snowmobile crossing

Additional reporting options.
Two immediately spring to mind:
1. when reporting a weather hazard, it would be great to be able to report "sunstrike".
2. the only way to report a stopped car is as an object on the side of the road. The only hazards on the road are things like construction. I have had multiple occassions where I have come across a vehicle stopped on the road. These have not been an accident, rather they have been due to breakdown. An option in the "on road/in lane" category to advise of a stopped vehicle would be great.I love the app…

Please REMOVE the SPEEDOMETER and Show the posted SPEED LIMIT instead!
I usually type long long long posts, but the title of this speaks for itself. Just a couple more details below.....
Nokia had a GPS app called HERE Drive. It showed you what speed you were going and what the posted speed limit of the road was. Very handy.
The release of Windows 10 has caused the HERE Drive app to be deleted and replaced with Windows Maps. Some of it the same and some different, but everything good was taken away. Windows Maps is horrible, and many people are now looking to choose a new app for navigation.

Delay points until someone confirms police
I’m in Sydney Australia and have noticed lately that when wagers have marked police ahead, even if it’s only been marked 2 or 3 minutes beforehand there is no police to be seen. Instead of awarding points straight away, maybe points can be awarded when someone confirms the police are there and they get points based on people confirming police ahead. I’m finding lately that people are marking police and even cars on the side of the road just to up their waze points. I can’t see any reason why they are marking it when there is nothing there. Even…

Allow to rename "Home/Work" labels or at least give option to hide the "Home/Work" icons displayed on the maps
Allowing to rename the Home/Work labels or give the option to not show the Home/Work icons on the maps would be a really useful option to help wazers keep their personal information private. For example I often have work collegues and clients in my car and whenever I drive near my home it's clearly labeled on the map exactly where I live. I do not want everyone at work and clients knowing my home address.. Whenever I have to drive with collegues/clients in my car, I switch to using the iOS Maps app so no one will see my address,…

Support ODB bluetooth dongles
Allow the use of an ODB bluetooth dongle to get a number of improvements. These dongles are quite cheap and provide a wealth of extra data. Possible uses:
[ Better dead reckoning using vehicle speed ]
Using the actual vehicle speed combined with compass, accelerometer and map matching it should be possible to have accurate positioning in tunnels/urban canyons. TomTom does this and is able to do near-perfect positioning with only one GPS datapoint every 30 minutes.[ Monitor fuel usage ]
Things like planning a gas stop could be automated. When the tank gets below a certain…31 votes -
Show speed limit ahead (e.g. 300 meters ahead) for economic driving
In order to allow economic driving one should be informed that a changing speed limit will come up long enough to be able to save fuel and save the environment. When there is a hint that you have to lower speed like 300 meters in advance you can just stop pushing gas, so car will just sail.

Report map issues on CarPlay screen
When hitting report on the CarPlay screen, Map Issue isn't one of the options. If there is a map issue you cannot even do it from the phone since the display is different. You have to quickly unplug the phone from the car so Waze goes into normal phone mode, and do it from there. That is too much of a dangerous distraction messing around whit phone cables and the phone. Everything in the app should be easily accessible on the car play screen. For transcribing the map issue you can use voice to text, exactly how the iPhone works…

QR Car Adhesive
Hello! I'm from Brazil and I would like to suggest to Waze create a type of QR car adhesive in order to expand the relationship with those are stuck in the traffic. This adhesive could be the image of the users avatar's. The driver pick-up the QR code in the car nearby from him, take a pic and than, post it in waze. Waze get's the contact and let they talk. It could solve a problem of mine, cause every time I wonder somebody is near of me, just to get in touch, they disappear from my screen.
Thanks.2 votes -
Android auto - setting avoid highways
Intro.
Sometimes im in my motorbike and enable the setting "avoid highways". Then if I forget to disable it and drive my car with android auto:1.- I canno disable the setting from there, therefore, al the time navigation is wrong.
- shoul be nice a setting in AAuto.2.- Also Waze could be smart enough to understand that Im prefering driving using highways.. so at the third "redirection" could make a questio like "do you want to continue using highways?"

Please let us have the option to show ONLY the speed limit sign.
Please let us have the option to show ONLY the speed limit sign when using with an Android Auto car or stereo unit. Currently, it shows both or only the speedometer with the speed limit sign too small to see easily. When I first start up and I'm parked on a street that has a speed limit, the sign is nice and big. Once moving though, the speedometer shows up and the limit sign shrinks down to where it's hard to see.

Support for 10.25 android car screens
The app does not support the ultra wide screen. The bottom line of buttons are hugely covered due to not fitting on screen. There needs to be a smaller text option or a different layout. Can this be done?

Turns list collapses (broken UI) after reconnecting Car Play
When Car Play is connected, the screen on the iPhone shows the Turns list, it works well if I don't unplug my iPhone (I'm using wired Car Play). Once iPhone is unplugged and then replugged, there's a high chance to see a collapsed Turns list on the iPhone screen. The UI is totally broken, I have to relaunch Waze to fix it, sometimes it's impossible and dangerous while driving. The problem has been there for years, and it happens in all my cars no matter which brand the car is. I don't think your team has ever noticed it, so…
