Waze Routing Server Connectivity Issue
It is not an idea. But off late Waze has been having issues connecting to routing servers. It is also taking longer to find the routes vs Google Maps or Apple Maps program. All of these on the same device.

highlight traffic jams
Better highlight of traffic jams on the map. AT the moment, it seems impossible to see an upcoming jam when Waze is following a route. The route track overlays the jam indication of the maps and the whole thing is not very visible. Make it clearer by making introducing stripes, checkerboards or whatever.

Please get the driver display working for AAOS
Im sure everyone noticed this right away that waze is not working on the driver display, which is how these systems were designed to be used. Please get this working ASAP so i can stop using Google maps.

Different map colors
Please bring back the map colors. I'm tired of looking at gray and blue.
40 votesHey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Currently Not Planned, since we finalized our plans for 2024 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
We hope to include it in our plans for later down the line.
Thanks!

Filter search results by whether a business is open
Google Maps allows filtering of search results by whether the business is open or not; Waze should have feature parity.

width
I've been using Waze for numerous years now. Any option of caravan and trailer specifications to prevent narrow, unsuitable roads? I would be more than happy to pay a subscription as the maps are great.

auto complete on address search
When searching Google maps, entering the first few characters of an address offer suggestions.
Make it the same in waze, much better usability, especially when in a hurry to start driving

Apple Car Play Issue
I love the Apple CarPlay feature. The only issue I have is the black search/favorites/voice bar doesn’t disappear as it does in Google maps. It takes up valuable map space. Could you please, in a future update, create a disappearing black bar after map is up? Thank you.
5 votesGreat thinking! The issue you raised has been addressed in a recent redesign. Hope you like it!

Please create an option to use Waze in invisible mode
I know there is an anonymous mode in Waze but in my area, there are not many people using Waze so unless I want people to know exactly where I am at all times, I can't use it!
I love Waze and I'd be happy to have all my information contribute to traffic info and maps for everyone else, I'd rather not appear on the map as even as an anonymous icon. Would this not be a useful addition?21 votes -
Audio ducking (lowering volume)
Could we kindly request the option to disable audio ducking, similar to other maps? I would prefer to manage the volume myself and not have music or audio automatically muted. This happens when both audio for Waze and music/audio books are played from the car speakers. I do not have the same issue with Google Maps.
Thank you for considering this request.

Faster map when moving
One thing I hate with Waze compared to google maps and directions is when you are in an area with where you have to turn onto several short roads and then turn quickly the map does not update your position quick like google does and I end up missing my turns. Satellite view would help with this.. I no longer use waze for directions. Just for the notifications along the route I am on. Also the speed does not update correctly.

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.
