Change colour of car on “Vehicle on Shoulder” alert icon
When submitting a report and looking at the possible report types while driving. From the corner of one’s eye the “Vehicle on shoulder” alert icon and “Object” icons are very similar.
I suggest the colour of the vehicle in the “vehicle on shoulder” icon be changed to a different distinct colour that also accounts for colourblind people.
If the vehicle was blue or green for example it would be easier to quickly tell the icons apart. Otherwise I feel like I need to distract myself from driving to double check the description next to the icons before confirming the report.

Feature request - ability to specify which lane is affected
I wonder if it would be possible to add an extra screen where you can specify where a hazard is - e.g. a pothole or object in the road. It’s not useful on a 3 lane motorway to be informed about a pothole in lane 3 when you’re driving in lane 1!
Additionally if a feature could be added regarding reporting things on the other side of the road - e.g. roadworks that are in the lane going in the other direction but not affecting your lane.

Use clear, distinctive voices
I've been using Waze for a while, but the new voice in the UK is not clear; bland and muffled compared to the old one. Turning the volume is annoying, especially since this is only a recent problem.
Since it makes the directions indistinct, Waze is less useful than it was.
Since it's distracting to try to understand it, continuing to use Waze has become a safety issue.3 votes -
Driving with friends
I usually travel with my friends, each one with his own car, and we like to stick together. It will be useful if we can create a group of friends in app, to share a route for everybody to follow, to see the live location of every member of the group, to see their ETA to the meeting point, to alarm the group if something happens, to see if I leave the group's original route, to call the group for a rest stop.

Navigation by car type, fuel economy.
Update vehicle types to EV, PHEV, Hybrid, Petrol and Diesel. Then show routes most economical based on vehicle types (mostly petrol, diesel and Hybrid).

Dark mode
Dark mode doesn't always work correctly according to the phone settings for whatever reason so just make a toggle on/off switch from the car display touchscreen. Do this yesterday as it's very needed.

“Back” button in Reports
I noticed that when you want to report something (hazard, blocked lane, police, etc…) sometimes I may press the wrong category for what I want to report, but there’s no “Back” button, only “Cancel”. But there’s problem with cancelling, that is you lose the exact location you passed and if you report again it may be misaligned.
There should be an option for a back button to search for other categories in case you misclicked in a category that is not the one you wanted to report initially. This way, the system still holds your “original” location when you pressed…

Kevin 'Bl**dy' Wilson Voicing directions
Hi Team,
As I live in country Australia, I'd love to have one of our icons, Kevin bloody Wilson, giving me directions. He is a bit of a legend in Australia for his comedic songs (although they can contain a bit of sexual content). I feel he would make a great addition to the lineup for us Aussies and I personal would get a good laugh at him!

Tagging editors in a map comment
It would be nice if there was a possibilty to tag an editor (e.g. an AM) in a map comment box. A type of alert can be a notification or an email, depending on the user's settings.

speed control
Instead of just a small circle of red around the speed when the driver is exceeding the limit, the entire screen could flash red . This would make it more obvious to the driver that they are speeding. Not all navigation screens are high set.

Alert popup windows cover vital information
On android auto, the alert popup windows cover vital information such as time to reach destination and which lane to pick at the next crossroad. This is very annoying and potentionaly dangerous.
This does not happen on the phone display, even thought it is much smaller then the cars display.Could this be fixed so that the popup window would not cover other informations?
Thank you

Vehicle icons too big
Car icons way too large since recent update. Makes it extremely difficult to see roads and the general map. Nobody asked for extra large vehicle icons that look so cartoonish...please revert back!

Alternate route display should follow the setting for "Keep map north up"
If "Keep map north up" is off then alternate routes should be displayed with my position at the bottom of the screen.
This will make it easier to visualise alternate routes relative to my current position.
Also applies to the app but I'm only able to select one category.

Danger Zone
Cameras are placed in known danger zones.
Usually the danger is within 100m either side of the camera.
Sometimes it is not allowed to plot cameras.
But a general warning - danger zone in 200m - would be useful.3 votes
