Upside-down interface
Without a car dock, the iPhone rides upside-down in my cupholder since the car charger plugs in the bottom of the phone. It would be awesome if Waze supported 180-degree rotation in addition to both landscape modes.

Full screen view
My Waze and search fields take almost half of the screen space in landscape mode. This is getting out of hand. Add an option to hide them when I drive without navigation please.
22 votesGreat thinking! We’ll share with the team; they’re always interested in new feature ideas.

Waze App - Landscape/Horizontal Mode - Time, Mobile Signal & Battery%.
Hi.
When you switch from Vertical mode to Horizontal, the time, mobile signal/service and battery % disappears from behind the map.
It would be great to have this also for this mode so we can see the current time rather than just the ETA alongside the other icons.
Thanks!

Turn by turn (next turn) panel too big
Is there a way to make turn by turn (next turn) smaller in landscape mode. Takes up to much of display. Possibly be able to hide it until you are within a certain distance from the turn. (This is on a Note 3)

Landscapes near you and you did not know about their existence
On an excursion in Europe between Germany and Austria and Switzerland, we reached our destination, like any destination. But it is also important to enjoy the road and breathtaking scenery. Sometimes it's worth stopping for a moment .. (That's how the idea came about)
Sharing landscape photos (located on / near the route I'm going through) of users will help those who do not know the area, reach the landscape that is on my route. Stop for a moment and watch from the vehicle and then continue on a trip
It will be possible to operate it as a feature…

Allow me to select the position of the vehicle cursor or icon.
Allow me to select the position of the vehicle cursor or icon on the map manually. Currently the Vehicle icon or cursor is only positioned in the middle of the map when in landscape mode and only at the bottom of the map in portrait mode. I would like to be able to manually select the ideal position on the map for the vehicle icon. Or allow options like top, middle or bottom of page.
This will really assist when in landscape mode.4 votes -
iPhone 14 and dynamic island
I got a new iPhone 14 and in landscape mode the dynamic island covers up very important information on the map, including what road is next and in how long. Please fix this!

Automaticaly => giroscope
Landscape => manual
ReverseLandscape => manual
Portrait => manualits better for choise for user :)

Optimize wasted space on landscape mode when no destination set
user story: As a user of a phone with a smaller screen, I would like to be able to see more of the map when using an iPhone in horizontal mode when just driving without inputting a destination. Many users do this for common destinations just to see updates from other Waze users.
Enable a cleaner interface such as navigation mode to show more of the map.1 vote -
Alternative feature for traffic jam bar
The traffic jam bar is automatically shown in the portrait WAZE map view mode but it can't be automatically shown in the landscape WAZE map mode. Actually, this bug is already exist in the previous WAZE GPS app versions & had ever reported to the WAZE support team.
You can witness this bug when in navigation mode & the WAZE map is rotated from portrait view mode to landscape view mode & vice versa.
Perhaps a countdown timer, say to be placed either beside the speedometer or beside the orange reporting traffic/hazard type button, showing the elapsing estimated time in…

Thank you for your suggestion!
This suggestion will not be implemented for the time being, since we’re focusing on features which would potentially benefit larger groups of Wazers.

Car pointer more centered
Especially when in landscape mode, the car pointer is at the very bottom of the screen, what does not allow to have a good view of the roads and surroundings.
Please make at least an option to have the car pointer more centered on the screen.8 votes -
fleche trop grosse dans la derniere version et trop haut placée, en version landscape, elle est quasi au milieu donc on ne voit rien.
la fleche trop grosse dans la derniere version et trop haut placée, en version landscape, elle est quasi au milieu donc on ne voit rien.
pourquoi les indication prennent tout le haut de l ecran ainsi que l indication de danger? avant c etait sur le coté et cela ne prenait pas de profondeur de champs. Je n ai pas trouvé l utilité du mode auto dans l affichage 2d ,3d ou Auto, ce soft est genial, mais manque d option comme avait Igo quand ce dernier fonctionnait bien
continuez !! et merci2 votes -

more screenspace ahead of the car in 2D mode
while driving in fixed North=up mode and in landscape the client could position the car/current location icon so that there would be more screenspace (and thus more useful information) ahead and less space (and thus much less useful information) behind the car
5 votesI believe this was resolved in Version 2.2. There’s more screenspace ahead while in navigation.

The WP app needs to be updated. Make functional: additional voices, Facebook/friends feature, landscape view.
The app is great on other devices, but is in need of refinement on WP 8.1. The app does not properly download additional guidance voices (on Terry Crews it stayed at 0 percent for weeks), the social/friends link just goes back to the main Waze screen, the app is locked in vertical position--which is not optimal; and the gas feature (including reporting) doesn't work at all. Ideally, this app should mirror the other devices in terms of functionality--it would be heads and shoulders above the default "Here" app.

Alert events pop up is too big in new version
The alert events pop up in new waze version is too big if you are using the landscape mode. This is making hard to see the map in front of you.
Balloon pop up of older version in right corner was much better.
