  3. Removal of turn by turn view via auto android via phone

    Could you adjust the phone screen when connected to android auto, main screen on the display in the car, the turn by turn to be removed so you can view the navigation on your phone rather than the display.
    Honestly looking down rather that looking across slightly seems alot more safer when driving. I'm resorting to not connecting my phone through the usb connection due to this change.

  4. The speed trap alert sound should consider the speed limit of the trap

    The speed trap alert sound should consider the speed limit of the camera and not the current road the driver is on.

    In situations where the driver is on a fast road and is about to exit to a slower road with a speed trap, the driver does not receive the sound alert as they should if they were already on the road with the camera.

    For example: A driver is driving at 90 km/h on a road with a speed limit of 100 km/h, following a route already indicated on Waze. The driver is going to take an…

  6. Speed cameras

    Is it possible that you can add in settings on “display” that we can edit the photo size of the speed camera that is coming up on our route. And if we can change the colour of it to our interest.. as the gray camera is hard for me to see and the size of it is small for me to notice..

    Thank you for your great work making Waze 🤩

  8. Save Battery by turning off the display when not in use.

    Currently when I use waze, my phones display is draining the battery. I have the following suggestion to reduce the battery usage. If you could include this in future release, I am sure everyone will turn on waze even if they don't need navigation assist.

    My suggestion

    Turn off the display automatically after a certain speed or give the user an option to turn off the display without locking the phone. This will be very helpful to reduce battery usage when you travel familiar routes and long road trips.

    Turn on the display automatically when there is a…

  10. password field in mobile app doesn't show characters

    typically when entering a password on a mobile application (iPhone), you can see the last character entered so that mistakes are minimized.
    in the current app (8/2015) this doesn't happen. this is a non-standard text entry field... tsk tsk

  13. Add Average Speed Display Next to Remaining Distance in Speed Camera Zones

    I have a feature suggestion that could greatly enhance driver awareness and safety:
    Please display the current average speed next to the remaining distance when driving in zones monitored by average speed cameras.

    Why this matters:

    It helps drivers maintain the right pace throughout the entire zone.
    
    Reduces last-minute braking near the end of the zone.
    
    Makes the driving experience less stressful and more controlled.
    

    Other navigation apps are beginning to include similar features, and I believe Waze can do it even better.

    If you find this helpful, please upvote so we can get this on Waze’s radar! 🙌

  14. When I connect my phone to Android Auto, do not force me to display Waze on my car's infotainment screen

    Version 4.93.5.11 for Android forces me to display Waze on my car's infotainment screen. When I connect my phone to my car, I prefer to display Google Maps on the infotainment screen (via Android Auto) and display Waze on my phone's screen. That way, Waze provides me to with look-ahead traffic alerts, but Google Maps is available for navigation, adding side trips, etc.

    However, with this latest version of Waze, once I connect my phone, Waze displays on the phone's screen a message directing me to my car's infotainment screen and Android Auto.

    I can still run…

    This suggestion will not be implemented for the time being, since we’re focuing on features which would potentially benefit larger groups of Wazers.

  16. Fix the phone overheating issue

    Let me explain the background on this. I've been happily using Waze with AA in my car for several years. All of a sudden, mid Feb 2024, my phone is overheating, sometimes before I even leave my driveway! I added a utility to my phone to troubleshoot and what I discovered is atrocious. This started right around Feb 19th. Whenever I have Waze running in the car, Google Maps is also running in background. If I use Google Maps to navigate, the phone doesn't overheat and Waze doesn't open either. I am already in the Beta group for Android Auto,…

  17. View map on mobile to select point on map, law enforcement

    Similar to Google Maps interface, in which I can pin a point on the mobile app and start navigation on Android Auto. I frequently use Waze to safely navigate to reported accidents, debris and disabled vehicles. Waze reports are significantly more location-accurate than my dispatcher saying "Respond to the area of Exit 45 for a crash." Before the last update, I could force stop Waze on my phone, reopen the app to the map, pin a location next to the incident and start navigation, then reopen the app on Android Auto to navigate. With the latest update, I can…

  18. Request to restore Red color for Speed and Red Light Camera pop-up banners.

    Subject: Request to restore Red color for Speed and Red Light Camera pop-up banners.
    Message:
    I am writing to provide feedback regarding the recent change to the pop-up warning banners for speed and red light cameras. These alerts were previously Red but have recently changed to a dark gray/black color in Night/Dark mode.
    I strongly urge you to revert these alerts back to Red for the following safety reasons based on driving psychology and neuroscience:
    Visual Saliency (The "Pop-Out" Effect): Studies show that the human brain has a "Saliency Map" that scans for high-priority colors. Red triggers stronger gamma-band…
