Minions Theme Breaks Landscape Mode on Android.
When I switched to the minion theme, the map would no longer switch to landscape mode on my Android phone. I deleted all data and restarted waze, and landscape worked again. I loaded the minion theme again and Landscape broke again.

Waze app bug - super annoying
app runs in background after disconnecting from Apple CarPlay. Please fix this! It’s a battery killer, and super annoying to have to manually close after every trip. It’s enough to uninstall the app.

Avoid speed cameras on routes
Would love to see an option to avoid routes that take you past speed cameras

The speed trap alert sound should consider the speed limit of the trap
The speed trap alert sound should consider the speed limit of the camera and not the current road the driver is on.
In situations where the driver is on a fast road and is about to exit to a slower road with a speed trap, the driver does not receive the sound alert as they should if they were already on the road with the camera.
For example: A driver is driving at 90 km/h on a road with a speed limit of 100 km/h, following a route already indicated on Waze. The driver is going to take an exit to a slower road with a speed limit of 80 km/h. On the slower road, there is a speed camera (80 km/h) less than 400 meters from the exit the driver will take. Approximately 500 meters before the speed camera, still on the fast road, the driver receives a blue pop-up for the speed camera but does not receive the sound alert indicating that they need to reduce their speed because the alert is considering the current road's speed limit and not the speed limit of the road where the camera is located.

KITT from Knight Rider voice pack
So, it'd be nice to have a "Customize your drive" option that is all Knight Rider...KITT as the voice; KITT as the car icon on the map; And maybe a Knight Rider-y design, to look like KITT's voice modulator or part of the dashboard. Something cool like that...If this is not achievable, at least just the voice would be cool. And it would HAVE to be William Daniels. Either re-record his voice or use the ones he recorded for the Mio Knight Rider GPS back in like 2008. I'm not sure if it would be possible to use those voice files or not, but that would be convenient, since William Daniels is now 97 years old. Anyway, a permanent Knight Rider voice or theme pack would be nice. Not something that's only contracted for a certain amount of time, but something that will continue to be on the app.

Speedometer position Android Auto
Actual Speed and Limit icons to be set closer to driver position (left or right of screen) depending on driver position in settings.
On car displays having the icons on opposite side can take the attention off the road for too long when trying to observe the speed limit / actual speed.8 votes -
Button customization on Waze with Android Auto & Carplay
• My suggestion is for the following feature: Adaptive Button Placement/Customizable Controls
• My suggestion solves this problem:
• Convenience during Driving: Allowing users to position buttons based on the side of the road they are driving on could make the interface more convenient and accessible, reducing the need for awkward movements while driving.
• Road Safety: Avoiding stretches and dangerous movements to reach buttons could contribute to safer driving, reducing distractions and improving focus on the road.
• Interface Personalization: Allowing users to position buttons as they prefer could offer a more personalized experience, adapting the interface to individual preferences and enhancing overall user satisfaction.
• Adaptation to Different Driving Contexts: In countries where driving is on the left or right, the ability to customize button positions could improve the usability and ergonomics of the app to accommodate various driving modes.
• In more words:
I frequently use Waze with Android Auto, and I’ve noticed that the buttons for destination search and hazard reporting are positioned on the opposite side compared to the driving side. I would like to suggest considering the option to customize the position of these buttons based on the side of the road the user is driving on. For example, in countries where driving is on the left, it might be more convenient to have these buttons on the left side of the screen, and vice versa, or even allow users to place them wherever they prefer on the screen.
This not only would make searching and reporting more convenient but could also contribute to safer driving by avoiding hazardous movements during navigation!If you are a Beta tester and you want to upvote this idea also on Discuss here's the link:

Highway's Rest Area and Parkings
I would like to propose to include on the maps the location of the Rest Areas and Parking along Highways and Local Roads. This would be really helpfull on long trips.
Also the notification of the nearest Gas station would be an asset to the application.

Better navigation for electric vehicles
I think Waze can make a very big impact by greatly improving navigation for electric vehicles.
Given that the charging structure in Europe is now largely very good, scheduling the various charging points for a long trip is no longer necessary in advance.
A nice solution would be to show on the screen the next 3 (fast) charging stations, along with the total number of charging stations (red) that are there, how many are still available (green) and how many are out of service/in maintenance (gray) (like A better route planner does).
In addition, also the percentage of charge with which you arrive at the charging station, allowing you to choose whether you want to charge safely and arrive with a higher charge or whether you want to arrive with a lower percentage and thus achieve a higher charging rate.I think Waze can make a very big impact by greatly improving navigation for electric vehicles.

Police Alerts
A police report should notify drivers when driving within a certain radius of the report and not just for drivers that are traveling in the direction of the report. This would be very beneficial on highways and eliminate the need to report police twice for both sides.
To make this make sense, if you’re traveling southbound on a two-lane road and you make a police report, it will only alert the southbound traffic, not the northbound.

Allow photo evidence of map errors
Allow photo evidence of map errors.
Sometimes trying to explain what error happened while driving is difficult to upload (while driving) and difficult to explain (after the fact) but allowing someone to upload a photo of the map when it is performing an error is much easier. It’s 2024. Why isn’t this a thing yet?

Add “avoid freeways” to drop down menu on map screen.
It would be super useful to have the option to avoid freeway’s using the drop down list instead of having to scroll through all the preferences to find it. Especially once you’ve already started driving, and you want to change routes. It’s much more useful than “avoid ferries” when you live in a big city. I have 3 freeways near my home, and when I need to go just a few miles it always wants to put on a freeway just to have me get off one exit later.

Better Report Road Closure Support
This app is super useful, but today after serious flooding in my area I realized some major downsides... Please make it easier to report road closures!! Once you turn around, you can't report that the road behind you is closed and sometimes you need to move out of the way NOW! I wish I could still report after I've driven away. Also, if a road is local traffic only but fully closed further ahead, I can't report that the road is closed up ahead. Also, add a feature to report how much flooding there is when people report a flooding hazard, like "minor/moderate" or "road not passable" because people will report all water in the road as flooding. Thank you!

Locating fuel and restaurants
Why is it when I search for fuel or food, Waze will give locations in the opposite direction to where I’m traveling? If I’m traveling North, I don’t need locations that are south of my direction.
