Subject: Restore Red Color for Speed and Red Light Camera Alert Banners
Message:
I am writing to provide feedback on the recent UI change regarding the pop-up alert banners for speed cameras and red light cameras.
In previous versions, these alerts appeared in a bright red banner, which was immediately noticeable. In the current update, the banner has changed to a dark gray/black color. While this might look "modern," it creates a significant visibility issue, especially when driving in Dark Mode or at night.
The dark banner blends into the background of the app, making it difficult to distinguish an important safety warning from other map elements at a glance. For driver…5 votes -
Flip or swap speed to other side of screen (for CarPlay) and/or make speed limit as big as actual speed.
Hi. Love Waze, but this idea is one of three that would take it from good to great for me...
Problem: For RH Drive vehicles, especially with CarPlay or where the phone is mounted to the left of the steering wheel, the speed limit (as opposed to actual speed) is too hard to read quickly while driving.
Some solutions:
1) A simple option to flip (or swap) the speed widget to the other side of the screen... and / or
2) An option that displays the speed limit the same size as the actual speed, perhaps partly tucked behind the…5 votes -
Speedometer colors
I’d like to see the ability to change the speedometer numeral and background colors, especially when over the speed limit. Red numerals on a black background are difficult for me to read.

Refined UI
This may not pertain to most people, but for those of you who use the Waze app in the landscape view may have similar issues. First of all, the alert box for train crossings and red light cameras takes up approximately 40% of the bottom of the screen, as well as the direction arrows information covers the speed display. Some of the other icons are piled on top of each other. If the UI were to be more like the Android auto version of Waze or Gmaps it would be much better and easier to use.
Take a look at…

New option to “add next” addition to “add stop”
Today, we can add a stop before the final destination. Why not all so an option to add a next destination after we arrive at the first destination?

Obscured vehicle speed
When driving in an average speed trap zone, the vehicle speed is partially obscured by the average speed trap indicator.
ALSO.. when approaching a speed camera while in the zone a banner pops up TOTALLY obscuring the vehicle speed until the camera proximity is passed.
This is a NEW FAULT affecting only average speed zones since a recent update when a banner issue obscuring speed indicator for all speed cameras was resolved
Please resolve this frustrating issue.
Vehicle speed is obscured JUST when you need it most. Thank you !5 votes -
Show saved locations standerd with recent searches
With an recent update, Waze opens on Android Car with recent searches. Not shown are pre-saved locations like 'work' or 'home'. So now I need to close the recent searches, click on pre-saved locations and click the destination. Previously i could directly click on the saved location. The new update cost more clicks and is slower accessible.

Plan a drive
I'm not happy with the relocation of "Plan a drive." It's way too difficult to get to now and not intuitive any more. Please put it back on the main page.

Make the "speed camera" warning smaller in landscape
Hi :-)
I've been using Waze for a long time and I enjoy using it a lot.However lately the bar that shows arrival time has grown, leaving less space for the map.
That's not the worst though. The worst is that, when nearing a speed camera or speed enforcement zone, the warning covers almost half the screen, pushing the speedometer behind the directions. As you can maybe surmise, I'd really like to be able to see how fast I'm going when nearing a speed camera.
I use the app in landscape because that's the least intrusive way to fix…

Afficher un symbole quand Éviter les autoroutes est actif
Quand on roule en moto, on aime éviter les autoroutes. Mais parfois, pour gagner du temps, on doit les prendre. Afficher une icône pour signaler que l’évitement d’autoroutes est activé ou non serait bien utile quand on définit son itinéraire.

Shutdown dialog no longer shows up on first back button or swipe back
Android: Waze used to always show the shutdown dialog box when the back button was pressed or swiped back. Now if I launch Waze and then swipe back, it will go to my home screen and continue running. The behavior is the same if I am already navigating to a destination. Once I return to the home screen, if I open Waze again and then swipe back, it will show the dialog box. Please re-enable the dialog anytime a back swipe is issued. Thanks!

When you need to take a tunnel (go down in tunnel)

Add 2 buttons to main screen
Puta separate “Police” and “Traffic on shoulder” buttons on the main screen on the right side. I am sure these are the two most frequently used buttons. Removing the additional steps for these two alerts will make it much easier on drivers AND encourage more participation amount users. My friend uses WAZE, but never alerts the app of police because it takes multiple steps to post alert. It will also provide a more accurate location since those two would need only one touch.

"User state" option
"User state" option: Invite the user to each opening of the application, to choose the way in which it is going to be mobilized (always open in default with the last state)
In this way, Waze will be able to immediately segregate user data when it does not correspond to, for example, driving a car.
1) driver of (a) car; (b) Taxi driver -uber etc-; (c) buses; (d) loaded truck; (e) empty truck
2) passenger of (a) car; (b) Taxi -uber etc-; (c) bus, train, tram, subway passenger; (d) loaded truck; (e) empty truck
3) cyclist;
4) pedestrian;

level 4 & 6 mood
Bonjour Reader,
Could you add the mood of the editor in levels 4 and 6 in WME to the client Waze for different visiblity on live map because they are the best.
An editor can choose differents moods editor when he wants not just the dinosaur for levels 5.
Tanks.Bonjour Lecteur,
Serait-il possible d'ajouter les humeurs d'éditeur pour les niveaux 4 et 6 du WME dans l'application Waze, afin d'avoir une visibilité distincte sur la Live Map car ce sont les meilleurs. Un éditeur pourrait ainsi choisir différentes humeurs quand il le souhaite, au lieu d'avoir seulement le dinosaure…4 votes -

Saved Addresses
I have a proposal, can you please make like pages for the saved addresses list? after a certain amount it doesn’t show the rest of the list, and I don’t know the other saved addresses I have past like 50 or 100, I can’t even the see the name I put for those addresses, it would be better if we have access to the complete list of saved addresses instead of a limited amount.

Bring back the larger fonts
Waze fonts have gotten smaller in recent releases. One of the benefits of Waze has always been the larger, easier to read layout and minimum required clicks. The new UI seems to be moving away from these tenants and is much harder to read and use. Go back to your roots.

Private roads should be marked a different colour
This is more for the map editors view on waze, but it would be greatly beneficial to have Private Roads marked as say a dark yellow, and for the off-roads to be marked as brown - just like in the map editor. Accidently went down a dead-end farm road and would have helped to have been aware of a private road colour.
This is a suggestion for the map editors UI view which can be activated in the Waze app. As a side note, have voted on another idea but please make Footpaths marked as a dotted line across both…
