Using streetview to show actual turns on screen
I would like to use streetview pictures at junctions and exits so waze can show the actual situation on screen and highlight the lanes that people need to be in to follow the designated route.
Arrows can be put as an overlay on the streetview picture to properly prepare people for what is coming.

Easier Navigation Means Safer Driving
When your getting close to your destination, the app normally lets you see which side it’s going to be on and a picture will show up (normally the picture is never there) but instead of all that I would really appreciate if the address popped up. It’s so frustrating when I’m in the middle of a delivery and have to back petal to find the address somewhere else because I’m also trying to navigate my surroundings and I can’t remember the house numbers. Just a thought for the future..

How about adding an icon that allows us to mark known speed traps in our area even if we are not driving by at a particular moment? It could
How about adding an icon that allows us to mark known speed traps in our area even if we are not driving by at a particular moment? It could be a picture of a radar gun. Also, don't allow a single user to remove a police icon. It's too easy for the police to click "not there" themselves on a dummy account and it disappears.

Apple CarPlay Update needed
I love that we finally have Apply CarPlay integration! The update does need some additional work in my opinion. The roads/street names/ icons all appear blurry on the CarPlay display. All of the notifications that pop up are clear/crisp. It just looks like the map isn't fully loaded and isnt giving a clear picture like the map on the phone does. Also - the icon (arrow or car) is massive compared to the rest of the map. It doesnt get smaller/bigger when zooming in or out. I think the icon should change size based on the size of the map…

Update to run on background on Sync 3
The iPhone and Samsung devices recently released will show signs of burns when a picture is on for a long period of time. In this case since the screen has to be on in order for the car to run app its very bad for phone screen and can also make device get really hot and may start fire inside vehicle . I drive for hours at a time and i have noticed the heating problem. Please update app to run in the background with screen off.

Remove pics of street signs during navigating.
Used to before this last update I saw the street typed out during directions. Now it is a picture of the street. For instance it used to type out FM 423. Now it shows the sign you’d see while driving and I can’t read the street number to turn on because it is microscopic in the picture. I do not use sounds or voice during my driving so I rely heavily on reading my directions! Get rid of the pictures!

The motorway sign next to the junction information on my 11" car screen is tiny.. The blue box with the mway number is really hard to read
Everything easy to read except the name of the road when displayed on a turn off direction. Eg m25 when you see the turn junction cue... I can send a picture if you tell me where to share it

Waze can put Road view into the GPS so that we could know which is the Exit in the Highway. I saw other such as Garmin and Papago did.
Waze could put road view like example if theres 2 exits, a picture of the roads could appear With an arrow to should which road so we wont miss out.

Option to hide "Select vehicle type" button
I stopped needing to use Waze for a while, so I'm not sure when it was added, but one of the "new" changes I noticed right away when using it recently, and that I absolutely hate, is the "Select vehicle type" button that is now ALWAYS visible. That makes no sense. I can't imagine many people are switching vehicle types on a regular basis, and it should be optional so those that are can have it there and those that have no need for it don't have it sitting there being distracting. And even people that do have a use…

Bring back "See yourself on the map" option
I actually really miss the "see yourself on the map" option. I used it as a profile card and a way to show my friends my status and my cute Waze avatar. Now, I've finally got the crown and I have no way to show it off. Maybe there could be a status badge or something with our profile picture, the waze avatar, and some stats. Or you could just bring back what you already had. Thanks!

Mute button should be clearer
I thought Waze was broken!: As it is, the mute button on the top left of the main Menu is a picture of a speaker with sound waves whereas the unumute button has a mute icon on it. This made me interpret it backward and made me think my sound didn't work.
Instead, the mute button could always have a mute icon (a speaker with a slash through it) but should stay depressed (and maybe highlighted?) when muted. Alternately, you could use an iPhone-style on/off slider.
5 votesNow sound button allows you to choose one of 3 sound options – sound off, alerts only, sound on.

Changing the color or background of the exits
Right corner had a background of orange and letters or numbers where is white.
It was super hard to see if its 3B or 38 because of the white color.
Id suggest to change it to black letters or something. And when you look at it from far its not easy to see!I got a picture to show it but I dont know how to upload the picture

Top right corner.
And in dark from far its super hard to read it.1 vote -
Bug RoundAbout exit during driving : A U-turn is always showing on the dashboard of the car
The dashboard of the car always shows an U-turn exit for all roundabout on android auto.
It will be good to replicate, like the application Google Maps does, the correct information seen on the map to the dashboard car.
Because actually for all roundabout, Waze shows on the dashboard a u-turn whereas the exit number and indication are correct on the map.
Suggestion to the forum : A picture to upload would help to explain more than a long explanation.

Gas prices - snapshot
Enable a user to add gas prices automatically by taking a picture of the prices and having Waze categorize them. Usually, prices for all grades and payment types are at each pump. This could involve artificial intelligence.

Camera accessibility improvement
When you click on the type of hazard you should be able to have a picture icon on the type of hazard and press on it and he nearly go to the camera instead of the two-step process of pick the type of hazard and then have to take a picture separately.
Four example if you click on pothole you have the option just to record the pothole or there's a camera icon next to the pothole tab and you click on the camera and it AUTOMATICALLY takes you to the camera or even better just snaps a pic right…1 voteThanks for your feedback.

Android auto direction on second screen
On the Honda Civic, the directions (i.e. a picture of a roundabout with the arrow coming out the right point) appears on the other screen behind the wheel. Google Maps correctly interfaces with this, but Waze displays every roundabout as a full U-turn, take the exit you entered on. Could this be fixed?
