Business Icons Overlapping Navigation Directions
What if the icons / markers / commercials for the paying customers / businesses would not cover the navigation directions completely? Nor the icons of "Police", "Speed Camera" and other users' reports?
I'm keeping the audio set on "Alerts only" and we almost missed a road exit completely masked by a LIDL store icon (we were on a suspended intersection somewhere in Slovenia / Croatia, the store was somehow below us and its icon completely covered the navigation direction). Then it happened again with a speed camera, then a police radar had the same faith...
Luckily, the alerts…

Traffic cameras combined with Waze live map for visual context
Traffic cameras provide visual context for the roadway environment. Humans are visual and like to have visual confirmation. "A picture is worth a 1000 words". Favorite cameras can be included to provide information along a regularly traveled route. This will provide the Wazer with the opportunity to view conditions prior to committing to a route. Traffic cameras can be displayed along alternate routes.Traffic cameras can be enabled when a Wazer is stationary to avoid driver distraction.

Custom Speed Threshold for Radar Alerts (SPAIN)
Waze should allow users to set a custom speed threshold for radar alerts. Currently, it only warns when exceeding the limit, but for those without cruise control, it’s easy to unintentionally speed up just before passing a camera. A feature to get a warning slightly below the limit (e.g., at 115 km/h in a 120 km/h zone) would help prevent accidental fines and improve road safety.

Make the speedometer movable (floating mode)
Hi Waze team,
I’d like to suggest adding an option to make the speedometer movable or floating. When using Waze in landscape mode, alerts such as speed camera warnings sometimes cover the speedometer, making it impossible to see the current speed. I often rely on it because it shows the exact speed, so having the ability to move or reposition it would be very helpful.
Thank you for considering this improvement!

Map UK police ANPR scanners
I like to suggest that UK police ANPR scanners are crowd-mapped and potentially included as an option that one might like to avoid when navigating
Background:
Police have set up thousands of number plate scanners in the UK which record passing traffic including images of front passengers.These create motion profiles which are stored on non-public database regardless of suspicion or explicit consent with no right to view your own data).
Camera locations are not published also even though ANPR cams are visible for people who know what they look like.
WAZE could crack this lack of informational self-determination and…

Add back the Car
Add back the filters for Crash, Car on Shoulder, Car on Road, etc to the desktop version. As a Department of Transportation, we use WAZE to dispatch our service patrol to motorists and this is a great tool to have them check on vehicles if we don't have a camera in the area. It used to be there but has recently disappeared. (Waze told to put it as a suggestion)

Cha Cha Slide Themed Voice
Upon selecting the "Cha Cha Navigator" voice, users are greeted with: "Welcome to the Cha Cha Navigator! Let's slide through traffic together."
Instead of traditional directions, instructions are given in the style of the song:"Slide to the left" for a left turn."Slide to the right" for a right turn.Everybody clap your hands" when arriving at the destination.
Playful warnings for speed cameras or police:"Speed camera ahead, cha cha real smooth now!"Customization:Users could also customize the intensity of the Cha Cha Slide references, choosing from "Mild Slide," "Moderate Slide," or "Full Slide" to suit their preference.I believe this playful and…

Add option to add sound decibel readers
NYC specifically in the 5 boroughs of new york as well as a couple of other states started a program for sound decibel readers to be installed through out the city in other words noise cameras for cars and motorcycles. NYC has always been a loud place so this is un necessary. It is also not right towards cars that come from the factory stock such as scat pack chargers, hellcats, mustangs, harley davidson motorcycles, sports bikes, As well as many super cars. The 1st noise violation is a insane price of approximately $800 the 2nd is approximately $1600…

Past Reports of Mobile Speed Cameras Alert
With the recent addition of giving an alert to the user when a certain area has a "History of Accidents". Something similar should be done with mobile speed cameras where an alert comes up stating that the certain area that the user has entered has had previous reports of mobile speed cameras vans. I dont just mean being able to report Mobile Speed Cameras, as that already exists. I'm talking about an alert popping up as there has been numerous reports, can be from the day before to a month before.

Request for Full BMW iDrive 7 Integration (Cluster + HUD Support via CarPlay & Android Auto)
Hello Waze Team,
I’m writing as a dedicated Waze user and BMW owner who strongly believes that Waze deserves full integration into the driver’s cockpit — not just the center screen.
I currently use Waze on a BMW G20 330i xDrive (2021, iDrive 7) with the latest versions of iOS + CarPlay and Android + Android Auto (tested on both platforms). At this time, navigation only appears on the main display, while the instrument cluster and head-up display (HUD) remain inactive — which limits driver comfort, focus, and overall safety.
I would like to formally request that Waze enable support…

multiple reoccuring beep option when speed limit threshold is exceeded.
Being able to set a reoccuring beep (instead of just one beep) when the speed threshhold is exceed is very necessary. This way speed cameras can be avoided and one is reminded what the speed limit is. Also, it is necessary to be able to add temporary speed limits into the trip line. These may or may not be permanent, but important just the same due to temporary speed cameras.

A average speed but not for the trip, from the moment the gps system says im entering a average speed limit motorway. (i already have an average speed for the trip on my car dash). So in order for me to know what my average speed is while driving in average speed limit way it had to start from the moment i cross the camera (GPS started and end at the exit point)

Alert for run-down animals
English: We members of a robotics team created a new Waze alert. Imagine how much will be feasible alert when someone saw or trampled an animal? Usually the people don’t know what do when they trample an animal, if the Waze has this option the rescue of these animals will be easier of be accomplished and the animals will not die for staying for a long time waiting to they be ransomed.
Will have an animal run-off alert (just as they already exist the camera alerts, per example) when the user to click on this alert he will notify if…24 votesHey,

travel buddy for lonely drivers
Sometimes when driving alone you get bored. Why not add a buddy voice? It's more than just a voice:
1. It can have different personas
2. it continues to give road instructions, but it also plays road games with the driver: I Spy, Counting Cars, etc. It can use the camera to see things and the voice command to communicate. t tells jokes, sings along to songs, etc.It's like a navigator who's your bestie.

Connecting Waze with chat GPT 40 allowing the phone camera system to operate as a dash cam at the same time would provide the ultimate trave
If you could connect chat GPT 400 with Waze you would have the ultimate travel assistant allowing for hands-free driving assistant I could simply ask Waze to find me the next Kentucky Fried Chicken on my current route with my voice and it would automatically pop up on the screen or eat even if I saw something on the road I was driving past I could ask it what is that. For instance I could say what is the model of that red car that just went past us

worrisome design trends lately
I'm noticing some worrisome design trends lately in Waze, please don't ruin an app that was almost perfect as it was!
Examples:
1) forcing Google Assitant down our throats, when the voice recognition Waze used before was flawless;
2) those arrows on top (lane guidance) telling which lane to use are completely unnecessary and redundant and take up screen real estate;
3) the new speed camera warning in white down below is ugly af, contrasts with my dark color scheme, and again, takes up valuable screen real estate unnecessarily and reduces the part of the map we see, it was…2 votes -
Screen space landscape
The landscape view of the map has too many things on screen. The black navigation pane covers the speed limit and the speed camera alert also covers most of the screen. I am using larger font sizing as my eyes aren't great and the scaling makes this situation even worse.
Can the screen space be arranged so items don't cover each other in landscape.
Maybe a new set of icons/thin banner on the "side" instead of going along the whole "bottom" of the screen when in landscape.
Also Samsung phone has polarised screen to help viewing in sunlight but with…
