Plan waypoints on the Livemap
It would be very helpful to plan a route with several waypoints on the Livemap and once planned, send it to the phone App.
14 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

weather
Instead of integrate the weather forecast from any channel, I suggest Waze to develop a function to allow wazers to report the current area's weather by clicking a raining icon like we do to report "red light camera", "crush", etc. And a confirmation for others to respond "Still Raining" or "No Rain".
Please consider.
Thank you.6 votes -

BT, Waze audio message presilence and setting (secs)
Please add presilence and related paremeter (in seconds) in settings for Waze audio messages.
Beggining of Waze audio message is cut (around 2-3 seconds) if phone is not connected all the time to car bluetooth system and connects only during the message. For exampe I am listening car stereo system and waze connectes to car audio system BT only in case of message. This issue can be resolved by adding presilence to waze audio message and adding parameter in settings for the length of presilence (2-3 seconds should be enough).
Currently as workaround I am using Xposed framework on rooted…6 votes -
Matt Berry Voice Navigation
Matt Berry Voice Navigation
Esteemed actor, musician, performer, and artist, Matt Berry, would make a stupendous addition to the Waze program and community. With a confident, sultry, and seductive presence, Matt Berry would guide thousands of drivers to their destinations in the comfort of his soothing, tenor voice.
We, the people, recognize that Matt Berry is busy with his numerous endeavors and that Waze has countless features they strive to add to an already vigorous navigation system. It is with this in mind that we humbly suggest a few lines pulled from his revered catalog of work along with new…

Causes phone to heat up when Waze in background minumized
Just wanted to provide some feedback to you: My Pixel 6 would feel very warm/hot when Waze has been" minimized" into the background but not fully closed out.
Feels like Waze is working overtime to stay alive or relevant within the Android system even though it is not the primary active application in use.
: Before this was never a problem with temperature on the phone. But recently it has become alarmingly warm when above activity is performed.
Thank you and hope this can be remedied from one side (Waze) or the other (Android's).

Sharing phone accelerometer data as an early warning to slow
Imagine being able to see around corners to know that someone has just braked really hard up ahead
or swerved lanes? Waze could collect acceleration data and use it as an early warning to cars behind.The DriveScore app uses the same phone accelerometer data to provide personal driving style feedback to the owner. But wouldn't it be so much better to share it with the cars nearby?
As an example, if every driver in lane 3 of a motorway is slowing, changing lanes then speeding up again at the same static location, there will likely be a common cause…

Add setting option to keep navigation on phone when using Android Auto.
I keep my phone by the steering wheel so my eyes do not leave the road. Android Auto is for my passengers. I don't look at it while driving! Many people are like me. I even downgraded my Waze to get past this issue. But the downgrade no longer works! So I have to disable Android Auto to safely use Waze!!!!!

Use Waze app when connected to Android Auto
While connected to android auto you cannot use Waze on your phone, would be good to have the function of inputting addresses and cancelling routes, issue is to input anything from a phone you have to switch off Bluetooth or the car :(
Unfortunately using android auto in your car can be very tedious rather than simply doing it from your phone.

Update the car play / android auto app of Waze
Waze should be updated for car play user and android auto. We do not have full functionalities like the iOS or android mobile app. For example we can only report police, not hides ones or in the opposite side. Same for errors in the map, we can’t add a commentary if we use car play for example. All iOS and android fonctionnalités should be added to car play and android auto to have a 100% good,experience.

Use special tiles for not downloaded areas
Let the waze client use a special tile for not downloaded areas. When on a slow connection you sometimes realise there's no road where you are, so you enable construction mode just to realise a minute later that the roads in the area just weren't finished downloading to your phone yet.

On wp8 please make the text of the current speed a little bigger.
You can do this by removing the km/u text and/or increasing the circle.
Because I use navigation a lot, I'm used to look at my phone for the current speed in stead of my dashboard.
8 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may already know, Waze is no longer supported on any Windows Phone device and is not planned to be supported in the near future.

Allow reporting of New Incidents while an Alert is active (Android Auto)
When using Waze on Android Auto, if an active alert (e.g., speed camera, crash, lane closure) is currently displayed on the screen, the button to report a new incident becomes inaccessible or disappears.
To submit a new report, the driver is currently forced to first accept or close the existing alert. This is highly impractical and potentially unsafe while driving.This limitation prevents users from easily reporting multiple, co-located events (like a lane closure and a crash) in densely populated areas where multiple things often happen near each other.
I suggest that the Report Button should remain visible and…

speedometer
Speedometer can be pinned to my phones entire display (during carplay). That way it’s easier to read at a glance. Perhaps what displays on your phone screen when connected to carplay could be fully customisable?

Option to close waze without confirming or double tapping screen
I use waze on every drive, due to this my phone is always logged in when driving (use a pin to access). While sitting in traffic one evening 2 robbers forced my window down, unlocked my car, opened the door and grabbed my phone. I would appreciate if an option could be added to close waze without confirming or by double tapping the screen in order for a phone to lock itself asap so that it can't be used or accessed. This would be much easier to do in a state of panic than to press the power/lock button…

iPhone4G - landscape mode not correct at time zero
more of a bug really.
If Waze is running before I rotate the phone then the switch to landscape mode works. If I launch Waze after rotating the phone (like I do when I snap the phone into my car mount before starting Waze) then the display is stuck sideways.3 votes -
Make Waze AUTO sleep after 5 sec when Power is UNpluged while in the App
Make a setting to make Waze AUTO sleep after 5 sec(or X sec, normal Waze countdown style Ok/Cancel box) when Power is UNpluged while in the app. This could be further improved with a "only within 5 mins of reaching a destination" setting.
I think everyone that have Waze in the car has the phone on acc power and it would be so nice not to have to remember to Sleep Waze EVERY time I get to my destination.
31 votesGreat thinking! We’ll share with the team; they’re always interested in new feature ideas.

Suggestions to Improve Navigation and Safety in Waze
I have a few suggestions to improve Waze: First, please keep the name of the destination visible while driving—sometimes it’s easy to accidentally choose the wrong location. Second, when a speed camera alert appears, it covers the current speed, making it hard to know if I'm speeding—please adjust the layout to keep the speed visible. Third, it would be helpful to have an audible alert when there’s a speed camera or police nearby, so drivers don’t need to keep looking at the screen.
