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?

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.

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

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.
266 votesHey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not right now, since we finalized our plans for 2023 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
We hope to have it included in our plans for later years and will keep you posted.

Modify Waze CarPlay
Waze in CarPlay does not correctly visualize the routes to choose them, it does not correctly show the distance, nor does it show the costs of tolls or highways, that information should be available on the CarPlay screen, since according to current laws you cannot take your cell phone while driving.

Add more option then just police
We have the option to alert police are in a certain place, which people put when there are speed cameras. I think there should be a camera alert for speed cameras and the police alert be used for RBT set ups, when highway patrol are out with speed guns etc.

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…

Auto exit sleep mode when connected to CarPlay
When I connect my iPhone to CarPlay, often Waze is unresponsive because it went into sleep mode automatically when I previously disconnected. I have to stop my car, pick-up my phone, launch Waze and disable sleep mode before it starts to work again through CarPlay.
Please can you update Waze to automatically exit sleep mode as soon as the phone is connected to CarPlay?

integrate into Android Auto?
Good day guys. Just a quick one. Please can you guys have a look to integrate this awesome app into Android Auto? This is new technology that many car makers are starting to use and they only make use off Google maps. This app displays your mobile navigation on the vehicle's multimedia head unit. Waze is my navigation off choice and it would be a big plus for me and many others. Thank you. Regards. Izak (Dok69)

As you may know, Waze is already supported on Android Auto. Stay tuned for more feature updates on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram -
Make the Alert Button and Speed Display floating
English: Make the Alert Button and Speed Display floating, so the driver can position them on the screen in order to be more visible regardless of the position of the cell phone on the panel.
Portugues: Fazer o Botão de Alerta e o Mostrador de velocidade flutuantes, assim o motorista pode posiciona-los na tela de forma a ser mais visivel independente da posição do telefone celular no painel.

Set voice command language equal to Waze interface language
Currently, Waze expects voice commands in the language of the country that I am in. It disregards that the phone language. (English in my case, therefore, waze interface is also in English). I am, however, in Portugal. Therefore Waze voice commands are expected in Portuguese.
Consider the new implementation on no roaming fees in Europe. When I drive to Spain, I am expected to speak Spanish. When I go to Croatia, I am expected to speak Croatian.
Solve this by setting the voice language to the language of the phone (or waze). Otherwise Waze voice commands are useless.

allow navigation voice to interrupt call
some people want this disabled, but i rely on navigation instructions in unknown areas.
i prefer waze voice amidst my phone call rather than fly by my exit while someone jabbers on my Bluetooth speakerphone
make it a toggle option to please both camps
and xmpp text those in my non "social" media friends (i have real friends)
allow audio blurbs to interrupt also (jingle)
47 votesThank you for your suggestion. This option is available under Settings > Voice & sound > Mute during calls.

Go back to the old format for alerts. Color & Location
Blue for police, orange for hazards. It's more eye-catching. Having the alerts near the bottom really doesn't catch the eye. Before the change was made I didn't even have to glance at my phone I could see the colors and icon through my peripheral vision

Registration plate recognition and automatic tagging of police vehicles
Due to the proliferation of unmarked police cars and unmarked mobile speed cameras (parked cars) with no warning signs, it is now necessary to take it one step further and use the video feed from dash cams (both front and rear) and character recognition to automatically tag a police vehicle by its registration plate (after that registration plate has been manually tagged). If a user is travelling with that vehicle, the vehicle's location would be updated live. Once that user breaks away from the police vehicle, the location would then be picked up and updated live by other Waze…

Use accelerometer to detect and report on bumpy roads, and offer option to route around them
Use the device's accelerometer to detect bumpiness in the road the user is currently driving on. Send this data to Waze, then use collective data on road bumpiness to offer a routing option so that users can favor driving on smoother roads. Possibly also tie into the existing systems to report/show potholes or road hazards.
