Layout problem with iPhone 14Pro
Speed display is behind dynamic island in Apple iPhone 14Pro Mobile phone. It is quite annoying to guess if the speed is 61 or 81 when only last number is visible.

Reminder to Head Home
Hello, I've been browsing through suggestions, and I've yet to see this.
A reminder to head home, so that I always get home at the same time. I try to go to sleep at the same time every night but that can be difficult as it's not always easy to remember how far away you are and how long it will take you to get home.
For example, I want to get home at 9 pm every night. Since my location is always on, maybe Waze could keep track of where I'm at and calculate the time it would take…

Popup traffic messages when screen is black
I suggest a function, if Waze runs in background or the phone display is turned off black, Waze not just says, but shows with graphic popup window the road and traffic messages, alerts etc.
Then it if no action was made by the user, the popup automatically disappear in predefined seconds laterMany times for many reasons we do not want charge the phone, but the "screen always on" mode drains a battery a lot. (IPhone and Android)

Picture type of hazard with different icons on navigation map
Change reported hazard icon on navigation map to actually picture the type of hazard instead of the general yellow exclamation triangle for everything.
If I report animals on the side.of.the road, I would expect to see the animal head icon on the map. Not a yellow hazard icon. It's far more informative and stops drivers from having to click into the hazard, taking their hands off the wheel, to see what it actually is.

Safest route
In addition to quickest route, display safest route, incorporating factors like street lights at night, bad potholes, and animal crossing (e.g. deer crossing during dawn and dusk, when deer are out).

Mark something on waze and then save it to my account so it always displays for me.
I would like to be able to mark something on waze and then save it to my account so it always displays for me. Example, mark pothole on road and it will always display for me until I decide to remove it. After I mark it on the map, it eventually goes away after some time.

Pay users based on qty of valid pings to assist with building the business
What makes waze unique is the flexibility in posting different pings to provide drivers a heads up as they drive.
But to encourage a greater quantity of pings to ensure all areas of the nation is active on pings is to provide a financial incentive.
After achieving different certain milestones in activity similar to being verified, you have the ability to earn some income.

Inclination / Slope Indicator
Display of inclination (rise/slope) and lateral inclination of the vehicle, based on the sensors of the used cell phone. Both values should be switched on separately. If the cell phone does not provide these values, the options are grayed out.
This can be used to optimize fuel consumption or for off-road safety.
The display should be in quasi-analog form, e.g. as a rotating wheel or as a pointer on a fixed scale to get a feel for the rate of change.

Link address from other apps
Most functional Waze yet! Navigation seems spot on and not obtrusive like Google's offering. Main thing is Waze is really accurate! Google Maps loses its way and gets me lost! Like the fresh look of Waze. Loads really fast on Note 4 Marshmallow. Love the send ETA so people I choose can monitor my drive in real time!
Few wish list items and believe me, not trying to turn Waze into Google Maps! So just the essentials..
Could use lane assist.
Need to get links from Yelp, Google Now, and other websites to share the actual destination not unknown street…

Simplify Wazer and Editor workflow for residential places
The current method for a wazer to add their home to the map is confusing and creates more work for waze map editors. The workflow for a wazer is similar to this:
Wazer selects the yellow triangle (if it's displayed on their map)
Next selects "Place"
(now it is about to get really confusing)
Wazer must take a picture
The next screen says "Select Place" with a text field that says "Enter Place name".
For a residence, the wazer should not enter a place name. Just below the text field there is apparently a "button" that if tapped will…31 votes -

Make report button on Apple CarPlay larger
The option keeps getting smaller on my accords display but when I pull the app up on my phone it’s much larger. It would help making the report button larger especially when driving

mapless mode
how about a screen that just displays the speed and any nearby alerts (range user selectable) for when we're just driving and don't need the GPS? This could cut down on data (and battery) usage by not fetching maps, but still let us provide data back to the system.

Location based and on route reminders
Often when I'm going somewhere I need to remember to take something with me, eg, a hand-me-down for my nephews when I visit my sister. But I always forget! Can Waze allow us to add reminders to specific destinations and remind us to bring the items when we put that destination into Waze.
Even better would be if Waze reminded us to bring all items we can drop off on any route we enter. eg, I'm heading to my sisters so Waze reminds me to bring the hand-me-down as above but the app also reminds me to take the recycling…

Add "mileage countdown" for upcoming points of interest
Allow users to enter in a number of miles as a countdown timer.
For example, if you see a sign that says "next rest area 35 miles ahead", you could enter "35" into the mileage countdown. Then display this on the screen and count it down to zero.
This will allow users to see how many miles until their next point of interest.

Allow the ability to add and see friends on the map. This would be perfect for car cruises, since we are utilizing other apps to do this
I go on a lot of car cruises and we use other third-party apps in order to see our friends live on the map. These apps are very limited and don't offer the display of police speed traps like Waze does, so it would be perfect if we could see our friends on Waze to create a safer cruising experience

Alert in red light camera when only heading to one not away from it.
Only alert for red light camera if heading towards it. Do not alert when heading away from it just because it's in X meters because there is a round about ahead. Have it alert if you turn around on the round about and head to the camera. Getting an alert when heading away isn't useful at all.

Leave the overview map on the screen until I change it.
In Google Maps, when I get to the Overview Screen, it stays on the screen and slowly zooms in until I get to my destination. In Waze, the Overview Screen only stays for a few seconds, then reverts to the basic navigation screen. Please make Waze more like Maps and let me keep the Overview Screen on the display until I change it!
