I'd like to be able to use the voice controls without breaking my ability to stay synced with itunes in my car
if you use the "ok waze" feature, it breaks the itunes bluetooth sync with the car... and then you are required to jump through too many hoops to get your music back. would be nice if the hands free feature didn't break itunes

Prevent Waze audio if a call is active
With the Text to Speech navigation active and a call comes in, the application will continue to speak over the caller on the speakerphone. Other audio applications like the audio MP3 player, will mute the music during the call and then resume after the call. Waze client should do the same.
148 votesGreat news! The feature of preventing Waze audio when there is an active call is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

setup actions for use by trigger (app)
I use an app called trigger to start waze when I get into my car. It allows actions to be executed on apps. (Eg for music player it can start playing music, stop playing etc) Would it be possible to set actions that allow actions to be executed by such programs? Simple things like start navigating home/work/close?

Can Google Podcasts be integrated with the music player please?
I like to listen to podcasts, and I have been using Google Podcasts as my choice of player. It isn't integrated with Waze, so can it please be made available? I can still use it while I'm using the navigator, however it has to be playing in the background instead of playing within Waze.

Geotagged event triggers
Allow the user to define an event such as playing one of your own sounds, display one of your own photos or play a music track at or near specific places. Example uses - get onto a fast stretch of road and your music changes, and changes back when you get into town again. Get a mile from a toll booth and a note appears telling you how much money to have ready. Drive near a grocer and your recording says "don't forget to get the eggs". Go past a tourist attraction and a recording tells you about it. You…

Add favourite song button on players (spotify/tidal/youtube ect.)
In music apps we have got 3 buttons (left play/pause and right). I propose to add button "add to favourite (heart)" There are a lot of situations when you are driving, some random playlist is playing and one of the songs is so good you wanna add it to your favs - now you need to stop, switch to music app, add to fav and go back on road.
5 votesGreat news! The option to mark the song as favorite is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

problem!!!!Missing Section Controll Speed cameras !
In a lot of European countries you have speed-control via section-control, means:
the avgerage speed is measured of a certain distance by taking picture of car when entering and leaving the measuring section.
Unfortunatly currently you can not warn other users of such controls.
On contrary, such controls are only posted as stationary speed-control when entering, which is very misleadingI drive every day Germany swiss...500+ miles track . ( I deliver pockets)
I dont know why but the waze app doesnt sows for you the speed cameras / radars in swiss ,also no option to add this to…3 votes -
Android Auto Split Screen Support
In Android Auto full screen mode and using 2 apps for example Waze and YouTube Music, if you select music on the main screen (left) then the split screen (right) just shows Date/Time. Expecting Waze map to show in the split screen.
That's how it works with Google Maps. It shows up in the split screen if another app is in the main screen. Why can't it be same with Waze?

disable media pausing: give an option to disable media pausing.
Rarely want my media to be paused or muted when I'm driving. Please give option to disable media/music/podcast pausing. Waze seems to incessantly pause my media when it's running.

Don't connect to the speaker when voice is muted
I like to listen to music streamed via bluetooth from my phone. While running waze, even though I have the spoken navigation disabled, every time directions would've been announced, the music volume dips briefly. It appears that waze is trying to attach to the speaker even though it isn't saying anything. Please have it check for being muted before taking control away from other applications that use the phone's audio.

Android Auto Dashboard navigation information/Steering wheel control
Make Navigation information available in the Dashboard of the Car.
If I use google maps I have navigation information like "turn left in 400m" in the dashboard (next to the speedometer) and can use the main screen e.g. for music control or other apps.
Would be nice if Waze would also support the additional dashboard options.Also in google maps its possible to select the last locations in the dashboard with buttons on the steering wheel, but not in waze pleas add this also.

moving waze folder inside Android/data
Can you move the waze folder from memory's root to a folder like Android/data/com.waze)
The reason is to keep clean the memory's root to makes easier for user to find important folders like DCIM, Downloads, Music and such on a glimpse. Also, folders in this form are deleted automatically upon app uninstallation, making it cleaner and may make it compatible with app2sd.

easier control of voice notifications
Somewhat of a 2-in-1:
Generally I like minimal notifications, but when I need full guidance, it would be nice to get to it quickly without having to delve into the menus to switch it.
Also, it would similarly be nice to have a quick way to switch between the "always play through speaker" and allowing it to navigate through the bluetooth, because my listening habits vary. Sometimes I use my bluetooth to listen to music from my phone, and sometimes I use my regular old radio (in which case the Waze notifications all disappear into the abyss).

Ad Skipping
I would love for Waze to automatically "watch this short video for 30 minutes of ad free music" on Spotify. The only way to select it is by clicking on the spotify app, opening it, then selecting the option to watch the ad, which can be very distracting and dangerous. Every time I will want the 30 minutes of ad free music!

Less verbose mode (few short instructions)
I would like to have a "less verbose mode" where the voice navigation would just say a few short instructions, like "turn right" for example, without all the verbose stuff like street names; or "speed trap", without all the useless words around it.
The reason is that sometimes I like to listen to music, or audiobooks, or having a conversation while driving, and I find that Waze verbosity is very annoying.13 votes -

Report button visible on touch
I've noticed the beginnings of screen burn-in on my 2 month old GS7. There is a ghostly action button in the bottom right of my screen visible. Could you please consider making the action button visible on touch, same as the map controls. This would greatly reduce the opportunity for this burn - in to occur.
