When I arrive at a navigation destination, show the address
Frequently when I instruct Waze to navigate to an address, I don't readily know the address but have looked it up in an addressbook or email. When the destination is reached, Waze shows a checkered flag on the street, but it would be very handy to have the address displayed so I can identify which particular dwelling I'm going to

Do I need a map
Do I need a map
A lot of my driving I know the route, I travel it every day and for there is no reason to change
What I need the the speed (Big Display)- speed alerts (When over the limit) - warnings - hazards, police and radar verbally called and heavy/standstill traffic when approaching recorded warnings within the last 30 minutes.
This would save on the map downloads and for me the use of mobile data, even though I have found this to be very small.
The maps are good for places I do not know, but for…

Action icons on left in CarPlay (US) so driver doesn’t need to reach across
Put the action icons on the left (in countries where cars are on right of road) when displaying in CarPlay so the driver does not need to reach across to use them. Notifications should appear on right instead of left.

Do not cancel driver reports for mis-taps
Suggestion: Do not dump Wazers completely out of the reporting process because of a mis-tap or error.
Problem solved: Prevents Wazers from having their attempts to help totally aborted due to mistakes, which is discouraging, frustrating, annoying, demoralizing, and may discourage Wazers from submitting future reports.
Discussion:
When a user opens the report feature on a mobile device, they are presented with a collection of icons to choose from. If, because they are driving and trying to pay attention to the road, they happen to miss the target and accidentally tap the space between icons, the report display cancels out.…

Make speed limit larger on apple carplay
I have read the responses to this issue. It seems to be a bot responding as:
Thank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already displays a speedometer, including both your driving speed and the speed limit for the road you’re currently on.
That is NOT the issue. Just remove the speedometer and make the speed limit LARGER. Like it appears on Google Maps, which owns Waze.

Indications regarding the police
I am very pleased about the alerts of the app, however there is one alert I would recommend to eliminate: proximity of police. It may be that with this alert we are providing very valuable information to criminals that will be very happy to avoid facing police officers, even avoiding police controls displayed to stop such criminals. In the same way these alerts provide a heads-up to drivers that may be driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, under excessive speed or with non appropriate vehicles. I do not endorse providing these alerts because of the mentioned…

Waze's orange alert bubble causes burn in damage really fast in amoled displays.
Waze's orange alert bubble causes burn in damage really fast in amoled display. When in dark mode, I recommend to change to a color with a more 'blackier' accent to minimize the problem.
My old galaxy s9 got permanent damage in a couple months and I don't even drive more than twice a week. I'm afraid my new phone is gonna be damaged too.2 votes -
Add a NEW 'Police Notice' flag for the "MIDDLE" of the road!
On Waze, when flagging a Police, there's currently a 'POLICE' flag, for the current road side you're on; 'OTHER SIDE' flag, when the Police is on the other side of the road; but NO 'MIDDLE' (of the road) flag!
There are many instances where Police park (or hide) on the middle of a two-way route or major roadway.
Currently, selecting either of the two available options leaves the other side "unflagged" until a driver from the other side flags the same Police.Creating a "MIDDLE (of the road)" flag, will not only place a Police flag on the (middle) of…

Auto zoom:Please bring it! I hate it so much, im no longer leaving the display on... which means I’m not getting ads
Now that you remove the option to disable the auto zoom I am now not even looking at the map anymore which means I’m not getting your ads that people are paying for. It is super distracting and it makes me dizzy and I get confused on where I am. Please, bring back the feature you want to add that allowed us to disable the auto zoom.

Allow to rename "Home/Work" labels or at least give option to hide the "Home/Work" icons displayed on the maps
Allowing to rename the Home/Work labels or give the option to not show the Home/Work icons on the maps would be a really useful option to help wazers keep their personal information private. For example I often have work collegues and clients in my car and whenever I drive near my home it's clearly labeled on the map exactly where I live. I do not want everyone at work and clients knowing my home address.. Whenever I have to drive with collegues/clients in my car, I switch to using the iOS Maps app so no one will see my address,…

Recalculate button and earlier "heavy traffic reported head" warning
I use Waze regularly and quite often 2 things come to mind.
1. Why isn't there a "recalculate" botton available so that I can force Waze to recalculate my optimal road whenever I want to?
For example:
On my way to work every morning (35 km/22 miles away), there is a section of the highway where the road splits in two, and depending on traffic, sometimes going to the right is faster, while other times is faster on the left. Many times Waze would suggest one of the options when I leave home and when I am about to reach…5 votes -
Disable/option iPhone touch-rotating map
When navigating with my iPhone I usually want to zoom in and out using the pinch movement as most apps use, but half the time trigger the touch to rotate map feature, which I never really need to use.
My suggestion: Disable this (the map will still rotate when you are heading in a certain direction, which is all anyone should need it to do) or at least have an option to turn it off.

To stop WAZE from automatically shutting down
Could it be possible to keep WAZE active, until the user closes the app down. Ok here is what WAZE has done for years. You activate waze, put in your route and go. You then minimize Waze. Waze happily stays active if you are on the move. BUT become stuck in traffic, Waze will just shutdown. Could Waze be designed to not shutdown the app if minimised, when you are stuck in traffic. It is so annoying. You won't realise Waze is shutdown unless you look at your phone screen and fire Waze back up again, which well then say…
