1. The May 2023 release of Waze is terrible. Please go back to the previous version.

   Here are the problems I have observed with the May 2023 release of Waze and why I would rather go back to the previous version.
   1. It defaults to having a menu open on the left asking where you want to go with the list of your frequent destinations. I preferred the previous version where if I wanted to navigate somewhere it was easy to click the search icon and bring up this menu.
   2. The menu of locations has Home and then a list of recent places I have gone. The previous version listed Home and then WORK and then the list of recent places. I most often will click on WORK and it's not in the menu anymore.
   3. When I close the menu mentioned in 1 above and just drive, it skews the display and shows my location on the left side of the display. Then, whenever an alert pops up like "stop light camera ahead" or "railroad crossing ahead," the pop up comes up on the left side and blocks the view so I can't see where I am on the map or where the hazard is that's coming up. I would rather it left my position in the center of the display and didn't obscure my position when alerts pop up.
   4. The system is effectively useless now in a car without a touch screen. In my 2018 vehicle, I do not have a touch screen. I have a wheel I spin to highlight the different buttons on the screen and then push in on the wheel to select whatever I have highlighted. In the previous software version, when a pop up like "police reported ahead" or "road kill on road ahead" came on the screen, I could easily spin the wheel to highlight the "there" button and leave it. If I saw the police officer or road kill, I could push in on the wheel to click the "there" button on the screen. If it wasn't there, I could swist the wheel one click to highlight the "not there" button and push in on the wheel to click on the "not there" button. This functionality is completely removed by the latest Waze update. Now, when a pop-up shows up on the screen, it refreshes every couple of seconds. If I try twisting my selector wheel to highlight the "there" button, a couple of seconds later, it resets the display and my cursor goes back to the default highlighting the search magnifying glass icon. I've tried several times to click on "there" or "not there" but by the time I twist the wheel and get the cursor down to the 'there" or "not there" button on the screen, the display resets and moves my cursor back up to the magnifying glass icon again. As it pertains to paragraph 3 above, I can't click on the X to make the "railroad crossing ahead" or "traffic light camera ahead" pop-up go away. If I try to spin the wheel to get to the X to close the pop-up, by the time I get the cursor there, it resets the display again and puts my cursor back up at the magnifying glass. So I have no way to close the pop-ups, and every time a pop-up comes on screen it blocks my view of my location as I stated in paragraph 3.
   5. The whole point and original intent behind Android Auto was to make cars safer by reducing distracted driving. In the old Waze, the speedometer display included the speed limit, the current car speed, and small tick marks to show how far above or below the speed limit you were driving. The tick marks were red if you were above the speed limit or black if you were below the speed limit. It was VERY easy to very briefly glance at the screen and know if I was close to the speed limit and fine or if I was significantly above or below and needed to adjust my speed. The most recent version of Waze got rid of the tick marks. Now it's just the numbers in black or red if you're above the speed limit, but it takes just that much more attention on the display and mental engagement to determine how far off is my speed from the speed limit. The tick marks in the previous version took no mental processing and very little attention on the display. You are forcing drivers to spend more time looking at the screen by getting rid of those tick marks on the speed indication.
   6. It doesn't navigate me where I want to go anymore. In the previous version, I would say "navigate to ______" and Waze would bring up a list of destinations that it thought might match my desired location and I would click on the one I want. Now, it doesn't show me options and it just starts navigating to the WRONG place. In one example, I did a voice command "Navigate to Water Drops Car Wash" which is the name of a specific drive thru car wash just a mile away. Waze has correctly navigated me to Water Drops Car Wash in the past before the update. Now, Waze automatically started navigating me to the closest car wash that was only 0.2 miles away, but it was a self service car wash and not named Water Drops, so NOT the correct, desired destination.
   7. When I put my car in reverse, it turns the rear view camera on. When I take it out of reverse and the camera image goes away, it doesn't go back to Waze. It goes back to the Android Auto app menu and I have to tell it to go back to Waze. I realize this is likely an Android Auto problem not necessarily a Waze problem.

   I hope this feedback is constructive and helpful in improving Waze.

3. TOWNS should be able to submit DO NOT USE THIS ROAD on certain roads

   Towns should have a way of reporting problems with rerouting. In the case of many small towns intersecting two major highways, not all roads are appropriate for heavy traffic.

   Towns should have a way to “prevent through traffic” on Waze, since Waze users totally blow off “no thru traffic” signs!

   For example, small towns still using one lane bridges need to be able to prevent over use and over-weight; afternoon traffic blocking residential roads just because someone is trying to bypass an on-ramp; especially tricks using small town roads not equipped for big trucks and curbs, lawns, and lights all being ruined because drivers are attempting shortcuts.

   I understand it can’t be a universal feature as then everyone will be using it in a “stay off my lawn!” function, but when towns are suffering traffic damage because an app is rerouting highway traffic through small roads, residential areas; when towns can prove this damage; when accident statistics climb so dramatically as to be frightening; when emergency vehicles cannot pass through routes because angry highway drivers are not obeying signs and laws; there should be a resource for the towns to reach out to these big GPS apps to block off certain routes.

4. Navigate toll roads even when pass not entered in settings.

   I live near the Georgia, USA, I-75 Northwest Corridor Express Lanes. When a user enters the Express Lanes without a corresponding pass in settings, Waze acts like the road doesn't exist and keeps offering turns as if they were on the main highway, going the opposite direction, on nearby surface streets, etc. After entry there are very few ways to exit the Express Lanes, and it's unhelpful to have suggestions to turn around or to exit from the main highway when you're in the Express Lanes. Perhaps Waze could recognize that the user is on the road, stop freaking out about the lack of a pass, and just let the user deal with the consequences if they don't have a pass. It's the same when they change the schedule and a user drives northbound but Waze thinks the road is heading southbound at that time. Waze keeps saying "I know that road is oriented southbound right now, so you must be driving in reverse by heading northbound at 75mph. I'll tell you to take backwards exits and get you off this road ASAP!" It would be great if there were some mechanism to make the routing server realize that despite any programmed restrictions, a vehicle is actually traveling on that highway and should start receiving proper routing instructions.

   As an example, the Tesla routing will not ever suggest using the express lanes as far as I can tell, no matter what options are selected. Once I'm on the Express Lanes, however, Tesla realizes I'm on a recognized road and will route me to my destination using valid exits until it can get me back on a road it is able to use. Now it will try to get me to exit early to get on the regular highway, but once I ignore that instruction it goes back to navigating the Express Lanes. Waze on the other hand acts like there's no road at all if I don't have a pass entered or if the road is operating out of cycle from the programmed schedule. Its instructions in that case are completely unusable until back on a regular segment. I hope this makes sense but can provide more explanation if needed.

7. Indicator Panel with Arrows and Traffic Directions and Street Names

   Hi guys, I have a suggestion for you developers,
   Could you make as a Show and Hide Option the "Indicator Panel with Arrows and Traffic Directions and Street Names" which is black in color,
   And it's always there on the top left and it's huge and it covers a lot of the nav screen, top left, Could you make it like some sort of show and hide option.
   This Information-Indicative Panel is rarely used and is not suitable to be always present on the display especially during long distances.
   This black Information-Indicator panel is rarely used. If possible, please make the direction arrows AS TRANSPARENT ARROWS ON THE HIGHWAY CONTOURS for the current traffic, but let them also be optional.
   Could you also make the background, text and arrow color as selectable option to implement for users, May it be more successful and attractive Waze.

   And more:
   I use Sidjik and Waze in Europe and Bulgaria,
   This offer is important for many users, according to reviews in the Internet community,
   I don't know why everyone wants this proposal to be introduced but no one has informed you yet.
   I understand that old telephones and radio navigation systems were short on memory and disk space, and applications had to be pruned.
   But this has changed dramatically in the last few years, Telephones and Radio-Navigations have become powerful computers that can handle large volumes of information, games, movies and lots of color and endless options..
   And it all depends on you guys, Put more options for us to enjoy your navigation. Let's make Ways successful and attractive to all of us.

10. Map Correction Please - Elderly Person Can't update myself

    The address 6608 NE 66th Ave, Vancouver, WA 98661 is incorrect and emergency vehicles can't access address. 66th ave is not a thru road, there is a barrier, it is a private road. 65th ave does not access the property, tall fence. I'm old and can't personally fix your map. Worried about all my elder neighbors on this private drive, your directions are incorrect for emergency vehicles. Other addresses effected on 66th Ave private drive: 6700 NE 66th Ave, 6607 NE 66th Ave. Please update. Much appreciation.

    Thanks for contacting us about reporting an error on the map. Our community of volunteer map editors handle all changes to the Waze map.

    To report a map issue in the Waze App

    To report an issue on the Waze Live Map

    To suggest an edit to the map-editing community

    Note that it may take some time for them to review your request.

11. Waze should not let other apps change “Play sounds via Bluetooth phone call”.

    This screws up some vehicles interfacing with waze via their oem radios and oem phone controls. I want to use waze thru CarPlay but sounds ar3 lost and you cannot manually change setting back to phone controls.

12. Reports and Hazard Alerts

    Speed camera alerts or warnings should sound regardless of the speed travelling. I would rather know something is there even if under speed. GPS speed monitoring is not as accurate as a vehicles speedometer, it's usually 5mph out.

13. improve directions for intersection of Avenue Road and Glencairn Avenue, Toronto, Ontario

    Traffic is not allowed to cross Avenue Road on Glencairn Ave., or to turn left - for both eastbound and westbound traffic. There have been many accidents at this site and signs are posted. Yet Waze sends vehicles across Avenue road in a manner that is contrary to local road laws. There is no light or stop sign at this intersection; traffic on Avenue Road is through traffic and not required to stop. Please stop sending vehicles across Avenue Road when they are traveling on Glencairn Ave. in Toronto, Ontario. The accidents cost all of us time and money.

14. Bigger buttons!!!!

    The buttons on the carplay screen need to be SO MUCH BIGGER. Newer vehicles have tons of screen space and the "hazard" and "routes" buttons are so small. Make it easier to report things with 1 or 2 clicks at most.

16. Help improve law enforcement accountability by creating an icon that drivers can press when they are being pulled over.

    The primary function of this feature would be to create a transparent public record of drivers’ interactions with law enforcement, creating a database that could be used to improve accountability and reduce racial or other forms of bias by law enforcement.

    Traffic stops are one of the most common forms of interaction with law enforcement in our daily lives. After a rash of recent deadly traffic stops involving African American victims of police violence, there is heightened attention to racial bias in traffic law enforcement. The problem is, academics and policymakers trying to identify racial bias often lack the data needed to draw conclusions and improve interactions with law enforcement. This feature would help address the lack of data and improve police accountability by providing a record of the driver’s interaction with the LEO from start to finish.
    
    Here’s how it could work: immediately upon recognizing that you are being pulled over, you press an icon on the waze app that initiates the traffic-stop protocol. The app would show other users that a stop was underway (just as it already shows the location of speed traps), and use your phone‘s microphone (and possibly also camera) to record the entirety of your interaction. If/when a citation or arrest is made, the user could log the specifics of the interaction (including officer badge number, type of citation and amount of the fine) to create a transparent public record. Users could also enter notes about the interaction, including if there was any physical interaction, the manner of questioning, and the demeanor or attitude of the officer(s). (Other examples include: users could check a box or otherwise indicate whether the officer(s) requested a consent search of their vehicle, something researchers have pinpointed as a common form of racial bias).

    The app could be developed in concert with academics who study traffic law enforcement (and also law enforcement agencies themselves). Any waze user could see the record of traffic stops on the waze website from a computer or tablet, and the information could also be furnished to academics, policymakers, and law enforcement itself.

    This function fits well with waze’s mission to contribute to the 'common good' out there on the road. Anything that can help prevent senseless deaths at the hands of racist or prejudiced law enforcement would improve the common good.

17. WazePro

    A personal vision for Waze+

    Given that Waze is in a tension with Google Maps and there is a new CEO with a background in tourism I have compiled a few thoughts.

    Let me start out with some tentative abstract differentiators:
    Google Maps is for drivers, Waze+ is for all others (too).
    Google Maps is about how to get there, Waze+ is more about why to get there.
    Google Maps is for the brain, Waze+ is for the soul.

    A.
    To begin with I would like to see Waze much more individualized and stylish.
    I’d like to express accurately which vehicle I am using, a red BMW 3, a Model S plaid or a KTM bike. A realistic avatar of myself can represent me on the map as a digital twin.
    I’d appreciate to let others know if am am a learner driver or an elderly person requiring increased attention. I could be a tramway, a relaxed Fiaker, a nervous equestrian or a busy shepherd, and so on. I might as well be a scooter, a wheelchair, a mom with a buggy or a guide dog.
    As collaborative citizens we are in this together.
    The necessary SW adjustments are pretty trivial.

    Note: There is an extraordinary economic phenomenon here:
    A public good - safety - emerges from nudging users into a “free” private garden.

    I miss the state of traffic lights and their time till change.
    It would be great to see emergency vehicles with their blue light mirrored in real-time.
    I want a complete cyber-physical correspondence of the traffic system.
    I’d even go into the third dimension and include paragliders etc.

    B.
    I want to sketch two possible features that strengthen interactions in the community:
    “Let me see!”
    On the map I notice a Wazer in a presumably attractive location and wonder what it really looks like there. I send a request over and - Wazers are nice - get a live photo in return (costing subtleties TBD).
    If that location offers tourist services a booking opportunity may just be a click away.

    “Ride with me!”
    If I am about to experience an exciting event, say a rollercoaster ride, I can invite others to join me along in a shared short video (probably VR in the future).
    Again, if this is a professional entertainment offer then getting a ticket may just be a click away.

    In both cases this is an expandable mutual service combined with a business opportunity; privacy aspects are solvable.

    C.
    All smart cars, Teslas first, shall become automatic Wazers.
    That is to say that if they recognize a spontaneous danger such as a deer crossing the street, they shall send out this observation to an open database and share it with other drivers. Some benevolent central artificial intelligence can derive an up-to-date risk map depending on time of day and year and weather in a better way than any public administration can ever achieve it.

    Some of these suggestions may already have been discussed or tried, I don’t know.
    What I feel to be important is a clear mission and the confidence to create a better future, where community and advanced technology fuse for surprising, joyful journeys.

    A personal vision for Waze+

    Given that Waze is in a tension with Google Maps and there is a new CEO with a background in tourism I have compiled a few thoughts.

    Let me start out with some tentative abstract differentiators:
    Google Maps is for drivers, Waze+ is for all others (too).
    Google Maps is about how to get there, Waze+ is more about why to get there.
    Google Maps is for the brain, Waze+ is for the soul.

    A.
    To begin with I would like to see Waze much more individualized and stylish.
    I’d like to express accurately which … more

18. On Navigation preferences

    Could you add an “Avoid Parkways”feature?
    Small commercial vehicles like pick up trucks and small vans are not allowed in parkways in Ct and NY and it’s really complicated to move around those areas because Waze will calculate all routes using the Parways.

19. Add features

    I have a idea to add features find free penalty park places for diffrent vehicles. Like parking places for motorcycles, cars, etc.
    For example, if someone wants to go shop and find a nearby free and safe parking space without penalty.
    You can add this feature for premium users.

20. Speed trap notification on apple car play

    It happened many times in for vehicles that two notifications of speed traps overlap each other blocking severe information of the app.

    The only solution is to close the app and re-open it but soon it happens again, really annoying and makes the app impossible to use.
