Quick reporting buttons on the screen.
The on screen button\icon would allow you to report road hazards with one touch on hte screen. Currently you have to make at least 4 inputs to report the most common hazards. Would make reporting hazards a lot safer.

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?

use waze with Pioneer avh2330nex. I can get Waze notifications when my iphone music is on BUT no visuals (maps) on Pioneer radio screen
Waze. Please update your software so that I can display the Waze on the screen while streaming music. If I display Waze on the stereo screen I cannot stream music at the same time. I can however stream music and get vocal Waze notifications that interrupts the music playing. Better than nothing.
Waze, please improve your app to allow displaying Waze on the screen and play music at the same time. I know Waze knows how.
Pioneer avh2330nex and iphone 6s.
Thank you!1 voteThank you for your suggestion! As you may already know, Waze is now integrated with several audio apps including Spotify, Deezer, TuneIn, iHeart Radio, Pandora and more. Just go to Settings > Audio Player and pick your favorite app.

Better organized CarPlay screen for reporting traffic issues
Describing traffic issues while driving needs to be done quickly, so the driver isn’t distracted too long. I feel at least 20 buttons should be shown on the screen right away to report conditions, instead of 5 that ‘open’ into related scenarios. So 1st column is the 5 most important police issues, the 2nd column is the 5 most important emergency vehicle issues, the 3rd column is the 5 most important crash or stopped vehicle issues, the 4th column is the 5 most important road surface condition issues, and the 5th column is the 5 most important ‘other’ issues.

Option to not display the 'route summary' screen when starting navigation.
Having selected a destination on the map and choosing to navigate to that destination, a 'summary' screen is currently being displayed before navigation commences, requiring the user to accept the route prior to navigation starting.
An option to bypass this screen and start navigation immediately after selecting a destination would be a nice addition.1 vote -

Add option to display Gas Stations (as clickable icons) on main map screen without having to use menu.
Add the option to display gas stations on the main map as clickable icons, without having to go through the several menus (i.e. menu > gas > list > map... and all the way back) to visualize surrounding stations and return to main navigation map.
Clicking the gas station icons on the main map view should allow users to "navigate" directly to the gas station and also update the fuel prices (if within range).
Showing gas stations on the main map view has two main benefits:
Updating gas prices to nearby stations becomes much easier.
The user will have the…

Hide bottom toolbar on iPhone
The toolbar on the bottom (drive to, report etc.) should be hidden when in navigation mode to help use up the entire iPhone screen. On screen tap the toolbar can pop back up to access these tools. I just don't think the iPhone screen is large enough to keep that toolbar there at all times. Maybe a setting could enable this auto-hide feature while some people may like it to be shown all the time.

Add (2) customizable reporting icons on screen Mobile and Apple CarPlay
Often what we find is that most people are reporting the same thing over and over. For example vehicle stopped on shoulder ahead or police. Having a couple of customizable icon areas on screen would not only streamline this experience but add to the overall safety.
Add (2) customizable reporting icons on screen Mobile and Apple CarPlay / Android auto.

Split-screen view in CarPlay
On a long trip, it’s nice to see how far along you are on the full route - but there’s not a lot of need for turn-by-turn on the highway. Please make a view that uses some of the large available space in CarPlay mode to show the “route overview” map next to the turn-by-turn.

Re-arranging the waze application display for "landscape" screens
On a 7" car display, which is a "landscape" display, the Waze application displays the "Next turn" box, including the turn description, on about a quarter of the screen, sometimes even larger. The Result is that the on-coming road map is covered by the box, and the "turn area" shows only at the last minute. For such a "landscape" display the screen display should be re-arranged so that the important part of the on-coming map shall not be hidden until the very last minute, similar to the standard "portrait" telephone display.

Trip Overview Split Screen Option
A split-screen option for the existing drive and trip overview?
For example: Left side will have the usual Waze UI, report, street name, directions, distance to turns etc... On the right side, we have the overall view of the trip.
The through process for this is that, I like to see to overall distance covered so I know how much more I have to go, while it is an option to poke "Overview" it takes the attention away from the driving which I find potentially dangerous.... Carplay user here, but I think it can be integrated into both systems.

Avoid screen freeze. Better a black screen than a frozen one, at least you know you are on your own.
Some times app freezes, you think it is ok, bit not, until you miss a turn or overspeed, them it is too late! Better a black screen than a frozen one. At least you notice something is wrong.
