Have Android auto function like apple car play
When you connect to apple car play you can see the upcoming turns on the phone. When Android auto is connected Waze doesn't let you see anything on the phone and says to do everything on the car display. This is frustrating because there's no way to see past the next upcoming turn for android auto.

Virtual cockpit and android auto - improved turn by turn signs and sugestions in VC
When using Virtual Cockpit in VW group cars I can have waze or google maps turn by turn indications displayed in the middle of the virtual cockpit screen, only the next turn. Google maps shows indications correctly for roundabouts, u turns or straight left/right but waze indications in the center screen are all messed up, although the notification on phone and the next turn on the central screen with android auto is displayed corectly

Map editor stability needs checking
Editing a street or intersection on a PC is OK but after saving the edit, if you zoom out, the map does not display properly and roads vanish.
1 voteThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

car icon at bottom of screen when north up map is selected no good.
For North up map preference, your car icon should be centered on the screen not at the bottom of the screen otherwise you cannot see your path when you are heading south as it quickly runs off the bottom of the screen

Suggestion: Can we get an auto-reroute or a stalled traffic ahead alert?
Couple of years ago I was headed home from a 6 hr trip with a 98 yr old man riding shotgun. I was less than 20 miles from home and ran up on a traffic jam on the interstate that added another 3 hrs to my trip.......an auto-reroute would have helped a lot

Improvement needed
I was checking out waze and I was really impressed... I felt like the waze experience was incomplete without a proper feedback. Hence I decided to give you guys a few suggestions on it: 1) Pls include downloading of maps of a certain area or preferably offline caching of Entire maps. 2) I noticed that initially the direction of the heading was wrong 4 out of 5 times, thus why not included an optional magnetic correction as it will definitely remove this error.

Toggle current road to current town
There are many times as I drive through different states, that I want to know what town I’m currently in. Copilot, another GPS program, allows you to tap on the arrow (your location) and the display would toggle between current road and current town. This is especially useful when notifying a friend your location, or looking for a hotel/food.
Thanks!2 votes -
Remove parking lots from view while driving
Parking lots should be revamped as place points as opposed to area places to reduce visual clutter on the map while driving. Or perhaps a "show parking lots in app view" toggle to give drivers the option to see them. It could be enabled by default.
Larger parking lots in front of big-box retail stores like Target or Walmart should be obvious and not displayed. You can't miss them, they are often the only place to park.

Android Auto Points Integration
Allow for the collection of points from driving and reports made while using Android Auto. My account shows -1 points even though I drive with Waze on my Android Auto head unit daily and make plenty of reports. I even get the weekly summary of my reports but never get any points from these reports.

Block the police icon
It is recommended not to allow users to display police icons, as this will facilitate police reporting and law enforcement. If criminals see the police icon, they will take a detour.

iPhone
Waze could display the speed limit of the road we are driving, and warn the speed limit of the speed controllers we are passing.
Others devices have this improvement.1 vote -
It would be nice to have a way to force the voice navigation to speak the current location and/or the next turn at any arbitrary point.
That way, if you're on a long road with no turns for a while you can get a reminder of how far to the next turn and what it is. Might also be nice if it could somehow tell you where you are at the moment, e.g., "Heading north on I-495 in Westford"

Wazec recent trips on Android Auto
When I start my car and android auto can't on, Waze will display my most recent trips which doesn't make sense. Except for my home, work offices and other locations I want saved, how often do anyone have to drive to the same locations after each trip? Please put back and pop up the saved list whenever android auto is started.

Filter all reporting except police and road hazards
WAZE constantly audio alerts when riding down Lobethal Rd (Adelaide, South Australia):
www.google.com.au/maps/@-34.9413414,138.768338,696m/data=!3m1!1e3
I am not sure why it is alerting. Quick visual glances of the WAZE display reveals nothing. The constant alerting makes the audio warning feature useless as it becomes oblivious. It would be good to filter out all alerts except police and road hazards.

Notifications for Roads with Variable Speed Limits
Lots of UK motorways have variable speed limits. Obviously these change a lot so there’s no way we can have a live map of them, but as you go on to a road with a variable speed limit it would be nice to get a notification saying something like “Entering Variable Speed Limit Area. The legal speed limit may be different to the limit shown in Waze.” Another useful notification could be on the approach to traffic or around reported broken down cars, a notification asking the lines of “Hazard/Traffic reported on the road ahead, pay attention to Variable Speed…

Points of interest

Hide ‘Where To’ in Map View
When you have the map displayed in portrait mode the ‘Where To’ pop up box commands a large part of the screen. I often use the map just to display current and surrounding area not in route navigation mode.

prioritize environmentally friendly route proposals (with user-value)
nowadays, it is no longer appropriate to always display the fastest route as the default.
just today waze wanted to send me from a 25.2 km route to a 49.9 km route because it was 5 minutes faster. I think 14% time savings for a 58% longer and thus a more material- and environment-harming route, not appropriate!
in addition, vehicles consume less fuel when they drive slower (39 vs 70 km/h average in my example)There should be a user-value in the options with defines the accepted time-distance-tradeoff. In my case a value of about 3 km/min would be accepted:…
