Custom Map Themes/Skins (Game HUD Style like GTA, Need For Speed, Cyberpunk)
While Waze already offers custom voices and moods, the navigation map layout itself remains largely the same. It would be awesome to introduce customizable map themes/skins inspired by classic gaming HUDs (e.g., retro arcade minimaps, NFS-style night/neon aesthetics, or GTA-inspired map palettes).
Why this would be great for Waze:
Deeper Immersion: Custom UI themes go beyond just changing the car icon or voice, offering a fresh visual experience.
Great for Marketing Partnerships: Waze could collaborate with game publishers for temporary promotional themes during major game launches.
Fully Optional & Safe: These themes could function similarly to Dark Mode (a color and icon palette swap), maintaining high contrast, route clarity, and road safety without cluttering the screen.
Even generic style options (like "Synthwave/Neon", "Retro Arcade", or "Minimalist Dark") would make daily commuting much more fun and unique.

Toll monitoring columns in Germany
In Waze, the blue toll monitoring columns commonly used in Germany are regularly and incorrectly marked as speed cameras. It might be a good idea to introduce a separate marker for toll monitoring columns so that users are not mistakenly warned about a speed camera.

Cluster light mode
Please allow the cluster view to be in light mode in the daytime.
It is really hard to see in the bright sun with all black/dark elements since the cluster is always in dark mode. Unlike the main display, which changes by time of day or user selection.
I think they should match or at least be a user setting in the app along with the main display.

AI Pothole & Speed Bump Detection via Phone Sensors (Waze for Cities)
I submitted this exact concept to Google a long time ago, but no action was taken. I am bringing it here today because Waze is the perfect platform to finally make this happen.Waze should implement passive, background telemetry analysis using the smartphone's built-in accelerometer and gyroscope. An AI algorithm can easily recognize the distinct physical patterns of hitting a pothole or crossing a speed bump. To eliminate false positives, the system would require data aggregation: if multiple users register the same vertical impact at the exact same GPS coordinates, the map should automatically generate a hazard annotation.Once these hazards are mapped, Waze should add a toggle in the navigation settings to "Avoid roads with bad quality or speed bumps", functioning exactly like the current "Avoid tolls" option.Furthermore, this data should be automatically shared with local municipalities through the Waze for Cities program. Instead of waiting for citizens to manually report issues, city councils could automatically receive a live heat-map of verified potholes. This would allow cities to locate and repair broken roads much faster, saving money for both governments and drivers.

Add a detailed preview for roundabouts
I saw this feature in some map app online, so when heading to a roundabout, just like what waze does, a popup will show on the top of the screen and showing a simple symbol to tell which exit we should take. What about having a detailed preview showing a birdseye view on the roundabout and showing the exact route i.e. what lane and exit show take instead of simple symbol and exit name?

Options for economical routes / shorter distance routes
It would be good if waze did something similar to google maps where it shows you the fastest routes but also shows you a more economical route that may take a bit longer but saves distance or saves fuel a bit.

Marco quilométrico em Rodovias (Kilometer Marker on Highways)
Through WME, editors manually added a pin at the corresponding kilometer marker on a highway. Clicking on this pin would provide the following fields to fill in: Highway, Kilometer, Direction. Up to two highways could be added to each pin, with the "Direction" field being optional and the other two mandatory.
In the application, when driving on the highway, in addition to the highway emblem (which is already visible), the respective kilometer marker of the main highway added to the WME kilometer marker would also appear next to it. Thus, when driving on highways, we would visually know which kilometer marker we were at. These kilometers would also be searchable using the application's search field as a destination option (Example: BR 116 - Km 555).

Através do WME os editores adicionavam manualmente um pino no Km correspondente em uma rodovia. Ao clicar nesse pino, teríamos os seguintes campos de preenchimento: Rodovia, Quilômetro, Direção. Poderíamos adicionar até duas rodovias em cada pino, sendo o campo "Direção" com preenchimento opcional e os outros dois obrigatórios.
No aplicativo ao trafegar pela rodovia, além de aparecer o escudo rodoviário (Que já é visível atualmente), ao lado dele também apareceria o respectivo quilômetro da rodovia principal adicionado ao pino do km do WME. Assim ao trafegar em rodovias saberíamos visualmente qual quilômetro estamos. Esses quilômetros também seriam pesquisáveis pelo campo de busca do aplicativo como opção de destino (Exemplo: BR 116 - Km 555).Through WME, editors manually added a pin at the corresponding kilometer marker on a highway.

Get Joe Arden to do the voice narration for navigation.
I am a member of Joe's social media and he said in front of a couple hundred people on a live that he would love to do the live narration for your platform he has a huge following and is incredible and he would probably bring all the users to Waze to hear him tell them what to do on the road.

For police cameras alerts
This is very important, since it occured many times. You have to give option in police camera alerts, to choose at which distance to announce alert. Sometimes it announces very near to the police camera. Give options for example 2km, 1km, 500m etc. so drivers can choose. Also give another option to choose, in same area if settings, that will alert or not, on each specified distance (2km, 1km, 500m etc). Give another option to give continuous alert for speed cameras (instead of alerting on each of above distances), with intervals every 1second, 2 seconds......5 seconds. Also give option to choose any sound for the alert. To choose a volume for the alert from Settings, so in case of low volume, alert will not be lost.
In this way users can choose:
1) The distance that notification will start for police cameras (2km, 1km, 500m etc.)
2) Whether they want to be notified or not, in every of the above distance (2km, 1km, 500m, etc)
3) Whether they want to be notified or not, in specified intervals (1second, 2 seconds) until they reach the camera.
4) To choose any sound alert for camera.
5) To choose a volume for the alert from Settings, so in case of low volume, alert will not be lost. In this case the new feature, must override system volume.This is very important, since it occured many times.

I would like to see waze showing offline music player apps such as poweramp while driving
Waze is not showing offline music playing. To be honest all the other apps are online based, which is pretty bad while driving as it depends on network availability.

In-app segment appearance for Unpaved / Pedestrian segments
As of now, different segment types almost all look identical in Waze. Offroad / unmaintained already have has its own look, so it would seem logical to get a visual differentiation for pedestrian segments and unpaved roads.
- Unpaved roads could get a "speckled" or '"hashed" look (https://waze.uservoice.com/forums/59223-waze-suggestion-box/suggestions/46149703-show-unpaved-roads-differently-in-app).
- Pedestrian segments could look just like on the live map.
