Black direction bar on top enlarges when hwys change and never shrinks back to the smaller version of itself unless you click on the map
Black direction bar on top enlarges when hwys change and never shrinks back to the smaller version of itself unless you click on the map screen or the report button. It will keep this larger view the whole trip if not manually tricked back to it’s normal size. Takes up most of the phone screen. Not sure if this is where to report this issue.

Train crossings and train stoppage.
Okay, I thought your app had everything until today. I ran into a slow train crossing. This is a difficult one because trains are there and then not there. I would like the ability to report trains and maybe speed/length in general terms. Then there are the trains that just stop on the crossing for an extended amount of time. Those would be very helpful to report. But, at least being able to report the train is crossing and direction of movement will help people I think.

provide a Navigation Prompt whenever the road name changes.
This is needed in two scenarios:
When a turn from Smith Ave to Jones Street, for example, is slight enough the client provides no direction. No matter how slight the angle of entry to a new road is, the client should say "turn right" or "slight right" on the road with a different name than the current road. This is especially confusing if Waze is running in the background, since my eyes are telling me I'm at an interchange and Waze isn't providing direction.Also, when the road you are driving on changes names but continues straight in…

Add pause option for stops
Add pause option to client, that could be activated when stopping by at a gas station or other places, so that heavy traffic is not indicated. It could unpause automatically when the car start moving

Show arrows on map to indicate the road driving direction
When stuck in traffic and waze doesnt give options for alternative routes.
It would be helpful for the driver to see the further road directions for manual instant planning.1 vote -

Show Roadshields without voice output
It would be great to show Roadshields on the smartphone client without voice output.
At the moment we can show "straight ahead" without voice instruction with the lane assistant tool on WME. This function shows the detail "continue straight" only (without voice output).
It would be great to setup Roadshields and give them a flag "show only, without voice output". Roadshields are a powerful tool and can help to find the right direction. But a voice output isn't necessary always.32 votes -
Re-enable Other Side Police Reporting
Otherside Police Reporting- This was probably one of the best features of the App- other than the same side regular police notification. It gives a warning for less traveled roads that may have a Waze user traveling in the other direction on a less traveled road whereas a same way traveler has not yet passed and left an Alert. PLEASE BRING THAT FEATURE BACK ASAP!

Search bar covers directions
Your search bar will pop up on the top after navigation starts. It covers the turn by turn directions. You have to tap into it and than back out to dismiss it which makes it super annoying.
7 votesSearch bar automatically hides after some time when driving without navigation.

Show and announce destination upon auto-suggestion navigation start.
When starting navigation via auto-suggestion the driver in fact does not know where to until arrival :) which is sometimes fun, sometimes not. This is not related only to home/work , but also to calendar entries, when skipping one event for the next one calendar based destination takes me to the first place. I would rather be offered a bunch of 3 most probably destinations to choose from rather than stopping the naviagation just to know where to. The destination address shoud be clearly stated on the routes and routes detal views.

Automatically start saved route when in car (Android Auto/Apple Carplay)
It would be cool if you could save a router and set it to start automatically the next time you connect to android auto/apple carplay.
It would be a neat little time saver.
For people without auto/carplay this feature could use a specific Bluetooth device as car detection.

waze forces me to switch out of spotify at start up
Everytime I opened the spotify app at fresh launch, the waze automatically switches me into the waze app to start driving and its getting a little tedious to close waze so I can listen to music without waze interfering [I am using the galaxy z fold 4)

Disable/option iPhone touch-rotating map
When navigating with my iPhone I usually want to zoom in and out using the pinch movement as most apps use, but half the time trigger the touch to rotate map feature, which I never really need to use.
My suggestion: Disable this (the map will still rotate when you are heading in a certain direction, which is all anyone should need it to do) or at least have an option to turn it off.

Add more levels too Avoid Highway option
With the Avoid Highway option off, Waze is way too aggressive in routing to freeways. The the Avoid Highway on, all types of highways are avoided from minor to freeway. There should be additional options to Avoid Freeways, Avoid Major Highways and Freeways.
Yes, Waze is supposed to figure out the best route based on information without this level of direction, but in fact it does not, at least in some areas. These options would allow some user input based on experience in directing the routing.
This would be especially useful for trips that include multiple type of environments…

Include roundabout warning in Navigation
Waze should advise drivers when approaching a roundabout to give way to traffic on roundabout as well as which exit to take or straight through direction. Many Uber drivers seem to not know to give way to traffic on roundabouts and take direction literally.

keep directions on the screen
Using Waze is for directions of not knowing where to go so I think you need to go back to the small alerts on the screen instead of taking up the directions spot and having them disappear. It’s very frustrating trying to find your way through a city you’ve never driven in before when the directions keep disappearing to alert you that there’s a car on the side of the road.
31 votesGreat thinking! We’ll share with the team; they’re always interested in new feature ideas.
