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…

Ability to add speedcameras from an address
I've gotten plenty of speeding tickets and the address is given. Would be helpful to add these speed cameras by an address instead of only when present at the camera

Time zone adjustment
Waze should adjust ETA to the local time when destination is a different time zone. When you leave Phoenix for southwest CO, for example, the ETA should be in mountain time, not AZ time. Currently, the ETA only adjusts when your phone automatically adjusts as you cross the time zone. It would be nice to know drive time is 6 hours, but ETA is 7 hours due to time change.

When marking something on the map you should be able to add info re: what ur posting
Add the ability to define what exactly you are advising others of on the map. For example; instead of just police in general adding the ability to define weather it is a speed camera or an RBT etc

Tapping on a specific position on the map should bring up a menu just like in the phone app.
When holding your finger on a position on the map, a menu should be brought up permitting you to save the address, or go to it. This is too practical to be ignored as a functionality..

Option to upload a picture previously taken instead of just taking them from within the client.
I took a picture of an accident the other day. When deciding to report it to Waze right as I was passing it, I wanted to attach my picture but couldn't. Since I had just passed it, I also couldn't take a new picture.
I think the option to attach a picture stored on the phone would be very useful.

Hallo, I'm an Italian "very young" Wazer and I have a suggestion: to make Waze warn us ALWAYS when exceeding speed limits , regardless of
Hallo, I'm an Italian "very young" Wazer and I have a suggestion: to make Waze warn us ALWAYS when exceeding speed limits , regardless of the proximity of a camera. It could be possibly done by changing the colour of the speed icon (i.e., for example from gray to yellow and then red) to make the message very intuitive , without compel us to distract to read the small numbers on the icon.
Thanks.

Allow iPad users to create accounts
Make it so I can sign up and create an account WITHOUT A F**KING CELL PHONE! Some people don't have them but have downloaded iPads for your app, but can't use them because the sign-up forms and support take us around useless circle. "become a member by giving us your phone number." No, haven't got one. "Need support? Just log on." Morons.

"Stop running in the background" switch on iOS
Hi. I found that Waze continues to run and use GPS and 3G signal while backgrounded on the iPhone. This is catastrophic in our country for two reasons: 1. It keeps the phone very hot. 2. it uses data at about 0.15 USD/MB, thereby ticking down your data and using up your money. You have to explicitly turn it off or explicitly quit the app. There should be a switch that says, and is by default, set to "Do not run or use data or GPS in the background". My experience: I used Waze to get to a…

Is there a Family Locator function?
Is there a Family Locator function? Like if your family member is a waze user, and for privacy they'll let your phone see their location, and you can be guided to their location by the gps?

Show traffic as a bar on car screen as it appears on phone screen
Currently traffic bars for various routes appear on phone screen but not on the car screen when using Carplay. Summary traffic bars for various routes is too valuable to not have

Allow placing a destination pin on the phone while connected to CarPlay
Hi Waze team,
I’m a long-time Wazer (5+ years), and I truly appreciate the app. However, I’d like to share some frustrating limitation:
It’s much harder and slower to move around the map and select a custom point on the car screen. On the phone, it takes seconds. Many times I don’t know the exact address — I just want to navigate to a specific point on the map (e.g. a parking spot or entrance nearby). But CarPlay disables this. I have to disconnect CarPlay, set the destination, and reconnect — very inconvenient.
Thanks for all the great work…

Voice commands when using Waze in Android Auto
Please update Waze so that I can use voice to report hazards. When using Waze on my phone, I can report hazards via Google assistant but it does not work when using Waze in Android auto. I have to look away from the road and touch screen 3 different time to report a hazard. Very dangerous

Two cars
It would be quite useful to be able to configure two (or more) different car profiles. In my case I have a diesel car and an electric car, and I may use one or the other depending what where I want to go (for instance, city center is forbidden for non electric cars). So a feature where I could just simply choose my car when opening the app up or even better, auto detection of what car I am in using CarPlay or Android Auto, would be really nice to have.

Release new symbian version
The symbian is very popular platform wich is dying, I know. But it is still popular, and mobile phones with symbian Bella are still being released. It would be great to up to date the existing version. I heard that android and iphone use opengl to render 3d maps and symbian doesnt support it, but I think it is not the cause to completely close the symbian project.

Multiple vehicles
A quick way to toggle settings between two or more vehicles. When I drive my truck I use the expressways, I use alerts only, and diesel is preferred. When I ride my motorcycle I don't use expressways, I turn on navigation since my phone stays in my pocket, and premium gas is preferred. A way to save particular settings when toggling between private and motorcycle would be appreciated.
