Request Waze make a slight programing change to the on-screen alert display.
Put the "Still There" above the warning message with the "Not There" below it. I sometimes try to touch the correct response and my vehicle moves just a little and I end up touching the wrong response.

Make the top choice on the main 'Drive To' screen be your last chosen location.
Whether it's because I cancelled navigation or, much more likely, the server erred out when routing, I constantly need to choose the same location as the last one I chose. If it was three or four pages down on my 'Saved Locations' page this can be quite a hassle—and a bit dangerous—to do while driving.
I'd propose that when you press the 'Drive To' button the top choice on the list is whatever the last location chosen was until that destination is reached.

Better iPad interface.
The iPad interface is a bit cumbersome to use while driving. I find many of the buttons are too small. I have my iPad docked in a RAM mount next to the stick shift, so its right next to my shift hand.
Different screens appear in different sizes (like the event selection screen is cut in half when reporting a hazard or similar).
Also, display of speed and similar information in the lower right should be larger, much like the turn-by-turn directions in the lower left.
I would also appreciate any prompt buttons to be larger. If the buttons…11 votes -
After updating to 4.94.0.3 Waze is very difficult to navigate in Android Auto with a rotary knob (non-touch screen).
When using a car without a touch screen, it is extremely difficult to navigate the new interface. For example, the Cursor used to default to the "Pin" icon while in navigation. This was great because it allows you to quickly report Hazards and Police.
Now after the update, it defaults to the "Magnifying Glass" icon. This means you have to scroll past SEVEN, yes... 7, other icons to get the to "Pin" to report a hazard. I tried moving the cursor to the "Pin" Icon and leaving it there, but after a few seconds it defaults back to the…

Rest area icons and an Altimeter
I use Waze literally every time I get in my vehicle. For both local driving and road trips. It would be awesome to have an altimeter on the screen and to have it show rest areas on the map. Maybe in map editing if we could add rest areas and other places with restrooms to the maps that would be great and a major help for travelers.

Improve the Android Automotive version.
I would like the Waze version for Android Automotive to be as good as the mobile version, in addition to adding some options that are necessary while driving.
1-In the Android Automotive version, the radar alerts do not emit any sound, making it completely useless, as you won't be looking at the screen continuously while driving.
Moreover, the other alerts only emit a notification sound, and when it sounds, you have to look at the screen to know what danger is approaching, diverting your attention from the road.
All alerts should be like in the mobile version, with a voice…

Show map and directions immediately after entering a destination
An option to switch off the route summary after choosing a destination would be useful. This summary hijacks your screen and it is not always easy to hit OK while driving. This screen will pop up sometimes when a connection is lost and then restored

Fix Night mode
Samsung Note 3 on Verizon wireless. Android Ver 5.0. When in night mode with heading up, the screen flashes white during redraws which is incredibly distracting. Black would be much better.

Bottom Bar.
The bar at the bottom that has search and carpool need to have a button to turn it off. It is not needed while driving and when on my motorcycle and my phone is turned on its side the bar takes up over half my screen making it impossible to see the map.

Need the ability to turn off a nag screen about being subrogated to an audio app.
I like to listen to NPR's newsbrief in the background while driving.
Please allow the user to turn off the nag screen where Waze asks if you want to allow it to run at the top of NPR (and who knows what other apps pull this stunt). It's quite distracting when I have NPR on a one-touch launch button and I then have to keep my attention focused on the screen while I tell Waze to NOT link itself to NPR. An option needs to be added to disable this nagging because it is highly distracting and dangerous because this…

Change from Popups to small notification Banners
Popups are quite intrusive. For instance, while Waze is recalculating, which can take a while sometimes, I need to see the map to figure out the next turn quickly. There are many other examples of intrusive popups, i.e. Danger ahead, Speed camera ahead, etc.
Popups should be shown as banners. A banner should be a rectangle less than an inch tall and as wide as the screen, aligned to the top or bottom of the screen. So, the rest of the screen would not be hidden at all, but would be instead completely available and usable as always.

When in a car on Android, Waze posts some roues that were used in the past. Put a small search icon (question mark) on the screen.
In a car screen real estate is important. Driving is hands free and fiddling on the screen is dangerous. Waze brings up a search bubble or several destinations even when the driver is not using navigation. Please put a a small circle icon with a question mark in it (similar to the compass icon) in place of the search box. Navigation commands in a car is by voice only.

Quick Submission Links PLEASE!
I got to think 70%+ of what we report is 'car on side of road' or 'Police (Visible) on side of road'. How about quick submission links on home screen? I would think with just those two buttons the amount of submissions would go up huge! #EveryoneWins :)

Show small roads in rural areas
The Waze client, and also the "live map" on the web site, hides smaller roads as you zoom out. This is fine in cities where there are many roads. However, in rural areas, the small roads are simetimes the only roads, and if they are hidden then the map can appear completely blank.
I suggest changing to an algorithm that takes the amount of clutter into account. Something like "first disply the major highways; if the screen is not yet too cluttered then also display the minor highways; if the screen is not yet too cluttered then also display the…

police reports
Hi, I would like to make a suggestion for us waizers that will be very helpful. Perhaps you can add a choice to click on police report that is in the screen so that we just press on it instead of going to Reports then choosing police and then sending it. Please take in consideration that we are driving and most Likely can't stop and enter report and that by the time we enter the report we are ways further from the area we saw the police. I think everyone will benefit from this easy way to report and we…
