Navigation screen for Routes has a problem
On Portrait screen, I may have 3 alternate routes that all appear the same.....
Via: Central Expwy Mountain View;...
45 min. 16.8milesVia: Central Expwy Mountain View;...
42 min. 16.7milesVia: Central Expwy Mountain View;...
49 min. 17.2miles
Waze should verify that the 3 "cut to fit" texts are not identical. If they ARE identical, Waze should abbreviate the hell out of them.
Sure, landscape clarifies things, but it's a pain to swap.

Quick Route Refresh Button
I'd like to see a quick route refresh button on the primary map screen during navigation that I can tap once to force the current route to refresh. I'm often in the midst of a route that I can see is starting to become a bad idea, but the Waze app isn't adjusting for the oncoming traffic issues. If I go in and choose navigate and refresh the route it will often give me an updated route. It would be great if I can accomplish this with a quick route refresh button right there on the map screen.

Ability to select different text scale.
The map screen seems designed for lower resolution phones. When used on Galaxy S4 the text is too small to read. Suggest adding a scale option.

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.

Use car GPS aerial
In some cars the glass treatment screens radio signals making a GPS lock using the phone aerials difficult.
When using Android Auto using the car's GPS aerial rather than the phone would give a better result.
Google Maps seems to do this at the moment.

Ask user on which street he is if GPS accuracy insufficient to determinate it automatically
Sometimes in the beginning of driving or if you driving differently from Wase suggestion Waze can lock on wrong street, if it is two close streets inside GPS accuracy region. I think it will be good if Wase will ask on which street you are exactly if it detects that GPS accuracy is insufficient to determinate it automatically.

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.

integrate with Beeline Moto
there is a great, simple, navigation device for motorbikes called Beeline Moto - https://beeline.co/pages/beeline-moto - it would be awesome if the Waze team would work with them to make Waze the default map/navigation solution for their client, and incorporate a simple way to use the buttons/screen on the device to send reports back while riding (wearing gloves I can't tap the phone screen to report something, but tapping a button on the Beeline Device could step through a reporting wizard quickly and easily)...

Put back the Time Frame on the Home Screen for Planned Drives
After the last update. You can no longer see what time you need to leave at or what time you’ll arrive on the Home/Main Screen, it just shows the location. Before if traffic was suddenly building, you could see the time to leave advance real-time. Now there’s nothing. I don’t know if this is a bug or an intentional change to improve the look, but I hate it

Change Waze user interface on CarPlay (with or without Touch screen) to DEFAULT cursor position is ‘Report’.
I have no Touchscreen on CarPlay, controls therefore are scroll buttons on steering wheel. Whenever I’m driving it take several (4 typically) button presses just to toggle the ‘report’ button (like if there is a car on side of road). I’m recommending that the CarPlay cursor defaults to this button so user just presses ONE click to file a report, confirm a warning or whatever - much safer (eyes on road) and more likely to use as it’s a pain & by the time you reach the selected report button on screen, hazard is past / behind you.

Make car icon customizable
Make the little car icon on the screen while I'm navigating customizable. I'd like to be able to make it look like my car...starting with my car's color. You could have a small number of car types (truck, van, sedan, sports car), or a more elaborate library of make/model/year (I vote for 2010 Chevy Camaro!)
171 votesGreat news! You have 10 different icons to choose from.

Speed limit and gps speed widgets
Would be very helpful to be able to increase the size of the widgets and select where the display them. I only have a 7 inch screen and cannot see them. Widgets should be on driver's side not passenger side.

Please consider adding a "T" for toll roads on the "All routes screen"
Please consider adding a "T" for toll roads on the "All routes screen" when you need to check the other route options.

ETA Only, Time Remaining Only or Both.
In the Settings there should be a feature to have the Main Screen show ''ETA Only'', ''Time Remaining Only'' or Both.
As it is now, the display switches between the two and the user has to keep looking at the screen to get the results they need.
This is NOT SAFE!
As noted on the Android Market, a lot of users want it to display just one or the other, not the schizoid way it is now.

Zoom button in landscape orientation
The zoom button doesn't appear in landscape orientation, just in portrait (when users tap the screen). It appeared in Waze's old look, but with the update (some monts ago), developers made it disappear, I can't guess why. Please, bring it back in landscape orientation.

iOS app is slow at routing and finding GPS and excess screen coverage
Dear Waze, why have you designed your app so poorly? Surely you realise your users are typically driving a car when they use your app? What does that mean? Clearly they have more important things to do than wait for your stupidly slow app and deal with excess pop ups. So first issue: why duplicate pop ups when i initiate a destination? I’ve already selected my favourite destination (or from a list) and tapped once to select it. I should be routing already by now. Instead i get another pop up covering the entire screen/map (so I can’t see…

Big "stop Waze" button
Sometimes (often) you just want to stop and close Waze. But you have to go through menus, which is DANGEROUS while driving. There should be a big readily-visible X on the main navigation screen. Or alternatively, a big readily-visible MUTE button.

Force Reroute Button
Many times i can see that the freeway/higway I´m about to enter is slow moving, and waze wants to route me into that sometimes even if there is reported trafficjams/heavy traffic etc on that road. A button on screen or easy accesssible (poosibly instead of the bulldozer) to force an alternative route would really help
69 votesAvailable on version 2.2 and on. To reroute, click on the green bar (after starting the route).
One of the options is to recalculate the route, i.e. force a reroute.
