Always-Visible Destination in Android Auto Navigation
I’d like to suggest a feature improvement for Android Auto navigation. Currently, once a destination is selected, the system immediately switches to turn-by-turn directions, and the destination name or address is no longer visible on the screen. This becomes an issue when a wrong destination is accidentally selected, and it’s only realized partway through the drive.
It would be very helpful if the destination (name and/or address) could be displayed persistently somewhere on the screen—either at the top or bottom—throughout the navigation. This would allow drivers to quickly verify the destination without needing to tap or search through menus, which is unsafe while driving.
This small addition could significantly improve driving safety and user confidence.
Thank you for considering this.

Disable automatic Update Request route reporting on higher level roads.
Under certain circumstances, Waze seems to automatically submit automatic reports - but there seem to be too many of them (big time cost for editors that process and respond to URs following up for feedback, generally no response from the "reporter" because they didn't report anything themselves).
This specific request is to disable "Incorrect route", "Incorrect turn" or other similar problems on higher-level divided roads (Motorway, Major Highway, Minor Highway). When we have roadworks, the roads authority will often set up contraflow lanes on the opposing direction's roadway. This seems to produce numerous automated reports that have no value (because it isn't a routing problem, the work doesn't meet the criteria for a closure, and altering the map to show the segments being used as two-way temporarily would be inappropriate).

Toll limit
There needs to be an option to be able to specify which toll roads to use on a given route.
Oftentimes I'm going to a location where I only use portion of the paid highway as the second half of the journey is very expensive and I am able to divert.However, Waze always sends me the highway way as the fastest route, despite not being the most efficient or cost saving.
This could be easily overcome but being able so set a cap price on tolls OR being able to add highway roads to an exception list within the Avoid toll roads option.
Safe journeys!

Emergency Route Mode
"Emergency Route Mode" – a new Waze feature that instantly calculates the fastest route in urgent situations, bypassing all preferences (tolls, traffic, dirt roads, rural routes, highways, etc.). It builds user trust in real time, strengthens brand loyalty, and opens strong monetization channels via smart emergency ads, premium upgrades, and city partnerships.

Potential Mobile Speed Trap Location Alert
There are many locations where Police Camera vans stay. These are often the same location, and often around bends so its too late once they see you. You should add to the map, just like with speed cameras, potential mobile speed trap. This would allow everyone to be alert at all times, then if the vans are there, Wazers can further report Police just as usual. This would prevent speeding earlier on rather than when someone finally reports the presence of police. For example, this could be done by adding a new icon e.g. a van symbol, with an audio alert saying 'potential mobile speed trap location ahead'. Locations can be reported by Wazers which can then be added or by looking at available data such as Police Scotland's mobile van location maps. I believe this would greatly improve the experience for all Wazers!

Alternate routes options
possibility for drivers to share different routes.
For example.
I work in a high traffic jam / high accident area.
When I bring Waze up.
It only gives me an option for 3 direct routes.
Despite their being back road options or other possibilities.
I would love if there was an option for the driver to submit alternatives.
Or :
choose from other alternatives.3 votes -

Can Waze be kept on as a floating screen while running other apps?
Every time I open another app Waze just runs in the background. It would be much easier if You could keep the minimized floating screen up so you don’t have to tap that tiny blue button up in the corner, and so you can do other stuff while using the app. This is a feature on Google Maps.3 votes -

Add Timestamp to Police Reports
It would be helpful if police alerts showed how long ago they were reported (e.g. “Police reported 8 min ago”). This gives drivers better context on whether the report is still likely to be accurate.

Suggestions to Improve Navigation and Safety in Waze
I have a few suggestions to improve Waze: First, please keep the name of the destination visible while driving—sometimes it’s easy to accidentally choose the wrong location. Second, when a speed camera alert appears, it covers the current speed, making it hard to know if I'm speeding—please adjust the layout to keep the speed visible. Third, it would be helpful to have an audible alert when there’s a speed camera or police nearby, so drivers don’t need to keep looking at the screen.

Location of the Speed Limit and Speed on Android Auto
For Australian users, I would like to see the Speed Limit and Speedometer shown on the left of the map. This is because it is covered by our left hand when holding the steering wheel, because the driver sits on the right hand side of the vehicle. I cannot see either the speed limit or speedometer without moving my hand off the wheel.

Add Multiple Vehicle Profiles for Better ETA Accuracy
I use two cars, and one is much slower than the other. Waze always gives me inaccurate ETAs when I’m driving the slower one. It would be great to have an option to save multiple vehicles and select which one I’m using, so Waze can learn and adjust ETAs accordingly
