"alerts only" mode should include rerouting notifications
Currently, there are 3 sound modes, which is great. "On", "Off" and "Alerts Only". I use "On", when I've never been there before and "Alerts Only" during my daily commute. I love the Alerts Only mode for a daily commute. Problem is, sometimes Waze sees an issue ahead during my commute and only makes a screen notification. I'd really want to be alerted about that.
So I'd like "Alerts Only" to consider a rerouting notification as an alert and not 'normal' navigation instructions.

Android auto integration
Android auto integration is pretty terrible. Search has no voice option. And when I switch to spotify it's just a blank screen when loved to the side widget screen, it really only shows next turn if actively using navigation. There is such a missed opportunity like how Google maps does their integration.

support "car camera" mode
today, a lot of drivers buy a car camera. we can save it by adding this feature to waze.
the phone is already mounted aiming at the front of the car, and we can also recor sounds inside the car.save last 3\5 minutes. ON\OFF from settings, screen button to "save video".
permenantly delete older files not to use a lot of disk space and dont use the best camera option (3 min. of 4K is a lot!). option to save to internal memory\SD card if available. option to "share" the file to gmail, google drive etc.63 votesGreat thinking! We’ll share with the team; they’re always interested in new feature ideas.

Move the Incident Timeline to the Main Navigation Screen + Live Position Indicator
Place the full incident timeline directly on the main navigation screen and add a live vehicle marker showing the user’s exact position on the time-based route bar. This lets drivers instantly understand where they are within the timeline, what hazards are coming next, and how far they are from each report — all without leaving the main map.

Hazard alert confirm/deny
Keep the hazard alert thumbs up or down option on screen just a bit longer (don't start it so early if you want to keep the length of time posted the same). Right now, the option disappears about a tenth of a mile before I can confirm or deny the alert. At least keep it up until we pass the site of the hazard.

Make the speed limit bigger and permanently visible on screen. I don’t like having to make it appear by driving a little faster
Can you make the speed limit stay on permanently. And bigger. It’s too small and takes a number of seconds (eyes off road seconds) to glance down looking for it. When unsure of the speed limit in areas where it changes a lot then the only way to make it appear is to drive faster and look for what point it flashes up. This is not safe. I would love it to just be there all of the time.

Easy speed limit update request
When the speed limit is incorrectly set, a user request should be easy to generate: push the speed dial, UR screen is displayed with the common speed signs of the respective country.
Tapping the sign & send would post a UR with the right information.
Easy for the driver, easy for the editor, good for accurateness of the map!12 votes -

Can Waze be kept on as a floating screen while running other apps?
Every time I open another app Waze just runs in the background. It would be much easier if You could keep the minimized floating screen up so you don’t have to tap that tiny blue button up in the corner, and so you can do other stuff while using the app. This is a feature on Google Maps.2 votes -
Fast Report Buttons
It takes too many interactions to enter reports like Vehicle On Shoulder. Add buttons on the first report screen to immediately send 3 (or some number) of most common reports like Vehicle On Shoulder, Object In Road. Maybe even make it user configurable.
8 votesLong tap on Reports button brings up 3 most common reports.

Add a traffic bar to map
Have a "Traffic Bar" that appear in the routes screen overlayed on the main map.
add a car to the bar that moves along with your journeys completion.
So when you are 85 percent home, the car has moved 85 percent up the bar.Also when the Bar-Car (Maybe we should think of a better name) gets near an event an audible alert gets triggered, like when you near a Cop it could say “Oh cock, its the Rozzers!” Or just “Police reported ahead”) Or when you are near a obstacle on road you could be warned – e.g. “Johnny…

Reminder button for editors
As an editor, when I'm driving, using the app, when I see something that I need to add or fix later in the editor, I have to takes my eyes off the road while I find and press five buttons, type a brief reminder, then press Send.
For users who are also editors, could you add a "Reminder" button to the screen after the orange button (the screen with the Traffic, Hazard, Map Issue, etc buttons), that will simply leave a "Reminder" UR, with the editor's userid filled in.

Virtual cockpit and android auto - improved turn by turn signs and sugestions in VC
When using Virtual Cockpit in VW group cars I can have waze or google maps turn by turn indications displayed in the middle of the virtual cockpit screen, only the next turn. Google maps shows indications correctly for roundabouts, u turns or straight left/right but waze indications in the center screen are all messed up, although the notification on phone and the next turn on the central screen with android auto is displayed corectly

Driving mode
Waze need a "Driving mode" switch within settings. I'm a Waze user, I use Waze from my car radio 7.5" screen and the only difference is more space for map view. By "Driving mode" is bigger buttons, bigger texts on street names and notifications. While driving you should not need to force reading or hitting a button... It's just an idea that I'm sure will improve a lot Waze usability while driving.

Search bar on Waze app when using Android auto
When using Android auto, Waze app on the phone is disabled except for popping up with the search bar to enable phone-typing of addresses. Could you add the search bar on the "Using Waze on Android Auto" screen by default on the phone app to make it quicker to get to the phone keyboard instead of having to first click search on Android auto and then being redirected to the phone to type addresses

To be able to list the address you want to travel from in the main screen.
To be able to specify the address you want to travel from on the main screen as you are often not at the point you need to travel from eg still on a train etc.
1 voteIt’s a bit tricky, but possible. Here’s the flow:
1. Select an address, which would be your starting point
2. On the preview location page tap on ‘More’ button (three dots), tap ‘Select as starting point’
3. Select an address which would be your destination
4. Tap ‘Go’ – Waze would calculate a route from selected start point to the selected destination point. -
Oled mode
Make a interface theam that is all black screen but with roads in road colours on compleatly black backgrond and text in normal colours eg white green blue ect with speedo as standard so as little of the screen is lit up as possible as i find my phone get very hot when running with display on and eats battory i have switch to night mode and found an improvement but i think with a true minimalistic oled mode devices will run much cooler and battory lasts longer but will only help oled devices 👌
