Access to view live traffic cameras where available publicly on the internet like around Pittsburgh, PA..
In many cities there are traffic cameras posted on major routes. These are available over the internet and mobile phones so drivers can see live feeds. It would be great if Waze showed those along routes or on the maps so drivers can quickly view current conditions.
We should also be able to add these to the maps through the editor and link to the published URLs of the cameras.

Suggestion on Live Reports (Cross Streets)
It would be nice to know the closest cross street or major cross street of the report. Currently I see only the street that the user reported it on. Some of those roads are miles long and it would help to know where so I may change my route.

Create a "soft warning" for known situations.
For example: A location where speed traps are consistently reported would have a warning in a radius such as "speed traps have been reported here." The color of the warning could fade from red to orange as reports decline or vice versa. There's one street I travel where there's a cop shooting radar 80% of the time. There could be a warning about that regardless of if a Wazer had been through recently.

Make lock button switch off the screen without locking it
It would be great if switching on/off the screen could be realized by the lock button with no need to unlock the screen. Code:
KeyguardLock kgLock;
public void onCreate() {
KeyguardManager kgm = (KeyguardManager) getSystemService(Activity.KEYGUARD_SERVICE);
kgLock = kgm.newKeyguardLock(TAG);
kgLock.disableKeyguard();
}@Override protected void onDestroy() { kgLock.reenableKeyguard(); super.onDestroy(); } @Override protected void onPause() { super.onPause(); kgLock.reenableKeyguard(); } @Override protected void onResume() { super.onResume(); kgLock.disableKeyguard(); }6 votes -
Display direction of new road (e.g. I-10 *West*)
Most of the time I get messed up using Waze is when I encounter a roadway or freeway turn where there may be immediate opportunity to go either way, e.g. I-10 East or I-10 West, or TriCity Parkway North vs. TriCity Parkway South. The display shows only "I-10" or "TriCity Parkway".

camera first
As a user option, allow me to open camera immediately upon press of REPORT button (as opposed to choosing the report type). This way the photo op won't be gone by the time I fumble through the type of report to submit. After photo is taken, I'll choose the report type, type in the details, and submit everything.

Symbian S^3 version for Nokia N8 and co ?
The Symbian S60v5 version can be launched on a N8 but it often crashes. Maybe the S60 version can be adapted to work better on N8 but you're the only ones who can confirm or not ;).
Thank you

Road goodies icons smaller or display under other objects
I understand the incentive idea of road goodies, and also understand you can just turn them off. But I would prefer another option which is either to make them smaller in size or be "under" other items (IE: roads, route, traffic coloring, etc.)

Voice Instructions: Bear Right, Keep Right
Voice navigation instructions use "Keep Right (Left) in 2 conditions making it a bit confusing: When on an undivided road approaching a divided section of the same road, and when approaching an intersection with a gradual right (left) turn. "Bear Right (Left)" would be a more appropriate instruction for the 2d situation.

ROADWORK: leverage roadwork feed from Swedish transport administration
In Sweden, public feeds of roadwork and traffic events (accidents) are available at no charge on the internet.
Please enable the display of these in the waze client. They could also be used for improved routing.

Let users customize auto tweets such as "Acabo de reportar una redada policial, ..."
Traffic enforcement corps are different from country to country so it might be a good idea to let users tweak their auto tweets a little. They might have the application configured in a language but tweet in another, etc.

Show trip history for the same destination
It would be very useful if Waze could show a user’s previous driving history to the same destination.
Today, Waze only shows a small history/search icon for places that appeared in my past searches or navigation history. However, this does not provide enough useful information about when I actually drove there or how long the drive took.
The main benefit would be the ability to quickly see when I last drove to that destination. For example, if I search for a place I visited before, Waze could show the last time I navigated there, along with previous trips to the same destination.
This could include:
● The date and time of the last trip
● Previous trips to the same destination
● The actual driving time for each trip
● Average travel time based on my own history
● Best and worst travel times I personally experienced
This would help users remember when they last visited a place, and also better understand how long the drive usually takes for them based on their own real driving history - not only based on current traffic estimates.
For destinations I visit from time to time, such as family, work, school, appointments, or places I do not visit regularly, this feature could make trip planning and personal tracking much easier.
יהיה שימושי מאוד אם Waze תוכל להציג למשתמש את היסטוריית הנסיעות הקודמות שלו לאותו יעד.
כיום, Waze מציגה רק אייקון קטן של היסטוריית חיפוש עבור מקומות שהופיעו בחיפושים או בניווטים קודמים שלי. עם זאת, המידע הזה לא מספק מספיק ערך שימושי לגבי מתי באמת נסעתי לשם או כמה זמן הנסיעה לקחה.
היתרון המרכזי יהיה האפשרות לראות במהירות מתי בפעם האחרונה נסעתי לאותו יעד. לדוגמה, אם אני מחפש מקום שכבר ביקרתי בו בעבר, Waze תוכל להציג את הפעם האחרונה שבה ניווטתי לשם, יחד עם נסיעות קודמות לאותו יעד.
המידע יכול לכלול:
- התאריך והשעה של הנסיעה האחרונה
- נסיעות קודמות לאותו יעד
- זמן הנסיעה בפועל בכל נסיעה
- זמן נסיעה ממוצע על בסיס ההיסטוריה האישית שלי
- זמני הנסיעה הטובים והגרועים ביותר שחוויתי באופן אישי
זה יעזור למשתמשים לזכור מתי הם ביקרו לאחרונה במקום מסוים, וגם להבין טוב יותר כמה זמן הנסיעה לשם בדרך כלל לוקחת עבורם, על בסיס היסטוריית הנסיעות האישית שלהם - ולא רק על בסיס הערכות תנועה נוכחיות.
עבור יעדים שאני מבקר בהם מדי פעם, כמו משפחה, עבודה, בית ספר, פגישות, או מקומות שאינני מבקר בהם באופן קבוע, הפיצ׳ר הזה יכול להפוך את תכנון הנסיעה והמעקב האישי להרבה יותר קלים.

Waze HUD Navigation Missing on BMW OS8 (Apple CarPlay)
Category: Bug Report / Feature Integration
Platform: Apple CarPlay
Vehicle / System: BMW with Operating System 8 (OS8)
Description
When using Waze via Apple CarPlay, navigation instructions and turn-by-turn prompts are not displayed in the vehicle's Head-Up Display (HUD) under BMW OS8.
Important Context: The vehicle's CarPlay HUD interface is fully functional. When using Apple Maps, all turn-by-turn arrows and lane guidance are projected onto the HUD without any issues. The problem is specific to Waze, as the app currently does not seem to output the secondary screen navigation data required for the BMW HUD.
Expected Behavior
Waze should utilize the native Apple CarPlay dual-screen/instrument cluster API so that navigation prompts are displayed in the BMW OS8 Head-Up Display, just as they are with Apple Maps.Category: Bug Report / Feature Integration

Fire Truck Icon
Hello Waze Team,
I would like to suggest the addition of an official fire truck and emergency vehicle icon/mood within the Waze application.
This feature could be very useful for firefighters, rescue teams, and emergency response personnel, allowing better visual representation within the Waze community.
Beyond the visual aspect, this implementation could also strengthen engagement from emergency service users and support road safety awareness initiatives.
Suggested vehicle icons could include:
- Fire engine
- Ambulance
- Rescue vehicle
- Rapid response unit
These icons could also be released during safety campaigns, emergency preparedness events, or special community activities.
Thank you for considering this suggestion and for the continuous improvement of the platform.
Best regards.
