Add a grid on the background instead of the uniform grey colour.
This would increase the "sensation" of perspective and, if the grid is at fixed size (example 100x100 meters) would also help in understanding how much space there's before next turn/crossroad/stop....

Remember Events filter
I would like the client to remember the setting I select for filtering Events. "Around Me", "On Route" and "My Groups" are great filters, but when I return to the map/driving view, I want my Events count at the top to be filtered and when I tap on it/select it, I want my Events report list to still be filtered by the same criteria.

Road trip mode: track progress since activation, share milestones
For longer, multi-stage trips, a more robust kind of logging might be useful. This "road trip" mode would keep track of the distance traveled since activation, and post a message on Twitter, Facebook, etc. when a milestone has been passed (e.g., passing a predetermined amount of miles or crossing a state/provincial/national boundary).

Improve one-way arrow visibility on editors/apps and add 3D/signage-style directions
Dear Waze Team,
Thank you for your continuous operation and ongoing improvements to both the Waze Map Editor (WME) and the Waze app. I would like to propose a feature request to improve the visibility and design of one-way arrows.
Currently, one-way arrows present visibility challenges in both the editor and the live app:
In the Map Editor (WME):
One-way arrows are mainly displayed in black. While they are relatively clear on light-colored roads (like yellow), they blend into the background on green or blue roads, making it extremely difficult to determine the traffic direction during detailed editing.
Suggested Solution: Add a white outline to the arrows or adjust their color dynamically based on the road color.
In the Waze App:
On the actual navigation screen, one-way arrows can also be hard to spot depending on the map background.
Suggested Solution: Make the arrows stand out more clearly against any background color, and introduce a 3D/stereoscopic or directional signage-style design so drivers can instantly recognize traffic flow.
Implementing these improvements will significantly enhance editing accuracy for editors and navigation safety for drivers. Thank you very much for your time and consideration.
Best regards,

Subject: Black Bar Appears in Landscape Mode on iPhone
Subject: Black Bar Appears in Landscape Mode on iPhone
Hello Waze Support Team,
I would like to report a visual issue with the Waze app on the iPhone 15 Pro. When using navigation in landscape mode, a black bar appears on the screen. It cannot be removed and negatively affects the app’s appearance and user experience.
Could you please investigate this issue and consider fixing it in a future update?
P.S. The same issue has also been observed on the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 13.
Thank you for your attention.

Title: Add a One-Tap “Save Current Location” Button
Suggestion:
Please add a simple “Save Current Location” button directly to the main map screen.
Currently, saving a location requires several steps: tapping the three-dot menu, selecting “Explore this place,” choosing “Save,” and entering a name.
This is unnecessarily complicated, especially for drivers who need to save a location quickly while navigating. It also creates a safety concern because drivers may need to spend too much time looking at their phone and navigating multiple menus.
Please add a one-tap option to save the current GPS location automatically, using the date and time as the default name, with the option to rename it later.
Waze is a useful navigation app, but this simple improvement would make it much more convenient and safer to use.
Thank you for considering this suggestion.

Remove split screen when tapping report button
On Android Auto Projected it's currently required to manually tap the Waze screen on a split screen after tapping the report button to move back to full screen and start reporting. This requires an additional tap by the user and should be avoided by automatically moving to full screen when tapping the report button.

PUR (Pending Update Request) for L6-Locked POI Modifications by L6 Editors
Bonjour,
Currently, a Level 6 (L6) editor can directly modify or delete a POI locked at the same level (L6) without intermediate validation.
However, L6 editors remain human and can make mistakes due to oversight or accidental edits. A recent concrete case demonstrated this: a critical POI locked at L6, essential for the Tour de France, was deleted by another L6 editor. This caused a critical operational outage on the ground, which is especially harmful since the associated QR code cannot be regenerated.
To secure map integrity on high-lock elements, we request the implementation of a suggestion system (PUR - Pending Update Request) for any modification or deletion of a POI locked at L6, even when the action is initiated by another Level 6 editor.
Benefits:
Prevent unintentional destructive modifications or deletions on strategic or event-driven points.
Ensure peer review (mandatory validation by another L6 editor or the lock creator) before final application.
Secure high-stakes operational data (partnerships, major events, critical infrastructure).

Adding a stop
When adding a stop, it would be ideal that it searches for options that are along your current route rather than any place. I often choose the closest in distance but then realize it’s got me going in the opposite direction of where I was originally going. Great app though. Definitely my navigation app of choice.

Add 3D Buildings / Landmarks for Enhanced Visual Orientation
I would like to suggest adding 3D buildings on the map
Rationale & Benefits:
Better Visual Orientation: When driving in unfamiliar urban areas, drivers naturally rely on prominent physical landmarks. Rendering major buildings in 3D establishes a clear connection between what drivers see on their screen and their actual surroundings.
Safer & Faster Decision-Making: At complex intersections or in dense city centers, recognizable 3D landmarks allow drivers to instantly confirm their route at a glance, minimizing distraction and keeping their focus on the road.
Enhanced Map Quality: Including iconic structures elevates the overall navigation experience, making the map more intuitive, functional, and visually engaging for both local and visiting drivers.

Proactive Alert for Upcoming Passing Lanes / Climbing Lanes (3rd Lane)
PROPOSAL: Add a proactive voice and visual alert for upcoming passing lanes or climbing lanes (3rd lane) at 1km and 500m (e.g., "Passing lane in 500 meters").
PROBLEM: On single-lane highways, poor road signage combined with driver impatience behind slow vehicles leads to high-risk overtaking. Drivers often execute dangerous passes just meters before a dedicated 3rd lane they didn't know was ahead.
SAFETY IMPACT: Early notification shapes driver behavior. Knowing a safe overtaking opportunity is nearby reduces impatience and prevents severe head-on collisions.

PROPOSTA: Adicionar alerta sonoro e visual de início de terceira faixa / ponto de ultrapassagem a 1 km e 500m.
PROBLEMA: Em rodovias de pista simples, a falta de sinalização e a impaciência fazem motoristas arriscarem ultrapassagens perigosas pouco antes de locais com terceira faixa que eles desconheciam.
IMPACTO NA SEGURANÇA: Avisar com antecedência acalma o motorista, que aguarda o local seguro e evita colisões frontais gravíssimas.ALSO ADD: Early voice alerts for sharp and dangerous curves ahead, especially on single-lane roads with low visibility.

Automate Far Lanes
Given mutiple (2 or more) turn or continue straight lanes (road width) at point X, with a turn upcoming within 1/2 mile (suggested) at point Y, Waze should automate the recommended turn lane at point X. At least initially, this feature should be able to be over-ridden by editors and the feature should not overwrite any existing far lane or junction box configurations.

Bring back Paddington!
Paddington was the best and most enjoyable voice on Waze! Even if we knew the way, we'd still turn Waze on to listen to Paddington talk and direct us. No other voice makes driving as enjoyable as Paddington's did.

Dangerous pop ups
There are pop ups mid journey to advertise the voice reporting that I cannot stop without accepting this feature. This is dangerous for motorcyclists. I can't remove the pop up without stopping, removing gloves, clicking the button, and restarting. Absolutely infuriating every time, and incredibly dangerous (even for car drivers, you are forcing them to interact with the phone whist driving, utterly insane)
