The map should be able to display on the phone, even if CarPlay is active
Please can there be the option of keeping navigation running on the phone screen, even if CarPlay is enabled. CarPlay Display Units are often down low (where car radios used to be), and looking at that as your satnav is dangerous and distracting. Keeping the map on the phone will enable safer driving and a happier Apple and Waze customer base

Police alerts should be added to voice alerts (in alert only mode)- this cost me a driving ticket!
In “alerts only” sound mode I do not get police notification, only Speedtrap (stationary traps) so dynamic user-generated police notifications are not notified- this cost me a speeding ticket -+ driving school last week!

Report and block dangerous routes
I absolutely love your products, however there’s a major flaw in that you direct users through extremely dangerous areas in South Africa. This includes a well known Johannesburg hijack and robbery hotspot and yet I can’t report it nor block it on my route.

Reduce taps required from search to navigation
Currently from the time I see an address for which I've searched to when I'm able to just drive and see the map and directions, there are FOUR TAPS in between those two things happening.
Tap 1 — Seeing the address as text in search results.
Tap 2 — Seeing the address as an official box in results.
Tap 3 — Seeing the address on a map with parking options
Tap 4 — Directions calculated, and clearing option to choose routes.When a person is starting to drive, that's quite frustrating.
I just want to GO. Please reduce this to ONE.
The rest are unnecessary because:
1 — I've already confirmed my destination.
2 — The rest, like parking, can wait until later.Thank you

Select safer way by following someone if alternative route is similar time
Safely travel means to follow others. Like on festivals inside crowds ==> people tend to walk together = crowd pulls you. Basically we should drive in circles. While road has dashed line, we better don't want to meet many cars in opposite direction. This can avoid mamy accidents by front crash. Similar road arrangement can be seen ie. also on some festivals so it is not just a dream!! I prefer to come 10min late than never [+]. Waze should offer this always (on dashed line roads).

Please remove the wait time for the "go now" it's dangerous
Remove the wait time for the Go Now. If you miss an exit looking at that for a few seconds it can be dangerous

Single lane/double lane countdown
For roads that switch between single lane and double lane (in the same direction) forth and back, it would be nice to have a counter indicating how long it is left to next switch.
These kind of roads are common on the swedish country side.

One click navigation to Saved places after starting waze
You start waze everyday and you everyday pick one of 5 routes.
But you need 3-4 clicks to do so and after every step, you have to do 3-4 quick decision and reading. It takes you attention to waaay too long.Imagine new optional One click home screen:
- no map on home page (but yes, there are button to show map)
- precalculated routes to all of your saved places IS there
- all routes with 3 best variants, your preffered way is highlighted and Allways Shown, major issues highlighted
How it should be - sorry for not uploading picture:
1) WORK (see road details)
road 1 - 17 min. (through Main st.) (light traffic logo) - GO in 3, 2, 1..
road 2 - 27 min. (through highway) (*preffered) (accident) - GO
road 3 - 35 min. (through Jefferson st.) (hard traffic logo) - GO2) HOME - turned off - because you are at home and waze know it. (with option to turn it on if its just GPS issue)
3) Grandma house (see road details)
road 1 - 37 min. (through Lincoln av.) (*preffered)- GO
road 2 - 41 min. (through highway) - GO
road 3 - 55 min. (through Jefferson st.) (police logo) - GO4) GF house (see details)
road 1 - 10 min. (through Lincoln av.) (*preffered) (police) - GO
road 2 - 15 min. (through highway) (light traffic) - GO
road 3 - 25 min. (through Jefferson st.) - GOpros:
ZERO click to got big pictureONE click start to daily routes or even monthly routes
you can start it even if car, if you see accident or traffic. you have better info RIGHT NOW without a single click or scrolling on map, so you acn do it while driving in a second without toutching - MUCH safer
if ux ++ then much more users will come
cons:
waze will have to do very quick road calculations (which can be slower). but there should be Loading bar under every location in this case and you should click on your favourite location to load that first.
maybe there should be an condition - no load in 3 seconds -> show just map, or this load bar will just be over the map in packed version, so you will see the map and after every route is calculated, it gets bigger.everyone sees your saved places or favourite ways. but if you dont save places like girlfriend 1 and girlfriend 2, you are supersafe :-)
if your telephone is stolen, someone will see your adresses, but it can be seen even if they are just saved.

Vibrate Notifications
Give the user the option to turn-on "vibrate notifications" in addition to voice. Many times when driving I am distracted talking to a passenger or listening to the radio and miss a turn.
It would be great if my phone would also vibrate. I would like to have this option for police notifications as well.
If this were an option, then those that don't want vibrate notifications don't have to use it.9 votes -
Simple “beep” dictionary
Sometimes the voice guidance may be annoying.
Wile during silent navigation you might miss a turn.
Please add an option for a single “beep ” a few meters before the turn, and a “beep beep” warning just before the turn.9 votes -
Category Icons and Provider indicator in Search Autocomplete results
When we view Search autocomplete results, and even when we view "more" results
* Show category icons, so we can see the difference between a grocery store, a gas station, and a bus stop. This icon could be in the donut hole in the middle of the pin icon.
* Also indicate which are from Waze and which are from external providers (perhaps by putting a blue colored pin for Waze results and a gray colored pin for Google results, for exampleUse case:
If I search for "Giant Eagle Verona" in Pennsylvania, USA, the results include
* The Giant Eagle Grocery store in Verona PA (waze result)
* A Bus stop on Verona Rd in another town (Google result - named "Giant Eagle (Verona Rd) at Entrance")
* A GetGo gas station in Verona PA, a couple blocks from the grocery storeThis can be a little bit confusing to the user. How can they be certain if the first result is the correct one? Providing readily-available information like the category (indicated with a picture / icon) would make it easier to make a correct decision.
And would also showcase Waze results, which are quite often more accurate than Google Maps search results.

Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Currently Not Planned, since we finalized our plans for 2024 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
We hope to include it in our plans for later down the line.

BLOQUEAR O CELULAR DURANTE O USO DO APLICATIVO
Apesar de outra pessoa já ter dado esta opinião eu gostaria de reforçar a importância de manter bloqueado o celular durante o uso do aplicativo. No Brasil o roubo de celulares durante deslocamento no transito é comum. Os assaltantes vendo que o celular está no waze sabem que o mesmo se encontra desbloqueado e fazem o que querem. Acessam nossa agenda, nossas redes sociais, nossas configurações, nossas fotos, nos deixando muito vulneráveis. Por favor considerem a ideia de existir a opção de bloqueio do celular durante o uso do aplicativo para segurança do motorista.

Se déclarer "Conducteur écolo", ou "conducteur vert"
Bonjour, au siècle du réchauffement climatique, de plus en plus de citoyens cherchent à avoir des comportements plus compatibles avec une consommation plus responsable, en particulier d'énergie... Waze pourrait contribuer à renforcer ces comportements vertueux en permettant à ces conducteurs de se déclarer "conducteur écolo" en expliquant ainsi pourquoi ils roulent à 120 (ou 110) au lieu de 130... Cette identification des conducteurs écolos renforcerait 1. leur engagement personnel, 2. la bonne compréhension des conducteurs entre eux sur les routes... 3. la protection de la planète (courbe de consommation et d'émission CO2 très croissante avec la vitesse...) 4. des économies pour ces conducteurs...

Why are traffic jams on highway not announced? This seems like a major need going from 65mph to 0?!
Everything else is an audible, verbalized announcement. Why are traffic jams on the highway not an audible alert to the driver? I find this to be a major miss currrntly.

Hola, para llegar al destino Las Trancas en Chile, waze lleva a los turistas por Bulnes, y eso es totalmente incorrecto
Favor modificar esa ruta y que los haga venir por la ciudad de Chillan, ya que la mayoria de los turistas usan waze para llegar y se pierden!

Option to hide "Select vehicle type" button
I stopped needing to use Waze for a while, so I'm not sure when it was added, but one of the "new" changes I noticed right away when using it recently, and that I absolutely hate, is the "Select vehicle type" button that is now ALWAYS visible. That makes no sense. I can't imagine many people are switching vehicle types on a regular basis, and it should be optional so those that are can have it there and those that have no need for it don't have it sitting there being distracting. And even people that do have a use for it would be served just as well with a button with a picture of a car on the bottom toolbar, out of the way, not ON THE MAP..

Media controls for carplay
With Carplay and cars that do not have touch screens (or media controls on dashboard - like Mercedes C and GLC class) there is no way to control media playing now. So a podcast, or apple music, google music - whatever may be playing in the background, just keeps going. To control it, one has to switch apps and in many cases, the app is not available for carplay so you cannot even do that. Could you add skip forward, skip back and pause to Waze to control the currently playing carplay sub-app? Would be HUGE.
