Unblock phone sleeping when idle or parking - to preserve battery
It happened to me several times and I find it very annoying.
When I park the car waiting for someone out if I leave phone in the car when I reach my destination and I forget to turn it off, Waze will prevent the screen from turning off and will drain out my battery quickly.
My suggestion is that I'd Waze detects that I'm parking or not driving for over a minute or so, it should automatically suspend the navigation activity and enable screen shutdown and sleep until user starts driving again.6 votes -

Integrate Waze with Google nest cameras
It would be great to be able to connect to Google Nest cameras/doorbell through Waze while driving. Presently, if my phone alerts to someone at the door I have to pull over to use my phone to converse with them. If that was possible through the screen on the car it would make it much simpler. I know a number of Waze users that would switch their camera doorbell provider if this were possible with the Google product.

Re-attempt to connect to mobile/wifi signal after starting on offline map
When a car is parked in underground carpark with no mobile phone signal, Waze will use the offline map with no traffic information However it does not re-attempt to connect to mobile signal/wifi after a minute or two when the car is out in open air, and it continues the whole journal on offline map. Please enable a function to re-try connecting to phone signal via CarPlay

Driver license plate scanning
While you are driving there are a lot of dangerous and crazy drivers, also drivers who has problems with their lamps and other electronics.
It would be great to notify them via your mobile phone. The system is easy, you scan their license plate with your camera and you can send a message to the car next to you, after the message the other driver has the chance to answer, then you can chose if you want to continue the conversation or not

Please allow users to remove Traffic light camera from the alerts.

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

Urgent hint to improve waze fast and easy and get many new users!
How? Speed camera alert (warning) is one of the best and attractive reasons to use waze especially for new users, that have already integrated or portable navigation systems. Mobile (!) Speed traps (cameras, but also radar guns etc.) are the traps, users have the most fear of. But most existing users of waze, who wants to report a mobile (!) speed trap mix up the confusing camera icon with the police (officer) icon, especially in the german version, where the camera icon is named "Blitzer" (means: "flash"). They report mobile speed traps (in german also named as blitzer;…

Add a "turning" camera in addition to red light and speeding cameras.
Ocean Parkway, Brooklyn, NY has at least two cameras to ticket drivers that make a turn where there is a "no left turn" sign. Perhaps waze can add an option for such cameras.

Motorcycle Horizontally Mounted Phone
Dear Waze Team,
I use Waze on my motorcycle and would like to make two suggestions to improve Waze for all motorcyclists. I mount my phone horizontally on my motorcycle handlebar. But the problem I experienced with the phone being mounted horizontally is that the map on Waze is not completely visible.
The search destination bar at the botton of the screen is covering a lot of the map when there is no destination entered. Would it be possible to make a small enter destination button at the side of the screen for example below or above the speedometer instead…

Add "Disabled Vehicle" to Windows Phone version
I have an Android phone at work, and a Windows Phone at home. I use Waze on both as a single user. I was navigating home on Sunday when I watched a vehicle become disabled next to me at a traffic light. Being the good Wazer that I am, I immediately opened my Waze app and pressed on the "REPORT" icon. On my work (Android) phone under "HAZARD", there is an option to identify "Vehicle Stopped". On my Home (Windows) phone version, that option is completing missing. How did this get left off???? Could someone at Waze add it as…
2 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may already know, Waze is no longer supported on any Windows Phone device and is not planned to be supported in the near future.

Red light camera alerts
I have 4 red light cameras on my daily commute. Can there be a way for us to delete these locations so i don't have to hear them everyday? I don't want to silence alerts completely, and that seems to be the only way.

Add an option to change where the alert is displayed on your phone screen (eg. speed cameras) from the bottom or top of your phone screen
Add an option to change where the alert is displayed on your phone screen (eg. speed cameras) from the bottom or top of your phone screen. As i find that for me when the alert is on the bottom i miss it due to the placement of my phone in the phone holder so if it was on the top of the screen that would be much better for me personally so give users the option to change where the alert is displayed on screen.
