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.

Mazda HUD - Active Driving Display
Feature request: Waze navigation directions on Mazda Active Driving Display via Apple CarPlay
I own a 2025 Mazda CX-5 Signature equipped with Mazda’s Active Driving Display (HUD). When using Waze through Apple CarPlay, navigation directions are displayed on the main infotainment screen but are not shown on the vehicle’s HUD.
Apple Maps and Google Maps are able to provide navigation information to compatible vehicle displays through CarPlay. I would like to request that Waze implement support for sending turn-by-turn navigation metadata to compatible HUDs and instrument clusters through Apple CarPlay.
At the moment, I am using Google Maps instead of Waze because I would like to have navigation directions available on the Active Driving Display. However, I would prefer to use Waze as my primary navigation app due to its excellent real-time traffic information and community-based incident reporting.
This feature would significantly improve safety and usability, as drivers could follow navigation instructions without taking their eyes away from the road.

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.

Better EV Support
In France, electric cars are now sold more than traditional gas cars.
EV drivers use Waze every day.
However, Waze is still designed mostly for gas vehicles.
Here are simple features to make Waze the best app for EV drivers.Better Route Alternatives for EVs
Current alternative routes show equal travel times. But they ignore distance and battery consumption.
One route might use much more energy.
Waze should calculate and show energy consumption for each alternative route.Vehicle Profile & Smart Charging Stops
Users should be able to select their vehicle brand and exact model.
Waze will know the real energy consumption of the car.
Users should also select their charging subscriptions (like Ionity or Tesla in France).
Waze should then automatically suggest the best charging stops on the route.Initial Battery Level Input
Users need to enter their starting battery level (SOC %).
Waze will adjust charging stops according to the current charge.Destination Charging
Drivers need to plan arrival charging easily.
Waze should show available charging stations near the final destination before starting the trip.Real-Time Battery Impact Factors
Elevation and weather affect EV range a lot.
Waze should adjust estimated consumption based on route elevation changes.Community Charging Reports
EV drivers need real-time station info.
Waze should allow users to report broken, occupied, or blocked chargers easily.

Ajout de nouveaux types de véhicules et prise en compte des caractéristiques du véhicule
Je souhaiterais proposer une amélioration de la gestion des véhicules dans Waze.
Il serait intéressant de permettre aux utilisateurs de choisir davantage de types de véhicules, par exemple :
- Camion ;
- Utilitaire ;
- Camping-car ;
- Véhicule avec remorque.
De plus, il serait utile de pouvoir renseigner les caractéristiques du véhicule directement dans l'application :
- Poids total ;
- Hauteur ;
- Largeur ;
- Longueur.
Ces informations pourraient ensuite être utilisées par Waze afin d'adapter les itinéraires et éviter automatiquement les restrictions de circulation, notamment :
- Les passages sous ponts limités en hauteur ;
- Les routes limitées en largeur ;
- Les ponts et routes comportant une limitation de poids ;
- Les interdictions de circulation pour certaines catégories de véhicules.
Enfin, Waze pourrait également adapter les limitations de vitesse affichées selon le type de véhicule renseigné.
Exemple : sur la N20 en direction de Longjumeau, certaines portions sont limitées à 90 km/h pour les voitures mais à 70 km/h pour les véhicules de plus de 3,5 tonnes. Waze pourrait alors afficher la limitation adaptée au véhicule utilisé.
Cette fonctionnalité améliorerait la sécurité et rendrait Waze plus adapté aux conducteurs de camions, camping-cars, utilitaires et autres véhicules spécifiques.

Feature Request: Secondary Display / HUD Support for Mazda (CarPlay & Android Auto)
Hi Waze Team,
I am a frequent Waze user driving a Mazda CX-30. I love the community alerts and real-time hazard reporting, but I am disappointed that Waze does not support turn-by-turn directions on my vehicle's secondary displays—specifically the Active Driving Display (Heads-Up Display) and the digital instrument cluster.
Both Google Maps and Apple Maps fully support this feature on Mazda's infotainment system via CarPlay and Android Auto. Because Waze lacks this integration, I am often forced to switch to competitor apps just so I can keep my eyes safely on the road while navigating.
Please consider implementing dual-screen / HUD API support in a future software update so Mazda owners can get the full Waze experience right on their windshields.
Thank you!

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.
