Voice alerts only for red light cameras and railroad crossings
Voice alerts only for railroad crossings and red light cameras. It is very annoying to have to hit the close button in order to see the map every time you hit a railroad crossing or red light camera. Especially now that red light cameras are popping up constantly. Having to hit the button is distracting.

Partner with Chrysler so Waze can be one of the apps displayed on the screen of the new Uconnect systems in 2013 Rams etc
The new Uconnect system supports some mobile apps and I think Waze would be awesome to use on it instead of just merely hearing Waze through the speakers.

Feature Request "Adding Favorites via My Dashboard"
I think it would be great if we could add/edit/delete our Favourites via the "My Dashboard" instead of just on the phone. The commercial Product I have on my phone lets me manage all this via their Website.

Audio as "incoming call"
I often use Waze in the car when NOT listening to the Bluetooth audio stream. Waze via the phone speaker is inaudible. Can Waze simulate an incoming call to the handsfree kit so it will mute audio and play the instructions over the speakers in the car rather than the speaker in my phone?

Thumbs up and down
When you get a notification of a problem/thing on the road, instead of confirming by having to touch your phone, the camera starts up and you can show your real thumbs up (or up and down). That way, you can easily confirm without touching your screen. That way it’s safer and easier, wich can make the wazecommunity even bigger!

If I want to change to avoiding tolls I have to disconnect from android auto in order to change that feature on my phone

The use of HUB mobile navigator bracket is great for safe driving.
To the Waze creator/s,
It would be nice to have such a great navigator like Waze to install an invert screen of the map and data so we can use with HUB mobile navigation bracket. There are others who offer the invert screen to reflect the Hub but they are unreliable. Waze is the best and we users should have those features so we don't have to use any other navigator. Now I'm force to use Navmii but I really want Waze to guide me. :(
Is there any chance this will become a reality with Waze?Your faithful user,…

Six essential functions when using apps on mobile phones
Recommendations for the Waze app:
1. Add setting item: Speed adjustment is a slider from 0 to 15km/h to compensate for slower speed compared to reality due to gps latency
2. Change the current speeding warning threshold setting menu to a slider with values from -20km/h to 20km/h so that users can choose the appropriate warning threshold for each need.
3. Add voice speed warning sound option
4. Add option to Repeat overspeed warning: (Off, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 60 seconds…)
5. Increase the size of the speed indicator and speed limit to match mobifone navigation…6 votes -
Turn by turn broken in Landscape mode on phone as second screen
When using my phone as a second screen in landscape orientation it no longer shows the turn by turn on the full phone screen. Instead, the phone screen looks like Waze is not connected to the car and shows the map as well. This is not useful since the map is already on the main car screen and now the turn by turn is not readable

Restore and add more alert choices and sub-choices - make the last more visible
Hello, Waze. For unknown reason to us, your users, you are lowering the variety of the alerts that could be reported and/or their sub-options. The most striking example is the police reporting option where it is not possible to report a police from the other side. Please restore it. Please, add the following reports:
1) stationary speed camera
1.1) please add a detail about the direction the already added stationary speed cameras are pointing at - towards the incoming cars or at the same direction of the road lane group. Also add this as an option for the ones…2 votes -
Please update the WP8 app for better battery usage and overheating
The new WP8 is very harsh on the battery and overheats the phone like nothing I have ever seen before. Others have complained of this same issue in the reviews section of the Windows Phone Store. Even if the phone is plugged into the car's power source, the Waze app uses the battery faster than it is being charged and the charging just can't keep up. Makes the app impossible to use without draining battery and overheating phone.
10 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may already know, Waze is no longer supported on any Windows Phone device and is not planned to be supported in the near future.

Police Cameras/Speed Van Cameras - 500 Meter Warning not sufficent
Police Cameras/Speed Van Cameras - we need more than a 500 Meter warning for these. It’s too late to react if you are on a motorway, in particular.

App2sd support for waze android-version
Android-based mobile phones have started to get 2.2 (FroYo), which brought support for moving applications to SD card. Since Waze is quite a big application (~6 mb for me), it would be really good to be able to move it to the memory card.

Provide an audio option to warn of approaching speed cameras when below the speed limit.
There are motorways in the UK with variable speed limits. Speed limit can change from the default of 70 mph down to 40 mph
It would therefore be very useful have an audio warning when approaching a speed camera. This option is available on Tomtom

Integrate Amazon Music app
Spotify is nicely integrated into the waze phone app. It would be nice to also add Amazon Music app for those that don't use Spotify.
180 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may already know, Waze is now integrated with several audio apps including Spotify, Deezer, TuneIn, iHeart Radio, Pandora and more. Just go to Settings > Audio Player and pick your favorite app.

Forced Landscape mode
For use with a HUD display that displays as the orientation is on the phone. If it's in the portrait mode it will only fill portrait in the middle of the screen. If you turn the phone on it's side it fills the screen in the landscape mode but. If you have a forced landscape mode, you can orientate the phone in portrait but Waze would be in Landscape and display as landscape on the HUD screen. This would be great. Kind of like keeping it in the night mode instead of auto. Night mode works better with HUD…

BUG: Apple route direction "stack" on phone not updating during drive
When using Apple Carplay, the latest version is NOT updating the text direction "stack" seen on the phone while driving. Previous versions would remove the turns after they've been completed. The only way to get the stack updated is to toggle to road reports then toggle back to the directions on the phone.

Make Waze continue running in background untill it is turned off
I use my phone for more than just Waze when I'm driving. Waze does not consistently run in the background when I switch to control another app (even when I'm driving on the highway at 65 mph). I'd really like to see an option in settings to keep Waze active until I manually exit. Alternatively, how about an option that keeps Waze active as long as my phone is in the car dock?

Please add all New York City School Zone Camera Units to the WAZE maps for the purpose of reducing violations there are over 2,000 in numbr
Please take note by this suggestion that I have incurred many School Zone Speeding tickets since the DeBlasio administration installed over 2,000 camera units throughout New York City, if WAZE provided functionality by visual icon, sound alert or any means informing drivers of the many School Zone Speed Cameras requesting drivers to reduce their speed to 25 mph then this would give rise to a great service and would remediate many violations as well perhaps save incidents of pedestrian accidents. Thank you WAZE.
