lane change
In the map display, there are no lane change indicators like those white bold arrows when turning left, right or U-turn. Those are important to have an early indicator that you are about to lane change on a certain location in the map. This will also help in the use of the lane guidance to know which part of the map should we use the guidance.

How to increase pedestrians and cyclists safety
How to increase pedestrians and cyclists safety
By defining new Waze modes of operation, the central computer could get the location of any pedestrian or cyclist connected to the Waze application.
The following safety features could be specially helpful when the weather is misty or rainy:
The central computer could derive that a pedestrian is crossing a wide road and could inform the near by vehicle drivers. As a result the driver will slow down.
When driving on a narrow road, any car driver could be warned that he is approaching of a walking pedestrian or of a bicycle rider…7 votes -

Fuel stations suggestion based on the estimated mileage from fuel gauge
We are on a road trip. Most modern cars have a miles until empty feature. When you fill up your car the estimated mileage until empty is display on the dash. It would be beneficial to have Waze show you nearest gas stations to that mileage so that you have let’s say a 50 mile warning that you need gas and these are the stations near that limit. I had a very close call to running out. And started to panic because a highway split didn’t have a gas station as I thought it would on my way out of…

Android Auto default on Go button when POI selected
I have a car with touchpad/buttons to select with no touchscreen.
When I search for a point of interest (usually through voice commands) and select from the list, it displays information about the poi, but I need to move the cursor all the way to the Go button to start the trip. This is a hassle without a touchscreen.
Can this be defaulted to the Go button to make the selection quicker and safer?
Alternatively, can we start the trip ("Go") with a voice command?

Speedometer position Android Auto
Actual Speed and Limit icons to be set closer to driver position (left or right of screen) depending on driver position in settings.
On car displays having the icons on opposite side can take the attention off the road for too long when trying to observe the speed limit / actual speed.8 votes -
Let user choose the hours for dark mode when using the “only at night” setting
For example, when driving at 5:30am Waze defaults to day mode but it’s still dark outside and the day mode display is way too bright at that time of day

Revert to old waze
Not a fan of the new saved routes display. Harder to find what I want a clusters up the screen. Would love to go back to the drop down list instead of this scrolling.

"Repeat last command". Include a touch icon or driver voice command to trigger replay of last Waze voice command. Long
"Repeat last command". Include a touch icon (or more usefully, driver voice command) to replay the last Waze voice command. Long periods of dead air time (Is Waze still there?), interference from sounds of passengers (someone talking while Waze is speaking), outdoor noise (motor cycles), or simply forgetting the last thing Waze said can all be resolved by putting a "Repeat last command" icon on the Waze display

Waze for AAOS on GMC Sierra
Since waze has been available for AAOS on GMS. My 2022 Sierra has issues displaying the app. It cuts off both the right and left side of the display as it is not formatted properly. Anyone else seen this?

time zone temp fix
If it's too difficult to have Waze team fix the time zone issue, how about Waze telling the user the destination crosses a diff time zone and to display a warning that they should manually set the time zone on their phone to the actual destination time zone to prevent confusions/issues. That way, Waze won't adjust when crossing the zone and destination will display ETA correctly for the whole trip. At arrival, another warning could be to remind the user to set his time zone on phone back to "automatic".

COVID testing center wait time, traffic
I was trying to get covid test for my daughter this weekend and couldn't find out what places didn't have a wait line. Like traffic, I thought this would be a good opportunity for Waze to have people add a Covid testing alert or comment at a site to let others know the wait times. Or for Waze to recognize how many people are heading there? This would be a huge relief to people during this stressful time.

Help and feedback should have a generic "Report bug" option
I found an issue on the display that I wanted to report, but it did not fit the existing categories, and only offered the suggestion box. Would also like to upload screenshots to show the issue.

navigation disappearing android auto
There's a known bug of this and I was directed here by support.
I have found a work around to get Waze navigation to work on the vehicle display through Android Auto.
These steps, in this order, will allow Waze navigation to function on the vehicle display. The steps must be performed each time the phone connects to the vehicle. So switching from wireless Android Auto to wired and vice versa will require following the steps again. All steps are performed on the vehicle display unit, not on the phone.
- Open Google Maps on the vehicle.
- Start navigation in…

Separate "Show compass" from "Always show map controls"
It is 2024-04-03 now. Some time ago the "Show compass" option disappeared from "Settings" / "Map display" / "Quick access". Now the compass is shown on the map only when "Always show map controls" is enabled. The old behavior was better. The new behavior adds unnecessary clutter.
My goal is to see an information. I have no intention on controlling the map while driving, so map controls are useless for me.
Please restore old behavior.

replace top bar with reports buttons
The top bar displays some information which is useless for navigation. Maybe it would be better to replace these with buttons for reporting issues. Make it bigger, too, so those buttons can be pressed easily.

show remaining time and distance next to ETA for the final destination too
ETA, Remaining time and distance to the next destination are very useful. Other suggestions handle the display of the final destination details on the main page. Before that gets implemented, please display also the remaining time and distance to the final destination too.
It is really useful when comparing various routes and when communicating with other people w.r.t. final destination or estimating if refuelling will be needed. Luckily there is enough space next to final destination ETA - there is no reason to have limited info there.1 vote -
Carplay - ability to pause or stop direction notifications
Waze repeatedly displays notifications when the Carplay display is set to another app. The way they continually pop up interferes with operation of anything else in the Carplay UI
Ex.: I'm sitting at a light where Waze indicates a left turn. While I wait on the light I go to Spotify to queue up a different album. While doing this Waze will repeatedly interrupt by displaying "left turn 0 feet" or similar notifications with no way to stop them.
This behavior is really obnoxious and there should either be a way to permanently stop any particular notification or…
