Hide notification bar in Android
Hiding the Notification bar would give a little more screen real estate, but the big deal here is that newer phones have AMOLED screens which can suffer from burn-in, and the notification bar in Android with the screen turned way up while navigating for hours is surely going to cause this. Can we PLEASE hide the notification bar so it doesn't damage our screens? Nexus One, Desire, Incredible, likely others will all be possibly impacted by this.
8 votesthis will not solve the issue with these screens, as waze has its own bar (right below the notifications bar) which will not be removed. So we need to think of a better solution that will prevent the burn-in, but hiding the notifications bar will not help.

Speed camera alert distance
It would be very useful to be able to increase the distance at which speed camera alerts are triggered. Currently they are way too short (too little notice) - speed cameras can now detect cars at a significant distance away, and multiple times I've had the alert triggered only after I could see the camera and it could see me (usually on a motorway bridge).

Bring back Deer sightings on or near road. Simply , road hazard is insufficient to warn drivers.
Being back deer on side of road or in road is much better than just saying road hazard . A simply road hazard does NOT give drivers proper heads up to avoid killing the animals and possibly themselves

Add option to report animal on road
Not sure why this was removed but living in a rural area this will be very useful

Wildlife
Within the hazards section there should be a report button for wildlife helping warn motorists to remain vigilant, which when reported also sends an alert to the respective wildlife protection agency in that region to send a dispatch to prevent the animal from causing an accident and becoming injured. This would be extremely useful in Australia as we have an abundance of wildlife that resides near our roads .

Adding an exemption pass for Blackwall and Silvertown tunnels When you have disable badge
When you have a disable badge you can apply for congestion charge exemption. This is already a pass on the app you can add. However, this also allows you to go through Blackwall tunnel and Silvertown tunnel for free. So adding this exception should be updated. Since it always defaults to going over dartford bridge.

Customized alert distances
Since the recent release of changing the alert to 0.2 miles, makes police alerts a worthless feature because at highway speeds, at that distance, it's already too late. In fact, anything over 25mph would be too late at that point. How about a setting that allows the user to set that distance in the range 0.2 to 1 mile to make it more practical or just revert to the 0.5-mile default that was present before the latest release!

Speed Bump & Speed Camera
I was travelling by road in Oman and noticed many of the Speed Bumps & Speed Camera locations are not correct.
Maybe it's not updated. Is there an option for the user to update the speed bump & speed camera location.7 votes -
Potholes are problems on the roads. But long stretches of pothole-ridden sections are also an issue.
Potholes are problems on the roads. But there is something even more annoying, which is larger sections of the road that are completely holed or damaged. The suggestion is to create a new type of alert that is more lasting. Something saying "Damaged section ahead." Perhaps many countries do not suffer from this, but here in Brazil, whether in small towns or capitals, this is extremely common.

Improve usability for EV drivers
Please add more EV friendly information. Have no option to choose EV as fuel type and doesn't show charging stations. Since buying my car, I've actually found Google Maps a far better option but do miss the community reporting of Waze as its not as good in Google Maps

Push the start date limit for road closures an extra month in the future
Right now, map editors can place road closures at most one year in advance. When an event ends, they often announce next year's date. It would be handy if we could add those closures at that point, even if the event will take place like a weekend later next year. Now, we often have to set a reminder to add these next week or so. Therefore, I'd like to propose this limit gets pushed one extra month in the future, making the limit 12+1 months. It might be best to adjust this limit for some other related things, such as traffic events, as well.

50cc 45km/h Scooter navigation
I’d love to have a scooter navigation, that knows what the traffic situation looks like and that gives you the exact route. I live in the Netherlands and 45km/h scooters often need to switch between de cycling lane and the car lane, so it would be nice if the navigation would give you the exact route including when you need to switch from one lane to the other. First try this for the Netherlands as we drive a load of scooters and cycle a lot, and because of this, our traffic signs are good to follow which makes it easier to follow the rules and also easier to make this a real in app feature

Could we have a pause navigation feature
Could we have a pause feature, so your phone isn't telling everyone in the petrol station to turn left! You have to close the app and restart navigation if you need to stop somewhere, very annoying

Signal sonore, option jeune permis et ancienne voix de Vanessa
Ajouter une option qui lorsqu’il y a un changement de direction, on reçoit une petite alerte sonore au choix qui nous invite à regarder le GPS au lieu d’avoir une voix qui parle sans arrêt. Aussi une option pour les jeunes permis avec des limitations de vitesse adaptées. Et remettre l’ancienne voix française de Vanessa.
