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 -
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?

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.

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…

linux client
i would like to have a Linux client build. i have built several custom laptops with Bluetooth connected GPS units and network via mobile hot-spots or connected cell cards and would much prefer to use Waze on them.

Create a waze GPS system apart from an app. Like Tom Tom and Garmin. Keep people off their phones.
Police, Swat, and ambulances use other devices apart from Waze because it is not on a phone and is installed in their vehicles. Allow the public to have a screen that is separate from the phone and it can benefit even the public safety protocols.

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

Add to Android auto the touch and hold option existing on the Waze phone app report icon
Add the existing touch and hold option to the report icon to Android auto. This option, which already exists on Waze phone app allow you to access two or three preset reports types. This is reducing the time you take your eyes out of the road and it will allow you to access faster two or three preset reports types. As you touch and hold the original report icon the preset icons are displayed instantly surrounding the original report icon and allowing you through a single touch to swiftly choose to report something important (potholes, police, hazards, etc)

Support for merging the Waze User account
Hi,
It would be very helpful to have a support possibility to merge Waze accounts. In my case I use Waze for 10 months and after a crash I had to reinstall it. I forget my previous account name and I had no rmail address assigned to it. I only knew my mobile phone number that was used for sending me the activation key.
I would also pay for tuos support and tuis would be up to 10€ worth for me.
Thank you

Currently playing music shown on map
I use my phone to listen to music while driving (through Bluetooth) a lot of the time and I also use the screen of my phone to see what song is playing, I just thought it would be a cool thing for the app to tell you what song is playing on your phone while having the map open. I have seen other apps do this so I know it is possible.

Customize your Waze map and route view when putting your phone on its side.
The arrow placement is not the best where I put my phone, and at third gear, I can't see where to go, and there is no way to customize the view.

Mobile Police Setting
When following, or being followed by a police car, I would like to enable a feature to show my actual GPS location for the next 10 minutes or until I disable. This will warn other drivers that they are approaching a police car and not zoom by me and get a ticket. There are a lot of unmarked police cars that I wind up following because I see the hidden lights or the government place before I pass them. I would like to help people avoid missing them while in traffic.

Simplify removing a destination from drive history
Sometimes you need to remove a place from drive history and search again before getting an updated pin for routing.
Per a thread in Discuss, sometimes you have to remove navigation history from your Privacy settings to get rid of all history of a place.
Removing a destination from drive history should remove it from the app completely in one step. You shouldn’t have to navigate through settings to Privacy then Recent locations to remove it.
"Drive suggestions logic is handled by a server, not by a mobile device. Once the server saved the location name (before changing it in…

Add a way to put Waze to sleep in Apple CarPlay
If I navigate with Waze in Apple CarPlay, it stays open on my phone and drains my battery unless I remember to go on my phone when I get out of my car and put Waze to sleep. Then the next time I get in my car, Waze starts up even if I don't use navigation and stays on on my phone when I get out of the car, again draining my phone battery. And if while in the car, I put Waze to sleep on my phone or quit the app, it immediately starts up again. This is a…
