1. use Iphone screen to display speedometer/speed limit when in carpay mode

   When in apple carplay mode, use the iphone screen to display the speedometer/speedlimit in full screen. Pehaps as a third tab next to the directions, notifications tab. With the phone in a cradle close to the steering wheel this avoids having to glance to the far right of the main car screen to see the actual speed limit.

2. Please give the ability to turn off the "carpool" button

   The carpool button is the bane of my Waze existence. Whenever I pick up my phone from the little pocket area in the car and Waze is running, it triggers this "carpool" button. Then it takes both hands to swipe from the far left side of the screen to make it go away. I won't ever use the carpool function and would love to be able to hide it and stop this from happening. I know it sounds trivial, but it's maddening to deal with.

   Thanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

3. 3 differents driver profil

   Today, the user profile is not taking into account by the algorithm. I hope in the future Waze will propose, not only the fatest road, but the road adapted to the user.
   We will use for example 3 different profiles :
   - the busy driver : this will always proposes the fastest road but it will add more weights to highway where overtaking car is possible
   - the thrifty driver : always proposing the road with the cheapest path (combination of distance, height difference, ...)
   - the tourist driver: this will propose road with points of interest (monuments, landscape).

   I imagine two ways of integrate those profiles : 1) creating the account; 2) with a specific icon at each search

5. Vehicle selection box

   It takes a lot until the vehicle selection button became available for the user once you launch the app. In my case, I decide daily when to use my motorcycle or car and it's annoying to wait the pop ups notification to disappear until the vehicle selection button is ready

6. Tunnel Navigation bluetooth OBDII

   Typically GPS signal is lost in long tunnels. Why not include a waze connection to a bluetooth enabled OBDII device in your car to give accurate speed. The direction is immaterial as the tunnel path is well known.The devices are cheap about $5 to $20 on ebay. Waze would benefit by knowing speed through tunnels. Yes, beacons are good, but not if they are sparsely placed.

7. Circulation restriction warning

   I suggest you to add a warning reminding the drivers the restriction day for their cars. It would work as the "child warning", the driver would inform the system the day he/she cannot circulate with the car and in that day, the system would remind the driver while using waze on the specified day.

   Thank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already takes license plate restrictions into account, in many parts of the world. To enable this feature, add your license plate details under Settings > Car details > License plate.

8. Preimptive Traffic Notification - Please read it is not just what it seems by headline.

   Preemptive traffic notifications! Sounds Alarm, chirp, chime, text w.e. the user selects when normal route would be jammed BEFORE leaving their home/spot. You have the info and capability to recognize patterns in people’s lives. If they leave at 7:30 to get on a bus, subway, truckers cranking up, no matter who it is, Waze could see that their normal route is delayed 2 hours and let them know BEFORE they have left. Think of the possibilists. People with flexible schedules, Truckers, Subway goers… Repeating but flexible route drivers (delivery etc.)… lots of people benefit so much! Even me, because I do not prefer leaving then finding out traffic is bad. IT COULD ALSO let the person know if they have already left, which is important because some people literally get in their car and start Waze just to see if traffic is bad! Let them not have to spend those moments doing that (stress free :) ) . . . If you already do...sorry. Ignore this :( I just thought of it sitting here and typed it in.

10. More Space Between “Thanks” & “Not There”

    As I pass an alert, CarPlay screen asks me to choose either “Thanks” or “Not There.” The buttons are spaced so close together, sometimes I’m not sure if I accidentally pushed the wrong button. It would be helpful to space the buttons out. If they are further apart, it will be easier to hit the correct one, especially in a moving car.

11. ALWAYS starts me going the wrong way...

    I have never once started Waze and had it tell me that I'm going in the direction my car is facing. There is no way to turn my car around when this happens (on the map) and sometimes because I can't do that, it makes it dangerous because I'm messing around with trying to figure out where to go. THIS is the single most annoying thing about Waze.

    Thank you for this suggestion.
    Setting the Car’s direction when starting the app and navigation is a known matter which will be addressed in the future.
    There are many complexities in location tracking which cause this issue and hold us from providing a solution.
    It’s currently on the back burner, but definitely a part of the backlog.

12. A few user stories for supporting BEV / electromobility in Waze

    Dear Wazers,

    I have been using your product far before "the Google times." When I first downloaded Waze, the road to my home was not "Wazed-paved" yet, so I had to pave it myself :). Anyway, that's not what I'm writing you about. I want to extend a request to you through a few user stories, which would significantly enhance my electromobility driving experience. I hope you're already thinking in that direction, and we'll see enhancements for BEV (battery-electric vehicles) soon.

    There're plenty of elecromobile-specific apps, but Waze is my current choice for a guidance app. As such, I am suffering because I need to switch back/forth from Waze to another app when it comes time to plan a long drive.

    If you would like to enhance our experience with Waze easily, you could partner with the two most powerful solutions, PlugShare and abetterrouteplanner.com (of course, if they agree). But I think you're big enough to believe in enhancing your app by yourself and giving us the functionality to fulfill our e-mobility needs.

    I took the liberty to draft a few user stories, which I can find very useful. Although all of them will give excellent functionality to Waze, the first one is the most important, which would position Waze as the first massively used navigation software which incorporates proper functionality for e-mobility. I hope you have plans to win this market even better.

    In any case, here're the stories. Each story has a justification/overview to it.

    As a user, I need to see charging stations on the map so that I can plan my travel accordingly

    This one is the "mother of all e-mobility" stories. Of course, it's so big that it's easily epic, but shortly said, we, the users, need a way to see the charging stations on the map.

    The distinguished properties of each charger on the map should be like those below:

      name: "Awesome charger" # The name of the charging station, user free-form
      owner: "EVPoint" # the charging station owner
      description: "Please use our apps, available at our home page https://evpoint.bg/, to activate the charger."
      max-power: 150 # the maximum power, in kW, of the whole station. Sometimes people use only this parameter to judge the power delivery speed, but often it's necessary to have granulation per socket.
      connectors: # Lists all charging connectors available at the station. This is a good reference for it: https://evcharging.enelx.com/resources/blog/552-ev-charging-connector-types
        - CCS2: # CCS2 charging connectors at the station
            - count: 2 # two CCS2 charging connectors
            - max-power: 75 # 75 kW max power each
        - CHADEMO: # Chademo connectors at the station
            - count: 1 # one Chademo connector
            - max-power: 50 # 50 kW max power 
    

    The description might seem optional, but without it we will need a place to know the URL from which we will access the charging app. Usually, most of the manufacturers have their specific apps. So any particular data on how to access the station services is put in this field.

    A very important part of this functionality is the filters. When a BEV travels a long distance, we usually use the fact DC-chargers. These give us a charge for approx 100-150 miles (150-250 km) in 10-20 minutes. Most of these chargers are located near (or directly as part of) existing gas stations.

    As part of an MVP, I would accept the first four fields, with the ability to filter by max-power. However, an "MVP-2" stage with the connectors property, and the ability to filter by their type, will be a must since not all cars support all connectors. For example, a TESLA might have its own connector only, and my car has only CCS2 for DC charging.

    As a user, I would like to enter my BEV range so that Waze helps me plan longer rides

    This is a must if I could use Waze as my assistant for BEV travels. My vehicle has a range (let's simplify this for now - just a number of km or miles in my account).

    Based on this range, Waze could show me in a friendly way, directly over my travel map, where my coverage ends. Then I can zoom in, choose a suitable charging station, and plan my ride accordingly (see below). For this, Waze has to have support for more than one Stops (I think right now you allow only one stop, but even this would do, for an MVP, it's more than OK).

    As a user, I need better support for community-driven charging station data and status

    The community feedback is critical since the map is not yet saturated with chargers. Thus, having the ability to rate/comment on each charging station is a functionality that I use very often. When I plan my trip, I usually avoid chargers, where the community says "broken." And when a charger comes back online, the community is very fast to indicate this.

    The best way to leave feedback is to indicate if any user had a successful charging session. A simple Yes/No would do. The system can then calculate an overall rating per charger and display it in a Rating section. The written feedback from each user can also be displayed there (if there's such a given with the "Charge-successful/unsuccessful" rate).

    Dear Wazers,

    I have been using your product far before "the Google times." When I first downloaded Waze, the road to my home was not "Wazed-paved" yet, so I had to pave it myself :).

14. Waze distress signal

    As a Wazer, wouldn't be great to be able to send out a distress signal. Tyre change, out of gas, need engine help, etc. Perhaps also car make specific help, in that case a personal setting including car make could be needed.

    If another user helps you out he or she would gain some 100 p. To avoid misuse the extra points only should apply when you help a non friend Wazer.

    Or turn the other way around and let users state what type of help he or she could provide. No need to get flagged for help if you have no skills with engines. When you're in a hurry the "I can help" must be easily turned off.

15. Fade music on alerts/notifications/Turn-by-Turn

    It would be really nice if Waze faded music during audio events (not pause.. pause is a little bit jerky and makes you lose the music beat)
    I use my phone (Android) as a Media Center on my car, it controls the audio and video on it. I play music using it (outstanding equalizer settings and audio effects), and the fade function is really necessary so I don't keep distracting looking for corners on GPS.
    Also, on my own opinion, fading looks real classy and professional.

    Original Google Maps' software does that fading, but I don't want to go back using it. Waze is amazing!

16. GPS not found regularly.

    Multiple updates, different iPhones and IOS’s and different cars… all regularly fail to show GPS. Confirm setting and toggling connection on Waze helps sometimes and it sometimes requires reboot and sometimes that doesn’t fix it. Apple Maps works unfortunately, so I know I have connection and gps works.

18. Enhance the "Prevent Auto-Lock" setting

    Enhance the "Prevent Auto-Lock" setting, so that you can have one setting for when it is plugged in and charging and another setting when not charging.

    This will allow for the option to let the phone to go into standby, if the phone is left on after turning the car off.

    So I could close the car windows in time OR move the air conditioner to internal circulation mode OR just warn the kids in time.
