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.

Screen Alerts South London Restrictions
Please, please provide Camera alerts for as short as one hour road entry restrictions eg in rush hour times in London. Results in PCN fines of £65. These experimental road layout changes are frequently changing (over the last 3-4 years) and the simple “Speed camera” type alerts which pop up on the screen would be really really useful! Waze plans the route well to avoid I believe, but we are sometimes tempted to ignore, thinking we know better!
As experienced London drivers know, we have favourite routes developed over a lifetime, so these time-based one or two hour restrictions are…1 vote -
Add navigation options to the main screen, rather than hidden in the Settings
Add navigation options to the main screen, rather than hidden in the Settings.
I frequently need to check arrival times for navigation where I want to take the motorway or avoid the motorway - but the only way to change navigation options is in Settings, which is a) hard to get into when driving (trying to drive and use my phone at the same time is dangerous and/or illegal), and b) impossible to get into via Android Auto on my car's in-built display.
Having a simple Nav settings option on the main navigation screen - particularly for Android Auto…

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

Don’t need mute/unmute on screen at all times.
Don’t need mute/unmute on screen at all times. Prefer my Map controls back vs something I will never use. At a minimum, please allow us to customize what shows as top level controls.

Ability to respond to or report hazards in split screen view
The latest update for Waze has enabled support for split screen view however the 'Report Hazard' button has not been added to this new split screen view.
This means that now to report a hazard requires an extra button click because you have to click the map and enter full screen mode and then you need to click again on the 'Report Hazard' button. A major problem with this extra button click being added is that this now makes it more dangerous to report hazards but also by the time you finally press the 'Report Hazard' button you will most…

Make the speed limit and speed bigger
The speed limit and current speed are so small on the screen you can’t really see it when glancing - needs to be a similar size as the one on Google maps abs Apple Maps and make it so it’s easily readable

Police report improvement
Hello! I have an idea to improve police report, because it is one of most important part. Please put the quick police button (one-click report) on the main screen, when are "my place" button and NORTH-place. This button also may be hidden as others. In practise - one click on screen, buttons appears and click police. It will be less dangerous to report while driving. Thank you in advance.

Put the Car Info button under options
The "Car Info" button should be under the options/settings menu not on the main screen.
11 votesThank you for your suggestion!
This suggestion will not be implemented for the time being, since we’re focusing on features which would potentially benefit larger groups of Wazers.
Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram. -

Mirror link support!
Most newer vehicles are coming from the factory with mirrorlink, support for mirrorlink would alow me to use waze with my factory touch screen. Much like the pioneer support. Having this as I'm sure for others would allow us to use waze all the time!

Add a HOT/HOV lane on-screen toggle
Please add an on-screen toggle when the HOT/HOV lane is coming up. Many people have different times they use the lanes. For instance, I always use the HOV lane when I have another passenger, but obviously never use it when I am alone. For the HOT lane, I only use it if the cost is under a couple dollars. I've seen it go up in the teens, and that is way too much. I only make these decisions while already driving because I'm not thinking about them at the start of the trip in the suburbs. If I'm driving…

Dim screen between directions and alerts
It would be great to have an option to allow the screen to go off until a direction or alert announcement was about to be made. This would:
- Save battery life (for when you forget your charge cable!)
- Be a great visual trigger when sound is off (when the baby is sleeping in the back)
- Help prevent screen burn in for those phones with that issue0 votes -

Incorporate BMW/MINI Connected into Waze.
I'm not suggesting that the map show on the screen, just the ability to report events and respond to questions such as traffic slowdowns. Ok, and maybe start nav...
Much safer than having to look down at the phone.

Android Jelly Bean multi window support
There is a new feature in Jelly Bean, on higher resolutions I can split the screen between 2 apps, so it would be nice if Waze supported that too, so I could see Waze AND music player simultaneously.
