Take advantage of AMOLED screens
AMOLED screens have the capability to reduce battery life when used correctly.
When a user either selects Night Mode or Waze automatically selects Night Mode, please change the background to solid black instead of dark blue. This will greatly reduce the amount of LEDs being used by the screen, thus saving battery life.
Or if a users wish to keep the dark blue background, have an option to select "Dark Night" mode.53 votes -

Announcements depending on speed
I recommend that Waze adjust the "trigger distance" for pre-alerts when traveling quickly.
For example, currently Waze pre-alerts "In one-tenth of a mile ..." regardless of speed.
If you are driving 60 MPH, you cover the one-tenth of a mile in a mere 6-seconds ... by that time, Waze is already alerting you (AGAIN) that it's time to make the turn.
I'm all for voice alerts ... but when the app gabs for 10-seconds straight because of back-to-back announcements, eh....

kate
Please, please, please, someone at Waze sort out the English UK Kate voice issue. Forget the new version, sounds clunky,synthetic and unnatural, just re-instate as before. It's downright distracting now while driving, will loook for an alternative app if this continues.

לתת עדיפות לתוצאות של בתי חולים או סימון מיוחד
לאחר מספר מקרים בהם חברים ניסו להגיע לביתח חולים אך הכתובת הראשונה היתה לפי קירבה (למשל רחוב בלינסון בכפר סבא במקום בית חולים בלינסון בפתח תקווה) ובגלל החשיבות הגדוחה בעניי כאשר אדם מנסה להגיע לבית חולים אני מצעיה שבחיפוש שמות של בתי חוליפ הם יוםיעו ראשונים (ולא בהכרח התוצאה הקרובה) או לחילופין שלבתי חולים יוסיפו סימן אשר ייחד אותם מכתובות אחרות ם

Show Accurate Distance to Exit Inside Roundabouts
Display the actual remaining distance to the correct exit while inside the roundabout. This would help drivers better anticipate when to exit, especially in larger or multi-exit roundabouts.
When driving a roundabout, the distance to the exit is always shown as “0 m” in the current navigation display. This can be misleading, as the driver has not yet reached the exit.
Knowing how far it is to the correct exit helps reduce confusion and allows for smoother lane changes and safer navigation. Showing “0 m” before reaching the exit does not reflect the real driving experience and can lead to hesitation or missed exits.
Thanks!

Give us back familiar voices.
Many people have expressed their disappointment and frustration that the voices in Waze have been changed with claims that the new voices are more "natural". On the contrary, many of us feel the voices are cold and we want the former versions back. We use the Italian Sofia and the new voice has no warmth or connection for us. Many other users have said the same of the English Thomas and Kate and other voices from varying languages. Please return our familiar navigators! The world is alienating enough without these changes!

Add a 'record my route' button, you can then forward your ideal route to another wazer
We all have our preferred routes, (example) it is so nice to give away your country adventure route to a friend and share the best views, rides and sceneries to the perfect holiday location. Just press the 'record' button and afterwards 'save route' and 'share route'.

Add "No lanes closed" response to "Waze Asks" card for roadworks alerts
A recent unannounced change has added a "What do you see?" card when approaching a roadworks alert. The only response options are to report lane closures or to indicate that the roadworks are no longer there. There is no intuitive option to dismiss the question or respond that construction is still taking place but no lanes are closed.
The majority of roadworks take place without any lane closures, yet the app assumes that closures will occur.
Without an intuitive way to respond differently to a lane closure, many users seem to be selecting one of the closure options to dismiss the question, even when there are no closed lanes. Since this feature was introduced to the production app, most construction alerts have been changed to lane closure pins, resulting in incorrect warnings for all users passing by.Please provide an easy way to respond to the "What did you see?" card with something other than a lane closure, e.g. "Roadworks still there, but no lanes closed".
This would avoid the often confusing question that is not relevant to the situation on the road, as well as incorrect warnings.
This behaviour was confirmed as WAD in a beta bug report: https://www.waze.com/discuss/t/construction-alert-card-has-only-close-followed-by-weird-what-do-you-see-card/386460
A similar suggestion was posted in the beta forum before the feature went to production: https://www.waze.com/discuss/t/solve-the-problem-with-that-the-construction-roadworks-alert-type-always-assume-a-closed-lane/387036

Vehicle options
Dear Sir or Madam,
I would like to have the possibility to add the settings of the vehicle. Like weight, width and length. So that I get a better navigation for the motorhome. As I am otherwise very satisfied with the program and would like to use it for all trips.
Kind regards

Emergency road closure.
I know that there is a feature to report closed roads but that is for long term. What I want to see is when I come around the corner and the fire department or police department has a road shut down because of an emergency it would be nice to know that the road is temporarily closed ahead by the Emergency Services.

Road closure options
Would be nice to be able to report a road closure prior to starting trip. I know a major road is closed but I can't report it to be routed around it until I am at the closure

Suggest EV charging stations close to destination
In the new update EV charging stations have been integrated into the Waze experience. The issue is that they are treated as petrol stations while most EV-chargers are more suited as destination chargers.
When navigating to a destination with parking locations nearby, Waze suggests navigating to these locations instead in the search result.
I suggest making a similar feature for EV charging stations close to your destination. So in addition to the "Where to park" suggestions, you would also have a header with "Where to charge" suggestions.
This would significantly increase the discoverability of the AC chargers in Waze, whereas the current approach mostly promotes the use of DC chargers along your route.In the new update EV charging stations have been integrated into the Waze experience.
