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…

Roundabout display 2d and zoom out
Waze is a great app, but it has a significant drawback — especially when driving in the UK.
The interface elements (such as the arrow and road layout) are too large, which makes it hard to read, particularly at roundabouts. What’s even more problematic is that the view remains in 3D and doesn’t switch to an overhead 2D perspective like Google Maps does, which would make navigating roundabouts much easier.
Additionally, when slowing down, Waze doesn’t seem to handle speed reduction well — the position appears to lag by a few seconds. As a result, it often looks like you’re…

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!

Drive time multiple stops
It used to be that if I had more than one stop programmed, it would display both drive times. Now, it only displays one drive time, and two ETAs instead. This is particularly unhelpful if I'm looking up a drive for later. Could we get the double drive times back, please?
Also, I'd like to be able to remove the "planned drives", "calendar events" and "Facebook events" from my nav menu. They just get in the way.7 votesThank you for this suggestion.
This idea has been being discussed for a while and recognized as an important user request.
We hear the community’s voice and would like to share that while we can’t currently commit to a timeline, we do have plans to create a way to add more than one stop pre-drive.
We’ll keep the community posted, please stay tuned! -
Display should change from bright to dark mode while driving through an tunnel
The waze app should change from bright to dark mode while driving through an tunnel.
Waze maps should know if the actual position is in an tunnel (calculated by the route as the is no position in tunnels) and when driving in an tunnel the display should change. After leaving the tunnel the screen should change back to bright mode, if bright miy was active before the tunnel and it bright mode should not be activated at this time (in regards the the configuration to change to dark mode automatically).

highway wrong direction car alert
it could be useful to add an alert to inform other wazers that a car is driving in wrong direction (very useful for the Highways). The alert will blink to any wazer smartphone display that is driving that way before the alert point.
This feature could permit alerted drivers to mantain the right lane till the end of the emergency.11 votes -

Make a difference between a solo police speed radar control and traject control.
When you enter a traject speed control zone, it would be great to have a time bar in the display, just the way it is shown during traffic jam. Off course for traject speed contole zone, it should be in a other color

Alternate route display should follow the setting for "Keep map north up"
If "Keep map north up" is off then alternate routes should be displayed with my position at the bottom of the screen.
This will make it easier to visualise alternate routes relative to my current position.
Also applies to the app but I'm only able to select one category.

Geotagged event triggers
Allow the user to define an event such as playing one of your own sounds, display one of your own photos or play a music track at or near specific places. Example uses - get onto a fast stretch of road and your music changes, and changes back when you get into town again. Get a mile from a toll booth and a note appears telling you how much money to have ready. Drive near a grocer and your recording says "don't forget to get the eggs". Go past a tourist attraction and a recording tells you about it. You…

Traffic signal ETA as part of turn displays
Instead of just showing the total time and upcoming turnings , include traffic lights and ETAs of traffic lights in the turn signal display
E.g. Time is 44 mins , Right turn at Parramatta Rd 200m ETA : 5 mins ,

Please REMOVE the SPEEDOMETER and Show the posted SPEED LIMIT instead!
I usually type long long long posts, but the title of this speaks for itself. Just a couple more details below.....
Nokia had a GPS app called HERE Drive. It showed you what speed you were going and what the posted speed limit of the road was. Very handy.
The release of Windows 10 has caused the HERE Drive app to be deleted and replaced with Windows Maps. Some of it the same and some different, but everything good was taken away. Windows Maps is horrible, and many people are now looking to choose a new app for navigation.

Either allow users to disable popup notifications, or reduce the amount of screen real-estate used to display it
Popups for slow-downs in traffic, traffic cameras, etc may be useful, but why not condense the information into a smaller area which doesnt obstruct ones view of the route. Secondly, why do I need to see the same notification repeatedly when I've already acknowledged it for the first time?

"Open in Waze" - modify the Waze code so a user can click and hold on an address and be given the option to "Open in Waze" for navigation.
"Open in Waze" (or "Navigate to in Waze") would merely allow the user to click and hold on an address in their phone and be given the option to open the address within Waze itself.
A user currently can open an attachment in an email in numerous different downloadable programs. The same is true for address which currently default to the Maps app. It would be nice to see the same integration with Waze.
Then, whenever a person receives a text, email, or other message with an address within it, the user would be able to click and hold on…

Restroom
Allow us to alert waze that we need to stop for a restroom and have it display (while still en route) the next closest stops, how far they are, how far off the route. This would especially help when on a long stretch of highway where there is no hope in sight for a bathroom break.
5 votesWaze allows for adding a stop on the route. By simply typing “Toilet” or “Restroom” in the search field you’ll get the needed results nearby.

ROADWORK: leverage roadwork feed from Swedish transport administration
In Sweden, public feeds of roadwork and traffic events (accidents) are available at no charge on the internet.
Please enable the display of these in the waze client. They could also be used for improved routing.
