Car pointer more centered
Especially when in landscape mode, the car pointer is at the very bottom of the screen, what does not allow to have a good view of the roads and surroundings.
Please make at least an option to have the car pointer more centered on the screen.10 votes -
Partner with Chrysler so Waze can be one of the apps displayed on the screen of the new Uconnect systems in 2013 Rams etc
The new Uconnect system supports some mobile apps and I think Waze would be awesome to use on it instead of just merely hearing Waze through the speakers.

Add Buttons
Its difficult to give reports when one is driving at 120 km/hr. Users must be able to add buttons, similar to speed reading on the screen, where once can report by touch of a button. One should also have option to drag and place these buttons anywhere on the screen
I would add following to my screen when driving.
- Report Car on Shoulder
- Report Pothole
- Heavy traffic
- police (visible / Invisible.7 votesLong tap on Report button brings up 3 the most common report types.

Ability to disable features
Give users ability to disable/opt-out of CarPool. I drive for work, and cannot have passengers, but frequently have navigation blocked by the "Carpool" screen when adjusting my phone in the holder / accidental contact with right side of screen.

have the entire app bluetooth to the radio screen so you can have map and voice not just voice
have the entire app bluetooth to the radio screen so you can have map and voice not just voice. I have to use the phone for the map and the directions comes out over the radio. It would be ideal to be able to have the app extend to the radio screen

Waze takes up too much space in CarPlay split screen mode
Waze takes up too much unnecessary space on the right side of the screen when using CarPlay split screen, to the point where you cannot see the music title anymore. This only happens when there is a lane indicator (see link below). Google and Apple Maps don’t have this issue. This should be adjusted so your music title is not hidden when the lane indicator is active.

Get rid of info screen at start
Dear Waze UX design team,
I see that recently you made some progress on Waze's UI/UX.. unfortunately in the wrong direction, that makes the most important thing (navigation) slightly less accessible. For now, these "improvements" remain a minor UX nuisance compared to the good old major UX blunder: the info screen that comes up right after punching in a new destination.
The main reason for using a navigation software is to retrieve information about WHICH WAY TO GO next in order to reach my intended destination. The info screen pop-up is just 100% covering up this very essential information, exactly…

Fully intigrated Android Auto widget screen display, just as using Google Maps lets you do. Chrrently using Waze on android auto takes over
Fully intigrated Android Auto widget screen display, just as using Google Maps lets you do. Currently using Waze on android auto takes over the entire screen as opposed to a smaller map which also allows side widgets such as messages and Spotify displays. Google Maps allows you to have this screen set up, but I don't like using Google maps, I like Waze.

Move the Incident Timeline to the Main Navigation Screen + Live Position Indicator
Place the full incident timeline directly on the main navigation screen and add a live vehicle marker showing the user’s exact position on the time-based route bar. This lets drivers instantly understand where they are within the timeline, what hazards are coming next, and how far they are from each report — all without leaving the main map.

Transparency for the blue turn by turn screen
Transparency for the blue turn by turn panel
I would like to make a proposal:
- could you make the panel with the blue turn by turn display transparent? or the possibility for us of changing its transparency ?
Thanks.4 votes -
More integration with Apple CarPlay
Will Waze ever have similar functionality, such as Apple Maps that more fully integrates in with Apple CarPlay, including the heads up display and the dashboard in addition to the navigation screen? I have a BMW and apples map capability, seamlessly integrates into the heads up display and the dash in addition to the NAV screen, and it would be great if Waze went through the same thing.

Put Common Alerts on One Screen for 1 Button Alerts
it takes too long to send an alert. Put the most used alerts on one screen so that we can press one button quickly. Today, it takes at least 3 buttons to send an alert. It takes one's attention and focus on the screen which means you don't have your attention on the road. Not only would this be safer, youi might end up with more alerts being sent because it easier and quicker to inform other Wazers. If you really want to take this idea further, you could allow the user to customize the alerts screens for the…

Please add an optional toggle for destination pins to stay on screen after arriving
Please add an optional toggle for destination pins to stay on screen after arriving. I find as a delivery driver that the pins disappear way to soon especially in dense buisiness/ residential areas then I have to open up different map program.

Car pointer is in the other side of the screen
The problem is that when i use Waze on my car multimedia which is android, the pointer of the car is located on the right of the screen and on the left there is the search bar, I was trying to hide the search bar so the pointer is more in the center of the screen but could't find a solution. Its very inconvenient when you drive a left wheel drive vehicle and the pointer is on the passanger side. Hope you find a solution. I can share a picture if you need it, thanks!

Advanced config options: GPS reboot cycle time
Some phones need quite some time, after powering the GPS system on and off, to get a lock. It seems to me that waze, after not detecting a GPS lock after X seconds, power-cycles the GPS subsystem.
It would be great (and very easy to add?) if there were some advanced config option to configure this behaviour, and select after how much time waze power-cycles the GPS system.2 votes -
Add “avoid freeways” to drop down menu on map screen.
It would be super useful to have the option to avoid freeway’s using the drop down list instead of having to scroll through all the preferences to find it. Especially once you’ve already started driving, and you want to change routes. It’s much more useful than “avoid ferries” when you live in a big city. I have 3 freeways near my home, and when I need to go just a few miles it always wants to put on a freeway just to have me get off one exit later.

Australian TTS voice Kylie is only available while I'm in Australia - why region-lock voices?
We live in a world where people aren't restricted by country borders, and so it's always frustrating when you're faced with a feature or an app on your phone that's not available simply because of where in the world you might currently be.
I'm Australian and have really embraced using Waze over Google Maps over the years. One of the reasons this has been so easy is because of Kylie, the TTS voice I have selected. However, when I go to another country Kylie suddenly stops being available and Waze sounds British or American with no option to change it…

Parked Time/Timer
Maybe add a time and timer for when you parked and how long you’ve been parked?
Some parking areas require you to move your car at certain times — for example, some places only allow parking for 2 hours, 2.5 hours, or even less or more. It would be useful to have that kind of timer.
Normally, when I’ve parked, I just close the Waze app and don’t click on “Parked.”
It would be useful to have this feature in the Waze app, and for it to show on the phone’s lock screen?
Example on lockscreen:
Parked…

Keyboard missing on vehiscle screen when using Apple Car Play
The Keyboard is missing on the vehicle screen when using Apple Car Play. This forces the use of the app on the phone to enter a destination. Totally user unfriendly. The microphone function isn't totally reliable and can be frustrating.
