Move (Install) to SD Card (Android)
I would like to be able to move waze to my SD card. I have 2.2, but my phone does not have enough internal storage for all my apps. It would be awesome if I could move this to my SD since it is one of the larger apps.

Use the telephone acceletor to get data about road quality
Use the telephone acceletor to get data about the general quality of the road. I live near roads that your phone would be shaking constantly. The accelerometer can be useful to give an overall quality rating for each segment.
Then waze could have an option prefer to choose good roads when routing.

Have voice speak "Heavy" or "Moderate" or "Standstill" traffic ahead.
Need to have verbal notification of heavy, moderate and standstill traffic ahead. Not safe to look down at phone to see traffic ahead

Show turn notifications on phone even when Waze is active in Android Auto
When using Waze via Android Auto I receive helpful turn notifications (e.g. “Turn left in 200 meters”) as notifications on my smartphone only when Waze is minimized (e.g. while Spotify is in focus).
Howeve when Waze is active on the car screen these notifications do not appear on the phone.It would be very useful if those notifications could appear on the phone at all times via an option, i would find this very usefull
Thanks!1 vote -
Some bugs encountered with the application
I use Waze very frequently for my work. Both as a GPS and as an assistant for road hazards.
I've noticed a few anomalies in Android Auto.When I approach a speed camera, Waze informs me about it and the distance. As soon as I have passed the zone, the "Speed camera" indication remains on the screen and Waze does not provide any other information.
I have taken some pictures of the problem encountered. If you want them, let me know where I should send them.Thank you.

Sending a location to Android Auto from the phone is set as new destination without proposing to set it as a stop
When using Waze on Android Auto and sending a location to waze from a phone app, the location is set as new destination, replacing the existing destination if there was one. A possibility to select between replace or add a stop would be better.

alert me about speed cameras even if I'm below the limit, in the same way it does if I'm above the limit.
you need to make it so it will alert me about speed cameras even if I'm below the limit, in the same way it does if I'm above the limit. it's very annoying because I might speed up in between not getting an alert, and the camera.

Obscured vehicle speed
When driving in an average speed trap zone, the vehicle speed is partially obscured by the average speed trap indicator.
ALSO.. when approaching a speed camera while in the zone a banner pops up TOTALLY obscuring the vehicle speed until the camera proximity is passed.
This is a NEW FAULT affecting only average speed zones since a recent update when a banner issue obscuring speed indicator for all speed cameras was resolved
Please resolve this frustrating issue.
Vehicle speed is obscured JUST when you need it most. Thank you !4 votes -
Enhance the "Prevent Auto-Lock" setting
Enhance the "Prevent Auto-Lock" setting, so that you can have one setting for when it is plugged in and charging and another setting when not charging.
This will allow for the option to let the phone to go into standby, if the phone is left on after turning the car off.

Bug or Evo: Switch on phone datas when your device is linked on wifi without internet access
When the Android device (I didn't try with Ios) is linked to other device by wifi, it's impossible to use Waze. The application say "no network connection" and close. We need to stop the wifi on the phone to use Waze with phone datas.
A better work should be : When there is no connection with wifi, automatically switch on phone datas.Actual example: My phone is automatically linked by wifi on my dashcam ==> Waze doesn't start because no access to data by wifi. So I need to switch off wifi, and Waze can start.
Thanks to take care…

Problem pushing directions bluetooth from android to car speakers
Waze has been my fav for a long time because it pushed spoken directions from all my iPhones to the car speakers via bluetooth. It seemed to do this by tricking my radio (Kenwood) into thinking a call was coming through. Pretty crafty. But since the latest iPhone update that messed up other things regarding bluetooth, Ive gotten an android phone. Now the waze app on android won't push spoken directions to the car speakers when the radio is set on (radio). It seems like a big safety issue since when in the car its hard…

Put app in Tesla S
Partner with Tesla to have Waze added (or replace Google Maps). I have a Tesla S and the customized Google maps that comes with the car is often VERY wrong about directions and traffic. I end up using Waze on my phone to find the best alternative routes. Give Elon Musk a call!

Add option to enable and disable Waze based on Bluetooth and charging status
Add the ability to enable or disable Waze based on various factors, such as bluetooth being enabled, name of paired device currently connected, or if the phone is currently connected to a power source. I love the app but I often forget to turn it off or on. As a result, I either burn battery by gps staying on if I forget to turn it Waze off, or I don't contribute to the community if I forget to turn Waze on. This could also be accomplished externally through integration with Tasker, as suggested by these ideas :

WiFi for CarPlay/AndroidAuto and Phone for Data
The key point here is that
I HAVE NOT SUBSCRIBED TO MY CAR's ONSTAR DATA PLAN- my iPhone is able to connect to the car over WiFi for Apple Car Play
- Waze is able to operate through "WiFi Car Play" on my car's infotainment system
- This is key: THE CAR DOES NOT HAVE A DATA PLAN. So while I'm connected to the car's local area network (LAN) my phone does not have wide area network (WAN) data through the car's WiFi.
- Since the phone is connected to the car over WiFi, Waze thinks it should have WAN data and…
