Select Notification to be displayed
I miss a "Setting Menu" for "Notifications type".
I'd like to hide some notifications and let some others displayed (ex : hide "traffic" and keep "police" ?)

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
6 votesAt the moment this is not planned, as Nokia itself announced the end of Symbian. Sorry guys.

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.

Snap "Broken Traffic Light" reports to the nearest light & restrict outside valid zones
Currently, users can report "Broken Traffic Light" anywhere, which leads to spam, point-farming, and incorrect placements on highways or open roads with no traffic lights.
Since traffic lights are now an official feature in the Waze Map Editor, the reporting system should be updated:
Snap to Traffic Light Node: To account for delayed reporting while driving, clicking "Broken Traffic Light" should automatically attach the alert to the nearest registered traffic light node passed recently, instead of the driver's current position down the road.
Restrict Invalid Locations: If no traffic light node exists nearby, disable the option or display a message: "No registered traffic light near this location."
This will eliminate point spam, keep the map accurate, and allow drivers to submit reports safely after clearing the intersection.Currently, users can report "Broken Traffic Light" anywhere, which leads to spam, point-farming, and incorrect placements on highways or open roads with no traffic lights.

Keep Lake Ontario. Stand for the character of America as a gracious, strong nation. I will delete in 1 wk
I only want to be associated with companies who put good values over intimidation and bullying. I am a political independent and a proud American. Love America, and stand up for what is right. I am a long time Waze user who will delete my account if Waze does not change the name of Lake Ontario back. Making America great is the same as making a person great - it means making us more good, virtuous, and just, using our strength to lift up all nations. Corporate responsibility means doing your part. Goodbye.

Label Lake Ontario
Do the right thing and label it Lake Ontario. The name given to it by the people of this land - and I’m not referring to its current occupants. Do better.

More community-driven feature
Hello Waze,
I’ve been thinking about something that could be a nice addition to the app.
Waze is already very community-driven through map editing, traffic reports, road alerts, and more. I think it would be great to bring that community spirit into other parts of the app as well.
One idea iscommunity-created custom icons. Users could create, upload, and share their own icons, while others could rate and comment on them. This could lead to unique artwork, memes, seasonal designs, local themes, and other creative ideas.
Another idea could be community-created backgrounds that users could use to further customize their Waze experience.
The rewards we already earn from reporting traffic, police, hazards, and other events could potentially be converted into tokens. These tokens could then be used to unlock or “purchase” community-created icons, backgrounds, and other customization options. So far qhen we report, we only get points so we can unlock achievements which is kinda blank, this i feel could add more functionalities.
This could give the community another reason to contribute, while also making Waze more personal, fun, and creative.
I’m sure there could be many more ideas around this concept, but I think this would be a great place to start.
What do you think?

Enable Toyota instrument cluster navigation
New Toyota vehicles like Corolla 2023+, latest C-HR, and similar cars have the ability to partially show navigation on the instrument cluster in front of the steering wheel. For example turn right after 150 meters. This works with Google Maps, but not with Waze. Waze has implemented this functionality in the beginning of the year 2025, but not for Toyota vehicles. Please add support for Toyota.

Compass carplay
Add the simple compass to the display in CarPlay. My car does not have a built in compass, but does have its own GPS that does show it, but I prefer to use Waze. It would be nice to have the compass in Waze.

Increase the size of the speed limit.
Hi, Waze is a fantastic app and community. I ride a motorcycle and the speed limit display is too small to read.
