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.

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.

Parking spaces available in car parks in real time
Several cities around the world have a real-time feed of available spaces in their parking lots.
It would be really relevant to be able to have it in Waze so that we can be guided directly to the city center or bus/tram hub. Currently Waze allows you to get around perfectly, but concretely, once you arrive in town, it does not help you to park, so the purpose is not achieved in a certain way. It’s also a matter of sustainability. Waze should help for less time and gaz wasted.

Warning window not strategically placed
Currently, the warning window (police, hazard, etc.) pop-up on the top right corner of the screen. It takes quite a big portion of the screen, blocking the ahead map. For example, when it pops-up near a complex intersection, I can't see which right turn to take because it's blocked by the (less important) warning window.
I think this is very important issue to be addressed. The warning window can be placed on the bottom left or right in form of a thin rectangle, even transparent one would suffice.

In the navigation screen, a button to make api calls to Shazam would be nice.
When I am driving and using Waze, it would be extremely useful to have the easy ability to shazam a song that may be playing on the radio. Having an API call/relationship with Shazam would mean you don't need to reinvent the wheel, and my id'd songs would remain with the same app I always use to id songs.

Waze Application Shut Down Conflict
On an iPhone -- there is a scroll up feature on the screen which allows access to several APPLE setting conditions. On the WAZE application, the SHUT-DOWN or TURN-OFF feature is near the proximity of the Apple SWIPE UP (screen) location. The CLOSE swipe should be located away from the Apple Swipe area.

Navigation panel size
Can you reduce the size of the black navigation panel in Waze? It takes over a quarter of the screen currently which is a lil excessive imo.

Alert Not Disappearing
When an alert pops up it will not disappear like it used to. I need to be able to see the map and sometimes I don't have availability to say whether something is there or not. Please fix this error and make the alerts disappear again after a short period of time so they're not blocking half your screen for the remainder of the drive.

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.

alerts without scrolling
The alert system is great, but when you're driving it would be easier to see all buttons on the same screen, with no need for scrolling. When you need to scroll the list to see all icons it makes you lose attention to the road.
Would it be too difficult to add all kind of alerts on the same window?6 votes -
quick Location marker button
Please add the option that with a click of one button or one touch of the screen that would mark the exact location of the incident or notification to be made. This would greatly improve the accuracy of the reports being made. From experience, reports are made a good distance away from the incident depending on how fast driving, how safe it is to make the report at the time, or how fast one comes up on the item to report.

Place a Home or return arrow icon on each page so it’s possible to go to the previous page you were looking at or go back to the Home Screen in the event you want to change route or some thing else

Please fix the CarPlay issues,
Please fix the CarPlay issues. Directional information covers the speed limit, move the speed limit to the top left? Speed camera notifications cover too much screen, make these transparent? Show the average speed camera distance like on the mobile version of the app. After turning a corner the map takes too long to realise you’ve turned meaning you scan easily miss your next turn if it’s close after.

off-screen RTC reporting in app
i'd like to have the ability to add an RTC from the app when i'm not centered on my current location.
for instance, i can often see a closure on a road that's not part of my route and i'd like to be able to mark it as closed but maybe once i've reached a safe stopping point. For instance if i'm on my way to work and pass a side street with a closure i'd like to mark it once i get there, but as soon as i've passed it the option is gone because the report pin disappears…

POLICE STATION button right on the opening screen, just like the yellow triangle report button.
I was involved in a very dangerous road rage incident. Just as you can quickly hit the yellow triangle to report "what do you see", you NEED to be able to press a POLICE STATION button just as fast on the main screen. That way you can drive to the nearest police station ASAP. It would be a great help as I needed my eyes to be on the road and focused on the car that was trying its best to bash into my car with my family in it. He chased us for miles trying to run us…

4.70.1.0 for Android - disable automatic "recent locations" tab
Why would you even bother adding such a thing? I don't need it. I know where to go for recent locations. I don't want to see it pop up every time I start waze.
Keep up these "improvements" and I'll be switching apps. Stop dumbing down the UI. Quit piling more and more crap on the main screen. There is no point. I want a map. I want traffic (audible) alerts. When using a destination, I want audible turn-by-turn directions. THAT'S ALL.
And TURN OFF THAT DAMNED CHIRP. Or, give me a toggle where I can turn it off.…

Too many road hazards, categorize Major vs minor, enable the turning off minor road hazard notifications, they clutter the display
Unclutter Nav map, road hazards are way too plentiful. Make two different categories of road hazards major and minor. Give the ability to turn off minor road hazards on your display. When the screen is cluttered with 20 minor road hazards, you don't even look at them.
