Timeline and distance along route
Suggest to show timeline and distance along a planned route. This would facilitate break planning on longer travels.
Timelines would let you forecast where you might search for good places to eat or spend the night, depending on current traffic and suggested routes.
Distance indicators would let you forecast where you might need to refuel/charge, when your vehicle indicates range left.2 votes -
Ability to turn off "tool bars". ie. Carpool, My Waze, and Search bars
We need a way to turn off these tool bars if not being used.
They make this app mostly unusable, especially in landscape orientation, as they take up a large part of the screen.
I don't carpool, i dont need the search bar on when I'm driving. Same for My Waze.
Just a small button to access this would be fine.
Please make a way to turn these off.2 votesThanks for your suggestion. Search bar automatically hides after around 30 seconds driving without navigation.

Location of the Speed Limit and Speed on Android Auto
For Australian users, I would like to see the Speed Limit and Speedometer shown on the left of the map. This is because it is covered by our left hand when holding the steering wheel, because the driver sits on the right hand side of the vehicle. I cannot see either the speed limit or speedometer without moving my hand off the wheel.

Add EzPass 3+ Category
Exland the EzPass categories to add EzPass 3+ HOV. This is a large issue in the DC/MD/VA area and can cause large fines if the deiver just has a standard EzPass.

The target for the "Yes" and "No" buttons needs to be larger.
When you're asking me to confirm where I'm going on a navigation you have the Yes/No buttons far too close to the edge. And when you barely miss the Yes/No buttons it cancels the navigation entirely. I'm not going to be super accurate on my tap locations when I'm operating a vehicle. Make the buttons bigger and/or move them away from the edge of that popup. Otherwise I will get distracted even more when I have to start up the navigation again.

Waze PLEASE HELP. My Apple iOS Significant locations glitched and got erased. I need my location history for 08/18/2022 to exonerate me.
I was pulled over because a vehicle “matched my description” at a Shell Gas station that I was never at on 08/18/2022 (see Frazier V. Cupp or Supreme Court V. Cupp; LE can basically lie to try and incriminate you for evidence that never existed). Then when I tried to use significant locations to pull up where I was on that date it didn’t have the “summary records” anymore. I blew a 0.00 BAC and had ZERO contraband in my vehicle. I did not break any traffic laws either (i.e. swerving, speeding, etc.).

A Couple of ideas
I live in Maryland and would like to make a couple of suggestions. First, Maryland has a new law where you are supposed to pull over for any vehicles now, not just Police, Emergency and Tow trucks. Can you modify the program so it would display which side of the road the vehicle is on so I could possibly move over ahead of time. Secondly, can you add a simple button for vehicle on the left side of the road, on the right side and for a police car.. I don't like going through all of the buttons to…

One select to report
To report an issue whilst driving is dangerous and requires 2 presses and some looking at the screen. Why not let driver press the report button just once, at an incident and when vehicle is stopped a reminder comes up on the screen to complete the report. Waze has already logged its location and the driver can then report the issue as normal.

Since I drive alone frequently and use Waze almost exclusively, I would love to voice report any hazard, vehicle, or accident
I’d like to say “Waze report debris on right (or left) side of road.” As an example.

Pre programmed buttons on screen
Possibly have like 6 user programmable buttons for common alerts. Such as vehicle on shoulder ahead, Police ahead, crash on roadway ahead etc. I have not been able to get voice commands to work in my GMC 2014 Sierra Pickup or Iphone 13 Pro Max. One button much safer than having to hit 3 or 4 buttons to notify of alert.

I'd like to suggest that WAZE add a better navigation route for driver of RV's, 18 wheelers and Boxtrucks. So that larger size vehicles as such will be routed to areas that doesn't have low power lines and narrow bridges, etc. Thank you

Display of built-in navigation/map on the dashboard after navigation is finished
Hello.
I noticed that when I start navigating via Waze, the built-in navigation in the car on the dashboard displays the voice "mobile navigation is active",,. and does not display the built-in navigation. After the navigation via Waze ends, but this voice on the dashboard remains active and the built-in navigation in the car is not displayed. Only after restarting the vehicle and connecting. After navigating to the destination, Google Maps switches back to the built-in navigation mode on the dashboard and displays the map in the vehicle.
Thanks for the reply

Light commercial toll pricing.
Good morning, including toll pricing is a great bit of information. With the amount of families in Australia now owning dual cab utes, these are considered a “light commercial” vehicle and are tolled at a higher rate. Can Waze maps please have the option to select different toll categories so families are able to budget easier for trips or even road trip holidays.

Notification staying up too long and makes information unreadable in the new android auto vehicle display. Close button non functional
Either fix the response of the android auto screen controls so buttons don't require multiple touches or long press (literally 5 seconds at times, even in the report window, literally any button). Cut the time stuff sits on the screen, fix speed sensitive notifications duration, or add a setting to change how long notifications remain on the screen. Incredibly distracting when you have to touch a button 5 times or hold it until the system notices you.

When a user approaches a collision, they should be able to report which direction they had to shift to. i.e Alert to merge left
When sitting in a traffic jam due to accidents or construction, users should be able to report which way (lane) to shift to so other users behind them can prepare to merge sooner and ease some congestion. Similar to reporting a vehicle on shoulder.

Modern Map UI
Improve map detail by adopting Apple Maps and now Google Maps improved navigation detail. Ensures clarity of exactly vehicle positioning to road detail and route. Polish the UI to look clean and bring the map alive.
