Please make WAZE directions come over car speakers again.
My WAZE gave me perfect voice commands on my 2013 Cadillac XTS speakers via my Samsung S4. Now will not come over speakers. Frustrating and dangerous.

add actual pulloff areas on map
Along I-70 in Colorado, we have many areas that are paved pulloff areas that should be added to the map. To many people mark cars as being on the shoulder of the road when they are pulled completely off the road and in a designated pulloff area. This gives false warnings of vehicles on the shoulder of the road.

NYC Street Sweeper Tracking
NYC Street Sweepers are scheduled in 1.5 hour blocks. Drivers sit in their cars the whole time, constantly scanning to see if the sweeper has finally made it to their street. Then, it’s mayhem as every car scrambles to move out of the way & then back into a legal spot. Let’s make the process saner by tracking the sweepers in real time on Waze! Please add the ability to report street sweeper locations!!

Use Voice Commands to log Reports with Waze on CarPlay and Android Auto
While Waze allows users to use voice via their phones to log Reports, it does not support Voice to log Reports for users of Car Play and Android Auto. The fact that these users have to use the screen and potentially take their eyes off the road to navigate menus to log a report is quite dangerous. Please help vote this up, as more vehicles are now being equipped with Car Play and Android Auto. Thank you!

Move "OK" and "Not There" options further apart on Apple Car Play
When some sort of hazard is announced while using Apple Car Play, there is the option to choose "OK" (I think) and "Not There". These options are stacked right on top of each other. Please put some space between them. I have many times chosen the wrong one. Sometimes I also find myself looking at the screen trying to land my finger in the right spot instead of watching the road. Please do better testing on Apple Car Play.

Roll it back. The new version is unusable in Android Auto
Roll it back to last version
It no longer works correctly with Android Auto
Adding addresses by voice no longer works.
There are too many buttons now that used to be under 1 button that was way easier to get to rather than dialing through this mess.
Tha map is covered by big black text balloons that don't need to be so large.
It doesn't load correctly half the time.
I literally have to disconnect my phone from the car, enter my destination, start it, then hook it back up to the Android Auto.
Harder to report police or hazards. …53 votes -
Android Auto car position
The car (Alpine iLx)! represented on the screen shows on the bottom edge. I get you are trying to show as much as possible about the future, but I think it'd too low on the screen. Could you move it up half a representative car length?
Thank youDave

Do AWAY with cartoonish “rewards”
Do AWAY with the cartoonish rewards! This is a useful app and not a ridiculous game. Going 75mph down the highway and I “verify” a car on the side of the road and as soon as I do I come over a small rise and there’s a car in the left shoulder partially in the fast lane and the ridiculous cartoon rewards are still flashing so I can’t press the notification button to alert other drivers!! It’s either a game or a useful app, stop trying to make it both!!

CarPlay lagging issue suggestion
Humble tips for the Waze developers:
- if possible measure response times from the system. If they go out of bounds or no response, perhaps:
- reduce the amount (reduce framerate) of mapdisplay data
- reduce the number of calls per second
- or stop sending mapdisplay data to CarPlay.
- stop showing the map altogether and only show lane/direction arrows with exit names/numbers in these cars
- Perhaps there is a function in CarPlay to clear the buffer and resynchronize the display to current position;
- suggest that users should not use CarPlay in these cars for navigation.Hope…

הוספת חניה אוטומטית עם פנגו/סלו או האפליקציות המתחרות בתוך הרכב. כך ניתן יהיה
connecting a build in option so on pre-installed cars with WAZE, the car will automatic recognize the parking and pay using visa, or even alert for 20 seconds after shutting down the engine. so when the car is moving, the app will automatically stop paying for the parking. you will own the parking business

Reroute traffic from Penelope Avenue in Middle Village Queens
Avoid directing cars onto Penelope Avenue in Middle Village, Queens from Metropolitan Ave and Juniper Vally Blvd. The latter two streets are much better suited for high traffic volume, particularly during rush hour. When drivers are directed to Penelope by Waze, it creates backup as the street is not designed to accommodate the same amount of two way traffic, and has also increased traffic related incidents as a result.

Notify nearby drivers of safety alerts such as headlights
I notice cars driving in the dark with day time running lights on. Their cars don’t automatically turn on their headlights and taillights but do turn on their dash lights. It would be nice to send them an alert and even instructions (especially if they are in a rental) to turn on their lights. It must be scary for them to drive with basic no headlights and it’s scary for me to see people drive without taillights. There can be other safety alerts such as the gas door open/ cap hanging. This would be an opt in thing to help…

Share route and location with friends.
Give an option to share not only your route but also your location on that route with your friends. This would be a safety feature. In the event that you don't make it to your destination, your friend could see your location. This idea is inspired by the loss of a fellow student who was in a one vehicle accident on her way home to visit for the weekend. Her car ended up under a bridge and she was not found for three days. With a safety feature that allows sharing of your actual location as you follow your route…

Prioritize Full CarPlay Integration: HUD & Instrument Cluster Directions
Hello Waze Team,
This post is to strongly urge the prioritization of full integration with Apple CarPlay to enable turn-by-turn navigation on built-in Head-Up Displays (HUD) and digital instrument clusters.
This remains one of the most critical safety and convenience features missing from Waze, and it's a primary reason why many drivers reluctantly switch to Apple Maps when using CarPlay.
The Technical Framework Exists
We understand that enabling this feature is entirely possible within Apple's provided framework. The process is initiated by implementing the mapTemplateShouldProvideNavigationMetadata(_:) delegate method. By returning true from this function, Waze can signal to CarPlay that it…

keep directions on the screen
Using Waze is for directions of not knowing where to go so I think you need to go back to the small alerts on the screen instead of taking up the directions spot and having them disappear. It’s very frustrating trying to find your way through a city you’ve never driven in before when the directions keep disappearing to alert you that there’s a car on the side of the road.
32 votesGreat thinking! We’ll share with the team; they’re always interested in new feature ideas.

Report single lane stopped traffic on motorway
Sometimes there is a build-up of traffic in lane 1 of the motorway when approaching a junction, due to issues off of the motorway - causing cars to slam on their brakes and sometimes even causing accidents - while lanes 2 and 3 remain free-flowing.
Please allow a way of reporting single lane stopped traffic, or "exit-lane spillover" traffic (not sure how it should be worded).
