Allow users to choose to display routes on their Phone instead forcing on the Android Auto
Allow users to choose whether to use their phone as Waze for routes or Android Auto as the main display, instead of forcing it to display on Android Auto. Some people want to stream music using Android Auto and use their phones to see directions, as it doesn't distract them from the road. Some head units in cars are positioned lower from the direction of the road and are more of a hassle to look at while driving.

Mobiele Controle
Vandaag waarschuwing voor controle op Hesselerweg. Echter voordat ik kon drukken op bevestigen was ik er al voorbij. Ik denk dat de melding van iemand was uit tegengestelde richting dus is deze voor de andere kant eerder weg. Jammer want ze stonden heel sneaky met een kamperbusje. Advies laar de bevestiging écht wat langer staan.

Voice warnings about several hazards on the road
Waze has been warning about the next turn during a trip for a long time and this is great. However, there are not only maneuvers on the roads but also different hazards. For example: there is a speed control camera ahead, and an accident happened 50 meters before it. Waze will only warn about one event. This is bad. I suggest voicing such events in order, like turns "Accident ahead, then camera." and other events similarly.

Live Average Speed Tracking in Section Control Zones
Waze currently displays the instantaneous speed, which is helpful for fixed speed cameras. However, in Average Speed Check zones (section control), knowing the current speed is not enough.
I suggest that Waze should calculate and display the actual average speed from the start of the measured section to the current point.
How it should work:
When entering a section control zone, a secondary indicator should appear showing the cumulative average speed for that specific stretch.
This would allow drivers to see if their overall average is above the limit, even if their instantaneous speed is currently legal.
The indicator could…2 votes -
Can you PLEASE, add a "While Using App" option
If you could please enable the option to set the location services to "While Using App"
It benefits the user by not needing to actively remember to disable the location services constantly after each trip.
Thus causing it to become a nuisance and development frustration when the app ends up using a chunk of battery during the expedition of each trip. And also when no one is accessing the app, but it's still using data and power either way.
Majority of users have talked about this through other similar posts yet we have seen no such update that has included…1 vote -
Interdire les signalements de police pour un radar automatique
FR : Bonjour, je pense qu'il serait préférable d'interdire les signalements "contrôle de police" dans les zones de contrôle (de radar automatique) car beaucoup de gens signalent ces radars comme des contrôles de police tout ça dans le but de gagner des points (malhonnêtement)..
De plus les radars automatiques sont annoncés par des panneaux en France ! Alors tous les conducteurs sont déjà avertis de ce radar pars le simple fait d'observer les panneaux !
Et ça "polluerait" moins l'écran de navigation.4 votes -

change speed bump to traffic calming device
There are many different devices used to slow vehicles other than speed bumps. Other examples include chicanes, roundabouts, splitter islands, entrance treatment, speed pillows, speed humps and intersection humps. I'm sure there are others too.
The speed bump permanent hazard would fit all of these other types of methods used to slow vehicles down but if we add a speed bump where there technically isn't a speed bump we confuse the wazer and likely will generate unnecessary URs.
If we changed the name from speed bump to 'traffic calming device' (my suggestion), we easily fit all these slow-down methods and…

Beginning of town (inhabited place) indication - for when to let off the gas in advance
Indicate the next beginning of town somehow on the route.
On the map and/or with info saying "beginning of town in 500m ... 400m ... 200m" etc.
Or even just one popup saying "town in 300m".
Or just with a marker on the map! That would also suffice.I have wanted this feature for years.
Very hard to estimate when in an unknown area.
For those of us mindful about eco driving, there is no point in pressing the gas pedal up until the sign and then braking suddenly from 90km/h to 50km/h.It would be nice to know when…

Notification staying up too long and makes information unreadable in the new android auto vehicle display. Close button non functional
Either fix the response of the android auto screen controls so buttons don't require multiple touches or long press (literally 5 seconds at times, even in the report window, literally any button). Cut the time stuff sits on the screen, fix speed sensitive notifications duration, or add a setting to change how long notifications remain on the screen. Incredibly distracting when you have to touch a button 5 times or hold it until the system notices you.

Simplified voice directions
Voice directions can often be unnecessarily long and complicated (eg telling you not just the street or Road to turn down but the state route number which is irrelevant). I see you have bigger directions on and off options, but what about a simplified or minimal directions option? Where you only get Street names, you don’t get an initial “this torture is similar to state route bla bla bla” when starting directions, and perhaps even not several reminders about a turn, or if the next turn is within less than 1km you don’t have to hear the initial turn in…

Police alerts
My request is that you create another alert option which is police alerts alone. That is, the options should be: sound on, alerts, police only alerts, and no alerts. For me, the only real alert that I care about is if there are police or speed cameras.
When I use your app, I typically silence alerts because I don't want to hear about cars stopped on the side of the road and approaching railways, etc. I understand that's important to some people, but for me it just interrupts my music/podcast.

toggle for map when on CarPlay
I’ve been using Waze as my primary navigation app, but ever since Waze was made compatible with CarPlay I’ve been unable to view the map on my phone screen. “Just use the map on the radio screen” you might say. My iPhone is mounted next to my heads up display I have to look down when I have ApplePlay on to use the other music apps. The radio display is too low to view the map safely and is also susceptible to glare. My iPhone is mounted to my dash so I can glance at it without completing taking my…
