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.

Link Waze Places to Wikidata
Please add the ability to link Waze Places (POIs) to their corresponding Wikidata items by specifying a Wikidata ID. This would help identify places unambiguously and connect them to multilingual names and other structured information.

Always Display the Next Turn for Safer, Easier Navigation
🚗HELLO FELLOW WAZERS, IF THIS IS A FEATURE YOU’D LOVE TO HAVE, PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO HIT THE ⬆️ VOTE BUTTON!
If you’ve ever completed a turn only to discover that your next turn or maneuver is almost immediately afterward, and suddenly you need to get across two or three lanes, you know exactly why this feature would be helpful.
I believe Wazers would benefit from Waze making navigation even more helpful by offering an option to always display the next turn or maneuver underneath the current navigation instruction.
➡️ NEXT: Turn right in 500 ft
↩️ THEN: Turn left in 0.3 miOne quick glance. Two navigation instructions visible. No need to touch the screen just to see what comes next.
This would be more than a convenience feature. Potentially, it’s a safety feature that everyone could benefit from.
Knowing the next turn or maneuver in advance gives drivers more time to choose the correct lane, anticipate an upcoming turn, exit, fork, or other maneuver, and avoid sudden lane changes or last second decisions. It also gives drivers one less reason to interact with the screen while the vehicle is moving.
Ideally, this could be an optional setting such as:
Settings → Navigation → Always Show Next Turn
Drivers who prefer the current display could leave it unchanged, while those of us who want more advance notice could simply turn the feature on.
If this is a feature you would find useful, please take a moment to tap the ⬆️ VOTE button. Every vote helps show Waze that its community is genuinely interested in having this option added.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and thank you to everyone who votes and helps bring more attention to the idea.
Safe travels, fellow Wazers! 🚗💨

iOS27 CarPlay Alternate Route List
The window for alternate routes in the new iOS27 CarPlay needs to be bigger. It only displays one route at a time and is hard to scroll. Bring back the larger box that allows for multiple routes to all be seen at one time

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?

I would love if the EMA from Star Trek's Academy kept giving me directions
Of all the voices I've heard giving me directions, Roberto Picardo's EMH Voice is one of the best. I am disappointed that his voice will be leaving WAZE soon. His, or maybe Majel Roddenberry's voice. =)

Bring back "Reports Ahead" on Android Auto
Bring back "Reports Ahead" on Android Auto. Latest update removed option to see the list of Reports Ahead. Seeing these is critical when you are route planning. Especially on the fly when there is traffic, closed roads, accidents, etc. Specifically in Subarus but I'm guessing other auto brands too.

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.

BMW idrive 7
Dear Waze Team,
I am a dedicated Waze user and BMW driver, and I would like to raise a feature request that I believe would make Waze significantly better and safer to use in BMW vehicles: proper integration into the instrument cluster and head-up display.
I currently use Waze in a BMW G42 M240i xDrive, model year 2021, equipped with iDrive 7, Apple CarPlay, and the latest iOS and Waze versions. While Waze works well on the central CarPlay display, navigation instructions are not shown in the digital instrument cluster or in the BMW head-up display. This means that important guidance, alerts, and turn-by-turn information remain limited to the center screen.
For everyday driving, this is a noticeable limitation. BMW’s native navigation system already makes excellent use of the cockpit and HUD by displaying guidance directly in the driver’s field of view. This is not only more convenient, but also safer, because the driver can keep their eyes closer to the road instead of repeatedly looking over to the center display.
From what I have seen, BMW vehicles with iDrive 8 have recently started to receive support for this kind of enhanced Waze integration. That is a very welcome development. However, many BMW drivers are still using iDrive 7, including owners of relatively modern vehicles such as the G42 2 Series. These cars are technically capable of showing navigation information in the cluster and HUD through BMW’s own navigation system, so it would be extremely valuable if Waze could support this functionality as well.
I would therefore kindly ask Waze to consider extending full cockpit integration to BMW vehicles with iDrive 7. Ideally, this would include turn-by-turn directions, lane guidance, next manoeuvre information, speed-camera alerts, police warnings, hazard reports, and other relevant Waze notifications in the instrument cluster and, where supported, the head-up display.
This would be a major improvement for BMW users who rely on Waze because of its excellent real-time traffic information, community alerts, police reports, and speed-camera warnings. At the moment, many drivers have to choose between Waze’s superior live data and BMW’s better cockpit integration. Bringing Waze into the cluster and HUD would remove that compromise and make Waze the obvious choice for many premium-car drivers.
I would be very grateful if you could forward this request to the responsible product, automotive integration, CarPlay, or Android Auto team. It would also be helpful to know whether support for BMW iDrive 7 cluster and HUD integration is already being considered, tested, or planned for a future release or beta program.
Thank you very much for your time and for continuously improving Waze. I genuinely hope this feature can be brought to iDrive 7 users as well, as it would make a meaningful difference to comfort, safety, and the overall driving experience.
