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).

Request: Enable Audible Alerts for All Speed Cameras regardless of speed
Hi all,
There’s strong agreement across the Victorian Waze community that we need audible alerts for every speed camera, regardless of current speed.
At the moment, Waze only plays a sound if you’re already speeding. Otherwise, it’s a silent visual popup — and this creates real safety issues:
Motorcycle riders cannot safely look at their phones, and a silent popup is easily missed with wind, traffic, and other sensory load.
Car drivers can miss the popup too, especially in busy driving environments.
If a driver unintentionally speeds up within 500 m of a camera, Waze gives no warning at all, because the alert has already triggered silently.
Users who don’t want audio can simply turn audio off, but users who do want full audio alerts currently have no way to enable them — the app does not allow choosing “audio for all cameras.”
This request has been raised in the past, but we still don’t have a clear answer. If full audio alerts truly cannot be enabled, can we please be told why the “speed threshold” for triggering audio cannot simply be set to 0? That would give all users the same consistent audible warning, while still allowing anyone who prefers silence to turn audio off entirely.

Add feature to mark Flock
Get free publicity and raise your stock price ! Post new feature to mark flock cameras and release to press media! When some more Epstein Files are about to get released they might push this to top of the new channel instead of releasing the list to create controversy and distraction and Waze will get so much free publicity and more users will now use Waze. Waze has saved my life numerous times from tires and ladders and the middle of the road except for that one raccoon 🦝 but it was totally not my fault! It was dark and raining and no one in front of me marked the raccoon crossing the road! Y’all might need a raccoon icon too! Just in case! No Flock Cameras 🎥

Addition of a "Probationary License
Bonjour
Serait-il possible d'ajouter une option dans les paramètres de navigation permettant de sélectionner un profil 'Jeune Permis / Permis Probatoire' ?
Une fois activée, l'application ajusterait automatiquement l'affichage des limitations de vitesse et les alertes sonores selon la législation en vigueur. Par exemple, en France, les seuils passeraient de 130 à 110 km/h, de 110 à 100 km/h et de 90 à 80 km/h.
L'idéal serait que cette option soit adaptative : les seuils de réduction de vitesse devraient s'ajuster automatiquement en fonction de la réglementation spécifique de chaque pays (par exemple, des limitations différentes en France, en Italie ou en Espagne pour les novices), afin d'offrir une aide personnalisée et légale partout dans le monde. Cela permettrait aux nouveaux conducteurs de respecter la loi sans confusion et d'améliorer la sécurité routière globale.
English
Could you add a toggle in the navigation settings for a 'Probationary / Novice Driver' profile?
When enabled, the app would automatically adjust speed limit displays and alerts based on local regulations for new drivers. For instance, in France, limits would drop from 130 to 110 km/h, 110 to 100 km/h, and 90 to 80 km/h.
The ideal solution would be for this feature to be adaptive: speed reduction thresholds should automatically adjust based on each country's specific regulations for novice drivers (e.g., different limits in France, Italy, or Spain). This would ensure personalized and legally compliant guidance worldwide, helping new drivers stay compliant with the law and avoid accidental speeding tickets during their probationary period.

Sarebbe possibile aggiungere un'opzione nelle impostazioni di navigazione per selezionare il profilo 'Neopatentato'?Una volta attivata, l'app dovrebbe regolare automaticamente la visualizzazione dei limiti di velocità e gli avvisi acustici in base alle normative vigenti. Ad esempio, in Francia, i limiti passerebbero da 130 a 110 km/h, da 110 a 100 km/h e da 90 a 80 km/h.
L'ideale sarebbe che questa funzione fosse adattiva: le soglie di riduzione della velocità dovrebbero regolarsi automaticamente in base alle normative specifiche di ogni paese per i neopatentati (ad esempio, limiti diversi in Francia, Italia o Spagna), garantendo un'assistenza personalizzata e conforme alla legge in tutto il mondo. Questa funzione aiuterebbe i nuovi conducenti a rispettare la legge senza confusione e a migliorare la sicurezza stradale globale.

Road closures
To have the option to post road closures in either direction. For example if heading north bound and see a road closure southbound or if stationary to be able to post road closures, instead of only having option to post about road closures depending on what the gps says what direction it thinks I’m traveling

אירוע חירום - חיפוש מקלט כמסלול חדש
היי
הכנסתם את העדכון לאירוע חירום - פיצ׳ר מבורך וחשוב בתקופה הזוhttps://www.ynet.co.il/digital/technews/article/hyfaoldqbx
אבל צריך לחדד את הצורך - כשאני מחפש מקלט ברגע זה, המסלול שלי כבר לא חשוב
מקלט שנמצא באזור היעד לא מתאים לדרישה שלימה שאני צריך זה לבצע חיפוש למקלטים כאשר הרשימה ממוינת לפי קרבה אליי
כאילו אני מייצר מסלול חדש לגמרי
אח״כ אפשר להפוך את המקלט שבחרתי לעצירת ביניים או לנסיעה חדשה (לפי בחירה)שוב תודה

Make the "Complex Intersection" feature to be set at node
Make the "Complex Intersection" feature to be set at node, not a each segment aproaching the "Complex intersection"
This would make the app less cluttered, as only one alert will be needed instead of several, as of now, one alert for every segment approching the interserction.

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.
Especially since you could easily overlook good ideas that weren't given the time of day as someone dismissed them out of hand.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?

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!!!
