Flock camera system license plate reader locations
Allow users to map locations of police automatic license plate readers and select routes that avoids them.
The Flock automatic license plate readers are now in over 2500 cities in the United States and track 1 billion vehicles per month per their website. They are able to detect the color of your car, wether or not part of your plate is obscured, if the registered owner has a valid drivers license, is a gang member, known drug smuggler, has an active warrant and other such information. Flock sells these to home owners association's and other private entities besides law enforcement. When attached with their Raven gun shot detection system it also is able to identify gunshot locations, broken glass and tires screeching. Our right to privacy is being destroyed. If off the grid individuals wish to not be recorded, they should have the ability to transit around these camera systems.

Car on right or left side of the road
Letting drivers know what side of the road the car is on.
The first report os just "car is on the the side of the road," once reported the next wazer can confirm which side right or left.
This 2 step reporting is less distracting to drivers90 votes -
Stop automatically rerouting to Waze's preferred route
Your selected route should be "sticky" or require permission to change.
Waze is great, we all know that. But there is one issue that is almost service-breaking. When I select an alternate route, as opposed to waze's preferred route, if I make one minor change (such as backing out to the left when Waze expected me to go right), Waze will put me back on its preferred route.
This happens every time. More than once Waze has rerouted me onto the Interstate in rush hour even though I had explicitly chose a different route 10 seconds earlier. There is no voice prompt or notification that this happens, you only notice when you realize you're on a different path.

GPS coordinates
It would be great to have a GPS dashboard panel, displaying in the same screen:
- Longitude, Latitude & Elevation
- Velocity
- GPS status (fixed, not fixed, ...)
- Signal's strength

Besoins d'un mode de navigation poid lourd.
Bonjour,
En tant que professionnel utilisant Waze quotidiennement, je tiens à soumettre une demande forte : l'intégration d'un mode de navigation spécifique pour les Poids Lourds.
J'utilise Waze pour sa précision sur le trafic, mais l'absence de gestion des gabarits est un vrai handicap pour le travail en camion. Lorsque je dois me rendre sur des sites de livraison inconnus ou des zones de chargement, je me retrouve trop souvent sur des routes inadaptées : voies trop étroites, ponts à hauteur limitée ou restrictions de tonnage.
Intégrer un profil 'Camion' permettrait de :
Sécuriser nos trajets en évitant les routes interdites aux poids lourds.
Gagner un temps précieux en évitant les demi-tours impossibles ou les blocages.
Conserver la puissance de la communauté Waze pour les alertes routières, tout en ayant une navigation adaptée à notre gabarit.
Waze est l'application la plus performante pour le trafic, nous sommes très nombreux dans le milieu du transport à attendre cette fonctionnalité pour ne plus avoir à basculer sur un second GPS.
Merci de considérer cette évolution pour les professionnels de la route.Bonjour,

Ability to switch speed/speed limit display.
The speed limit is the critical information. Currently it is the smaller of the two shown. Often, on a phone, the speed limit is too hard to read.

Prevent drivers from spamming map editors with update requests (URs)
Waze volunteer map editors have, over a number of years, have raised concerns about the ability for app users, whether intentionally or unintentionally, to submit a high volume of map update requests through the app and other sources. This issue has been consistently raised by volunteer editors at all levels, including editors, area managers, state and country managers, as well as local and global champs who are on the ground editing the map daily. It has also been discussed at local, mega, and global meetups.
To date, this security concern has not yet been addressed, which is why I am submitting this as a UserVoice suggestion. At present, it is possible for a single driver to submit a very large number of update requests in a short period of time, for example 20 within a minute. Introducing reasonable limits on the number of reports that can be submitted within a defined timeframe is essential to combat map abuse, reduce unnecessary workload for volunteer editors, and improve the overall quality of map updates.
On behalf of the volunteer editing community, we respectfully ask that Waze consider implementing measures to prevent excessive or repetitive map update submissions, so that editor time can be focused on meaningful and accurate reports.

Voice commands when using Waze in Android Auto

Driving directions on virtual cockpit
Hey Wazers, I have found out, that when you use Apple Maps app through CarPlay, it is able to transfer information about next driving direction (for example "in 100m turn right" and an arrow) to the control unit of my car and it then shows it to me on my virtual cockpit. Since anothe iOS app can do this, I hope others should be able to, arent they? It will be really good to implement this...

Return the displaying of FB friends on a map in app.
Most users are interested in where their friends are, not unknown people. Need to make FB friends be visible on the map all the time, not just when they are within 1 km. There is an invisible button for Confidentiality to compliance in the application.

Add 'beep only' option to the sound options
I now have the options: no sound / alerts only / sound on. I'd like a quiet mode, but I don't want to miss navigation cues. A beep only mode would be nice.

Make speed limit larger on apple carplay
I have read the responses to this issue. It seems to be a bot responding as:
Thank 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.
That is NOT the issue. Just remove the speedometer and make the speed limit LARGER. Like it appears on Google Maps, which owns Waze.
