Report option for areas with no phone service
There should be an option to report when your phone hits a dead spot. This could help in emergency situations. People would know where their calls will drop in order to attempt to reach a location with service available. The data could also be sold to phone companies to gain revenue for waze.

Support ODB bluetooth dongles
Allow the use of an ODB bluetooth dongle to get a number of improvements. These dongles are quite cheap and provide a wealth of extra data. Possible uses:
[ Better dead reckoning using vehicle speed ]
Using the actual vehicle speed combined with compass, accelerometer and map matching it should be possible to have accurate positioning in tunnels/urban canyons. TomTom does this and is able to do near-perfect positioning with only one GPS datapoint every 30 minutes.[ Monitor fuel usage ]
Things like planning a gas stop could be automated. When the tank gets below…31 votes -
allow users to input address from phone when connected to android auto like Google Maps
this is a feature that is available with Google maps but not with Waze. its convenient to hand my phone to my spouse to update and input the address from the phone. we do use the "voice" feature but it is really hit or miss and it's just easier to update address thru the phone instead of the headunit

Audible Alert for Fixed Speed Cameras
Every Sat Nav device that I have ever owned HAS an audible (sound) alert to speed cameras. This is because most drivers keep their eyes on the road most of the time, not on their Sat Nav. I have done some basic programming in the past and know that adding a PING (sound) to something that happens in a software program is the EASIEST thing that a developer could possibly do. So, WHY on earth are Waze developers ignoring this important feature, when so many people ask for it? Just flashing up Speed Camera in words at the bottom…

Alerts should actually play through Carplay audio, rather than remain on my phone, too quiet to hear.
I have tried every setting suggestion that is outlined in your site, and my Waze alerts does not come through my Carplay audio, but stays in the phone. Alerts should actually play through Carplay audio, rather than remain on my phone, too quiet to hear.

CarPlay synergy
When paired with a car play device the speed cameras on the map (especially on motorways) should be displayed similarly to the mobile version (with the blue circle) showing you exactly where the camera is located.

Implement burn-in protection for AMOLED-Displays
Many users of mobiles with AMOLED-Displays report severe burn-in when using Waze on an regular basis.
Please implement an option to activate a real good working burn-in protection.
- Switching off (no dimming, the pixels must really be off!) the whole map if nothing interesting must be shown (no speed camera, no car on shoulder, no turn in 1 km or less).
and
- Rasterize next-turn bar, speedometer, report button, ETA-bar AND shift them a few pixels once per minute. (BTW: this is normal behavior on smartwatches used with display always-on for years)
80 votesThank you for your suggestion!
The Report button was designed to be noticed while blending in and it’s important to keep it as is.
However, we will revisit this idea when working on Dark mode, in the future. Furthermore, since this is a physical issue that OLED phones suffer from in different apps, we recommend to use Battery Saver mode to allow your display some rest from bright colors that might lead to this dysfunction.
Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram. -
Beep should beep when there is speed cameras not just speeding
Can we set a beep from 1-5 or more for speed cameras, we only get notified there is a speed camera if we are speeding we should also get alerted when we are not speeding just beep not “speed camera ahead” i like that when speeding.

Stop using term "speed trap"
For automated camera enforcement of highway speed, the app warns of a "speed trap" ahead. That term implies there is some sort of trick or sneaky way the speed is being enforced, but that is not the case. There is plenty of signage and warning about the camera enforcement. I think you should change it to just "speed camera". That would also be consistent with when the app warns of a red light camera, not a "red light trap". Thanks!

School zone camera speed trap Lawtey, Fl. No flashing lights. 20 mph. Can't read times on sign when driving.
Lawtey, Fl. is operating an unethical school zone speed trap at the light on US 301. There are NO flashing lights and the zone times are impossible to read when driving by at the posted speed of 40 mph. Speed limit drops to 20 and is camera enforced. Ticket for $100 arrives 2 weeks later. If Lawtey was truely concerned about student safety, they would install flashing lights. Their primary objective is to defraud unsuspecting drivers and Lawtey has a long history of being a speed trap.

Search bar on Waze app when using Android auto
When using Android auto, Waze app on the phone is disabled except for popping up with the search bar to enable phone-typing of addresses. Could you add the search bar on the "Using Waze on Android Auto" screen by default on the phone app to make it quicker to get to the phone keyboard instead of having to first click search on Android auto and then being redirected to the phone to type addresses

Be able to access where I last used Waze. aka, "Where did I lose my phone?"
I'd love to be able to find out where I was last, according to Waze. Wherever it was, that's where my phone must have fallen out of my car.
This would be fantastic for times like this, when the lost phone is apparently out of battery and can't be located by standard methods.
How about it, Waze? You could charge a per-use fee for this service if you needed to cover the costs of providing it. It would likely attract many new users, encouraged to become Wazers after being regaled with tales of how Waze saved the day for their…

Move Alerts and Reporting to phone
It would be nice to have the option to replace or share the phone screen with alerts, there/not there, and reporting when using CarPlay. This would give the ability to manage them without having to reach for the CarPlay unit.
