Update Waze so it works with AppleCarPlay. CarPlay allows phone apps to be displayed safely on the car's internal screen, so why not Waze?

Toll Price Update on Driving
When navigating with toll roads, can we update the toll price display after exiting the toll section? For example, if the route contains two separate toll section, after exiting the first one, the toll display should show the remaining price, and after exiting the second and last toll section, remove the price display?
Currently the toll price display never get updated throughout the drive so it will say the full price even when we are near destination (unless there is a re-routing in the background)2 votes -
Speed limit
Please allow us to remove the digital speedometer, and instead show a much larger speed limit for the road! The current speed limit sign is very small on some displays, and since every car already has a speedometer, I would like the option to remove it from the app and just show a large icon for speed limit only

display current location data to report break down location for tow truck
Myself and a few freinds over the years have been stuck and had to give a location to get help to a third party. None of us could find a "I'm here" feature to tell say a tow truck how to find us. Such as "Mile marker 123 Rt 78 Clinton NJ". It's frustrating to have trouble telling help where you are especially at night. Something like an information button to give the info.

GPS coordinates
It would be great to have a GPS dashboard panel, displaying in the same screen:
- Longitude, Latitude & Elevation
- Velocity
- GPS status (fixed, not fixed, ...)
- Signal's strength
- CompassSomething like this picture: http://i49.tinypic.com/15chxqc.png

Display traffic jam time delay on the map.
When browsing the map, Waze currently only shows the average movement speed of traffic jams. Perhaps show this as average time spent in the traffic jam, or estimated time to pass through the traffic jam, instead?

Please make Speedometer menu items separate:
Show speedometer on map-> can be switched off and on separately
incl. submenus
(Everybody already has a speedometer in the car, so this display is actually unnecessary
additionally it is currently also more dominant than the speed limit
and even hides it)Show allowed speed on map-> can be switched off and on separately
incl. submenus
(This display is the most important for the driver, it shows us how fast we are allowed to drive and therefore it must be big and readable and must not be covered by the speedometer display or be…

Town displayed
What is the reason why the town we are passing through is never, under any circumstances, displayed? There are often situations where we pass through small towns and we need to know the name of the town either to tell someone where we are, or to remember an objective located in that town, etc. or simply you are in a foreign country and you don't know where you are And you have to zoom out until the town name appears, which means taking your focus off driving and operating the Wase. There are many reasons why the name of…

Option to not display the 'route summary' screen when starting navigation.
Having selected a destination on the map and choosing to navigate to that destination, a 'summary' screen is currently being displayed before navigation commences, requiring the user to accept the route prior to navigation starting.
An option to bypass this screen and start navigation immediately after selecting a destination would be a nice addition.1 vote -
Junction/Intersection numbers without active route
I drive on the motorway quite a lot and most of the time I know the way so I won't bother with setting a route.
However it would be great if, without a route being plotted, that Waze would display in the top left "Approaching XX junction"

Display actual GPS speed and not car’s info
When connected to CarPlay the speed on the supposedly gps speed in Waze always shows a 1km/h difference compared to that on the speedometer (at least in my case)
When NOT connected to CarPlay the difference is larger. At 90 km/h on the speedometer the speed in Waze is 85 km/h and at 140 the speed on Waze is 130. (Actual GPS speed)
When connecting to CarPlay a message says that the phone will use selected data from the car and this includes the car’s speed. However, this value is not accurate.
My request is for me to be able…1 vote -
Money and points.
While using Waze i would like to see on aplication display ,in the left side just over the speed limit ,how many point on my licence and money i have to pay if i will brake the speed limit.
I think it will be interesting for many people to see the "punishment"for breaking the law.
Thanks.6 votes -
Show international borders on route
It would be very helpful to show international borders. For some reason these are not visible once the route is chosen. Due to uncertain wait times at some borders, which Waze isn't very good at calculating, it would be helpful to at least display them and let drivers make choices based on other information (there are other apps that monitor these wait times, such as Border Watch). Also, had I not already known that Waze was sending me through Albania, I would have been unable to avoid additional charges, hassles, and delays (Albania requires extra documentation from European drivers that…

Disable auto route to suggested destination
Often when I start my day, I'm not heading directly to the office. However, even after I enter a destination, I'll be prompted to navigate to "work". It will switch my destination without my input or any notification. Please turn off auto select for that navigation option. It's frustrating to think that Waze is taking me a traffic free route to find out it's navigating me to the wrong destination.

Map zoom annoying
OK. I love Waze, but certain things can be quite annoying.
I wanted to find an alternate route and had a few problems.
First, when I went to select an alternate route, Waze didn't give me enough info to be able to select the route I wanted. It just gave me the initial roads, but not cities that I normally would use to select a route waypoint.
The map showed cities that I was not very familiar with. (e.g. Washington DC to Allentown, PA did not show York, Lancaster or places I could identify)
And most annoying, I had auto-zoom…

Allow color themes for the night mode
While we can swap between various colors themes in the day mode, this is not available in the night mode. Unfortunately, the colors displayed on my mobile are not offering an easy navigation, as the difference in color between roads and the way to follow is hard to distinguish.

Show directions in vehicle Dashboard
Recently Google Maps had an update so the turn to turn directions and are now shown in Ford Sync 4 vehicle dashboard. Apple Maps also has this feature for years. Can Waze also bring this functionality helping to see in the dash or head up display so we can keep more focused on the road? It would be fantastic if Waze can be on the same level as other navigation apps.

Feature positioning on Map
We should be able to customize the layout of feature access or information displayed on screen. For my phone position it would be helpful to have the Speed Limit information in the bottom right. I also don't use the carpool feature. It would be nice if I could assign that spot to "settings". Or have the Google assistant button there instead. Or be able to move the information display to the top right when in horizontal mode.
Overall allow customization of information display. This will improve safety and enjoyment of the app.
P.s. bring back cookie monster

Allow swipe to close notifications.
When a notification appears on the Waze client, there's an "X" on the top-right corner to close it. The close button also has an auto-timer, which is fine.
However, while driving it is hard to tap the exact location of the "X" and often i tap on another nearby portion of the screen, which only causes the display to change. And waiting for the timer is not always practical (i only need 3-5 seconds to read a notification, not up to 15 seconds!).
So instead (or additionally)... why not have the notifications close by simply swiping them off the screen?…
