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.

Speak command icon near report a road condition.
I use my iphone in landscape mode and wave and 3 fingers don't work safely. A button on the main nav page near the report icon would be great to initiate the speak command

When my phone is in landscape mode the compass button is partially over the report button, and the "Where too?" Search bar is taking up most of the screen

There is a major bug in the latest version of Waze. The arrow will not centre anyone when in landscape mode. Please fix ASAP.
Major bug in the latest version of Waze. The arrow refuses to center correctly and always cuts half of the map off from the right side. This issue makes the app practically unusable so until it is fixed I’ll need to go back to my trusted TomTom app.

Bring back classic map view (ie. the magnifying glass and no “my Waze” and search bar. It is intrusive and takes up too much map space).
Please revert back to the classic map view. This new map layout is impractical and takes up way too much valuable map space when viewing in landscape mode. The magnifying glass instead of the two massive bars (My Waze and Search) was a far more effective use of screen space. At least give us the option to hide one or both of them.

Zoom level resets after waze shows alerts while stopped
If I'm driving and set my zoom at a certain level and stop, waze shows nearby alerts... great! But when I drive again my zoom level is not what I've set it at. Also, please make the app show the alert on the side of the screen and put the pinpointed alert on the other side while in landscape mode. Sometimes an alert is useless without seeing it and currently the warning covers the map!

Message alerts settings
In the new version of Waze, when the phone is landscape, when a warning is shown (radar, stopped vehicle ...) it's appear on the top of the screen, avoiding the visualization of what is to come in the path. The suggestion is to allow set where to place these alerts. If the phone is in an horizontal position, would be more useful than alerts go out to the right or left of the screen covering part of the side and not the way to go.

Reports buttons size
In landscape mode, with the report buttons and the option to accept them, if I accidentally press the wrong button, I can no longer accept the report.

Map Colour Choices
The current WHITE or GREY map colour choices are awful and ******* the eyes. Having a nice beige or light green colour for landscape would greatly improve Waze, especially if the roads were white. But other users may prefer other colours, so I good range of map colours would be very beneficial.

Allow manual override of screen orientation
Since a recent update my car Android HU is displaying the map centred to the right of the screen. I assume it is sensing landscape orientation and arranging the map beside the whereto and info boxes but my screen is actually 12" portrait orientation. The Waze landscape layout puts useful map content off screen. Either the auto orientation needs to be fixed to work correctly for non-phone screens, or provide an override to force the most appropriate display mode. Thanks.

Compass issues
When in landscape the 'speech bubble' to report something is over the top of the compass that changes the screen orientation... When I try to report something normally I end up spinning the screen instead! Can you put more distance between the icons?

Top line of route is not visible in new update
The top line to directions stating immediate turns is not visible, especially in landscape mode on iphone 12 pro max. Its scary to try to figure out direction and memorize it as well:(

3 differents driver profil
Today, the user profile is not taking into account by the algorithm. I hope in the future Waze will propose, not only the fatest road, but the road adapted to the user.
…
We will use for example 3 different profiles :
- the busy driver : this will always proposes the fastest road but it will add more weights to highway where overtaking car is possible
- the thrifty driver : always proposing the road with the cheapest path (combination of distance, height difference, ...)
- the tourist driver: this will propose road with points of interest (monuments, landscape).14 votes -

Ability to turn off "tool bars". ie. Carpool, My Waze, and Search bars
We need a way to turn off these tool bars if not being used.
They make this app mostly unusable, especially in landscape orientation, as they take up a large part of the screen.
I don't carpool, i dont need the search bar on when I'm driving. Same for My Waze.
Just a small button to access this would be fine.
Please make a way to turn these off.2 votesThanks for your suggestion. Search bar automatically hides after around 30 seconds driving without navigation.
