Satellite layer in map editor
Show satellite images in map editor. Sometimes roads are missplaced and only way to fix them is to compare with satellite images.

Offer a satellite view of the map.
I like how Google maps gives me the satellite view. Why doesn't Waze do that?
320 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

satellite roads
I do understand the possible changes behind the scenes of the app but i honestly believe satellite roads is safer and more efficient for drivers as it provides a clearer view of the roads being driven on and not confusing drivers as it is confusing with cartoonish roads that nearly blend in together making it hard to understand which roads to take especially on highways. I have personally experienced not only myself but also seen other users of Waze experience missing exits and nearly and actually getting on to wrong exits because of the confusing “cartoonish” Waze maps. These situations…

Request for Satellite Map View in Waze
Hello Waze Support Team,
I’m writing to request that Waze add an option to view the map in satellite mode. The app currently only shows the default map style, and having a satellite view would be very helpful for navigation and for recognizing locations more accurately.
Many navigation apps offer both standard and satellite map modes, and I believe this feature would greatly improve the user experience in Waze.
Thank you for considering my suggestion.
Kind regards,

satellite errorI "lern" roads by using front camera
Hi - so my idea is about dealing trouble with satellite error. I think that a good solution will be to "lern" roads by using front camera that in times (like this days in israel) that there is no single "waze" will continue working based on recognizing place from front camera and placed the location on the map based on data that our system got by learning the view from previous drivers.

Deleted road segment should reveal satellite map before saving (so it can be confirmed).
Currently, if you see a road segment you suspect is in the wrong place, you can delete it, but you can't see what's under the segment (on the satellite map) until AFTER you save...so if you're wrong, you need to re-draw the road, etc.

Hello to you
Driver uses a lot of application, lodged in a situation that I sometimes there is no satellite reception, but I'm not aware of that, because there is no audible alarm that.
A situation that I was going in accordance with the voice guidance of the app, as long as no other guidance I go straight ... but what happens to that directive because there is no satellite reception, and I do not know about it and go straight and wrong way ?? If I was told that nobody had a voice warning satellite reception, I2 votesThanks for reaching out.

Add an Undo / Revert Button to "View History"
Sometimes edits are made not following the guidelines or not reflecting the actual road conditions (the editor thinks what is seen in the satellite imagery / Street View is current).
Since the history of the objects is already tracked, a revert button should be simple enough to implement and can save valuable edit time.

Childs voice guidance near schools/etc.
https://www.if.se/web/se/om/fakta/slowdowngps/pages/default.aspx
Slowdown GPS works just like a standard satellite navigator in addition to an important point: when driving in areas where there are often children, replacing the usual GPS voice automatically added to a child's voice.

Different types of maps
I use Waze from a lot of time and I really like it, but it would be better if it had more kinds of maps other than the normal and the map editor one (like satellite maps and maps that show various conditions) like on Google Maps.

Faster map when moving
One thing I hate with Waze compared to google maps and directions is when you are in an area with where you have to turn onto several short roads and then turn quickly the map does not update your position quick like google does and I end up missing my turns. Satellite view would help with this.. I no longer use waze for directions. Just for the notifications along the route I am on. Also the speed does not update correctly.

Please REMOVE the SPEEDOMETER and Show the posted SPEED LIMIT instead!
I usually type long long long posts, but the title of this speaks for itself. Just a couple more details below.....
Nokia had a GPS app called HERE Drive. It showed you what speed you were going and what the posted speed limit of the road was. Very handy.
The release of Windows 10 has caused the HERE Drive app to be deleted and replaced with Windows Maps. Some of it the same and some different, but everything good was taken away. Windows Maps is horrible, and many people are now looking to choose a new app for navigation.

Burn it down and start over
Maybe be able to exit current navigation without having to unplug phone from car? Can’t exit from vehicle screen or app. It just keeps talking and giving directions you no longer need and have no ability to input new without closing app, unplugging and starting over. Unsafe and laughable.
Add waypoints?
Satellite imagery?
Can’t believe my friend actually likes this app.

STOP 180° car rotation when standing still
So I come to a stop light, and after a while, my car and map (not the screen) rotates, I guess, as it thinks I actually did make a U turn. Problem is my speed is 0km/h. It happens even when you have a destination to navigate to, and then, all of u sudden, I'm turned around and I'm being shown to make first to the right. I start driving, the whole thing rotates ones again, and I miss my left turn !?!?! I think it's because it get's a satellite position which shifted a bit, so it thinks that…

Soon turn notifications
I need sooner notice of a turn. With a 14’ trailer full of equipment I need sooner notifications of a turn. At 50 mph there is no way to stop or slow down when I have very little notice of a turn.
I need several notifications: 1/4 mile, 1500 feet, 1000 feet, 500 feet, 100 feet.
If there was a setting to set this it would help.

Route through road closures
During last week Verizon had to support the first responders was satellite assets for their communications. We were able to go through road closures. I would like the ability to turn off the reroute around road closures so that the people that can actually go through the road closures can be routed to their destination lot faster because of Waze and other map programs we could not rout ourselves to the locations that we needed to go to, I am Sure that the mini first responders that were at the Ruidoso Fire had the same issue

Make the speedometer adjustable
Make the speedometer display adjustable to whatever the user sets. Just as a display. It should match the speed on the dashboard. Because that's what people rely on, not the satellite speed on their small screens.
If I'm driving 100km/h and the app keeps saying 90km/h then allow me to enter +10 constantly so it can match the speedometer on the dashboard.

New Navigation Vehicles
I'm not experiencing any problems. Waze is great... Better than Google Maps... Only thing I WOULD like to see is the satellite view on Waze, but that's minor...
I would simply like to suggest a new vehicle. May I suggest the 1. V-Series Cadillac Escalade & Escalade ESV, 2. Chevy Tahoe & Suburban High County and 3. GMC Yukon Denali & Yukon Denali XL?
I think these additional options will be very cool. Please also remember to add the panoramic mooroof...
Thank you in advance
