Using streetview to show actual turns on screen
I would like to use streetview pictures at junctions and exits so waze can show the actual situation on screen and highlight the lanes that people need to be in to follow the designated route.
Arrows can be put as an overlay on the streetview picture to properly prepare people for what is coming.

When I connect my phone to Android Auto, do not force me to display Waze on my car's infotainment screen
Version 4.93.5.11 for Android forces me to display Waze on my car's infotainment screen. When I connect my phone to my car, I prefer to display Google Maps on the infotainment screen (via Android Auto) and display Waze on my phone's screen. That way, Waze provides me to with look-ahead traffic alerts, but Google Maps is available for navigation, adding side trips, etc.
However, with this latest version of Waze, once I connect my phone, Waze displays on the phone's screen a message directing me to my car's infotainment screen and Android Auto.
I can still run Google…

CarPlay vertical does not show car on the screen
I have a portrait mode CarPlay screen and when Waze is full screen, my vehicle not on the screen. When I go to the CarPlay dock screen, Waze is the top half of the screen and it works fine.

I would really like to see Waze available in CarPlay Split Screen
Now that this functionality has been made available it would be really good to be able to use Waze in Split Screen so that I can see Music and Waze rather than Music and Apple Maps and therefore have to revert back to Full Screen for Waze.
1 voteGreat news! Waze is now available on the CarPlay Dashboard. Thanks for your suggestion.

Slightly larger "Menu" screen for safety/efficiency
If the "Menu" box was just a bit larger, all the options within would be viewable without having to scroll down to reach those bottom choices. This would bemore efficient but, more importantly, it would make using the "Menu" far SAFER than it is now. Just a slightly larger "Menu" screen would accomplish this.

Allow manual override of screen orientation
Since a recent update my car Android HU is displaying the map centred to the right of the screen. I assume it is sensing landscape orientation and arranging the map beside the whereto and info boxes but my screen is actually 12" portrait orientation. The Waze landscape layout puts useful map content off screen. Either the auto orientation needs to be fixed to work correctly for non-phone screens, or provide an override to force the most appropriate display mode. Thanks.

Clear alert off screen
When you have a report on the screen and I dont acknowledge it, can you please clear it out of the screen instead of leaving it on for the rest of my 45-minute drive? It is distracting, and by the time I press an option, it is not correct because I am way past that point. It is confusing, and when I want to report an alert, it gets in the way and won't let me send an alert.

Map should prioritize route ahead on screen
In addition to "Keep map north up" on or off (the only options I see currently), I'd like an option that does an offset to navigation direction (map north up "off") where it tries to fit more of the road ahead on the screen.
I regularly drive curvy roads and it shows me no warnings ahead on the highway when the road just curves left or right straight off the screen. What I'm suggesting would not keep North up, but keep the road ahead up and on-screen more often. This is probably more helpful on highways than…

Since Brazil has a lot of potholes, I think there should be a shortcut for potholes on the screen for the drivers to be able to report

Show remaining KM / Miles till next turn on the "Always on display" screen.
Most of the time, we drive for many Miles / KM with no change, and this screen remains on for a long time-wasting our battery + burning the screen (which happened to me with two devices already) + it prevents us from touching the phone every second, safety first!
My suggestion is to add the remaining KM / Miles to the "Always on display" screen (the feature that shows the time and date when the screen is off), which most of the smartphones have already, a small line of text that shows only the remaining KM / Miles + name…1 vote -

Keep waze on top
When making a phonecall via hands free, waze should stay on top. It's pointless showing the call app, because 1. My screen then locks, so I can't unlock without touching the phone. 2. I can't get directions while I am on the outgoing call...

Take advantage of AMOLED screens
AMOLED screens have the capability to reduce battery life when used correctly.
When a user either selects Night Mode or Waze automatically selects Night Mode, please change the background to solid black instead of dark blue. This will greatly reduce the amount of LEDs being used by the screen, thus saving battery life.
Or if a users wish to keep the dark blue background, have an option to select "Dark Night" mode.53 votes -

input from screen
when a screen for choice pops up, your choices are in boxes that are up and down from each other. when you go to make a selection and you’re traveling a bump can make you select the wrong choice. My suggestion is to make the choices with boxes on the left or right that way a bump won’t give you the wrong answer.
