Please make bigger the speed limit
The speed limit and current speed are so small on the screen you can’t really see it when glancing - needs to be a similar size as the one on Google maps abs Apple Maps and make it so it’s easily readable

Autofill for street names
Hello,
I've been using Waze for a couple of years now and have been missing a very simple option that would make using the App A LOT better. I'm talking about the option to suggest street names which you can autofill without having to type in the whole name of the street (just like in YouTube, where it suggests based in what you are typing, but clearly even more useful here).I do use Waze often and have to say i find it pretty frustrating and annoying when i have to type a street with 3 or 4 words in the name and that in my car, mostly when im in a hurry or driving..
I would really love it if you consider my suggestion.
Best regards

Average speed
When entering average speed segment a "ghost driver" could appear in the green bar. It would drive at speed limit and user could gauge if on average they are driving quicker or slower.

Cheapest route (including the cost for my time)
Sometimes I want to take the fastest route possible, but most times I want to take the cheapest route. By cheapest route, I mean one that includes a cost for my time as well as fuel, depreciation, and tolls.
I live in a part of Austin where the fastest route is often a highway that goes the long way around, but there is a slightly slower route that is direct. I'm willing to take 2 more minutes to drive if it saves 7 miles on my car. The US govt. puts the price of a mile on a car at $0.70 (US Dollars) and, as an economist, I think that's about right. 7 miles saves me about $4.90 and that's worth more than 2 minutes of my time.
You can advertise this as good for the climate too. I'd drive fewer miles.

On the car screen the Exit Route Button is on the right side, it should be on the left side to be closer to the driver.
Exit Route Button on in car screen is located on the right side, it should be on the left side to be closer to the driver.
Also the same for the button used to report things on the road.
The less time a driver looks away from the road the better, and looking and reaching farther away is never a good thing.

Keep Navigation Active After Arrival
I would like to suggest a feature that allows users to keep navigation active even after reaching the destination. In many situations, especially when it is difficult to find parking, drivers need to circle the surrounding area. When Waze automatically ends navigation upon arrival, it becomes harder to maintain orientation and understand nearby traffic conditions. Allowing navigation to remain active until the user chooses to stop it would provide better spatial awareness, improve safety, and offer a more flexible experience in real-world scenarios.

Let users change the colour of the arrow and route line
Blue is too hard to distinguish, especially in dark mode when driving at night. This would also help those that are colour blind.
I am aware that one can choose a different icon but I prefer the arrow style as it takes less time to figure out which direction I am facing.

add new alert
Hello,
I have two feature requests that would significantly improve the user experience:
1. Please add a notification when the GPS signal is lost.
In the current version, the app can lose GPS without warning, which causes confusion during navigation.
2. Please add the ability to select the starting point directly from the map.
This is very useful when planning a route from a different location or checking a route for someone else.Thank you for considering these improvements.
Best regards.

Do not dim navigation on opening audio. Make track skip buttons bigger. Allow nav controls to be adjustable on nav Screen
Allow users to customise their nav screen so they can position and size the features they need.
Most importly, just because I want my audio player open with bigger track skip buttons and current track listing DO NOT DIM THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE MAP SCREEN! I’m still navigating, why make it dark and hard to see because I want to see what I’m listening to?!
your UI choices make impede some useful functionality. Let users choose what nav information they need, where on the screen it is and how large it is. Maybe I need a larger speedo and bigger audio buttons. Maybe the eta and miles remaining is too big and I would prefer my audio controls at the bottom of my screen?

Waze should alert the user if traffic or an accident causes it to re-route you, rather than just doing it.
Alerting the user that a better route is available due to an accident or traffic, rather than just re-routing, would leave the user better informed. I eneded up in a 40 min traffic jam due to an accident because Waze tried to divert me off my usual route with no explanation. My old Garmins/TomToms used to do this.

Don’t close history while driving
Don’t close history while driving. You tell us not to type and drive but force us to by repeatedly closing the history menu while driving. I car scroll down to pick a location I was at recently, so I have to type it in again while driving.

enlarge the size of the speed display on android devices, and change the colours to improve contrast
I find the speed hard to read on my android when mounted to the handlebars on my bike. If the speed was larger, and with better contrast, especially the red on black, that would help a lot

Convoy
Convoy Feature
A set of features to allow a group of travellers to monitor/follow each other via the Waze App. Many holiday makers, but also clubs & professional organisations often need to travel together, and need to be able to track & monitor that the "convoy" members remain together, and is up to date on the latest location, destination, as & when things may change or issues may arise.
Up to 6 Wazers can enable "participation" (location sharing) with a "Leader" that would invite them to join a "convoy".
Each Wazer can then see/monitor the other vehicles & leader, and be sure to follow the same path/direction as the leader.
Within the MAP View the 5 other Wazers would be visible as small icons on the map( depending on zoom)
Each wazer would see the path/route to the "Leader" as default (top of the list), but could select any member of the "convoy" if needed (perhaps they are lost or have an issue) which would then display a path/route to that wazer.I could see this being used by casual users, clubs & prefessional organisations.

Voices preview and favorites
I've noticed a few things that could be improved: 1. why not preview the voice directions before we choose one.
2. instead of scrolling through the voices all the time why not have a favorite option to add which ones you like and change between them easier.2 votes -
Move the Incident Timeline to the Main Navigation Screen + Live Position Indicator
Place the full incident timeline directly on the main navigation screen and add a live vehicle marker showing the user’s exact position on the time-based route bar. This lets drivers instantly understand where they are within the timeline, what hazards are coming next, and how far they are from each report — all without leaving the main map.
