Add a grid on the background instead of the uniform grey colour.
This would increase the "sensation" of perspective and, if the grid is at fixed size (example 100x100 meters) would also help in understanding how much space there's before next turn/crossroad/stop....

Resolve GPRS/EDGE connectivity issue
Wifi works great, but when I am on road or trying to connect via GPRS, Waze rarely connects. On the web and on the Waze forums itself this issues is litterred numerous times, with various people discovering different ways which made it work for them. None of them, unfortunately worked for me. This means that on road, I have no Waze connectivity for updates. Bad. This should be a critical issue to be put on top priority.

Remember Events filter
I would like the client to remember the setting I select for filtering Events. "Around Me", "On Route" and "My Groups" are great filters, but when I return to the map/driving view, I want my Events count at the top to be filtered and when I tap on it/select it, I want my Events report list to still be filtered by the same criteria.

Road trip mode: track progress since activation, share milestones
For longer, multi-stage trips, a more robust kind of logging might be useful. This "road trip" mode would keep track of the distance traveled since activation, and post a message on Twitter, Facebook, etc. when a milestone has been passed (e.g., passing a predetermined amount of miles or crossing a state/provincial/national boundary).

Show route shields in the current road name bubble (bottom of screen) during navigation instead of plain text route numbers
Currently in Waze, the current road name displayed at the bottom of the screen during navigation only shows plain text (e.g. “M1 - Monash Fwy”) without the road shield symbol while route shields already appear in other parts of Waze (map and directions), but not in the current road bubble, creating inconsistency.
This suggestion is to display the route number as a proper shield symbol within the current road name bubble, instead of it being in plain text with a hyphen next to it. This will help reduce the clutter in the current street name and allows more room for more text.
To fix this please display the route shield icon inline with the current road name. For example, instead of "M1 - Monash Fwy", show "🛡️(M1 shield symbol) Monash Fwy" only where a valid shield exists and maintain readability at all zoom levels and screen sizes.

Lane-specific pothole alerts (show which lane the pothole is in)
A feature that allows users to report what lane a pothole (or other hazard) is in so that drivers can avoid hazards, vehicle damage, or bottlenecks in traffic that can happen as new vehicles approach the hazard and attempt to minimize impact.

Semi-Permanent Hazards
Allow editors to add semi-permanent hazards such as lane blockages and construction, similarly to how we can add fully-permanent hazards like speed bumps and sharp curves.

Suggestions being commented on
I've been scrolling though the most recent suggestions, and it seems like there's no response from anyone unless it's an admin saying "This is not a suggestion", can we at least get a "seen" mark or something so if our ideas are being ignored we'll at least know?
I'm not asking for a personalized comments telling the sweet mom the intricacy's of IP licensing and why we can't get cookie monster permanently, and I know you can't respond in a way that's going to satisfy every person. But just leaving them in ignorance to something that's never going to happen isn't cool.

Option to Delete Waze Chats
Right now with Waze Chats we only have the option to ( clear chat/ Block person or Mute ) so even after clearing the chat only the conversation disappears but the chat window stays always there, right now there is no option to delete Waze Chats from the Chat panel that have no reply or are not relevant anymore, as we mostly use this to reach out to new editors.
it would be great if we had the option to delete the chat completely and removed it from the Chat panel. and this would help editors to keep the relevant and important chats open in the panel. not just every single chat.Thank you

Enable ANY music app to be linked to Waze
Can Waze publish an approve API for music playing app vendors to attach to Waze? I don't use Spotify or the other "approved" apps on your app. Having access to make music selection from your app is a great SAFETY benefit, not just for "branded" vendors!!!

Create a new camera category to support new AI cameras
In Greece there are new AI camera installed on various spots in Athens. These cameras issue tickets for a plethora of traffic violations. Seatbelts, helmets, red lights, speeding, mobile phone usage etc. These cameras are now using a red light camera icon or a bus lane icon or sometimes speed camera icon. There should be a new category for those cameras that cover all the violations.

turn by turn notification on in-car instrument cluster display
On my BMW 5 series (OS8.5) and CarPlay with iOS26, turn by turn notification/guidance that appears in instrument cluster is way too big, covering the route ahead which I need to drive. It is very difficult to see what is in front of me and in that case I need to look at the large display, which is not that safe especially when you need to turn. It would be much nicer to have this window moved underneath the car arrow instead of ETA window. ETA window in instrument cluster is not essential information and I could live without it, easily.
A option in settings "Show guidance below car icon/arrow" will give users freedom of choice depending on their car display and implementation.
Alternatively, move car arrow to the bottom edge of display if possible.

Pothole confirmation
Hello. We have many potholes on roads in Ukraine. They are correctly marked by wazers/users. Why waze asks me every time, each pothole, is it still there? Yes, if it was marked, it will be there for months, or even a year. It will not disappear in 15 minutes! Please fix this issue. It really distracts me. If the pothole was marked by 2 or 3 person, it is permanent. For the next few weeks it will be there for sure! No need to ask each driver, is it still there? If the pothole already exists on a road, it will not disappear in 15 minutes. Please make it permanent for the next month or 2-3 weeks. Thanks.

Take one toll on route but avoid another
If there is more than one toll on a route, I would appreciate if we were able to select that we want to take one toll but avoid another.
Eg. I have two tolls on my way to work, one is $5 and saves me 15 min, the other is $6 and only saves me 5 min, so I want the route to take me through the first toll and avoid the second.
Right now Waze will only let me either take tolls or none at all

Request to Create an Official Georgian (Georgia) Waze Community
Hello Waze Team and Community,
I would like to kindly request the creation of an official Georgian (Georgia) Waze community and forum section.
Currently, there is no dedicated Georgian Waze community or local forum. As a result, Georgia does not have active local editors who can regularly review, approve, or manage map edits. This causes many map issues, delayed updates, and incorrect information to remain unresolved for a long time.
There are editors who edit the region partially or irregularly, but there is no active local Georgian editor who can coordinate improvements, support new editors, or maintain map quality consistently.
Creating an official Georgian community would:
• Help organize and support local editors
• Improve communication and coordination
• Speed up map updates and approvals
• Significantly improve map accuracy and navigation quality in GeorgiaSince a Georgian forum does not exist, I am posting this request in the global forum.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration. I truly believe that an official Georgian Waze community would greatly benefit both users and the platform.
Kind regards,
NiccoloHello Waze Team and Community,

Update search feature in CarPlay
Please fix the search feature in car play. Having a list show up is not helpful if you are trying to add a stop onto your route. Have the search show up on the overview map so then you can pick which insisted best to stop at on the route.
Also,
Please add stop lights visible in the map. Like you can see railroad crossings. It’s surprisingly useful in Google Maps (which I use all the time because of these two great features).

fuel prices by payment method (cash vs credit)
In Israel, many fuel stations have different prices depending on the payment method (cash vs credit card).
Currently, Waze allows entering only one fuel price per station, which often leads to misleading or incorrect information for drivers.
Please add support to enter (and search) separate fuel prices by payment method
This would significantly improve price accuracy and user trust, especially in regions where payment-based pricing is common.3 votes
