Request Waze make a slight programing change to the on-screen alert display.
Put the "Still There" above the warning message with the "Not There" below it. I sometimes try to touch the correct response and my vehicle moves just a little and I end up touching the wrong response.

Link Waze with emergency dispatch centers
I work with a volunteer ambulance corp in NJ. When an emergency call comes in from the 911 dispatch center we are given and address. We have to manually enter into Waze or onboard computer. This wastes time and has many user errors - wrong spelling. Wrong number. And takes valuable time away from responding to scene. It would be great if Waze integrated with these 911 centers and the address and route is prepopulated as we head to the emergency. Thank you.

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…

Make the speedometer floating
Make the speedometer floating so that it is "pushed up" rather than obscured by alerts which is when you need the speed display the most

Allow the ability to remove the Work category from the list
It would be great if there was the ability to either remove the Work category, or change the order of categories to put Work at the end so that places that are used more frequently can be moved to the front.
Many people are retired or work from home, so the Work category is just a nuisance to have there.3 votes -
Bring Back These Three Icons
The classic Waze icon (with the U turn mouth) was adorable. I miss it. I would love to see it return as an app icon option in the iOS app.
Also, I miss the ability to set my Wazer icon as a Duck or Wembley from Fraggle Rock. I would love to se both of those return as options.

map zooms out and centers wrongly when driving along minor roads
lately the map zooms out and the arrow indicating my car "centers" itself upwards on the screen when driving along small roads, making it very hard to determine the proximity and distance of the next turn. it's only been for the past week and still having this issue. I did not change any of my settings it just randomly happened starting last week onwards. the same issue happens even on my different phone with a different Waze account. when driving, the arrow that represents your car should be near the bottom edge of the map, not somewhere center or high-center…

Update EV platform
Update the whole portion of the Waze app to reflect current real time updates or create a new EV Waze...this is for ICE cars mostly. The EV portion is old and out of date. Not even real time. Add come AI in there...

Add option to drop pin at the location we want to go AND to save as special destinations (Home, Work, etc).... instead of just key in the ad
Add option to drop pin at the location we want to go AND to save as special destinations (Home, Work, etc).... instead of just key in the address. Been years, but still so typical... in the name of minimalistic 🤦🏻♂️❤️🌌✨.

Kill the new cutesy animation when loading. Already too long and now longer. Annoying
Milliseconds matter. Ask Spotify. Adding extra loading time for the sake of a cutesy animation is heresy.

Добавить возможность менять размер спидометра
Очень хочется сделать спидометр больше. Очень здорово было бы поменять его на прямоугольный 7segment индикатор с ярким свечением, с возможностью выбора места отображения, цвета, размера.

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…3 votes -
Simplify feedback buttons
Currently there are two option buttons on the display, regarding a reported event. These are "Still there" and "Not there". But as your default setting is "Still there" in case of no action from the user, I think it would be better to have a single button, and that should be "Not there". In this way would be more easy for the user to push that button while driving. In the current situation sometimes I miss the right answer because the two buttons are close and I have to be attentive to the road while giving feedback.

Accessibility
Suggestion:
Improve accessibility by offering larger and more legible text options for users with difficulty reading small, intricate, or black-colored fonts, as they appear in the current interface. Even with larger fonts and adjusted text styles enabled on my father's phone, the app doesn't adapt well to these settings, making it hard to read addresses and other details. I suggest implementing better accessibility features to address these needs.

Re-introduce a feature. Back button (on android) re-centers map.
This is actually not new, but a feature I (and many people I've talked to) want back.
In the past, when you would roam around the map to check whats to come on your route, you could just press the default back button on android and it would re-center the map.
After recent updates, it doesn't do that anymore, and instead shows the dialog for shutting down. So not only we have to cancel that, but then find the button on screen to click to re-center.
Please, add it back.3 votes -
Remove or change the inbuilt browser in the App
Inbuilt browser in the application does not comply with the ‘family safety’ settings set for browsers and search engines on the phone. For example, adult content can be accessed via google through the Waze inbuilt browser by accessing googles website within it.

For people that have smaller screens, exit info is tiny and hard too see while driving. Any way of making it larger?

Add "unlimited speed limit" sign for Germany
In Germany, 70% of the highways have to actual speed limit. This is currently idicated by no speed limit sign at all. However, this might also mean that the speed limit is unknown.
Instead, the "unlimited" speed sign could be used that is used in Germany to indicate that no speed limit applies anymore (link to an image: https://www.bussgeldkatalog.org/wp-content/uploads/282.png) This is sign 282.This could be easily accomplished by either adding a checkbox to the editor to set that no speed limit applies, but this might requite some engineering.
An easier solution would be to only update the app…3 votes
