North = Up!
PLEASE, for the Love of God, give us a preference that will keep North pointing UP on the device! i practically can't use Waze (tho i REALLY want to) because it keep spinning around on me - drives me crazy - i grew up with paper maps & north was always "up" - having it spin to the direction i'm driving is driving me bonkers! :-)
aside from that, the app rocks!222 votesGreat thinking! The issue you raised has been addressed in a recent redesign. Hope you like it!

Need another set address besides just work and home

Snow removal equipment
I was in Maryland during the recent blizzard. I was able to make the return drive to Pittsburgh on Monday. The roads where clear, however road crews were doing snow removal on the shoulders, left and right. I found during my drive the crews were often on turns and had I had no warning to be able to change lanes for safe distance.
That's when I thought of a SNOW PLOW notification. It would include a left or right choice and on road or shoulder choice. Moving or stationary would be a choice too, but might be a bit much…

Autozoom depending from speed
I like to have an autozoom depending from my travel speed that shows me a big area when driving fast and a detailed area when driving slow e.g. in the city.

Add Soundcloud as one of the music player options to make a navigation voice and music pause a seamless driving experience
It would be nice if Soundcloud was added to the music player list. There's so many other options on there but that's only only one that's missing that commonly used. It would be nice if it was added so the music music can pause and resume or lower for navigation directions.

Simplify UI for lite users
I know this may seem like a facepalm moment for many users, but trust me, I have friends out there who have given me feedback that Waze is 'too complicated' and find Google Navigation far simpler. I see one option is the first screen could ask 'Would you like to "Enter a Destination" or "Just drive around"?' just to make the first impression simpler.
Other tweaks could also be made for our tech-not-so-savvy users. This could have a major impact on retaining users.

When showing „Routes”, to be able to select „best average-speed route”
When showing „Routes”, to be able to select „best average-speed route”, because many drivers prefer a longer but a more pleasant drive to a shorter but full of stops and traffic jams one. Driving faster is part of the pleasure of driving.
Especially in very busy areas, this option would be more than welcomed.
Driving is a pleasure per se, but not if you just stay in line, stuck in traffic jams.5 votes -
Allow planned drives to show up via Android Auto
Ever since an update came out earlies this spring, Waze has taken a giant step backwards. In the following updates they have remedied a few things (except the awful user interface via Android Auto)...and they still haven't added back key features when using Waze in the car with Android Auto...like PLANNED DRIVES. Duh!

Google assistant on Favorites
Sometimes when we are at a stoplight and we need to look up one of our saved favorites instead of scrolling for it can we have Google assistant so we could ask google assistant to quickly look up the favorite saved that we are searching for? Then google assistant can ask us if we want this favorite as a new drive or give us other options for that specific favorite saved.

Showing family members car on carplay while driving
For example we drive to another city with two or more cars, i can add their profile, then on my carplay screen i can see if they’re behind me ( in meters or kilometers) or infront of me, so i won’t be worried about them being lost in the way.

Police
Police alerts are helpful in many ways, the one thing that would help a bit more is if along with the alert there should be an indication of how much time has passed since the alert was posted. This feature is already available but only if you tap on an upcoming police alert icon in which you will see for example 10min ago on the top right corner, but it does not show in the alert that pops up as you drive....... Unless it is a construction site police are rarely in one spot for very long...... I feel…

When using Waze on Android Auto, after having disconnected the phone from the car, the current drive to the destination resumes but any stops previously set are dismissed.

Route info on widget
Currently the widget displays time to work or home and gives some indication of the traffic conditions. I wish it would show something about which route it chose for that info without having to click the Drive! button.

Police alerts should be added to voice alerts (in alert only mode)- this cost me a driving ticket!
In “alerts only” sound mode I do not get police notification, only Speedtrap (stationary traps) so dynamic user-generated police notifications are not notified- this cost me a speeding ticket -+ driving school last week!

Temporary traffic lights
Add an option to show temporary lights, option for roadworks is great but I think most people would like to know if there’s a set of temporary lights, these can add time onto busy work commutes and this can be taken into account when planning a drive. Waze is fantastic for everything else but this would take it too a new level above every other navigation app.
