show public transportation routes
We're in a climate crisis and everybody should drive less when there are alternatives available.
Waze should help with that by suggesting Public Transportation or bicycle routes when selecting a destination, when those routes are viable alternatives (don't bother showing a 3h bus route for a 10 min drive).
This could be similar to Google Maps and use the same data.
Just by showing that there are alternatives, the user might be tempted to try them.
This might be specially useful when driving in cities that have car restrictions, dedicated bus lanes or good bicycle infrastructure that rivals congestion, where…9 votes -
Please add Siri Shortcuts support for hazard and police reporting in Waze on iOS
Please add Siri Shortcuts support for hazard and police reporting in Waze on iOS. This would allow users—especially those using CarPlay or driving hands-free—to report visual sightings safely and legally.
Apple Maps already supports this (“Hey Siri, report a speed check”), but Waze does not. Since Waze has the most active crowdsourcing community, this feature would significantly improve:
• Driver safety (hands-free hazard reporting)
• Community contribution (more real-time data from CarPlay users)
• Accessibility (voice input for users who can’t interact with the screen)Suggested implementation:
• Expose actions like “Report police (visible/hidden), crash, hazard” to Siri Shortcuts
•…13 votesGreat news! Siri is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out. You may also refer to this link to learn more about on how to use Siri shortcuts in Waze.

Speed limit indication on map
I would be nice to have the speed limit on the map.
3 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already displays a speedometer, including both your driving speed and the speed limit for the road you’re currently on.

Allow to add speed cameras directly in the map editor and/or change their type (speed/light)
Currently you cannot add a speed camera without reporting it on the spot with your app and then go approve it in the map editor.. This slows down the process if you are in the editor and see a camera is missing and don't want to drive there to add it.
Changing the type of existing ones could help correct mistakes when people report a wrong type of camera.7 votes -
night icon
The car icons are not very visible both on the day and the night maps. It would be helpfull if I would be able to select two icons: for day/night maps
Another work around would be a white silhouette around the icon, so that a blue icon will be more visible over a a blue route, and a red one will be visible on a traffixc jam.
A Zebra icon (like a British police car) can also be visible - yet less populare...1 vote -
I need to enter a school zone, so traffic will not be routed through the zone at certain times of day.
We have a 135 acre school with 25 academic buildings on a major road. We need to add the school zone to the maps, and also make it so WAZE users are not told to travel through the zone during high traffic times.

Reporting Map Issues suggestions
Reporting Map issues
Things to fix...
1. Allow more details when reporting a map issue, not just a button to report with no info. If there is a way to type in info, its not obvious or maybe we need an option to go back and add details before hitting report.
2. When sending an email to users asking for more info, tell them exactly how to do it, form letters or copy and paste are really easy.
3. Allow a way to reply directly to an email with the info
4. when following the link, dont just dump someone…5 votesAdminElla (Waze Team) (Admin, Waze) responded

Category Icons and Provider indicator in Search Autocomplete results
When we view Search autocomplete results, and even when we view "more" results
* Show category icons, so we can see the difference between a grocery store, a gas station, and a bus stop. This icon could be in the donut hole in the middle of the pin icon.
* Also indicate which are from Waze and which are from external providers (perhaps by putting a blue colored pin for Waze results and a gray colored pin for Google results, for exampleUse case:
If I search for "Giant Eagle Verona" in Pennsylvania, USA, the results include
* The Giant…9 votesHey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Currently Not Planned, since we finalized our plans for 2024 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
We hope to include it in our plans for later down the line.

Sale to Google
I really wish you hadn't sold to Google. I know it means lots of money for you but it means my privacy using your app is gone. And most likely, they will close you down and try to force me to Google maps but I won't use the app.
I know one person won't make a difference, but when the sale is completed I will stop using Waze.

I'd like to move the car icon out of the middle of the map in order to see more of the upcoming route and less of what's already passed
I'd like to move the car icon out of the middle of the map in order to see more of the upcoming route and less of what's already passed. Specially when using Navigation since it the ETA status window takes up a reasonable portion of the screen. For instance: if I'm driving southeast my car icon should be displayed in the upper left hand corner (when using True North mode) but the same applies when in the relative mode. Thanks

Fix please
How can I update maps? And why is Waze still leading me across dirt roads? Furthermore, the developers probably did not realize that the driver does not write while driving, but the co-driver, so the message "do not write while driving is quite annoying.

Android Auto
2022 Chevrolet Blazer with Android Auto is still having freezing issues that's forcing me to use other navigation software. Sygic, Google Maps & Here maps software work fine. I really don't want to abandon Waze because it's now the worst navigation software on Android Auto!

Love WAZE! But Samsung Level U earphones not connecting.
I have syncd Bluetooth & made sure app plays thru to phone speaker. Phone calls, Google maps, Music all work thru earphones but not Waze. I really prefer Waze over Google Maps since I am UBER/LYFT driver and don't want passengers to hear directions. Please HELP!

Remove "Missing Overpass" map error report category.
That vast majority (all but maybe 1 or 2, in all the time I have been editing) of reports for "Missing Overpass" have been for overpasses that exist on the map, but are invisible at highway speeds on the app. Because some users do not understand how speed-based zoom works, that assume these overpasses are missing, and report every one they drive under until someone responds to a UR explaining why they don't see them. This is causing a large amount of unnecessary UR's and subsequent follow-up. In the US anyway, it would seem we could do completely without this…

Zoom based on time til next turn
If my next turn isnt for half an hour, being zoomed in to the road doesn't give me any information I can't see out the window. If the next turn isnt for a while, zoom all the way out to top down view so you know where you are in your journey. As you get closer to your next turn, goto the regular view so you can see upcoming street names to help you prepare for the turn. Then when you're approaching the intersection, go to a top down zoomed in view (like google maps)
