Mark a location while driving for follow up for an issue
I know there's a similar idea, but no option to expand on it (maybe other users being able to expand on these suggestions would be good as well).
Basically, you mark a location, Waze gives you an option, to maybe record or voice to text a quick note so you can remember what the concern was later (maybe even say how much later), AND have some kind of indicator within the app or an email that will remind you later.3 votes -
Multi Waypoint Route Planning
Provide multi waypoint route planning, allowing shaping points for tailoring routes, and a library to store routes.
This could be achieved online via Google Maps and synch to Waze app, perhaps under a Subscription model.
Supporting export in GPX format would be a nice value add in support of this too.3 votes -
Customizable reporting shortcuts on the main screen
Waze should allow users to add two or three customizable reporting shortcuts to the main navigation screen.
For example, reporting a stopped vehicle currently requires several taps through different menus. While doing this, drivers must look at the screen instead of the road, which can be distracting and potentially dangerous.
Most users regularly use only a few of the available reporting options. Customizable one-tap shortcuts would make it possible to report common hazards much faster and return full attention to the road immediately.

Navigation interruption
When receiving a Botim or WhatsApp call while driving, Waze gets pushed to the background, interrupting map navigation. To prevent this, please add support for Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode. Additionally, if you re-open Waze after a call, it forces you to re-search the destination; the app should instead save the active trip and resume navigation automatically.
Suggested Fixes:
* Implement Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode so the map remains visible during calls.
* Ensure active navigation state is preserved so trips don't need to be restarted manually.3 votes -
Allow Waze users to correct sightings of "mobile police cameras" when it fact the devices are "license plate readers".
My town has many "license plate readers" that allow police to locate stolen cars or to respond to Amber and Silver alerts. Too many people report them as "mobile police cameras". These devices are not "mobile" and they are not intended to monitor speed. They are intended to locate bad actors. In fact, Waze should not identify these plate readers because they might help bad actors escape detection.

Have Red Light Camera(s) Take Over Traffic Lights
I've seen several users complaining about red light camera(s) not being mapped at many intersections, even though it is mapped (but can only be one-way direction (capturing rear license plates)), it's the traffic lights that are defeating the visibility of the red light camera. Basically, they have the impression that it's a new camera installed, when it's been there for months or years.
I believe users are more used to seeing red light camera(s) displayed on the map, whether it alerts or not when approaching one (like it was before the traffic light rollout), because it also has a traffic light icon inside the camera, making it recognizable as a TL intersection. See https://imgur.com/a/gUWKtiZ
This is NOT intended to mislead anyone (even senior editors). It's about some things that users were more used to when glancing at the screen to see where it's located (even if it doesn't alert them for rear license plates), but Waze should continue to say "At/After the light" if turning.

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.
Thx.3 votes -
New tag
I would like to propose a new tag to go with the police category. With the proliferation of license plate readers, I think there should be a new, separate tag for those. In my area, numerous people are tagging the readers as mobile police cameras, which is incorrect. I think it would benefit all users to add this tag.

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.

Feature Request: Introduce Dimension-Based Vehicle Routing for Japan and Asia
Dear Waze Team,
I would like to propose the introduction of dimension-based vehicle restrictions.
Currently, Waze primarily relies on vehicle categories and passes, which work well in many Western regions. However, in Japan and much of Asia, road restrictions are strictly based on physical dimensions—specifically height, width, weight, and vehicle length.
Because current categories cannot fully account for these physical limitations, large vehicles often face risks or get stuck on unsuitable roads.
Proposed Solution:
Map Data: Allow map editors to configure road segments with specific limits for height, width, weight, and length.
User Input: Allow users to input their vehicle’s physical dimensions within the app.
Implementing this would significantly improve safety and navigation accuracy for trucks and large vehicles in Asia, creating a more consistent global experience. Thank you for considering this improvement.

Navigation does not resume after Android Auto disconnect/reconnect
When Android Auto (wireless) disconnects and I have an active navigation going in Waze on screen, when the phone reconnects Waze does not resume navigation, it just shows me the map. It does not ask to resume the route.
Phone is a Samsung Galaxy s24u, car is a 2017 Kia Sportage with the factory head unit, and an AAWireless in between.

Speed camera visual
I would like to provide feedback regarding the recent changes to speed camera alerts in Waze.
The previous speed camera warning system was much better and easier to see while driving. The blue progress bar provided a clear visual indication that a speed camera was ahead and remained visible as you approached and passed it.
The new circular camera indicator is much less noticeable and is harder to see at a glance. It requires more attention to the screen than the previous design, which defeats the purpose of having a clear and safe warning system.
Please bring back the previous speed camera alert design and allow users to use the original blue progress bar. The old system was more visible, more intuitive, and worked far better while driving.
Thank you for your consideration.

BMW idrive 7
Dear Waze Team,
I am a dedicated Waze user and BMW driver, and I would like to raise a feature request that I believe would make Waze significantly better and safer to use in BMW vehicles: proper integration into the instrument cluster and head-up display.
I currently use Waze in a BMW G42 M240i xDrive, model year 2021, equipped with iDrive 7, Apple CarPlay, and the latest iOS and Waze versions. While Waze works well on the central CarPlay display, navigation instructions are not shown in the digital instrument cluster or in the BMW head-up display. This means that important guidance, alerts, and turn-by-turn information remain limited to the center screen.
For everyday driving, this is a noticeable limitation. BMW’s native navigation system already makes excellent use of the cockpit and HUD by displaying guidance directly in the driver’s field of view. This is not only more convenient, but also safer, because the driver can keep their eyes closer to the road instead of repeatedly looking over to the center display.
From what I have seen, BMW vehicles with iDrive 8 have recently started to receive support for this kind of enhanced Waze integration. That is a very welcome development. However, many BMW drivers are still using iDrive 7, including owners of relatively modern vehicles such as the G42 2 Series. These cars are technically capable of showing navigation information in the cluster and HUD through BMW’s own navigation system, so it would be extremely valuable if Waze could support this functionality as well.
I would therefore kindly ask Waze to consider extending full cockpit integration to BMW vehicles with iDrive 7. Ideally, this would include turn-by-turn directions, lane guidance, next manoeuvre information, speed-camera alerts, police warnings, hazard reports, and other relevant Waze notifications in the instrument cluster and, where supported, the head-up display.
This would be a major improvement for BMW users who rely on Waze because of its excellent real-time traffic information, community alerts, police reports, and speed-camera warnings. At the moment, many drivers have to choose between Waze’s superior live data and BMW’s better cockpit integration. Bringing Waze into the cluster and HUD would remove that compromise and make Waze the obvious choice for many premium-car drivers.
I would be very grateful if you could forward this request to the responsible product, automotive integration, CarPlay, or Android Auto team. It would also be helpful to know whether support for BMW iDrive 7 cluster and HUD integration is already being considered, tested, or planned for a future release or beta program.
Thank you very much for your time and for continuously improving Waze. I genuinely hope this feature can be brought to iDrive 7 users as well, as it would make a meaningful difference to comfort, safety, and the overall driving experience.

Serious CarPlay Bug – White Screen When Selecting Alternate Routes
Hello Waze Support,
There is a serious and long-standing bug in Waze on Apple CarPlay that makes alternate routes completely unusable.
Every time I select an alternate route during navigation, the entire Waze screen turns white. Once this happens, the app becomes completely stuck and cannot be recovered from within CarPlay. The only way to get Waze working again is to disconnect the phone from CarPlay and reconnect it.
This issue occurs consistently and is fully reproducible. It is not an occasional glitch—it happens whenever an alternate route is selected.
Because of this bug, I can no longer use one of the most important features of Waze. The alternate route function is effectively broken on CarPlay, making the app unreliable and frustrating to use while driving.
This problem should not exist in a production release. A navigation app becoming completely unusable simply because a user selects an alternate route is unacceptable.
Please fix this issue as soon as possible.
Thank you.

Easy Customization for Speed Bumps
Speed bump alerts need a direct, easy-to-find customization toggle rather than relying on a "familiarity limit" based on driving days. Without clear control, frustrated drivers constantly report already-mapped speed bumps, flooding the map with duplicates update requests and creating unnecessary cleanup work for editors.

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.

Stop limit for 1 intermediate stop (waypoints)
More than "one stop" limit on the route. At the moment you can set only 1 stop on my route.
I like to use waze for motorcycle trips, often a loop, staring at home, finishing at home.
Also if you have a route reset and you want to add a petrol station, it doesn't let you.
Allow more waypoint options. Much more than 13 votes
