Allow placing a destination pin on the phone while connected to CarPlay
Hi Waze team,
I’m a long-time Wazer (5+ years), and I truly appreciate the app. However, I’d like to share some frustrating limitation:
It’s much harder and slower to move around the map and select a custom point on the car screen. On the phone, it takes seconds. Many times I don’t know the exact address — I just want to navigate to a specific point on the map (e.g. a parking spot or entrance nearby). But CarPlay disables this. I have to disconnect CarPlay, set the destination, and reconnect — very inconvenient.
Thanks for all the great work…

Voice commands when using Waze in Android Auto
Please update Waze so that I can use voice to report hazards. When using Waze on my phone, I can report hazards via Google assistant but it does not work when using Waze in Android auto. I have to look away from the road and touch screen 3 different time to report a hazard. Very dangerous

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

Modify Waze CarPlay
Waze in CarPlay does not correctly visualize the routes to choose them, it does not correctly show the distance, nor does it show the costs of tolls or highways, that information should be available on the CarPlay screen, since according to current laws you cannot take your cell phone while driving.

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 -
Show traffic as a bar on car screen as it appears on phone screen
Currently traffic bars for various routes appear on phone screen but not on the car screen when using Carplay. Summary traffic bars for various routes is too valuable to not have

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?

Allow users to choose to display routes on their Phone instead forcing on the Android Auto
Allow users to choose whether to use their phone as Waze for routes or Android Auto as the main display, instead of forcing it to display on Android Auto. Some people want to stream music using Android Auto and use their phones to see directions, as it doesn't distract them from the road. Some head units in cars are positioned lower from the direction of the road and are more of a hassle to look at while driving.

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)

Multiple vehicles
A quick way to toggle settings between two or more vehicles. When I drive my truck I use the expressways, I use alerts only, and diesel is preferred. When I ride my motorcycle I don't use expressways, I turn on navigation since my phone stays in my pocket, and premium gas is preferred. A way to save particular settings when toggling between private and motorcycle would be appreciated.

Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not right now, since we finalized our plans for 2023 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
We hope to have it included in our plans for later years and will keep you posted.

Danger Zone
Cameras are placed in known danger zones.
Usually the danger is within 100m either side of the camera.
Sometimes it is not allowed to plot cameras.
But a general warning - danger zone in 200m - would be useful.3 votes -
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.

Use accelerometer to detect and report on bumpy roads, and offer option to route around them
Use the device's accelerometer to detect bumpiness in the road the user is currently driving on. Send this data to Waze, then use collective data on road bumpiness to offer a routing option so that users can favor driving on smoother roads. Possibly also tie into the existing systems to report/show potholes or road hazards.

Make the Alert Button and Speed Display floating
English: Make the Alert Button and Speed Display floating, so the driver can position them on the screen in order to be more visible regardless of the position of the cell phone on the panel.
Portugues: Fazer o Botão de Alerta e o Mostrador de velocidade flutuantes, assim o motorista pode posiciona-los na tela de forma a ser mais visivel independente da posição do telefone celular no painel.

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

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.

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…

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…
