Get rid of the Junk!!
Lyft driver here. Real simple!! Get rid of shit that blocks the screen! Photos? Do you think I'm a tourist? Send someone ETA? WTF this phone and this app are for my convenience not theirs!!! The pop up that asks "Oh is this where you are going?" NO SHIT!!! Why don't you then ask, with a pop up that blocks the screen, Are you sure? OR, BETTER YET!
How about every time I want some basic information like "I need to turn left in 20 feet " why don't you have the drivers answer…

Apple Maps continues to be mediocre, though it has improved. More and more cars come with CarPlay, thus Waze needs an app for our vehicle dash screens.

Control voice instructions via Android Auto
Please place a control on the Waze Android Auto screen to be able to at least mute/unmute the voice instructions. It would prevent from lots of dangerous situations as one wouldn't have to detach the phone from car USB and change the voice instruction level on the phone's screen.

Watch App/Motorcycle
Basic Navigation for watch, which would be especially useful on motorcycle. Screen only needs distance to turn and direction of turn. Haptic notice of upcoming turn would be nice as well, but not required. Do not need a map, do not need lots of information, should be a quick glance when safe to do so, if more information is needed, pull over and use the phone.
3 votesThank you for your suggestion! We are currently not planning on adding support for Watches or other wearable devices.
Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s blog and social pages on Facebook and Instagram. -
Make the upcoming lane turn arrows (at the top of the screen when driving) either larger or a clearer colour. Struggle to see them.
The arrows at the top of the screeen are a light grey and a not so visible white.
Larger or clearer arrows would help us older drivers.2 votes -

insufisant speed limit notification
Hello and Happy New Year to all.
It remains for me 2 major gaps for waze and one interesting improvement.
- The sound alert only when over speeding is insuffisant and already cost me 1pt on my licence when I accelerate to overtake. ..
You can not look at the screen constantly we must keep an eye on the road. Then configurable audible signal for danger zones is therefore indispensable.
- The speed is not displayed or set as she is known by the apk.For the improvement is to advertise only hazards on the road on which flows to…

Differentiate entry and exit sounds
Please differentiate the sound for entering a danger area and existing. In the current version the sounds are the same and it necessitates looking at the screen to see what's happening.
If the "entering" sound were a rising tone and exiting were a falling tone this distraction to look at the screen would be avoided.4 votes -
Android Auto Dashboard navigation information/Steering wheel control
Make Navigation information available in the Dashboard of the Car.
If I use google maps I have navigation information like "turn left in 400m" in the dashboard (next to the speedometer) and can use the main screen e.g. for music control or other apps.
Would be nice if Waze would also support the additional dashboard options.Also in google maps its possible to select the last locations in the dashboard with buttons on the steering wheel, but not in waze pleas add this also.

dark mode
Your latest update has messed around with dark mode and I’d like to highlight a potentially dangerous problem. Dark mode used to automatically activate however now it doesn’t leaving a bright white screen during night driving on Apple car play. This is extremely dangerous
The only way to prevent this is to open your phone and then open Waze which enables dark mode. Please fix asap

Event report icon should not open a menu when car is moving; menu would open after car stops. This would reduce risk of accidents
When driving, it is hard to make an event report, since we need about 3 clicks and reading information on screen.
I suggest that, when the car is moving, clicking the event report icon doesn't open a menu. Waze memorizes current position for later report details.
When the car stops, voice guidance would ask "do you want to report what happened back there?" - then the report menu would open.
This would help the driver to keep attention on the road.
If driver feels comfortable with filling reports while driving, this could be changed on settings screen. However,…

The use of HUB mobile navigator bracket is great for safe driving.
To the Waze creator/s,
It would be nice to have such a great navigator like Waze to install an invert screen of the map and data so we can use with HUB mobile navigation bracket. There are others who offer the invert screen to reflect the Hub but they are unreliable. Waze is the best and we users should have those features so we don't have to use any other navigator. Now I'm force to use Navmii but I really want Waze to guide me. :(
Is there any chance this will become a reality with Waze?Your faithful user,…

Incident pop ups
The pop up incidents are blocking the turn by turn making me miss exits on freeways. Can you move them to lower right side of screen so they don’t block the turn by turn on upper left side of screen? Plus they stay on screen WAY TOO LONG. It’s a bit distracting for the driver.

Popup for Ads while Navigating
Great work! I am really digging the revamped UI. I like this app because it actually makes my commutes fun. Waze has access to very rich data, which gives me complete context-awareness.
One thing that I would like to point out is the way in which ads have been implemented. It greys out my entire navigation screen with the top half portion being taken up by the ad itself. Don't you think this is a little dangerous? For visual people like myself who likes to have full view of the map to lead my way, this is very disruptive and…

spoken voice warning for hazards
SAFETY!
Every time there is a hazard reported you need to look on the screen to identify what it is.
Please add spoken voice warning so drivers do not need to take their eyes off the road when the warning comes in - sometimes the hazard is moving or flagged too late on the road and you could already "bump" into it...6 votes -
Old notifications won't go away
Old notifications wont go away after passing them. Newer notifications won't show because the old is still in the screen. Sometimes the same speed camera alert can be on the screen for miles.

2 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.

Integrate behind steering wheel Polestar 2
PLEASE WAZE, There are currently like over 60 000 Polestar 2 cars on the road. Polestar has made it possible to have waze application on the cars center display but when using Waze, the screen behind the steering wheel becomes dark. When using google maps on Polestar 2, we get both maps on center screen and the screen behind the steering wheel.
Polestar Support has reached out and said that Waze needs to integrate this. Please do , we have been waiting for more than e year for this.
