turn by turn notification on in-car instrument cluster display
On my BMW 5 series (OS8.5) and CarPlay with iOS26, turn by turn notification/guidance that appears in instrument cluster is way too big, covering the route ahead which I need to drive. It is very difficult to see what is in front of me and in that case I need to look at the large display, which is not that safe especially when you need to turn. It would be much nicer to have this window moved underneath the car arrow instead of ETA window. ETA window in instrument cluster is not essential information and I could live without it, easily.
A option in settings "Show guidance below car icon/arrow" will give users freedom of choice depending on their car display and implementation.
Alternatively, move car arrow to the bottom edge of display if possible.

Caution: Unusual activity reported nearby. Slow down and drive with care.”
I’d like to propose a community-reported Safety Alert for situations where unusual or unclear activity near the roadway creates uncertainty and potential risk, even when the cause is not clearly visible or identifiable.
In these moments, uncertainty itself becomes a road safety issue, leading to panic braking, sudden U-turns, or drivers unknowingly entering unstable areas.
Examples include:
Sudden crowd activity blocking streets
Chaotic traffic behavior with no clear incident
Loud or alarming sounds affecting driver focus
Unstable situations where drivers begin stopping or turning around abruptly
In these cases, uncertainty itself becomes a road safety issue.
Proposed alert
Name: Safety Alert – Uncertain Situation
Icon: Orange safety whistle (universal alert symbol)
Message:
“Uncertain situation reported ahead. Stay calm, reduce speed, and drive with caution.”
This alert would not identify people, groups, or causes.
Its purpose is to encourage calm, predictable driving and safer rerouting when normal road conditions break down.Similar situations happen worldwide (protests, large events, unrest, crowd activity).
A simple, neutral alert can help drivers everywhere make safer decisions.Thanks for considering a community-focused safety enhancement.

Turn by turn on headup display (windshield)
Latest update 5.14.1.0 still does not enable turn by turn to show on the head up display (on winshield). There was a post that waze just needs to flip a switch. Google and apple maps already have it on. Can you guys please enable it? https://waze.uservoice.com/forums/59223-waze-suggestion-box/suggestions/50043126-prioritize-full-carplay-integration-hud-instrum

Add Pause Button to Route Guidance
I use Waze a lot for local driving and frequently take small diversions to convenience stores or maybe swing by another store or a friend's house a few blocks away that is not on the original route.
I find it very hard to believe that no one has ever added a Pause button to route guidance.
I have seen it rationalized that it would be distracting while you're driving.
I would submit that the app continuing to recalculate a new route while you are diverting is ever more distracting. Especially, if you decide to stop the route because the continual rerouting is too annoying.
Please, please, please add a Pause button to your app.

Convoy
Convoy Feature
A set of features to allow a group of travellers to monitor/follow each other via the Waze App. Many holiday makers, but also clubs & professional organisations often need to travel together, and need to be able to track & monitor that the "convoy" members remain together, and is up to date on the latest location, destination, as & when things may change or issues may arise.
Up to 6 Wazers can enable "participation" (location sharing) with a "Leader" that would invite them to join a "convoy".
Each Wazer can then see/monitor the other vehicles & leader, and be sure to follow the same path/direction as the leader.
Within the MAP View the 5 other Wazers would be visible as small icons on the map( depending on zoom)
Each wazer would see the path/route to the "Leader" as default (top of the list), but could select any member of the "convoy" if needed (perhaps they are lost or have an issue) which would then display a path/route to that wazer.I could see this being used by casual users, clubs & prefessional organisations.

Wrong-Way One-Way Alert
Hello,
Request the implementation of an Alert Feature in the application that provides an immediate audio and visual warning on the map if the system detects the vehicle is traveling the wrong way on a One-Way Street.
This feature would significantly enhance driving safety and help prevent potential accidents.

Make the electric car pop-up optional
The electric car pop up shows every time I am putting in an address to go to. I don’t have an electric car and many others don’t as well. This pop-up should be removed and put under settings a person with an electric car can turn that feature on.

Add a simple Retry button after route planning fails
Often, I enter my destination right before driving.
Sometimes Waze fails to plan the route (because of weak signal or Wi-Fi/mobile switch).
This usually happens just after I start driving, so it’s hard and unsafe to go through many taps to try again in Android Auto.Please add a small “Retry” button on the error screen to try planning again with the same address.
✅ Safer – no need to touch the screen much while driving
✅ Faster recovery from short connection issues
✅ Very simple, very helpful improvement6 votes -
Reports road issues to road administrators

Suggestion: Option to set alert distance for events on the route Currently, alerts for speed cameras, police, and speed bumps are shown too
Suggestion: Option to set alert distance for events on the route
Currently, alerts for speed cameras, police, and speed bumps are shown too close to the actual point. I would like to suggest that Waze allow users to configure the distance in advance for these alerts (for example: 500m, 1km, 2km).
Benefits:
More reaction time and safer speed adjustment.
Prevents sudden braking right on top of the radar or obstacle.
Improves user experience, especially on highways and fast roads.
This customization would be very useful for drivers, particularly on long-distance routes.

Display EV charger availability and location when using Carplay
Current behavior:
When you search an EV Charger in Waze Carplay, it displays a list of EV Charger without the location on the map. Also the charger availability is not displayed. This makes it almost impossible to pick up a convenient EV Charger.Enhancement request: when searching for an EV charger
- display a list of EV Charger with a number
- display the same number on the map (so we know the location of each EV charger). is it on our way? is it ahead of us? is it behind?
- display the availability of the charger (available on the iOS app but not in Carplay)
=> this 2 things will helps the driver choosing the most convenient charger without having to use their phone, ( only use CarPlay)Current behavior:

Change place "Closed or moved" report to "Permanently closed or moved"
Today, users often report a place as "closed" because it is temporarily under renovation, or because the listed hours are incorrect. However, if an editor accepts this report, the place is deleted, which doesn't address the actual issue. These mistaken reports could be reduced if the menu item for this report was changed to include the word "Permanently."

Proposal for Drone-Based Navigation Feature in Waze
Dear Waze Management Team,
My name is Mehdi Shojaei, and as a loyal and frequent user of Waze, I would like to share an idea that could significantly enhance both the user experience and driving safety.
Nowadays, some modern vehicles (especially new Chinese models) have introduced an innovative feature where a drone is deployed to scan the road ahead and provide the driver with live, useful information. This technology ensures that drivers can stay informed about upcoming traffic, obstacles, or road conditions without being distracted or forced to make sudden stops.
I would like to suggest that Waze implement a similar concept in a digital and animated form within the app. The idea is as follows:
The navigation arrow (route indicator) could be redesigned as a digital drone.
This drone could “take off” from the map either when the user presses a dedicated button or automatically when the Waze AI deems it necessary, scanning the route ahead.
The scanned information could then be displayed visually and interactively for the driver.
This feature would not only improve the visual appeal and engagement of Waze but would also contribute greatly to driver safety. Currently, many users manually drag and scroll through the map to see traffic conditions ahead, which is both time-consuming and potentially dangerous while driving.
I sincerely appreciate the continuous efforts of the Waze team to provide the best navigation experience worldwide and hope this idea will be considered for future updates.
Sincerely,
Mehdi Shojaei

Delete reported hazard
If you create a hazard, this may have been accidentally added (eg wrong hazard selected). There should be an option to amend or delete a hazard you have created - maybe give a timing window if you don’t want it permanently an option
