Display alphabet and voice guiding
Hello Waze developres!
I just drove through countries that use other alphabets than latin (cyrillic, greek). Waze gave me two nasty surprizes.
First: place names are displayed using the local alphabet, ignoring my interface language choice. Reading names / finding a place was impossible while driving, although i partially know those alphabets. Imagine having to stop on a highway just to find a place. I had to blindly follow the path to intended final destination, without being able to recognize anything on route. I strongly suggest displaying place names in an alphabet matching the user selection for interface…

Heavy traffic duration display issue
I'm driving a Volvo XC40 with a Sensus operating system which famously displays Android Auto/Carplay on roughly half of it's 9" vertical screen. This means CarPlay has a width of 748 pixels, and this leads to a problem with how Waze displays how long I'm sitting in heavy/standstill traffic. Since I don't see any image upload option here, I'll use an image hosting service to point out the problem.
When using Waze in full screen, the app cannot display the heavy/standstill traffic duration: https://imgur.com/a/a45VG9F
The only workaround is using the app in Split Screen mode: https://imgur.com/HjpCsIG

Display current speed and limit when approaching speed camera
Currently speed camera alert covers whole bottom screen and hides current speed and allowed speed.
It would be super useful even just to see allowed speed!

Display caller id for incoming calls
I'd like too see the caller id of an incoming call displayed somewhere while running waze. At this point that's about the only weakness I find. Waze needs to maintain basic phone function.

Display road number
Hello,
I’ve noticed recently that the road numbers (eg M6 or A72) are now in a coloured box with frequently white font which is very difficult to read. I have to put on my glasses specifically to be able to read the nummer indication which brings extra risk. Why was this changed from easy readable font to something ‘fancy looking ‘ that is much harder to read and can cause accidents? Please revert or provide an option for high contrast and better readability again.3 votes -

Road goodies icons smaller or display under other objects
I understand the incentive idea of road goodies, and also understand you can just turn them off. But I would prefer another option which is either to make them smaller in size or be "under" other items (IE: roads, route, traffic coloring, etc.)

In-app option to turn off familiarity capping
Give the users the option to always display Speed Cameras and Hazards that familiarity capping would otherwise remove from the display.

Streamline CarPlay display
I totally appreciate turning off the ability to add comments to traffic reports while on CarPlay. But if they're not going to expand so I can read something someone's already commented, can those green bubbles stay off the map?
For accidents and road work, it would be nice to be able to see which lanes are closed (if any) to avoid merging at the last minute.

Provide a way to reposition the compass when used on an automobile display
This is a request to allow the compass display to be re-positioned so as not to be covered up by the menu on the left side of the screen in my automobile display. This is not a technical issue with the program just a request for an additional feature.

display full address you’re arriving at
When you arrive at your destination, and the directions UI displays “you have arrived at…”, it should show the full street address with number, rather than just street name. Sometimes you forget after a long drive, especially if you’ve never been there before.

the map doesn't display properly for ETA maps for long drives.
the map doesn't display properly for ETA maps for long drives. I can see the whole map for a route under an hour (not sure of distance, assume average highway speeds), but the map glitches and zooms in on IDK what when I watch someone do a drive of over 250 miles.

Add Average Speed Display Next to Remaining Distance in Speed Camera Zones
I have a feature suggestion that could greatly enhance driver awareness and safety:
Please display the current average speed next to the remaining distance when driving in zones monitored by average speed cameras.Why this matters:
It helps drivers maintain the right pace throughout the entire zone. Reduces last-minute braking near the end of the zone. Makes the driving experience less stressful and more controlled.Other navigation apps are beginning to include similar features, and I believe Waze can do it even better.
If you find this helpful, please upvote so we can get this on Waze’s radar! 🙌
Thank…

Allow users to choose to display routes on their Phone instead forcing on the Android Auto
Allow users to choose whether to use their phone as Waze for routes or Android Auto as the main display, instead of forcing it to display on Android Auto. Some people want to stream music using Android Auto and use their phones to see directions, as it doesn't distract them from the road. Some head units in cars are positioned lower from the direction of the road and are more of a hassle to look at while driving.

EV charging stations that are mapped on GM should display charging details on Waze
At present, Waze doesn’t display critical EV charging information like charger type and power output for Google locations. Even when linking a Waze location to a Google location, these details aren’t automatically imported, as they are with opening hours. To provide accurate EV information on Waze, users are forced to manually input all relevant details for each charging station.

Prioritize Full CarPlay Integration: HUD & Instrument Cluster Directions
Hello Waze Team,
This post is to strongly urge the prioritization of full integration with Apple CarPlay to enable turn-by-turn navigation on built-in Head-Up Displays (HUD) and digital instrument clusters.
This remains one of the most critical safety and convenience features missing from Waze, and it's a primary reason why many drivers reluctantly switch to Apple Maps when using CarPlay.
The Technical Framework Exists
We understand that enabling this feature is entirely possible within Apple's provided framework. The process is initiated by implementing the mapTemplateShouldProvideNavigationMetadata(_:) delegate method. By returning true from this function, Waze can signal to CarPlay that…
