user provided layout themes
There are various requests for features of what Waze should/should not display on screen. It would be great if users could instead of just choosing a style, actually choose a (or create) a layout that another user has selected.
Best option would be to provide the ablity to give shapes, and areas that can contain text. Eg.
- Current speed (can then increase/decrease the speed display)
- Average wazer speed on the current segment (so the potential speed limits could be shown)
- Current road name
- Text/images for popups
- Destination ETA
- Destination time
- Destination name…8 votes -
Show as Tractor
Display yourself as a tractor or slow vehicle on the map. Yes also agricultural vehicles use waze and normal roads. They would like to warn other drivers. Like trash trucks or snow plow trucks.

SKUNKED
Aligned with the roadkill alert option, give an alert for “skunked“ to give drivers a heads up for dead skunks ahead, so they may set there Vehicle air to recirculate and hopes of not bringing in much of that smelling! 😉

show song playing while navigating using Android Auto
While using Waze on android Auto I would like to see what is currently playing, when using spotify or even on infotainment (Radio, XM, Ect.) There is a nice open spot at the top of the screen that could be used to display this info. I know that there is a quick popup when i change songs but would like the ability to display permanently.

Current location display. A floating arrow on a line just isn't good enough.
Current location display. A floating arrow on a line just isn't good enough. Please include a banner which displays the current road you’re driving on. Many times you enter branching subdivisions, complex Interstate crossings or streets where their names aren’t visible. A current street location banner answers the questions where am I, did I turn onto the street, without having to ‘figure it out’ deciphering the map or entering a driving direction.

"I hope to remove the road name display because it often blocks my view of intersections."
I hope to remove the road name display because it often blocks my view of intersections. it’s annoying and frustrating, it affects my view of the route. I also want to cancel it, but I can’t find a way to remove it.

Sectional speed measurement.
From the beginning of the measured section to the end of the measurement, the automatic average speed calculation plus the average speed button on any section of the road. An additional indication would appear on the display - the average speed ...

Road Name Display
Show current road name in a bubble at the bottom of the screen without having a route selected. This would help when traveling in an unfamiliar area and want to know the name of the streets you are on. This could be added as an option under the navigation group so it would only be shown when selected.

Show distance covered and time passed while driving
It would be great if waze can display the time passed and the distance i covered in km or miles since i started driving when my app is running. This can be optional and the distance covered display can be turned on and off using settings.

Settings for types of alerts to allow
There are many types of alerts the Waze client can display as a layer on the map and/or pop up on your screen, sometimes both visual and audible. We would like to see an new Settings area added for the types of alerts we want to see and/or ignore and never have a notification appear or be heard.
The notifications should include at least, but not necessarily limited to:
Speed cams
Red light cams
Police (speed trap)
Road Hazards
Road segment speed condition
Traffic Jams
Chit Chat
Accident233 votesGreat news! For each type of report/alert you’re able to specify whether you’d like it do be displayed on the route. Accessed via Settings – Alerts&Reports – Reports. What’s more, you can choose area (e.g. 5 km around you) for which reports will be displayed on the map.

Fully intigrated Android Auto widget screen display, just as using Google Maps lets you do. Chrrently using Waze on android auto takes over
Fully intigrated Android Auto widget screen display, just as using Google Maps lets you do. Currently using Waze on android auto takes over the entire screen as opposed to a smaller map which also allows side widgets such as messages and Spotify displays. Google Maps allows you to have this screen set up, but I don't like using Google maps, I like Waze.

Waze on cluster screen over Carplay
Apple Maps and Google Maps are able to display a map on the cluster screen when connected via Apple Carplay.
Can an option be implemented for Waze to do the same thing?
Thanks!15 votes -
Length of delay before setting off
It would be useful to have the length of delays displayed before setting off.
Currently Waze gives you an ETA and time to destination - e.g. 1:30hrs but doesn't indicate whether this is 1:30hrs of free flowing traffic (optimised route) or whether it is going to take 1:30hrs because you are going to be sat in 20mins of traffic. It could display next to the ETA the time you are going to be in delay e.g. ETA 1:30hrs +20mins delay (maybe in red?).

Display complete voice command list in app
The complete list of recognised words and commands needs to be displayed in the app. This should be available from the settings menu, and maybe as an option following the "I didn't understand that" response.
There is a list at https://support.google.com/waze/answer/9332876?hl=en#zippy=%2Cwhat-you-can-ask-the-google-assistant-to-do-in-waze but it took me ages to find it on a laptop - I need it on my phone in my car.

Push notification regarding traffic on your regular routes
I would like to receive push notifications at predefined times, for instance every morning at 8:00, regarding traffic on my usual route to work as I don't turn on waze for driving routes I know at regular times. Waze could notify me of an accident and display the name of the alternative route, that way I don't even have to open the app.

Larger Speed and Speed Limit Option Please!
Please give the option to make the Speed Display and Speed Limit Boxes Larger. It is very hard to see due to small size. This would be very helpful in cars like mine that do not have a digital speed display.

Display of built-in navigation/map on the dashboard after navigation is finished
Hello.
I noticed that when I start navigating via Waze, the built-in navigation in the car on the dashboard displays the voice "mobile navigation is active",,. and does not display the built-in navigation. After the navigation via Waze ends, but this voice on the dashboard remains active and the built-in navigation in the car is not displayed. Only after restarting the vehicle and connecting. After navigating to the destination, Google Maps switches back to the built-in navigation mode on the dashboard and displays the map in the vehicle.
Thanks for the reply

Bug? After reaching destination while navigating, the map display is stuck in 3D 'driving mode' instead of reverting to 2D 'overview' mode.
With the 'auto' map display option enabled, which switches between 2D (when stationary) and 3D (when driving) modes, after a destination has been reached while navigating a route, the map display is stuck in 3D mode and does not switch back to 2D mode.
This makes it difficult to browse the map and select another route destination and only restarting the app solves the issue.1 vote -

Display next instuction after the current one
It would be really handy if you could always show the turn instruction after the current on screen instruction. It will help with early lane positioning. Ideally including the lane that you need to be in.
