Don't display next turn on the app screen too soon
On a recent drive, I was exiting along a long cloverleaf exit ramp from a major highway onto a major roadway. As I entered the loop, the display changed to show the next turn. I realize that it said "in 5.4 miles", but the popup of the next turn grabs one's attention and was very confusing to see while I was on the exit loop.
Perhaps delaying the Next Turn message until I entered the segment of the road along the new roadway would have been better.
I can provide specifics about this case including a screenshot of the app…

CarPlay Instrument Cluster Support
Apple CarPlay has started to support instrument clusters (Display behind the steering wheel), however so far it only supports Apple Maps. Developers have said this is available for apps like Waze to utilize, but you guys would have to update it to support that. I was hoping you guys could push this update as it would be very convenient and helpful. Currently using CarPlay on a Land Rover with the latest Pivi system. Thank you!

Latest update is garbage
Speed limit small and unreadable, current speed worse since it is also small and with zero contrast between background and speed font color. Please tell your developers not everyone has a tablet sized display like Tesla, as it seems this version was developed for a MUCH larger display than most cars have. In the words of Colin Chapman, less is more- this update was a regressive rather than progressive. Read the latest reviews on the Play store, I'm not in the minority.....

Increase visibility area in landscape mode.
While using waze on my smartphone (Samsung Galaxy Note 3), the device is on its side. I like to see the map in landscape mode. With the new update (version 4.0.0.2 installed) any warnings and the display of the names of streets COVERS a big part of the map. I suggest to enlarge the área of the map shown in landscape mode for smartphones at least.

On iPhone 15 Pro Max, text takes up far too much of the display in landscape mode.
My idea would be to have the option of splitting the display in two when in landscape mode, with the map on the right taking up the full vertical space available, and the directions, ETA and other info on the left. Or vice versa.

Logging Options on Waze (distance, driving time, gas costs)
It would be great that Waze could log some data about your trip.
So you could include a kind of dashboard that could display your speed, average speed, distance driven, a kind of trip distance resetable by user, as well a fuel logging calculator.
The fuel logging calculator should enable you to register the price spent and the ammount of fuel you've filled. This would be great for drivers to make some stats in order to reduce costs.26 votes -
Fix sunset dark/night mode toggling multiple times per day
When driving before sunset, Waze switches from its day to night mode a little bit before sunset...then it switches back to day...then to night...then to day... On my drive tonight (headed west on I-20 toward Shreveport, LA), it toggled back & forth 15-20 times before finally settling in on night mode.
I recommend adding some hysteresis into the switching that matches/compliments how you calculate the sunset proximity. Once Waze switches to its night display in the evening or it switches to the day display in the morning, it shouldn't switch back (you know, as long as you're on the same…

Connect Waze to sireneradar.com to let Waze show a warning of an approaching emergency vehicle.
In the Netherlands we have the sireneradar.com initiative. Most emergency services are connected to this system.
The location of the police/fire/ambulance-vehicle is reported realtime to the platform, That data is available to navigation vendors like TomTom and Flitsmeister, and they sound and display a warning to their users for an approaching emergency vehicle.
This way the Waze users get an early warning, so they can be extra alert when they need to.

Kindly update app to support navigation displaying on the dashboard screen of new lincoln nautilus vehicles. Although the app is good, the non availability of dashboard display renders it useless for lincoln users on Apple CarPlay as well as android auto

ETA display behaves strangely after CoolWalk update
I saw that the ETA sometimes displays the arrival time but sometimes displays the time remaining. And this happens randomly. Please include both, always!

Suggested improvements to display
UConnect system is installed in my Jeep Grand Cherokee. I don't use it due to the cost of upgrading the map. But, I do like some of its features that would greatly benefit Waze. I have screen shots available if needed but don't see a way to add to this post.
- Show the name of the actual city/town that your in. Really helps when traveling
- Show highway signs on map that exactly match the highway road signs (image wise) when exiting, merging, etc. EXTREMELY helpful in large cities and enhances road lane guidance
- Enhance and zoom guidance…1 vote -
Please acquire and support Navdy
You may or may not be familiar with the Navdy heads up display unit. I have one, it's a great device.
Sadly, on October 26, 2017, Navdy, Inc. (“Navdy”) entered into an Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors (“Assignment”) and, as a result, Navdy is unfortunately no longer conducting business.
"What this means for you as a Navdy customer is that sometime within the next couple of weeks, your Navdy unit may stop functioning properly. Features like turn-by-turn navigation and voice recognition could fail and it is possible that this may cause the device to fail completely.

COVID-19 Outbreak Tracking
Provide daily COVID-19 Outbreak Tracking. Your app should display red shaded bubbles over areas with outbreaks, with the bubble size proportional to the outbreak size. For example right now on March 19, 2020, there would be a large shaded red bubble over New York City. This would correspond to the current outbreak in New York city, and advise motorist to avoid this area as a stopover or even as a drive-through. This could help motorists avoid contamination and/or travel delays in the future if there are “containment “ areas. (You could get the data feed from John’s Hopkins or others)

Display number of Waze users ahead of you on the same road.
This will give the Waze user an indication on the quality of the time sensitive Police/Crash/Hazard/Camera information.
It gives me a comfortable feeling when there are no reports on my current road and I see that there are 5 users ahead of me.
In this image you can see they already do it in the flitsmeister.nl app: https://photos.app.goo.gl/X293cQGSuz4VNxxe83 votes -
speedometer
Speedometer can be pinned to my phones entire display (during carplay). That way it’s easier to read at a glance. Perhaps what displays on your phone screen when connected to carplay could be fully customisable?

Disable face proximity sensor.
The face proximity sensor is enabled. Since I place my iPhone in the console of my vehicle, every time I move my hand down to perform an action, the display goes black. I have to gingerly reposition my hand before I can do anything.
I suggest disabling the face proximity sensor while in an operational mode. If necessary, you can enable it right before going to a phone call (if not speakerphone).

iOS CarPlay missing the graphical bar displaying incidents along the route
It's awesome that you added Waze to CarPlay. There is a feature I use all the time on my phone which is missing from the CarPlay version and that is to be able to view the graphical bar displaying incidents (hazard, traffic and police) along the route. It would be nice if this could be added to the CarPlay version. Maybe just add an icon to press then press again to make it disappear. The same graphical bar is missing when you view alternate routes. What good is choosing an alternate route if you are not able to see…
