Reoccuring online check
Waze appears to check for an internet connection only when the app first starts. If no connection is available at that point, it switches to an offline-maps-only mode. However, it does not seem to check again for connectivity while the app remains open.
For example, my car’s Wi‑Fi can take a few minutes to start after the ignition is turned on. If I open Waze before the Wi‑Fi is connected, the app stays offline even once the connection becomes available. To restore online functionality, I currently have to either start and cancel a route or fully close and reopen the app.
Please add periodic or event-based internet connectivity checks while Waze is running in offline mode. The app should automatically return to online operation as soon as a usable connection becomes available, without requiring the user to take manual action.
This would also help drivers who begin a journey in an area with no mobile signal but regain coverage later. At present, they may continue using Waze offline for the entire journey unless they manually trigger a refresh or restart the app.

Network issues
When gps or network can't be found because you parked in a car park or garage. Can the app try and find a gps connection or network connection again ever 30 seconds or a minute for when you have reception again so waze can get updates.
When waze suggests directions to a regular destination. Can the box disappear after 30 seconds or a minute. The box stays indefinately at present and it's annoying to click on each time you start the car after stopping cause waze thinks it knows where you want to go.

Ajout de nouveaux types de véhicules et prise en compte des caractéristiques du véhicule
Je souhaiterais proposer une amélioration de la gestion des véhicules dans Waze.
Il serait intéressant de permettre aux utilisateurs de choisir davantage de types de véhicules, par exemple :
- Camion ;
- Utilitaire ;
- Camping-car ;
- Véhicule avec remorque.
De plus, il serait utile de pouvoir renseigner les caractéristiques du véhicule directement dans l'application :
- Poids total ;
- Hauteur ;
- Largeur ;
- Longueur.
Ces informations pourraient ensuite être utilisées par Waze afin d'adapter les itinéraires et éviter automatiquement les restrictions de circulation, notamment :
- Les passages sous ponts limités en hauteur ;
- Les routes limitées en largeur ;
- Les ponts et routes comportant une limitation de poids ;
- Les interdictions de circulation pour certaines catégories de véhicules.
Enfin, Waze pourrait également adapter les limitations de vitesse affichées selon le type de véhicule renseigné.
Exemple : sur la N20 en direction de Longjumeau, certaines portions sont limitées à 90 km/h pour les voitures mais à 70 km/h pour les véhicules de plus de 3,5 tonnes. Waze pourrait alors afficher la limitation adaptée au véhicule utilisé.
Cette fonctionnalité améliorerait la sécurité et rendrait Waze plus adapté aux conducteurs de camions, camping-cars, utilitaires et autres véhicules spécifiques.

Head up display
Dear Waze Team,
Please add Head-Up Display (HUD) support for Waze navigation in Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Many modern vehicles, including the new Toyota RAV4 2026, are equipped with advanced HUD systems that can display navigation instructions directly on the windshield. It would be extremely useful and safer if Waze could show upcoming turns, lane guidance, distance to the next maneuver, and other navigation information on the HUD.
Waze is my preferred navigation app, and HUD integration would greatly improve the driving experience and help drivers keep their eyes on the road.
Thank you for considering this feature

Add a detailed preview for roundabouts
I saw this feature in some map app online, so when heading to a roundabout, just like what waze does, a popup will show on the top of the screen and showing a simple symbol to tell which exit we should take. What about having a detailed preview showing a birdseye view on the roundabout and showing the exact route i.e. what lane and exit show take instead of simple symbol and exit name?

Allow multiple custom voice recordings per command (randomized playback)
Please allow users to upload or record multiple audio variants for each command, and let Waze randomly choose one during navigation.
This would make custom voices far more natural, fun, and less predictable.
Even a simple “playlist” of recordings per command would greatly improve the feature.Thank you for considering this enhancement.

Reduce Distance in which School Zones are Merged
Currently, two school zones with 500 m (1640 feet, or about 0.31 miles) will be merged. This can lead to the driver being told they are within a school zone for over 0.5 miles, when they are not. The criterion for merging should be a shorter distance, with no merging if the zones have different speed limits.

searching for gas stations, restaurants, or parking lots along my active route
Hi Waze Team, I’d like to propose a feature: when searching for gas stations, restaurants, or parking lots along my active route, Waze should first display the ones that are directly on my route and on the same side of the road I'm driving on, leaving the ones off-route for the end of the list. It would be much more practical. The goal is to prioritize places that don't require making detours or U-turns, showing businesses located right on the shoulder/side of the road first, and placing options that involve crossing the avenue or detouring at the bottom of the list.

התראת שוטר סמוי בתנועה
התראת שוטר סמוי בתנועה- דיווח על שוטר סמוי בתנועה.
- ההתראה נשארת פעילה בטווח של כ־200 מטר מהמיקום החי של הנהג המדווח.
- כל עוד הנהג המדווח ממשיך בנסיעה, ההתראה מתעדכנת בזמן אמת ונעה איתו.
נהגים בסביבה יקבלו התראה לפי המיקום שלהם:
- נהגים שנמצאים מאחורי הרכב המדווח: “שוטר סמוי לפניך בטווח של 200 מטר.”
- נהגים שנמצאים לפני הרכב המדווח: “שוטר סמוי מאחוריך בטווח של 200 מטר.”
אימות קהילתי:
- נהגים בסביבה יכולים ללחוץ “ראיתי” כדי לאשר את הדיווח.
- ברגע שנהג מאשר, ההתראה הנעה מופעלת גם אצלו וממשיכה להתעדכן לנהגים שנמצאים בטווח של 200 מטר ממנו.
- דיווחים שאושרו נשארים פעילים לזמן מוגבל.
- דיווחים שלא אושרו נעלמים אוטומטית לאחר זמן קצר

Info Box and button placement: bottom / top / left / right
Currently, all info and buttons show up at the bottom of the screen.
But I placed the iPhone in the car, where I cannot see this bottom area. It would be nice if there were an option to place this info and the buttons on other parts of the screen where they are more visible (and reachable) for me.

Pothole Buffer
We have some major potholes in our immediate area that is not being repaired. However, I need to re-add these big potholes every second day on the app, Is there a way to prevent the app from removing a pothole the moment the first user selects “Not there” from the app because they see the popup as a nuisance and not to update the hazard status. You need to ideally change it so that three or more users need to say that the particular pothole has been repaired before removing it. The same goes for other reported hazards.

Truck map
Hi Waze. It would be a great idea if you could make maps for Trucks. Bridge height, bridge weight restrictions , length restrictions. Truck stops are not priority but would be nice to have. I use car play in my 40t truck with Waze but I use tom tom too, but I don’t Like TomTom. Sadly I have no choice but to use it 😂

Move speedometer position
Hello Waze team,
The speedometer is currently hard to see in its position while driving. Please add an option to move it, especially to the top-right corner, or allow users to customize its position on the screen. This will improve visibility and safety.

Animal Crossing Hazard
I tend to be on the road often and absolutely love using Waze whenever I need a GPS. As someone on the road often, I tend to notice there are many times that there are sudden animal crossings or a lost pet on the side of the road. This does tend to be on highways where many people are going very fast and are not as careful with their driving.
I recently thought of the idea- I think Waze should include a button, under the hazard category where we could press some form of “careful animal crossing” button to warn other drivers there may be a sudden animal crossing or pet walking the side of road. This would alert other drivers, allowing them to drive with more caution to protect themselves as well as the animal.
I wanted to share this idea and see if it could be implemented in the app. I hope this could work.

For police cameras alerts
This is very important, since it occured many times. You have to give option in police camera alerts, to choose at which distance to announce alert. Sometimes it announces very near to the police camera. Give options for example 2km, 1km, 500m etc. so drivers can choose. Also give another option to choose, in same area if settings, that will alert or not, on each specified distance (2km, 1km, 500m etc). Give another option to give continuous alert for speed cameras (instead of alerting on each of above distances), with intervals every 1second, 2 seconds......5 seconds. Also give option to choose any sound for the alert. To choose a volume for the alert from Settings, so in case of low volume, alert will not be lost.
In this way users can choose:
1) The distance that notification will start for police cameras (2km, 1km, 500m etc.)
2) Whether they want to be notified or not, in every of the above distance (2km, 1km, 500m, etc)
3) Whether they want to be notified or not, in specified intervals (1second, 2 seconds) until they reach the camera.
4) To choose any sound alert for camera.
5) To choose a volume for the alert from Settings, so in case of low volume, alert will not be lost. In this case the new feature, must override system volume.This is very important, since it occured many times.
