Voice ads instead of popping ads that would block the navigation screen.
Hi Waze team, have an idea/suggestion...
Instead of popping out ads during users’ navigation, why not let the Voice Direction narrate the ads? So it would be a voice ad, like in the fm radio. And you can also add a cute lil “go-to” button on the navigation screen so users can tap on it and gets navigated to the shop/advertiser if applicable and necessary.
Reason being is; when you pop out ads while users are navigating, typically it would block the navigation screen, and users would just:
- either ignore with hopes that the ad would go…3 votesThank you for your suggestion! We try to make our ads as useful as possible to Wazers. An ad-free version is not planned for the near future.

The option to lock the use of your keyboard during the trip for Safer driving; Insurance Discounts and Gas Station Points
The option to lock your keyboard will allow you to drive without distraction and benefit with multilateral partnerships. If Waze can partner with Insurance companies or Chain gas stations the Wazer who selects the "Drive Mode" would gain points to either of the above for safe driving or gas discounts (two examples). The benefit would be to surrounding drivers and the Wazer themselves as they are earning a reward. We live in a "Points" game world and as Waze already gives you points these would be much more attractive as they will be able to be redeemable.
This will not…

Ride share directly from car's screen
Great app! One thing you should consider to add, a functionality to share your ride directly form car’s screen (CarPlay in this case); is very off hand to start a ride and if you want to share it with someone, you have to go back to your phone to do so.

Waze map not fully extended on the main car screen
Please update the application, so the Waze map is fully extended on the main car screen. Since the last round frame interface there is a gap of nearly 0.5cm on all 4 sides of the display around the map.

Android auto direction on second screen
On the Honda Civic, the directions (i.e. a picture of a roundabout with the arrow coming out the right point) appears on the other screen behind the wheel. Google Maps correctly interfaces with this, but Waze displays every roundabout as a full U-turn, take the exit you entered on. Could this be fixed?

Waze navigation screen needs to stay in front for phone calls
The settings option " keep waze on top when taking calls" does not work on Samsung phone. When either making calls or taking phone calls and trying to talk over the car speakerphone, the Samsung phone call screen pops up, completely blocking the waze navigation screen.

pre-select most commonly used updates into nav screen buttons
Have one main button on the navigation map screen that when pressed dynamically separates into 6 buttons (3 on the left [upper corner, midlevel, lower corner], 3 on the right). This would cut down on the clutter when an update is not needed.
Allow the user to customize these buttons to their most commonly used ones. For me, they would be car on the shoulder, heavy traffic, and hidden cop. If the update was on my side of the road, I would customize these to the right 3 buttons. If they were on the opposite side, I could customize these…

Screen damage caused by Hazardous report button
Watch out for heavy WAZE users...I have noticed that the Orange 'hazard' report button has caused a permanent feint ghost image on my Galaxy S6. Little bit disappointed with this. A fix on the button by developers would help. Perhaps a movable or minimised button. It's definitely there. Other users - check your phones. I use my app for about 10 hours a week.

"Favorite" Hazard Button on Main Screen
ADD single-push hazard button on main screen that activates "Vehicle Stopped on Shoulder Ahead," which has to be the NO. 1 hazard all drivers face and encounter.
Pressing 5 buttons to alert others of a "Vehicle Stopped on Shoulder Ahead" is a hazard itself. Now, we click the "Alert" button, then we click the "Hazard" button, then we click the "Shoulder" button, then we click the "Vehicle Stopped" button, then we click the "Send" button.
On my bi-weekly 3-hour trips, I go through that routine 20 times per trip. Clicking 5 buttons for ANYTHING discourages people from using that thing.

Screen dimming or even shutdown when the vehicle stops
Wase. Please create a screen dimming (or even shutdown) when the vehicle stops and automatically reactivate when moving again. This would be very good for nature (energy saving) and for increasing privacy and security inside the vehicle.
2 votesGreat thinking! The issue you raised has been addressed in a recent redesign. Hope you like it!
