1. Audible warning for speed cameras even if you're under the speed limit

   If you're going under the speed limit you don't get an audible warning for a speed camera. If the camera is after a limit change you may be under the limit when approaching but you can then accelerate above the limit and have no warning.

2. Changing Destination on Phone While Connected to Android Auto

   I want to change my destination on my phone while it's connected to my car through Android Auto, but I can’t type directly on the car screen. Currently, I have to unplug the cable to change the destination on my phone, and then plug it back in to reconnect to the car.

4. Car play ETA details override during upcoming Speed Camera Alerts

   Hello Waze Team,

   I would like to suggest an improvement to the Apple CarPlay experience when approaching speed cameras.

   Currently, when a speed camera alert appears, it temporarily replaces or hides important navigation details such as the estimated time of arrival (ETA), remaining distance, and trip duration. This can make it difficult to stay aware of key trip information while driving.

   I recommend maintaining the visibility of ETA, remaining distance, and travel time even during speed camera alerts, or displaying the alert in a way that does not override these essential details.

   This improvement would enhance usability and allow drivers to stay informed without compromising safety.

   Thank you for your continued efforts in improving the Waze experience.

   Best regards,A Waze user

5. Add warnings for PCN camera traps (mainly London)

   Like speed cameras, add PCN cameras (Moving Traffic Cameras) to Waze warnings please!!

   Over lockdown there've been several strange changes made to how traffic is allowed to use certain roads in London.
   Camera traps have sprung up all over the place to catch people out. These cameras give fines for using roads in ways which used to be totally acceptable before lockdown. Issuing £65+ fines for using a roads in what is suddenly the wrong direction, end to enter certain roads from, time of day, parking and so on.

   None of these changes in these roads use have anything to do with public safety they're just out to make money.
   I've been caught twice in the space of 2 weeks using roads which were always free, non restrictive, access a year ago. The signage is there but it's hard to break habits of a lifetime and from speaking to several Uber drivers who are on London's roads every day for a living I know the increase in these cameras in highly unusual places has had a massive impact on their income. They don't get paid a lot really and they don't get any kind of reduced fine just because they're drivers for a living.

   I think Waze would see an even bigger uptake in popularity if these camera traps were highlighted on their maps.

   Two examples are 'Manor Place Junction Braganza Street' in Southwark and 'Binfield Road' in Lambeth.

6. Quit Calling my Camera Enforced School Zone a "SPEED TRAP"

   Now Waze calls my Camera Enforced School Zone a "SPEED TRAP". If this is not changed immediately I will take Legal Action against WAZE. I am the Chief of Police in Fairmount, GA our Cameras are for a School Zone active only while children are on campus. We don't want the Negativity by you calling it a Speed Trap.

7. Trailer Speed and Seatbelt/Phone Cameras operating in Queensland

   Firstly I know there are posts regarding this including mine but I think this needs to be addressed with fresh eyes and open minds.

   I understand there is a resistance to showing the Seatbelt/Phone Cameras and I can see the thinking behind it but would like to suggest that a General Warning would be better than none.

   Now on to the main part of my idea which is only applicable if Waze have no intentions of giving Wazers three options to report these Trailer Cameras (Unidirectional QPS Speed Cameras, Bidirectional Acusenus DTMR Speed Cameras and the Acusensus Seatbelt/Phone Cameras).
   Instead of the algorithm (method) Waze is using at the moment what I am proposing is one that uses "Time Between" reporting to keep the report alive and not disappear (like they are now).
   For example if a Police Hazard report is lodged and expires and another comes in for the same location Four Hours or More later then the Hazard Report should stay up (it could be a Trailer Camera?), if this persists for more than four hours from the first report to the latest one then it is looking more like a Trailer Camera and should stay up even longer, possibly 24 hours.
   If the reports continue the next day then it should stay up until the required number of Wazers report it "Not There" or expire after eight days or more.

   Having observed them for a while now I have noticed the Police Icons disappear many times for long periods only to reappear some time later. I can now confidently identify Trailer Cameras using a simple spreadsheet and suggest the Waze app could do the same.

   There is also a flaw with Waze in that it seems it uses the same algorithm (method) for the populated roads as the less populated roads which disadvantages the Waze users in the less populated areas. It would be great if the app could allow for less traffic and produce a similar result for both scenarios improving the app for the remote motorist. Having said that I have also observed the Police Icons disappear in the Suburbs and think this would also be fixed by changing the algorithm to better suit these new Trailer Cameras.

   I must add there have been a large number in these Groups calling for an app that caters for these Trailer Cameras and the roads less travelled but my way of thinking is Waze is a good app so "why reinvent the wheel?".

   I know this suggestion is very long winded but I think it is important enough to hopefully plant a seed for change to make Waze an even better app. If you got to this line by reading it all, I thank you for your patience!

8. UI Problem: Speed camera\police alert covers the speed limit

   I was using Waze in horizontal mode last night - the speed limit and my current speed were displayed near the bottom of the screen in the middle horizontally. I noticed that when alerts such as Police ahead or Speed Camera in x feet were displayed the notification box covers key bits of the screen such as your current speed, the speed limit and your precise location.

   I think either the UI needs to shift up when the alerts are displayed, or the alert box needs to be constrained to one side of the screen.

   I did take a screen shot but it does not appear to be possible to attach that to this forum.

9. Use front-facing camera to do things (if available)

   I position my iPhone in a cradle that attaches to the windscreen, and I think that I'm not alone. This camera has a pretty unobstructed view of the road ahead, which Waze could use to produce awesomeness! I can immediately think of a number of cool things that you could do with this, depending on how much image processing you want to do. Here are some user stories for you :)

   ---

   As a: User concerned about recording details for insurance purposes in the event of an accident
   I would like: Waze to record the field of view in front of me on a loop of user-selectable duration and save that loop to my videos in the event of an accident (as detected by the device's accelerometer, or other means)

   So that: I can review the details of any incident at a later date

   As a: Waze user that likes to help other Waze users by posting traffic updates
   I would like: Waze to examine the field of view in front of the vehicle (in conjunction with the GPS-detected velocity) and automatically determine if the traffic is heavy, or and prompt me to see if I want to send an update (or just do it automatically, if I've given Waze permission to do so in some settings option)

   So that: I don't have to manually do this, and the frequency of updates can be greatly increased

   As a: Waze user that likes to help other Waze users by posting hazard updates
   I would like: Waze to examine the field of view in front of the vehicle and detect common road hazards (objects in the road, on the shoulder, etc)

   So that: I don't have to manually do this, and the frequency of updates can be greatly increased

   As a: Waze user that likes to help other Waze users by posting hazard updates
   I would like: Waze to examine the field of view in front of the vehicle and detect if traffic or hazards that have previously been reported are now not there

   So that: Other users don't get out-of-date information about events on their route

   As a: Waze user that is concerned about tiredness while driving
   I would like: Waze to monitor the driver's posture, eyes and motion via the front-facing camera and look for signs of tiredness
   So that: I can recieve a loud alert in the event that I inadvertantly become drowsy, which either suprises me into a more alert state so that I can safely stop, or alerts other occupants of the vehicle to the situation

   OK, that's some camera ideas. Here are some other ones:

   ---

   As a: Driver planning a long journey
   I would like: Waze to (have the option to) prompt me to stop approximately every two hours and propose some local stopping place (service station, restaurant, cafe, hotel, etc)

   So that: I find it more difficult to accidentally drive for unadvisably long periods

   As a: Driver that is travelling with at least one other person in the vehicle
   I would like: To be able to install a "Waze: Co-pilot" app on an iPad (Air, mini, pro, etc) that would interact with the current Waze app (lets call it "Waz; Navigator") and allow the vehicle's "co-pilot" to analyse various navigation options on the "secondary" device and make course changes that will be seen on the "navigator" device.

   So that: The driver doesn't have to be distracted with making changes and decisions while the vehicle is in motion

   As a: Driver, with a co-pilot receiving, receiving a prompt to stop
   I would like: Information to be presented to the co-pilot to be sourced from some third-party travel information provider, such as Trip Advisor

   So that: We can crowd source reviews of the standard of stopping places

   As a: Driver without a co-pilot receiving a prompt to stop
   I would like: To simply be told to stop "at the next available stopping place"

   So that: I'm not needlessly distracted from the task of driving the vehicle

   As a: Waze user who wants to see additional, non-traffic, information on the map
   I would like: To be able to see a variety of "overlays" on top of the current Waze map

   So that: I can see things like the wind speed and direction on the road ahead, or the amount of rain, or the temperature (in case of ice, for example), or the gradient of the terrain

   As a: Waze user that has placed the device out of easy reach
   I would like: Waze to listen for the direction "Waze!" and be able to perform various tasks through voice interactions
   So that: I can drive with minimal distraction due to trying to interact via touch
   [
   I'm thinking something like:
   "Waze, report heavy traffic"
   "Waze, report hazard on the shoulder of this carriageway"
   "Waze, plot route to <some kind of address>"
   "Waze, take me home"
   "Waze, reroute around an obstruction for 5 miles"
   ]

   I position my iPhone in a cradle that attaches to the windscreen, and I think that I'm not alone. This camera has a pretty unobstructed view of the road ahead, which Waze could use to produce awesomeness! I can immediately think of a number of cool things that you could do with this, depending on how much image processing you want to do. Here are some user stories for you :)

10. Waze on Android head unit: Send ETA by SMS or instant message via connected phone

    I have an Android-based head unit. It gets an internet connection from mobile data via Wifi tethering to my phone. It is also paired to my phone via bluetooth.

    I'd like to send my ETA on an SMS text to a phone contact on my connected phone, as opposed to email through the tethere internet connection.

    It would be good to see integration with other messaging & social media services, i.e. Whatsapp, Google Hangouts and Facebook.Messenger, for the purposes to sending ETA, or linking a tracking beacon.

11. Following the update of my Apple phone 12 Pr Max to IOS 16, currently 16.1 there is considerable battery drain and overheating of the phone

    Eversince I updated my iphone 12 pro max to IOS is whenever I use Apple Carplay and especially WAZE the phone overheats significantly in a very short timespan and also the battery drops dramatically in no time.
    Is Waze aware of this problem ? Are they doing something to fix it.
    The same issue does not occur when I use other navigation software’s in Apple Carplay.

    Please fix it as I can not continue using Waze with such dramatic battery use and overheating of the phone!

12. Please fix the CarPlay issues,

    Please fix the CarPlay issues. Directional information covers the speed limit, move the speed limit to the top left? Speed camera notifications cover too much screen, make these transparent? Show the average speed camera distance like on the mobile version of the app. After turning a corner the map takes too long to realise you’ve turned meaning you scan easily miss your next turn if it’s close after.

14. Update camera alerts

    Hi Waze team,
    I’ve noticed that some of the new speed cameras in Romania appear on the map but don't trigger any alerts or warnings while driving. It would be really helpful if these cameras could be included in future updates so that drivers can receive proper notifications. Thanks a lot!

18. Remove permanent "where to" and "my Waze" fields when phone is horizontal.

    I use Waze with my phone in a horizontal/landscape position. All is good if I set a location target and use Waze to guide me to it. But I sometimes I like to see the traffick volume without setting a destination. In this mode, Waze takes up a third of my map display with the "where to" and "my Waze" fields. I should be able to turn those off or they should auto disappear.
