  1. Remove 'Reported map issue' from UR description

    This auto generated "Reported map issue" text in the description field isn't adding much value.

    In fact that field is supposed to be extra info from the user..

    Hey, 

    Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Currently Not Planned, since we finalized our plans for 2024 and this idea won't be implemented this year.

    We hope to include it in our plans for later down the line.

    Thanks!


  2. Waze for the handicapped

    I think it would be extremely beneficial for Waze to expand its horizons to help handicapped people find accessible routes to make their commute easier. Even seemingly mundane tasks become arduous given that every navigation system is catered toward visibly able individuals. Maybe partner up with the commuters themselves and create these routes! Google maps should install this feature, pronto.

  3. map legend

    How about a map legend (or explanation)? I'm not sure what some of the symbols (like the red-and-white striped bar) mean, or how the road colors are defined

  4. 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.

  5. Optimized functionalities for motorbikes

    It's too bad Waze doesn't offer any of these functionalities for riders/bikers:
    - deactivate traffic jams in the time calculation (or consider we are at around 50 km/h on these parts of the path)
    - proposing winding/twisting roads with different levels, just like Tomtom and Garmin already do with their devices
    - allowing to create more than one step point to get the perfect itinerary
    - allowing the load of external files (such as .gpx for example) to create roadbooks on our computer (with Google Maps or else) and then send it to our smartphone.

    In brief, just a few…

  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. Honda civic Turn by Turn Navigation in Digital Cluster

    Allow Turn by turn navigation to display in the Honda Civic digital cluster. Currently in the Si and Higher models while using CarPlay only Apple Maps offers this. When using Waze in my digital cluster, it just shows a compass

  9. 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.

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

    kind of like apple maps, tell us where the traffic lights are so we have a better understanding of the map!

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. 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

  15. 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.

  16. Highway's Rest Area and Parkings

    I would like to propose to include on the maps the location of the Rest Areas and Parking along Highways and Local Roads. This would be really helpfull on long trips.
    Also the notification of the nearest Gas station would be an asset to the application.
    Thanks

  17. Prevent drivers from spamming map editors with update requests (URs)

    Waze volunteer map editors have, over a number of years, have raised concerns about the ability for app users, whether intentionally or unintentionally, to submit a high volume of map update requests through the app and other sources. This issue has been consistently raised by volunteer editors at all levels, including editors, area managers, state and country managers, as well as local and global champs who are on the ground editing the map daily. It has also been discussed at local, mega, and global meetups.

    To date, this security concern has not yet been addressed, which is why I am…

  18. 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.

  19. 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.
