One Touch Reports in Car Play / Android Auto - Customizable
It would be great to have the ability to customize one-touch reports.
See the attached imgur photo.
In this case, I made vehicle on shoulder, police, and object on the road as my "One Touch."
I also added a compass to the navigation bar on the bottom left. (The compass I used is far too busy for Waze.)20 votes -

Ability to disable features
Give users ability to disable/opt-out of CarPool. I drive for work, and cannot have passengers, but frequently have navigation blocked by the "Carpool" screen when adjusting my phone in the holder / accidental contact with right side of screen.

Move speedometer location
I'm a motorcyclist and I don't like looking down to see the speedometer in bottom left corner.
Would love to switch it to the top right or wherever I want.
People have been asking for this feature for years and I am sure it is easy to implement!
Maybe a larger speedometer too.14 votes -
Burn-In Protection for organic displays (OLED / AMOLED)
I drive 30-40k Kilometers per year and now I have the Top Direction Box and Red Button burned into my Phone.
Please Implement a Burn-In Protection, a lot of high end Phones use Organic Displays theses days.
I Do not really want to use Waze with my new Pixel until fixed!14 votes -
Favorites Folders
Having many favorites makes it difficult to navigate among them. Additionally, they are all in the same list, despite addresses being unrelated (ex: friend's home, work/client's business, restaurant,...).
Having the possibility to create folders with customizable names in the Favorites list would greatly reduce the time and effort to find a specific favorite place.

Please give the ability to turn off the "carpool" button
The carpool button is the bane of my Waze existence. Whenever I pick up my phone from the little pocket area in the car and Waze is running, it triggers this "carpool" button. Then it takes both hands to swipe from the far left side of the screen to make it go away. I won't ever use the carpool function and would love to be able to hide it and stop this from happening. I know it sounds trivial, but it's maddening to deal with.

Big "stop Waze" button
Sometimes (often) you just want to stop and close Waze. But you have to go through menus, which is DANGEROUS while driving. There should be a big readily-visible X on the main navigation screen. Or alternatively, a big readily-visible MUTE button.

Interface suggestion
When asking if police or disabled car on side of the road, perhaps separate the “still there” and “not there” buttons. Perhaps one on the top and one on the bottom. Sometimes I accidentally click the wrong button as the car is bumpy and the buttons are too close together. FYI. This is on Apple CarPlay.

Offset turn instruction
Oftentimes at standard, perpendicular intersections, streets dead-end on one side and pick up again on the other side, offset by just a few dozen feet. For simplicity's sake and for routing, we map a lot of these as plain four-way intersections (like an italicized + sign, you could say).
But this can be confusing for drivers, who arrive at the intersection with no special instruction and yet are forced to almost fully turn right or left. The simple four-way mapping style is appropriate when the offset would still allow a car's width to pass through without turning, but when there…

Do AWAY with cartoonish “rewards”
Do AWAY with the cartoonish rewards! This is a useful app and not a ridiculous game. Going 75mph down the highway and I “verify” a car on the side of the road and as soon as I do I come over a small rise and there’s a car in the left shoulder partially in the fast lane and the ridiculous cartoon rewards are still flashing so I can’t press the notification button to alert other drivers!! It’s either a game or a useful app, stop trying to make it both!!

Have an easy to use "manual start/pause" button
It would be helpful to have a "Start now" button. I'll often set my destination while still parked, so the part about navigating out of the parking lot is the app getting confused over and over while I navigate out to the street.

Combine waze and google maps
It would be better to allocate servers for long trips as well. It would make Waze better. Also, why not incorporate the waze reporting and crowdsourcing features into Google maps? I would even pay a monthly subscription for that.

Group toll passes & exemptions by country and/or state
It would be great that if in the app the Toll passes and exemptions would be grouped by country and/or state. As there are a gazillion ones in the list it's hard to find the ones you want to choose.
Ex. Belgium -> LEZ Antwerp, LEZ Bruxelles, LEZ Ghent and etc.
France -> Crit'Air 1,2,3,4,5,E
Germany -> Umweltplakette Grün, Umweltplakette gelb.Regards

Run app on locked screen, so if phone is stolen other apps can’t be accessed
In Brazil, many cellphones are stolen from inside the cars while waze is open, which allows criminals to have full access to other apps.
It would be nice if there was a way for waze to run on the locked screen, so that we can still see the map, but the phone would have to be unlocked in order to access anything else.7 votes -

Gamification
Please allow us to turn this off completely. We understand some people like gamification. But for those of us that don't, it's a hard no and we will have to uninstall.
