Show my saved places on the map
It would be nice to be able to see all my saved places on the map - both in the app, and when logged in on desktop.

Optional "no map" (trip computer) view when route is known
8 out of 10 times I use Waze driving to and from work, a route I know very well so I don't need Waze to show me my position on the map.
What I instead would like is a "trip computer" kind of interface, showing me things like my current speed, current speed limit (if known), maybe a color code for traffic ahead on route (green, yellow, red), ETA, current road name (nice to have, not need to have - I know where I am), live updates of incidents (needs to update themselves automatically), textual navigation instructions like "turn right…15 votes -
Make map chats into a full messaging feature.
Map chats usually pop up and then disappear after a while, leaving no trace. I would like to be able to get back the chats I receive and respond to them later when I'm not driving. This would increase the 'socialness' of Waze and maybe even lead to making new friends on the road.

icons on map view
When I am looking at my three route options, the List view shows my small icons representing events on my suggested paths. But, when I switch to Map view - when I want to SEE what's going on where - those same icons are nowhere to be found.
Having the event icons on the map view (when choosing a route) would help me make a more informed decision on which route to choose because I can see for certain how traffic, accidents, etc. will impact each route and which makes more sense (based upon prior experience on those roads).
Thanks!…

Assign color to app in notification bar
Is there a way to assign a color to the application when you drag down your notification bar on the android app? When you take a call and need to bring waze back up, it would stand out better with a color. Google maps has a color and is very easy to bring back while driving.

iPod assess while navigating
waze is an excellent navigation app. I waze is a great navigation app. I even think its better than google maps and motion gpx. The only feature that it is missing is access to your iPod on the iPhone while navigating, like motion gpx has . Please add this feature on.

Notification banner whilst not on top
Hi guys
Quick suggestion.. try to develop a notification for alerts (turns, speed cameras, etc.) for when Waze isn't on top... Just like Google maps navigation does.
That'd be great!

I would like to see saved places as icons on the map, not just in the list.
I would like to see saved places as icons on the map, not just in the list, like icons home and work. Sygic, Google Maps already have this feature.

Fix the gas price functionality by adding additional shortcuts to update gas station prices and automatically remove old data
The current method of adding gas prices is apparently too hard for many Wazers to find. Editors are constantly receiving PURs regarding incorrect and out of date gas prices. I have three recommendations for where to add a shortcut:
- Add a button to the page that shows all of the gas stations near your location.
- Add a button on the gas station's info page right below the listed prices.
- If a user is located within the gas station area, give a popup (like when Waze detects a traffic jam).
The gas station price functionality has the potential to be much…

Android Auto Enhancements
The Android Auto integration is pretty good, but what would make it perfect is just a couple tweaks:
1) Make it auto-start when you start Android Auto. I don't mean it would come up instead of the AA home screen, I mean unlike Google Maps, when you have Waze as your default mapping app, your typical destinations don't appear on the AA home screen until you click the map icon. I also cannot hit my car's "Nav" button to get me into Waze until I've manually opened it once. With Google Maps as default, I can hit Nav button…

Integrate behind steering wheel Polestar 2
PLEASE WAZE, There are currently like over 60 000 Polestar 2 cars on the road. Polestar has made it possible to have waze application on the cars center display but when using Waze, the screen behind the steering wheel becomes dark. When using google maps on Polestar 2, we get both maps on center screen and the screen behind the steering wheel.
Polestar Support has reached out and said that Waze needs to integrate this. Please do , we have been waiting for more than e year for this.

Add stop along route
It would be nice to be able to use Google Assistant hands free to ask Waze to find a stop along your route like Google Maps does. Right now, if you ask it to find something while you're on a trip, it will just do a generic search that may have results in the opposite direction. On Google Maps, it gives you a list truly along your route and tells you how many minutes it will add to your overall trip. That would be lovely on Waze, please.

Pérdida GPS debajo pisos elevados CDMX
El 31 de oct al circular en los carriles a nivel de piso debajo de pisos elevados CDMX, WAZE perdió el GPS con TELCEL y no íbamos en carriles subterráneos. En cambio con GOOGLE MAPS sin problema.

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 -
Look on map events from Report ahead list
It would be useful if you can see on map events listed in Report ahead. Let say you are driving and you notice some traffic jam ahead so you just select that event and it shows on map where you can decide if you change your way or stay.

Smart Road Updates: Automating Map Accuracy with New Roads
When a new road opens and an old road is no longer in use, wouldn’t it be convenient to have a technology that automatically removes the old road's information from maps and systems? For example, this could help navigation systems and map apps stay up-to-date, preventing incorrect directions.

Android auto roundabout interface
The icon that my car is displaying on roundabouts is wrong continously. It has changed, but now shows the exit number and an icon that I need to turn around from where I came from. Please, just do the same as Google Maps is doing, show the right icon witht the right exit number (so exit 1, one quarter of a round).
Additionally, I also saw at the roundabout near I live that the first exit was displayed as an left turn, which is wrong altogether.11 votes -
Add Building Outlines with Addresses on them
I use Waze for rideshare, and it would be great to be able to zoom into the map and see the outline of buildings and the address on them. Google maps has this.

Autotype something so u don’t need to type the complete adres
So, something that really bothers me on Waze (iPhone) is the fact that u can’t type an adres and use the arrow pointing left up corner, like on YouTube, google maps, google... it has the function to complete the adres without typing it and stil able to write more. So actually completing an adres without writing it complete. If I could post a picture it would be easier to explain. But google maps has it.
