Driving directions on virtual cockpit
Hey Wazers, I have found out, that when you use Apple Maps app through CarPlay, it is able to transfer information about next driving direction (for example "in 100m turn right" and an arrow) to the control unit of my car and it then shows it to me on my virtual cockpit. Since anothe iOS app can do this, I hope others should be able to, arent they? It will be really good to implement this...

Stop Taking over Car Audio in CarPlay
It is extremely annoying when Waze opens on car play that it changes my audio source to the CarPlay as well. It’s so annoying that I have gone back to using Google or Apple Maps exclusively, as they do not do this.

CarPlay Instrument Cluster Support
Apple CarPlay has started to support instrument clusters (Display behind the steering wheel), however so far it only supports Apple Maps. Developers have said this is available for apps like Waze to utilize, but you guys would have to update it to support that. I was hoping you guys could push this update as it would be very convenient and helpful. Currently using CarPlay on a Land Rover with the latest Pivi system. Thank you!

App for map editors
There should be an app for map editors so that they can edit the map away from a computer.

Radar alert with visual speed information
I suggest inserting the speed information into the radar notification. The notification now only reports that there is a radar a few meters ahead, not to mention speed. The radar speeds are all set up in the Waze maps, being information that can be easily extracted. The feature would certainly help many users, even eliminating the use of applications that perform this function. I also recommend that in settings there be options to "always be notified", "be notified only when above speed" or "never be notified." Allowing the user to decide on notifications.

ETA in the notification bar
It would be great if the ETA and distance lwft showed as a drop down mini version in the notification bar. Google Maps has this,but I prefer Waze.

Both Android and IPhone users on the same map
While driving with a friend who had an iPhone5 (I have a Samsung S3), we noticed that our maps were not showing the same wazers or reports. Displaying both will give more accurate reports and be more fun! I want to see all reports and friends, not just those on Android!

The "Keep Waze always on display" no longer available on Android phone (it worked for a while). Why is it gone? Google Maps allows this.
The "Keep Waze always on display" is no longer available on my Android phone (it was working for a while). Why is it gone? I want to see the navigation screen by waking up my phone but without having to unlock it (which is dangerous while driving). Google Maps does this, and Google owns Waze.

Customize your Waze map!!!
I suggest that in Waze, in the settings menu and then in map display, you can customize the map...
Example : Highway in red, Departmental in purple...And that the "Map Editor" mode be available at night...

State line
When crossing into a different state it would be nice to receive an audible alert and/or a pop up notification that you have crossed into a new state like Google maps does. When on a long road trip sometimes we don’t know what state we have crossed into and it would be helpful to get notified.

Virtual cockpit and android auto - improved turn by turn signs and sugestions in VC
When using Virtual Cockpit in VW group cars I can have waze or google maps turn by turn indications displayed in the middle of the virtual cockpit screen, only the next turn. Google maps shows indications correctly for roundabouts, u turns or straight left/right but waze indications in the center screen are all messed up, although the notification on phone and the next turn on the central screen with android auto is displayed corectly

Why won’t the maps allow me to cross the dartford tunnel/ QE2 bridge
It won’t let me go through the tunnel or over the bridge. I have clicked allow the dart charge as an exemption but it makes no difference. Ive deleted it and re-downloaded it but it doesn’t work.

Stop reporting minor incidents. Stop sending data to Google Maps that there is an accident
Allowing people to be amateur journalists has become a real danger. You list an accident on Google maps, but on Waze, is just a car on the shoulder. Listing these minor incidents causes people to have more traffic and accidents.
You are promoting people to use their phones to report data to you, that you turn around and sell to other companies. Sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen. Why can't you just change it to major incidents. When the police are showing up to an accident, why do i see several police traps right by the accident? Maybe…

Rest area icons and an Altimeter
I use Waze literally every time I get in my vehicle. For both local driving and road trips. It would be awesome to have an altimeter on the screen and to have it show rest areas on the map. Maybe in map editing if we could add rest areas and other places with restrooms to the maps that would be great and a major help for travelers.

Apple Carplay waze en google maps
Het zou goed zijn om te weten in welke straat we aan het rijden zijn doormiddel van een apparte vak te tonen !
Ook zou het leuk zijn om te weten wat de volgende afslag wordt en welke de volgende straat is en of kruising !
Het tonen van verkeersborden zou ook Ideaal zijn ( eenrichtingsverkeer, verbod om in te halen, voorrangsweg, ... etc ) !

Increase the number of polygons on the map
In Live-map the map is well drawed & high level detailed. But when i see same region in Waze-client its not looks so fine, because at least half of polygons was optimized. Its makes Waze-client looks badly & not so attractive.

mapless mode
how about a screen that just displays the speed and any nearby alerts (range user selectable) for when we're just driving and don't need the GPS? This could cut down on data (and battery) usage by not fetching maps, but still let us provide data back to the system.

Add a general route view to Waze in Android Automotive (AAOS) in cars with two screens available (similar to Google Maps for Android Auto)
Add the possibility to see the general route view in the main car screen, while having the navigation route view in the screen behind the steering wheel. In this way, it is possible to make use of the two screens in the cars - one showing the navigation, the other showing the overall route (as it is available on Google maps for Android Auto). Thanks
