Change the street name display
Displaying all the street names horizontally makes the names unusable since I can’t tell what street the name applies to. In the Live Map application the printing of the names follow the street. If some people want all of the names horizontal, why not offer both options via a personal setup?

Fade music on alerts/notifications/Turn-by-Turn
It would be really nice if Waze faded music during audio events (not pause.. pause is a little bit jerky and makes you lose the music beat)
I use my phone (Android) as a Media Center on my car, it controls the audio and video on it. I play music using it (outstanding equalizer settings and audio effects), and the fade function is really necessary so I don't keep distracting looking for corners on GPS.
Also, on my own opinion, fading looks real classy and professional.Original Google Maps' software does that fading, but I don't want to go back using it. Waze is amazing!

How about annoucing police or traffic jams by voice instead of pop ups.
Announcing in the voice warning police in area or traffic ahead in x miles.

Allow more granular control over notifications
I'd love to be able to adjust my notifications a bit more specifically than I can currently. For example, I want to turn off chit-chat notifications, and I'd love to have both an audio and visual notification for red light/speeding cameras, police, and severe traffic.

Add north south west east direction when reporting from iPhone
Add preset when reporting anything to waze via iPhone to show which direction drivers will see the report. Accident. Police etc. This also should show in the text description of the report. Same lane or other can help and this may show on the map. But it's hard to tell exactly what lane it's in. Ie, car stopped on shoulder may look on map like it's northbound lane when it's really south. Add direction of travel preset similar to same lane button.

Better iPad interface.
The iPad interface is a bit cumbersome to use while driving. I find many of the buttons are too small. I have my iPad docked in a RAM mount next to the stick shift, so its right next to my shift hand.
Different screens appear in different sizes (like the event selection screen is cut in half when reporting a hazard or similar).
Also, display of speed and similar information in the lower right should be larger, much like the turn-by-turn directions in the lower left.
I would also appreciate any prompt buttons to be larger. If the buttons could be twice the size, that would be great. I find the road/shoulder/weather buttons are the perfect size to tap with one hand while driving, and keeping your eyes on the road.The iPad interface is a bit cumbersome to use while driving.

Animal Crossing Hazard
I tend to be on the road often and absolutely love using Waze whenever I need a GPS. As someone on the road often, I tend to notice there are many times that there are sudden animal crossings or a lost pet on the side of the road. This does tend to be on highways where many people are going very fast and are not as careful with their driving.
I recently thought of the idea- I think Waze should include a button, under the hazard category where we could press some form of “careful animal crossing” button to warn other drivers there may be a sudden animal crossing or pet walking the side of road. This would alert other drivers, allowing them to drive with more caution to protect themselves as well as the animal.
I wanted to share this idea and see if it could be implemented in the app. I hope this could work.

Outlines for “area” place types (App/Livemap)
Currently, polygons representing “area” place types in the app and in Livemap are rendered in an overly simplified way, using a uniform fill with no visible outlines. This design choice reduces visual clarity when distinguishing between adjacent areas. In cases where one area is located inside another, the label of the inner area appears to “float” over the outer one, with no clear indication of its limits.
However, there are legitimate scenarios in which representing buildings or facilities as areas within a larger, usually enclosed area is both correct and necessary — especially in complex urban environments such as universities, airports, administrative centers, and similar locations.
It is also worth noting that this limitation does not apply to green areas (nor to police areas, which are rendered in red on Livemap), which can coexist within regular areas without causing the same visual conflicts.
Given this, I propose that Waze restore the display of subtle visual outlines for “area” place types. This simple change would improve map readability and better align the use of area places with real-world mapping needs.

App/livemap: bordas para locais do tipo "área"
Atualmente, os polígonos que representam locais do tipo “área” no app e no Livemap são renderizados de forma excessivamente simplificada: seu preenchimento é uniforme, sem bordas. Essa opção de design compromete a legibilidade da separação visual entre áreas contíguas. No caso de áreas dentro de outras áreas, o rótulo textual da área menor passa a “flutuar” sobre a maior, sem distinção de limites.
Todavia, há cenários legítimos nos quais seria correta e necessária a representação de edificações dentro de uma área maior, geralmente cercada, especialmente em ambientes urbanos complexos (universidades, aeroportos, centros administrativos etc.).
Vale observar que essa limitação não se aplica às áreas verdes (nem às áreas policiais, que são vermelhas no Livemap), que podem coexistir dentro de áreas comuns sem gerar os mesmos conflitos visuais.
Diante disso, proponho que o Waze restabeleça a exibição de bordas visuais, ainda que sutis, para os locais do tipo “área”. Essa simples mudança alinharia melhor o uso desse tipo de local às necessidades reais de mapeamento.

There is no option to add multiple stops, it would be really nice to have this feature on my navigation. In this way, I won't need to switch to other maps app
