The recent update of WAZE is pretty slick, but I do have one concern. Moving the access to friends from the bottom right of the home screen
The recent update of WAZE is pretty slick, but I do have one concern. Moving the access to friends from the bottom right of the home screen and tucked away two frames over is not a great idea. Since the update, I can not see any of my friends online. Currently, If you want to see your friends online, you can access it through the search tab on the bottom left corner, then hit the forward arrow next to your name on top, then scroll down to the menu to find "My friends." For example if I want to send…

Option to always revert and lock 2D map to 'north up'.
When in auto-switching map mode, just browsing the map in 2D mode does not keep North pointing up on the map. It would be great to have an option to always keep the 2D map displayed with north pointing up.

I have a problem in the last couple of months. The time to the destination informatios has been hidden regularly from the screen.
I think the Time to the destination information is one of the most imporrant for the users. Would be great to keep it all time on the screen as it was in the past

show song playing while navigating using Android Auto
While using Waze on android Auto I would like to see what is currently playing, when using spotify or even on infotainment (Radio, XM, Ect.) There is a nice open spot at the top of the screen that could be used to display this info. I know that there is a quick popup when i change songs but would like the ability to display permanently.

CarPlay update
Waze is super useful in car over my cellphone (iPhone)
However, once plugged into my car with CarPlay, the experience is worst that ever. In fact, the CarPlay interface of the app does not support all functions offered in the mobile version such as :
1. Unable to signify a fixed radar photo
2. Unable to specify the police specification (visible, hide, opposite side)
3. Unable to launch a SOS and so on
In fact, the types of available notices is so small.In addition, you can’t find a gas station easily as in the app cause you don’t have…

Can I speed up or bypass the "go now" screen? So I don't have to push the button every time to get a quick response. Please advise.

Waze Icons "float"
When you do a lot of driving with Waze open, the icons end up "burning" into the screen because there is no movement. Waze should have the icons "float" a bit to prevent this from happening.

Bus lanes - when you are allowed to use them - or is there any bus lane watch out for
I would love to see bus lanes in Waze. I live in London, driving 50 or so miles a day and I think it would help to get from A to B faster.
In London majority of bus lanes are restricted for certain times.
for example 07 am to 10 am and any other times anyone can use it. Or different times, the point is that they are not always restricted.The way I see it, a small icon on the screen that resembles to something like a bus lane when the bus lane where you are is blue when…

Some Screen Elements Not Readable
put a background border around time and other info icons near top of display. These are difficult to see/read when driving in cities because street names are also white font and the time becomes obfuscated on the display.

Add the ability for users to refine the location of a report by moving the icon on the screen
Add the ability for users to refine the location of a report by dragging the icon to the accurate location. This feature can also be useful when combined with another feature of lane identification i.e when an object is on the road and subsequent users refine the location and also identify the lane.

Incorporate Junction Views, ie, pictures of ramps and turns to allow quick identification of which ramp/junction to turn
Have photos of junctions/ramps/turn offs pop out or have a split screen to view on coming turns at multiple junctions with arrows pointing to the route being navigated

Car Info Button
It's been over a year since you said "not now" so is a year (almost 2 years) long enough? "Car Info" button should be under the settings menu not on the main screen. Please allow us to remove the option while driving. How many people really change what they're driving that often to keep that on the main screen? It really should be under settings.

Create shortcut to go to location and alert user of journey (replicate Glympse functionality)
I have noticed that Waze now offers location sharing. I would like for it to completely replace my need for running Glympse in tandem. Ideally, if I could have a shortcut icon on my phone home screen that started navigation to "Home", and shared my location with my wife, this would be great. Many thanks.

Changing Destination on Phone While Connected to Android Auto
I want to change my destination on my phone while it's connected to my car through Android Auto, but I can’t type directly on the car screen. Currently, I have to unplug the cable to change the destination on my phone, and then plug it back in to reconnect to the car.

Spotify
Currently the Spotify panel is occupying almost 1/3 of the whole screen, obscuring the space much needed for map and navigation. I'd like to see simpler/shorter control, perhaos similar to the Spotify 4x1 widget on Android. Thanks

When in a car on Android, Waze posts some roues that were used in the past. Please put a small icon with a 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.

Allow us to create customizable single press shortcut button for hazard reporting etc.
Too many steps to press while driving to report hazard etc can be dangerous. Why not allow users to create a customizable single press shortcut button for reporting car on shoulder or object on road instead of multiple steps of pressing buttons to get to the final issue. ie. not needing to press Hazard and then having to search the type of hazard in the small phone screen while driving. A single shortcut would be much easier. The most commonly used report for me is car on shoulder so why not just allow me to create that single shortcut.
