  1. Please enlarge the Font on the maps. With the latest update, they are too small. Also, please restore the OLD icons.

    Please enlarge the Font on the maps. With the latest update, they are too small.
    Also, please restore the OLD icons. The new ones are a different color and difficult to use.
    Also, using Waze inside Android Auto is cumbersome. Can Waze be separated out? I really don't like Android Auto or Apple Car Play. My phone and streaming services worked fine without the overhead. Now, EVERYTHING goes through Car Play or Android Auto - text messages, voice mails, streaming, etc. Just pull Waze OUT and let us run it separately from AA and CP.

  2. Rest area icons and an Altimeter

    I use Waze literally every time I get in my vehicle. For both local driving and road trips. It would be awesome to have an altimeter on the screen and to have it show rest areas on the map. Maybe in map editing if we could add rest areas and other places with restrooms to the maps that would be great and a major help for travelers.

  3. Aplicación se bloquea

    Cuando conduzco moto me gusta usar Waze con manos libres, pero si bloqueó la pantalla se pierde la conexión con la aplicación y se cierra automáticamente. Debería seguir dando las indicaciones inclusive con el celular apagado, como lo hace Google maps

  4. It would be great to put toll booths and customs check points on the maps. I have to put 'heavy traffic' every time I go through one. Thanks

    Post toll booths and customs check points so I don't have to put 'heavy traffic' every time I go through one.

  5. Make a Map showing Internet Coverage blackouts...

    ...to show to Cell Phone companies in order to fix it.
    The map would be self-explanatory and self-feeding.

  6. Improve the Waze iPhone API

    Improve the Waze iPhone API. Currently only the features are available using he waze:// api:
    http://www.waze.com/dev/documentation/

    The new google maps app has much much more capability:
    https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/ios/urlscheme

    I would love to be able to create a one tap navigate using waze link to all of my contacts in my address book. I can't do this currently because only queries are possible, plus the queries can't default to a specific search, further you can't navigate to a long/lat. for address which aren't known to waze... These would be very helpful!

  7. Release new symbian version

    The symbian is very popular platform wich is dying, I know. But it is still popular, and mobile phones with symbian Bella are still being released. It would be great to up to date the existing version. I heard that android and iphone use opengl to render 3d maps and symbian doesnt support it, but I think it is not the cause to completely close the symbian project.

  8. put in little icons to tell where the traffic lights are so we know exactly where we are turning!

  9. Making state lines more distinguishable.

    It looks this idea, or similar ideas have been suggested. I've read that Google maps have something like this already in place. Why has this not been done yet? Do I need to use Google Maps instead? I'd rather continue using Waze because it's what I'm use to, but for this I'm willing to switch. Please do something about making the state lines more distinguishable, &/or announcing when you're entering a new state, like other suggestions that have already been made.

  12. Make it so that I can just see a map with my entire route to work with traffic issues, police, etc shown.

    Why should the default be turn by turn to work? That actually doesn't make sense. If I tap on work, I should see the complete map to see what traffic looks like, not some voice telling me how to navigate a drive I have done most days for 10 years. This is in fact so obvious that I can't believe that's not the way it is already. If you do that one thing, I will start using the app every day, and it will be wonderful. For now I guess I will keep using google maps every day.

  13. Change map background to pure black on Android Auto

    Would it be possible to make the background on the map pure black like on the VW maps to get rid of glare at night.

    Could we have the option to export the saved places list (including the names and addresses) to a file (csv) or to Google Maps?

  15. Disable/option iPhone touch-rotating map

    When navigating with my iPhone I usually want to zoom in and out using the pinch movement as most apps use, but half the time trigger the touch to rotate map feature, which I never really need to use.

    My suggestion: Disable this (the map will still rotate when you are heading in a certain direction, which is all anyone should need it to do) or at least have an option to turn it off.

  16. New Functions for Linking External Provider Locations (Google Pin)

    In the past, the WME PIE Script provided a valuable feature that allowed us to directly view the exact location of a place on Google Maps overlaid on the Waze map. Recently, this functionality was removed at Waze's request.

    Most editors, including myself, consider this feature essential. Taking this opportunity, I suggest we request improvements to this linking tool. Below are some current issues and proposed solutions:

    Issue 1:
    Currently, WME allows the same CID to be added multiple times to the same place. This creates disorganization in the links.

    Solution 1:
    Block duplicate additions of the same place. In…

  17. Highway turn arounds on Map

    There are "turn arounds" on highways for authorized vehicles and many police sit there. My GPS shows these turn arounds but Waze does not. I can't use Waze as a GPS replacement because this is extremely valuable information. If the police are using instant on radar or lidar there are times when just knowing these are ahead is invaluable. Saved me more than a few times. It is the only thing the Maps are missing.

  18. Police Heat Map

    What about a feature that shows popular police trap locations. There are locations in my town that are popular with police to setup speed traps. If those areas could glow blue like traffic areas glow red, I think that could be a great feature. If you could use the information that wazers report, then that info could be processed through an algorithm that show the high probability areas.

  19. 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…
