When I used Apple Car Play, I could select catagory and then find nearby gas station, drive thrus, shopping centres etc. With Andriod Auto, I only have the option for nearby gas stations and I can't search for the other nearby categories such as drive thru resteraunt.

Haptic alert
Hi
I want all speed alerts to be vibrational - via Apple Watch. I need the feature to be active all the time, so when I run out door and jump in car I know I will be alerted every time I exceed a speed limit. I need the vibration to continue until speed is back within limit.
This is essential for a motorcycle rider and I think best option for car driver also, you can be looking at phone or expecting to hear a ph in noisey environment, let alone feel a vib from phone in a loose coat…

Include a naming system for roads with multiple lanes such as apple , blueberry or carrot etc .
A naming system for lanes could help with direction and lane maintenance .

Latest update talks too much—
Go back to just giving important information. Latest update was cute the first few alerts but annoying and not helpful after that—using Apple car play it blocks other content—please remove all those unnecessary comm

CarPlay enhancement
When using Apple CarPlay, the location triangle is placed WAY too high on the map, allowing only about 25% of the direction to be visible. 75% of the map is where I have already driven, which is useless information. I’d rather have the map show me where I’m going; it where I’ve been. Also, the location triable pin is HUGE and takes up too much space on the map.

Customise CarPlay view
On wide screen car screens Waze buttons are all too small. Make a setting screen to customise the size and layout of the onscreen elements to make it easier to use especially with a touch screen. The Apple buttons have recently been improved in a similar way

Fix the speed display
I rely on the speed limit and vehicle speed showing up on the screen (I use Apple Play in my vehicles). However, recently, it is not showing, although the setting is still set to display it.

CarPlay speed not padded
The current speed, when connected to Apple CarPlay takes the speed from the vehicle and pads it by approx 11%.
Please either show gps speed or car speed provided by vehicle. Padding not required.

CarPlay volumn
Hello
I am so grateful that Waze now works with CarPlay on my new Mercedes E300. I noticed that Waze will reduce the volume of other apps on my iPhone, so that I can continue to hear the other app in the background as Waze provides navigation.
However, Waze appears to connect to CarPlay via the car's navigation volume control while other CarPlay apps connect to CarPlay via the car's entertainment volume control. Consequently, CarPlay stops other audio while Waze makes navigation announcements.
Nice would be a optional setting in Waze for how the app connects to CarPlay, via navigation…6 votes -
Tenho um Iphone6 iOs 12.
Tenho um Iphone6 iOs 12. O waze que está instalado acusa que não está acessando o GPS. Já desinstalei e instalei o waze novamente, sem sucesso. Já liguei para o suporte da Apple, refizemos todas as configurações possíveis e o problema continua. Não consigo mais utilizar o waze no meu iPhone6. Aguardo solução.

Speeding alert for drivers
Waze should make a sound to alert the driver when they are speeding.
Waze already shows you how fast you are currently driving, and it knows everything about the road you are on, so it should be simple to compare your speed to the listed speed of the road.
Waze has always been about saving time and money for Wazers, and about creating features to attract and keep people on their service. This allows Waze to on-sell quality map data to other businesses, such as Apple. Many other SatNav clients have speeding alerts to save the driver from getting…

Please add Siri Shortcuts support for hazard and police reporting in Waze on iOS
Please add Siri Shortcuts support for hazard and police reporting in Waze on iOS. This would allow users—especially those using CarPlay or driving hands-free—to report visual sightings safely and legally.
Apple Maps already supports this (“Hey Siri, report a speed check”), but Waze does not. Since Waze has the most active crowdsourcing community, this feature would significantly improve:
• Driver safety (hands-free hazard reporting)
• Community contribution (more real-time data from CarPlay users)
• Accessibility (voice input for users who can’t interact with the screen)Suggested implementation:
• Expose actions like “Report police (visible/hidden), crash, hazard” to Siri Shortcuts
•…13 votesGreat news! Siri is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out. You may also refer to this link to learn more about on how to use Siri shortcuts in Waze.

Nathan
The Nathan voice has an annoying accent in American. Remove the dipthongs and give him pure Midwestern voice. Or give us some male unaccented voice here in u,s. Example: "half" has "a" as in Apple, not "heh-af". So annoying.

Location data exchange with other maps applications
I copy location in Apple Maps (57,18322° N, 24,83578° E), paste it in Waze, because I prefer driving with Waze. But Waze can't find anything. Please fix this bug. This location format shouldn't be hard to interpret correctly.

Make waze compatible with Bmw inboard applications
Make Waze compatible with native BMW inboard system, like Audible, Amazon Music, Deezer, Napster, and Spotify.
I don't know how much it can be integrated, but in my 2020's car there is apple carplay, but I'm an android user and it's very bad that they is no way for me to use Waze...2 votes -
Close app on iPhone.
Go back to the old system of closing the app. Like many other people, I use my phone for directions and the recent changes are so annoying that I’m seriously thinking of removing the app. I could live with the annoyance of being automatically connected when I’m in my newer car via apple play - but now this is just backward to close the app via my iPhone.

Adding a drop-down for the directions when outside the app
I really prefer using Waze but I hate that it doesn’t drop down from the top like Apple Maps does when I’m not in the app. For all of its features this would be the icing on the cake! Vote for this!

Remove Fog reports when users have weather reports turned off
I have weather reports turned off and yet when it’s foggy my entire map is FULL of fog reports. It’s distracting and completely unnecessary. I can see the fog. Please let us turn this off. (Apple CarPlay)

Fix IOS 16 app
Just updated my iPhone 12 Mini to IOS 16. Unfortunately, the app’s display is extremely disproportional to the screen size & shape, so much that it affects basic user functions. Apple/Waze app developers should look into this ASAP.
