Have Waze automatically detect your speed on major roads
I drive the same busy highway every morning (I-64) here in the Hampton Roads of Virginia. A major section of it is under construction. Instead of passengers and/or drivers taking their eyes off the road to manually enter moderate/heavy/standstill traffic, it would be nice for Waze to automatically detect it and publish it to the map since there are enough people using Waze in this area. I'm sure an algorithm can be written that can detect Wazers within a 1-5 mile radius that are traveling at a particular speed and be able to automatically display the 'traffic speed' for a…

Indicator on alert for direction
When an alert is displayed on the map, it is generally impossible to tell whether the alert applies to the current direction of travel or the opposite.

Make the nav text (under the distance) white instead of light blue to improve contrast
The current navigation text is light blue on black (which becomes dark gray under most lighting conditions) lacks contrast and becomes unreadable in many situations. Also would be good to allow for user-selectable text size to take advantage of larger displays (6 and 6 plus).

City name under street name
Display the name of the city below that of the street you are on. (To avoid having to zoom out the map while driving)

Keep Waze on top so navigation always visible
I’m sure Waze used to remain visible over other apps. Google suggests Settings -> General -> Display over other apps but option’s not there?

Toll amount display should adjust as you go along trip. Just like distance and time.
I live in an area of Florida (US) that has toll roads everywhere, It would be nice if as you pass a toll, the toll amount displayed would adjust to what amount remains as opposed to the unchanged toll total for the trip. Just like Time and mileage adjust so you know whats left. It is much more informative to know how much you have left to help decide if getting off a toll road makes sense or not.

As all iPhone users know, each time you make a call or use the maps application, and you exit the application to go see something else, the iOS will display on the top of the screen a colored bar showing that the process on the app you exited is still going; and by just touching that part of the screen it will return back to that app to whatever is doing (calling, following a route, etc) this is a helpful suggestion because while driving you want to have your eyes on the road and not on your phone trying to…

Barra di ricerca
La barra di ricerca nella parte inferiore copre buona parte del display e non si può nemmeno togliere. Sarebbe molto utile la possibilità di disattivarla

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 -
Issues with new update
There are a number of issues with the new Android Waze update. I think it is obvious that the developers use the app on a large screen. The speed limit and current speed are far too small to read while driving. The circle with the speed in it is about 1/2" in diameter on a 7" screen. The speed text and the speed limit are under 1/4" and are very hard to read.
Also, when in full screen display, if one provides a location to navigate to, Waze shows the command in the dialog box, but does nothing. If…

Allow reporting of New Incidents while an Alert is active (Android Auto)
When using Waze on Android Auto, if an active alert (e.g., speed camera, crash, lane closure) is currently displayed on the screen, the button to report a new incident becomes inaccessible or disappears.
To submit a new report, the driver is currently forced to first accept or close the existing alert. This is highly impractical and potentially unsafe while driving.This limitation prevents users from easily reporting multiple, co-located events (like a lane closure and a crash) in densely populated areas where multiple things often happen near each other.
I suggest that the Report Button should remain visible and…

enlarge the size of the speed display on android devices, and change the colours to improve contrast
I find the speed hard to read on my android when mounted to the handlebars on my bike. If the speed was larger, and with better contrast, especially the red on black, that would help a lot

Im CarPlay fehlt eine Zeit für die ungefähre Verzögerung auf der Strecke
Es müsste eine Anzeige für die voraussichtliche Verzögerung auf der gesamten Route auf dem Display vom Car Play angezeigt werden. Bei TomTom ist die Funktion vorhanden.

Please please please - add destination to map page
I can't tell you how many times I or friends have punched in a destination and started driving to the wrong location....because of inadvertently selected the wrong location or a location was typed in incorrectly. It would be sooooo helpful if the destination location were prominently displayed on the map display page. Maybe there's some setting or preference that I'm missing... and if there is, please let me know... but if there isn't, please implement this change that seems like a complete no-brainer.

Police traffic stop - recording speed
I would like to see an action that is a button always on the app screen displayed that allows you to capture speed and other information about your location, etc., when you are being pulled over by a police for speeding. Allow the user's to review the data at stop point to know their speeds, lets say 5 minutes prior to pressing the ticket button. Also, email the data to the user's email.
