Android Auto Version
Android Autos version of Waze is too limited.
*Pave option should be added
*Comments on reports allowed, even if only by voice input (very helpful for map editors on both ends)
*Allow reading of map comments, even if not replying. Many times this includes important information like the lane of an issue.
*Allow for location search, using voice if needed of locations while moving. Even my car from 2014 can do that much.If none of those, add a toggle button that allows app use to be switched between phone and car screen, which will solve everything, to include being…

Option to relax on route correction messages.
If I've missed a turn, I tend to know it. If I'm unable to get to the lane required to turn around, the last thing I need is for the system to constantly spam me to make U-Turns, especially in locations where they're not permitted. Instead of suggesting U-Turns at every driveway, try to create a loop to turn around. U-Turns are inherently dangerous and spamming messages every few seconds only causes me aggravation as a driver.

Route Suggestions are not the BEST! Have thubms UP, when WAZE does a good job.
On some days, Waze suggests some really amazing detours and it saves a lot of GAS, as the vehicle is constantly moving. Also, the route saves you time. At other times, WAZE take you straight into Traffic or to a route, with building up traffic, and then asks "Are you stuck in Traffic". Really !!!. You told me to go there.
There should be a way to give WAZE thumbs up, for saving time. and Thumbs DOWN for suggesting a route with more traffic with no options for detour.
Saying there is traffic ahead , and taking you there, with…

voice reporting assistant
I get it. I can report issues on the road with my voice. When I tap the button, I just want to report. I don't need "Hi, I am your virtual assistant...." every time I go and tap to report. I know how it works. I miss things like broken lights or lane closures among any other issues because the app tells me what it can do and when I can talk, the app takes it's time to "report" if it ever does.
I'd like to turn off that voice when initiating.

Make the new arrow position work for those of us using the map facing North
Waze changed the position of the car to allow for more visibility for people who have the map facing their direction of travel, however they completely forgot about all of us who prefer the map facing North.
Now we are basically using 15% of the screen for navigation, the rest is dead space.
Also - whenever we are facing South we can’t see upcoming turns, forcing us to do potentially dangerous last minute lane changes.
This is a major safety concern and Waze needs to address it immediately!1 vote -
Waze 3000
The Waze application requires immediate updates to resolve navigation and interface failures. The current design uses cartoonish language. This style reduces the professional utility of your tool. You must adopt a more mature visual language.
Voice search fails to provide effective results. This malfunction creates safety risks for drivers.
The map view locks during Android Auto use. You should allow users to move or adjust the map on the vehicle screen without touchscreen feature.
The interface largelly displays recent routes immediately. This clutter slows down the navigation process and hinders the user's privacy.
Preferred gas stations and fuel grades disappear…

Horse Ahead
An option for horse riders to mark themselves as road users for a period of time which alerts cars that there is a ‘horse and rider ahead’. It would prevent so many accidents on country lanes

making sure Waze know what driver you are
the past few months I've been getting tickets because i was driving in a bus lane. i never knew how i would end up in this situation. until i called up to pay a 500NIS ticket and the lady suggested i check my Waze setting to see what my car is registered under. unfortunately when i check it was registered as a taxi. i now know why i got all those tickets. i don't even remember it asking if i was a taxi, i have never been a taxi driver. all im asking from Waze ks to make a…

Option for avoiding hov
Why is Waze being so stubborn with not creating an option for AVOIDING HOV lanes, like the simple checkbox for avoiding ferries??? A solo driver CANNOT be in a HOV lane by themselves during rush hour .. why is this so difficult to understand??? But instead I have to see directions to either get into the hov when I can't, or out of it when I was never in it in the first place.... C'mon now.... Stop focusing on a 100 voice options (that you can't easily sample in advance of actually driving btw) provide simple common sense features....

CarPlay lagging issue suggestion
Humble tips for the Waze developers:
- if possible measure response times from the system. If they go out of bounds or no response, perhaps:
- reduce the amount (reduce framerate) of mapdisplay data
- reduce the number of calls per second
- or stop sending mapdisplay data to CarPlay.
- stop showing the map altogether and only show lane/direction arrows with exit names/numbers in these cars
- Perhaps there is a function in CarPlay to clear the buffer and resynchronize the display to current position;
- suggest that users should not use CarPlay in these cars for navigation.…

The new feature showing how many lanes are exiting needs improvement.
The new feature showing how many lanes are exiting needs improvement. It should be incorporated into the first icon which indicates a turn. If the exit has 2 lanes, there should be two turn icons next to each other, three lanes exiting, three icons next to each other, etc.. The most recent feature only turns up 0.6 miles ahead of the exit which is sometimes not enough time on a fast moving highway to change lanes and it uses up too much space at the top of the screen.

Problem: many road bifurcations, specially in obtuse angle + multiple ramifications.
Hello waze team here is abe writing a suggestion.
Problem: many road bifurcations, or multiple ramification roads specially in obtuse angle + between primary and secondary non clear small roads bring about navigation mistakes.solution: upon getting near the critical point of deviation Please make an automatic zoom ( 80M radius) to the relevant area and also insert blinking / intermittent dots to all existing ramification points ( green Dot for the correct lane to follow and black dots for all non relevant existing deviation roads. this way the driver visualize the correct direction in the roads matrix.

Street Name Display Optional
Hello,
I’d like to suggest an improvement to the navigation interface in Waze. Currently, street names are displayed systematically, which can clutter the screen and reduce the clarity of essential guidance elements (arrows, distances, lane instructions).
I propose adding an option to:
- disable the automatic display of street names during navigation;
- or limit their appearance to the immediate vicinity of the destination, where this information is truly useful for identifying the final location.This would allow for a cleaner, more readable interface and reduce distractions, especially in dense urban environments.
Thank you for your continued work and attention…

Show "merge" when road name changes
Some paths go on roads crossing city boundaries and the road changes or the road only goes in one direction but the road name changes, it would be nice to see an arrow with name change.
Some paths go through a ramp or lane merge that do not show because it is the only path possible, but the name of the road changes, or the direction (turning right since it is the only possible route) which is misleading when you know you have to turn right but Waze says the next turn is left.

Link address from other apps
Most functional Waze yet! Navigation seems spot on and not obtrusive like Google's offering. Main thing is Waze is really accurate! Google Maps loses its way and gets me lost! Like the fresh look of Waze. Loads really fast on Note 4 Marshmallow. Love the send ETA so people I choose can monitor my drive in real time!
Few wish list items and believe me, not trying to turn Waze into Google Maps! So just the essentials..
Could use lane assist.
Need to get links from Yelp, Google Now, and other websites to share the actual destination not unknown street…

Location Correction/Change/Adjustment
It would be very nice to have the ability to correct or change the road we are driving on. If at any point we deviate from a GPS route (exit the highway early or late, enter an HOV lane, get or stay on an express road), we need to have the ability to adjust our location on the map so the route can update.
How to achieve this:
I'm thinking we could select our vehicle on the map (currently, this pulls up our "current location"), then - select an option to "adjust route" (call it whatever you want), this…2 votes -
Less talking for directions
No app has it but I would like less talking during navigation and an option to leave the screen off when announcing directions. I ride a motorcycle a lot and any way to save phone power the better but it would be nice if maybe 10 feet before turn or exit it announced it once without turning on screen and draining battery and constantly repeating the same direction in annoying detail. Just once take exit whatever west or East or right or left once. Not an ongoing detail if how to turn out gettin the right lane.

Map & Command more like Google!
PLEASE READ & VOTE!!
Instead of “Turn right / left in .1 miles” (esp. for in-town and city driving) change to Google-like commands (e.g.- “At the next light / stop sign, turn right/left) and SHOW Device - light or sign at corners - on the map, as such - sign or light).
Doing so also helps to know HOW MANY lights or signs remain between you and your next turn.
It’s impractical to watch your mileage in these conditions. It’s more “natural” - as when someone is telling you directions in the passenger seat - to look for the next…3 votes -
Enhancements to reports; increase quality of shared/rec'd info
Reporting a hazard on shoulder: ability to indicate right or left shoulder. As drivers, we frequently assume it will be on the right shoulder which isn't always the case.
Reporting an object/hazard on road: ability to indicate the specific lane on which the hazard exists. Sometimes those hazards could cause a major accident. I have tried to add that info as an additional comment when possible, frequently difficult to do.
Reporting police: option to report police in the median. That way, each direction of traffic will receive an alert at same time.
