Tagging my saved places in a map view
Tagging my saved places in a map view in addition to the currently existing list view:
✓ The reserved places are shown in a growing list.
✓ Currently the list is sorted alphabetically and I am obliged to remember what the place is called on the map or what name I gave it.
✓ Suggests giving the option to display them also in map view and to choose.
from her✓ This will streamline finding the saved place you are looking for.
✓ Good luck

Roll back to last usable version (fixing voice command and display issues)
The recent update added the gimmicky split-screen feature at the expense of everything that made the app usable. Until you can fix the following, please roll back to the last non-coolwalk version:
• Google Assistant voice commands do not work
• Speed limit is too small to see
• "Time Remaining in drive" is missingI would also like you to rethink the decision of replacing all the icons with ugly little black pills, but that isn't really a technical problem in need of a fix.

Display a "hangup phone" icon within the Waze UI that allows for a quick and easy way to hang up an active phone call.
Problem: When using the "Waze on top" feature, it can be a bit difficult to get to the "hangup phone" icon in the Phone app. This is especially true when driving.
Recommendation: Display a "hangup phone" icon within the Waze UI that allows for a quick and easy way to hang up an active phone call.

MORE navigation options, in addition to shorter time or distance
I would LOVE for waze to have multiple options for routes. For instance :
Standard options:
- shortest distance
- shortest time
Standard avoids :
- avoid toll roads
- avoid highwaysNew ones:
- least turns
- least traffic lights ;New avoiding routes:
- avoid construction routes
- avoid one lane streets
- avoid streets with traffic moving slower thanAll of these should be able to mix and match and specify further details. For instance it would be great if it showed option to list trips within X percent of time to shortest time trip. It can …

CarPlay + Waze / Cluster Turn-by-turn not showing like it does on Android Auto
When using Waze with CarPlay on a vehicle with turn by turn display on cluster, the Waze don't show any direction, while Android Auto display a full direction.
The car in question is a 2024 GWM Ora 03, but the same happens on a 2023 BMW 320i.
Also, I don't know if this specific Cluster/CarPlay API is available for other apps, but this only works using Apple Maps. Waze or Google Maps doesn't show any direction on the cluster while using Apple car Play.

Display intermediate route, Overlapping road section
Hasznos lenne, ha a köztes célt kiválasztva megkülönböztetné a köztes cél és a végcél jelölését addig míg a köztes célten túl nem haladtunk. Pl. szaggatott vonal. Ez akkor probléma, ha koztescélig vezető út keresztezi az onnan elvezető útvonalat. Egyirányú utak vagy más miatt.

Report map issues on CarPlay screen
When hitting report on the CarPlay screen, Map Issue isn't one of the options. If there is a map issue you cannot even do it from the phone since the display is different. You have to quickly unplug the phone from the car so Waze goes into normal phone mode, and do it from there. That is too much of a dangerous distraction messing around whit phone cables and the phone. Everything in the app should be easily accessible on the car play screen. For transcribing the map issue you can use voice to text, exactly how the iPhone works…

Better iPad interface.
The iPad interface is a bit cumbersome to use while driving. I find many of the buttons are too small. I have my iPad docked in a RAM mount next to the stick shift, so its right next to my shift hand.
Different screens appear in different sizes (like the event selection screen is cut in half when reporting a hazard or similar).
Also, display of speed and similar information in the lower right should be larger, much like the turn-by-turn directions in the lower left.
I would also appreciate any prompt buttons to be larger. If the buttons could…11 votes -
I cannot use waze with the new alert display
The new alerts are interfering with my next turn !! I live in a large city with high traffic and LOTS of alerts. This means I have upcoming turns that happen quickly and all day today the alerts come up and suddenly my next turn was completely gone! Im going to have to switch to another app unless there is something done quick. Your can’t expect people to drive in a city and not see their next turn because alerts come up constantly in the city!

Evacuation zones
I know these currently exist via Champs/Coordinators, this is a suggestion on how these work.
We in NC have had a big issue with DOT not knowing every closed road and considered almost half the state as closed. NC leadership worked with champs and coordinators to get an evacuation zone set up. However, we noticed that routing through this zone was still enabled. Based on this here is 2 suggestions we came up with.
1 - Route Around - This suggestion is to restrict travel from outside the zone to outside the zone through the zone completely. This is the…

The "Keep Waze always on display" no longer available on Android phone (it worked for a while). Why is it gone? Google Maps allows this.
The "Keep Waze always on display" is no longer available on my Android phone (it was working for a while). Why is it gone? I want to see the navigation screen by waking up my phone but without having to unlock it (which is dangerous while driving). Google Maps does this, and Google owns Waze.

Variable speed for different vehicle classes
The speed limit for diffent commercial vehicles is different.
Small vans, lorries, trailers etc.My proposal is to be able to choose your vehicle class so the speed limit warning and display is accurate to the vehicle you are driving.
Cheers, Paul.

Android auto 2019 GUI - Delete notification
Since whenever map is not displayed the TbT instructions are permanently displayed on the footer of the display, it makes no sense to display temporary notification in the header area.
-> consider removing it when the new Android auto gui is in use.1 vote -

Show slow traffic in yellow or red
Even if users don't send a notification of slow traffic, if the system detects that a few users are slowing down, change the display of the road to yellow or red. Currently, on the 118 freeway there are some spots about 2 miles long that are very slow, however Waze shows normal.

iPhone Vs Android. Detailed Directions on iPhone, missing on Andoid.
When plugged in via USB an iPhone shows the map on car display and detailed instructions on the iPhone display. Android phone shows map on car display but a blue screen on the phone display, why? Show directions on Android instead of a stupid blue screen! This app is superior on iPhone for that reason. This needs to be fixed ASAP. Blows my mind this feature is not in Android. I want to know 4-5 streets in advanced where I'm going and the turns I need to make so I can get into the proper lane ahead of…

Put the speedometer back to black numberson a white background.
Why can't you people leave a good thing alone. I don't need you to tell me what the speed limit is. Making the display black on red is too hard to read, day or night. I know how fast I'm going. I hate Waze now.
