North = Up!
PLEASE, for the Love of God, give us a preference that will keep North pointing UP on the device! i practically can't use Waze (tho i REALLY want to) because it keep spinning around on me - drives me crazy - i grew up with paper maps & north was always "up" - having it spin to the direction i'm driving is driving me bonkers! :-)
aside from that, the app rocks!222 votesGreat thinking! The issue you raised has been addressed in a recent redesign. Hope you like it!

Waze on my car screen
GM now allows Google maps and several other APPs to be projected on my car screen from either an iphone or an android phone. Would be a great addition if we could get the WAZE APP to come up. I would happily toss the google map.

Show favorites on map
In other gps devices, your favorites show up on the map. For example if you have a friends house saved and you drive by you'll be able to see it on the map. So I think it would be nice to have your favorites show on the map all the time or at least have an option to turn on a feature like this.

Map scale indicator
Have you ever wondered how many miles long that traffic jam is up ahead? I sure have, but Waze gives no indication of distances on a map. How about one of the little bars that indicates the scale of the current map view - you know 1 inch equals a mile, etc.

Make turnings and exits more clear (Using arrows or different color)
I have missed an exit or taken the wrong exit multiple times with this app. I do not have this problem with google maps. It would be helpful if turnings could be made more prominent, using different colors or an arrow shown on the actual map.

Waze update has altered the route options, seemingly imitating the style used by Google Maps.
Waze update has altered the route options, seemingly imitating the style used by Google Maps. Why on earth are they copying that approach? It’s shorter, yes, but far more confusing. I highly doubt anyone appreciates this change. Could you revert it to the previous format?

Map Overview
Please add a map overview so that you can see the entire route. I don't like having to scroll ahead all of the time to see the route. I know that you can see it written out, but I would like to see it on a map.

Locking against editing sucks
The locking against editing of streets is very annoying. On my way to work (about 30km) i found more than 10 errors, and very often I'm not allowed to correct them. It is too complicated to set an unlock request before being allowed to edit. So how can your maps improve if the normal user is not able to correct map errors?

Waze should have the Road Speed in build with its MAPS and this should be compared with it's Speedometer feature to put the ALERT to user
Waze should have the Road Speed in build with its MAPS and this should be compared with it's Speedometer feature to put the ALERT to user/driver if he/she would exceed the speed limit.
For example, if the allowed speed limit for some road/high way is 100 KM and user accidentally crosses the speed and reached to 105KM or 110 KM then WAZE should put the ALERT to its user that the speed limit is crossed and user may have fine so decrease the speed to avoid any fine.
1 voteThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already displays a speedometer, including both your driving speed and the speed limit for the road you’re currently on.

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

Improvement in the application
I loved the app. Beyond that, I would like to focus on improving or adding features like chatting with other Waze users so that they can notify each other in a separate section when there are problems downloading maps for when they are offline in different places, being able to post real profile pictures of the same users, drivers or runners, inform about the weather in the area, after all, good. I really liked this app 5 stars.
