ontario
I loved your app and used it every single time. I will never again use it as you change the name of Lake Ontario, just to raise the ego of an evil, wannabe dictator (like other of your former users called him).very disappointed
