Just as I'm about to get close to the destination, the add photo drop down appears. Normally not an issue, but on this low resolution landscape only device it covers the navigation just at the most important point, showing the exact location of the destination.
To make it worse, there's no way to get rid of it, and if I try to take a photo to get rid of it, it tells me I don't have a camera (correct) and goes back to hiding the navigation.
A close button would help a lot, but even better to have an setting…

CarPlay road hazard button layout
On the icon that pops up and asks if a car/hazard/cop is “still there” or “not there” the buttons should be in a portrait orientation instead of a landscape orientation. It will be easier to tap.

Speed indicator
When the phone is in landscape mode, the speed indicator can be sometimes hidden by the lanes indicator when it pops up.
Is it possible to put the speed indicator on the foreground or move it when it is hidden under another object?

Auto cancel the "Where to" and "My Waze" bars
When we use the map and do not choose a destination, the "Where to" and "My Waze" bars at the bottom of the screen - especially in the landscape position - occupy almost half of the screen, which makes it very difficult to read the map. They should disappear after a few seconds and reappear when you touch the screen. I would like to ask you to introduce this minor and very helpful modification.

Interface - needs to revert to 3.x
The new interface looks childish and is unusable in landscape mode. The next instruction box at the top is too big. The notifications are horribly big, and the ones that show when you stop at a traffic light are worse, with the black background.
The map looks drawn by a 4 years old in crayon, seems to lack a lot of the information it had on v3.x., the map lines are too wide.
Having functions that only show when you tap the screen is very bad in usability terms.
To top all that, the interface is so heavy that it…6 votes -
Wt? MW bars convert to icons (Android 11)
Please convert "Where to?" and "My Waze" bars into icons just as "Send a report" icon. Main problem occurs in a landscape mode when those two bars take a horizontal half of screen and it is impossible to hide them if you want to properly see what is on the map.

To small numbers
Hi, i have updated to the latest version of waze. While driving, i always mount my phone in landscape position (90 degrees)
I realized that the guide of remaining distance and remaining minutes has gone in tilt position. It only appear sometimes bit to small to read it. Need magnifying glass to read the number remaining minutes and kilometers.
This is so troublesome and not user friendly. I wiah i could downgrade it to the previous version where i can read it easily.
Fyi, i am using it on Huawei P9. Really hope you can fix this in the soonest…

Bug

BMW Motorrad Connected integration
Since half a Year I'm enjoying the BMW Motorrad Connected Phone cradle That allows me to use the navigation App on my Phone an controll it with the wheel on my steer. the BMW app also has Offline maps, that makes it very hard to stay on Waze.
I'm in doubt to switch to the combination of BMW navigation with Flitsmeister --> But I still prefer waze for navigation.
I hope waze will improve the Landscape view and integtrate with the Connected system Those well keep me using Waze.

Instelling voor positie UI elementen
Een optie voor auto's met stuur aan de linker kant om bv snelheids meter en wegaanwijzingen naar het midden of aan de rechterkant weer te geven.
Op dit moment heb ik een vaste din auto android tablet (landscape) in mijn auto, waarbij het stuur met handen de linkerkant de UI elementen bedekt. Moet daarvoor eromheen kijken. Voor engelse auto's met stuur aan de rechterkant zijn de huidige posities ideaal. Maar niet voor autos met stuur aan de linkerkant.

Navigation screen for Routes has a problem
On Portrait screen, I may have 3 alternate routes that all appear the same.....
Via: Central Expwy Mountain View;...
45 min. 16.8milesVia: Central Expwy Mountain View;...
42 min. 16.7milesVia: Central Expwy Mountain View;...
49 min. 17.2miles
Waze should verify that the 3 "cut to fit" texts are not identical. If they ARE identical, Waze should abbreviate the hell out of them.
Sure, landscape clarifies things, but it's a pain to swap.

Fix Overlapping, invisible Compass button
This is more of a bug report than a suggestion. When Waze is navigating and phone is in Landscape mode, the "Compass" button and the "Update the Map" button overlap with each other by about 80%, and the compass button is usually invisible. This leads to a frequent problem when driving of trying to his the "Update the Map" button but instead hitting the dang invisible Compass button, and suddenly changing the orientation of the map and making everything go haywire. These buttons should not be overlapping by 80% is doesn't make sense!

In my convertible I prefer slower roads
I would love the option of driving on slower roads. Think of it as an extension of "avoid highways" but with the option of setting the speed limit that you don't want to exceed and let the excellent navigator that we all love plot the course out of our needs and wants.
I would love to be able to set Waze to calculate routes never exceeding the speed of my choice. Especially when we decide to drive slowly through the landscape in the cabriolet. When you drive with the top of you want slower roads than usual because it's a…3 votesThanks for your feedback.

Shortcuts for Hazard Reports
When using the Hazard Report feature in Waze I often find that:
1) I use 1 to 3 reports a LOT more often than any others.
2) I often find that selecting these hazard icons using the current method is fiddly, dangerous when driving, and slow, resulting in the report being sent late, often about 100 meters or more past the hazard.
My improvement idea is to add 1 to 3 hazard SHORTCUTS that "slide out" for selection from the existing hazard report icon (yellow triangle) on the FIRST touch, they would then "slide in" again after selection to avoid…

Configurable Speedometer & Speed Limit location
Before I go ahead and suggest improvements, Waze is a great navigation app with excellent features. I love it! Great work, Waze team; keep it up!! 👏
I suggest introducing a feature where Waze app users can configure the location of the speedometer and speed limit information through the Waze app preferences to be positioned in one of four display corners. I have noticed reports of inconsistent placement across different platforms; some Waze apps display this information on the left, while others display it on the right. To set the context, the suggestion is based on using the Waze iOS…

Hazard alerts
Hi, I love the app. Been using it for years! I really like the new version and the new layout but I have one problem. I use my phone in the car in landscape mode and what happens is when there's a hazard the banner covers almost the entire screen so all I can see is the little arrow indicating my car and I can't see any of the street ahead of me. This makes it very difficult to navigate and I end up waving these banners away without being able to either thumbs-up or thumbs-down them. The old version…
