New adult looking display... The update looks like a child designed it
The new update on Android really killed Waze in my opinion. I like the new button layout and placements, but there are a few problems with the display.
a) Color scheme - Looks like a child colored it in. I would like not so vibrant colors and more professional looking.
b) The view port - It seems to show much more of the road you have already passed than it did before the update. I'm not concerned with the road I have already driven on, I would much rather see more ahead.
c) Road Thickness - WAY too thick!!! At any complex junction all of the roads bleed together and are hard to follow. Apple's map app has very nice looking road thickness and color scheme that is easy to follow.
d) Not enough Information - I wish the map had more information like more highway and interstate numbering. It would be nice if restaurants and other places were shown on the app while driving - again like Apple.
e) I have also noticed that the time before a turn that Waze notifies you seems to have been shortened. My first drive I took with the update was through places I have not been before. I missed a few turns (granted I wasn't zeroed in on my app) but this never happened with the previous version of the app.I think a combination of all of these factors has led to a more poorly designed app. The only reason I use it now is because it alerts me for hazards and cops :/ I think Waze took a big step back, and I may soon switch to other navigation apps after collecting 32k+ points in Waze...

Reward helpful information in Update Requests
When reviewing Update Requests in Waze Map Editor, it is very helpful and satisfying when the user making the report provides enough information that I can identify and fix a problem without asking for additional information. When this happens, as a reviewer of the Update Request, I would like to be able to reward the user for their helpful information. I envision this as some sort of check box when I mark the Update Request as Solved that would drop a road goodie for the reporter. This is just an idea for implementation and it could take a different form as long as the reporter could be rewarded for good information.
Also, there would need to be a mechanism for preventing self-reward.

Add option for car pool lane users
Waze goes to great lengths to avoid the 405 in LA. But with 2 or more people in the car it might still be a better option.

Be able to show an accident or hazard for the opposite side of the road. Many times, we'll see it on the opposite side.
Many times, we see accidents on the opposite but when we report it, it says our side.

Add draw bridges to reporting options
I live in Seattle and we have half a dozen draw bridges in the area. The Waze app has led me to be stuck and waiting for bridges to go down on more than one occasion, so it would be great if Wazers could report when the bridges go up and when they go back down.

Add a photo by uploading from photo library
When you get to a location, Waze asks you to take a photo of that location so that people know they're at the right place. I struggle with why this is the case, when Waze is owned by Google.
Suggestion 1: Integrate with Google Street view. Wow. No brainer.
Suggestion 2: If you're hell bent against that (which, according to customer service you are AND you "aren't owned by Google" lol), then allow someone to upload an EXISTING photo from your photo library.

Make the nav text (under the distance) white instead of light blue to improve contrast
The current navigation text is light blue on black (which becomes dark gray under most lighting conditions) lacks contrast and becomes unreadable in many situations. Also would be good to allow for user-selectable text size to take advantage of larger displays (6 and 6 plus).

Saving Lives Warning People in Brazil
Hello Waze and Everyone! For the third time I heard a really sad story here in Brazil. First let me tell you: waze made a revolucion in how me and everyone moves around here. But the thing is that in Brazil we have a thing called favelas. Favelas are wood "homes" made by poor people because they dont have anywhere else to live. Favelas are very dangerou places, and once you get in you'll probably end up dead, just like how happened this weekend in Rio because a 70 year old couple end up going there via waze. They typed the wrong street number, and as soon as they got there, their car was full of gun shots. The wife died and the husband (who was driving) managed to get to the hospital. Last month the same happened to a couple and a guy, the couple is alive but the other guy died as well. My suggestion is to make a warning at the app whenever people are entering in a dangerous places like those favelas. This is really important!!!

Police Officer options
Any way to create an option to log on as a "verified" Police Officer so I can respond to hazzards not called in but reported to Waze? Maybe an option to create an overlay so if I'm signed on, I get notified of hazzards in my area?

Report abuse
I got behind a user the other day that was constantly reporting nonsense. Assumingly to amass more points. How about the ability to report abusers or if nothing else, block reports from certain users

Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not right now, since we finalized our plans for 2023 and this idea won't be implemented this year. We hope to have it included in our plans for later years and will keep you posted. Thanks!

Invites the user to reports UR to correct the problem himself
When the editor reports an error on the map as UR , the system could send an e- mail indicating the WME and the forum so that it even correct the problem on the map. The idea is to get new editors.

Ability to say 'dont send me this way again' for dangerous turns or bad neighborhoods.
I live in a big city with a long commute and many options to to my destinations. Sometimes the way Waze sends me around traffic is dangerous (i.e. Turning left onto a 5 lane, busy highway just to immediately turn right, or through high crime areas). An option to indicate unsafe guidance and not to suggest it again would be great.

Stop rearranging my favorites. Every couple of weeks I have to put my favorites back in the order I want them.
My favorites rearrange on their own. Fix this. Maybe an option to order favorites based on use.
