Weighted position marker
I use 2D, north-up moving map displays. It would be better to not have my vehicle position marker in the center but weighted off center where I can see more of the map of where I am headed and not where I have been.

Improve location detection upon startup
My biggest complaint is the Waze app is not very good about detecting which way my car is facing before I start driving. It makes it very difficult when trying to determine where to go - it takes a good 20 seconds or so after driving for Waze to realize the correct direction I'm pointing/going. Also, the directions may change once I start driving/once Wave realizes which way my vehicle is facing.
Thank you for the consideration!

Add a mood for slow moving vehicles ex..moving couch or cake onboard or sightseers etc
Slow moving vehicles should be able to self designate with a special mood to warn other users. Ex my ‘snail’ drives slow when I have a ‘cake on board’ or I am moving my ‘couch’ furniture or sightseeing like a ‘tourist’ on a road trip or am lost like a ‘broken arrow’ and can’t find my way ‘?’ Or because my ‘bad WiFi’ is breaking up and waze keeps disconnecting. In These instances a Wazer Needs and should be able to select it’s own special moods. This would help other Wazers greatly.

Airplane icon and Air Traffic Control voice
There should be an option to have a commercial airplane as your vehicle icon while driving. I also think it would be cool to have a voice that sounds like Air Traffic Control and alert sounds similar to what you would hear in an airplane.

New Screen is HORRIBLE!
Screen looks like a toddler's video game now! I can't check for other routes without going through a couple of different screens, no street names except for highways and large thoroughfares. I used this app all the time and recommended it to everyone, but I don't think I'll be recommending it as much anymore. I get that it uses less battery power, but really... it's a DRIVING app!!! Plug the phone IN while your'e driving if you don't want your battery to get used up!

multiple access points
Multiple access points:
Some destinations can be approached from multiple gates. The route and arrival time to those gates may differ significantly, however, the destination is the same.
Please add the possibility (for starters to work destination) to add multiple gates and navigate me to whatever gate would result in the fastest travel.Example: My office complex has large underground garage with 3 gates and I don't care which one will I use the enter. There are lots of one-ways and going from one gate to another can take 5-10 minutes by car.

Dip Permanent Hazard
It would be great to have a new category of permanent hazards for dips in the roadway. Currently, there is no appropriate category for such. Many municipalities have man-made dips to serve as a traffic calming device. On the other hand, natural dips in the roadway may be encountered by Wazers throughout their travel. Having this permanent hazard can warn Wazers of such occurrences ahead of time in order to slow down and prevent potential damage to vehicles.
Another suggestion (https://waze.uservoice.com/forums/59223-waze-suggestion-box/suggestions/38921404-reporting-uneven-road>) regarding uneven roads might be relevant as part of this new permanent hazard category.

Add an "not accurate button" on the map
I approached a large circle and Waze instructed me to make a left turn. That was not clear for that overly large circle and I went into the wrong area. Better to have said turn into the 4th opening. Also, while driving in another place, it told me to turn too quickly when another turn was shortly after. I think it would help if there was a "not accurate" button on the map that could easily be pressed so WAZE could investigate the route and correct it. Thanks for your help in finding directions because you certainly have made my…

Make business names/logos in ads larger.
Besides placing the product in an ad, also insert the company or logo AND.. make them large enough to be seen on a small screen.
I'd like to help the Waze developers/company prosper by advertisers knowing their ads are seen.
Being crowned for several years now I've seen many, many ads, but only a handful of times been able to answer the question: "Have you seen this product/company". And by "a handful" I mean five times or less. In seven years and hundreds of thousands of miles.4 votes -
Trucker Version
Develop a trucker setting, or perhaps an entirely separate 'Trucker Waze' app for those of us running larger vehicles. We need to know about low clearance overpasses/bridges, narrow lanes and one lane bridges, weight restrictions, etc. For example, I pull oversized trailers up and down the East Coast (USA). I am 14'6" high, and 10'6" wide. You could even buy Trucker Path and add all the Waze functionality...

Lowered Cars
The concept is a Low-Clearance Vehicle Mode that would:
• Detect and report hazards such as potholes, bumps, debris, and flooding in real time.
• Allow users to submit hazard reports as they encounter them, similar to Waze’s current system for reporting police, accidents, or traffic jams.
• Provide alternative routes to avoid potential damage to vehicles, especially on streets, bridges, or parking areas with low clearance.
• Integrate crowd-sourced data to keep the map continuously updated for low-clearance vehicle drivers.This feature could enhance Waze’s reputation as the most comprehensive navigation app while addressing a currently underserved market…

Make current speed, speed limits and warnings the largest images on the CarPlay phone companion screen
Rather than next turns or route events shown on your phone screen when the maps are pushed to a CarPlay screen, can we have a large view of current speed, speed limits and upcoming road warnings instead (or as a third view option)?

Add Support for Oval Country-Code Symbols in Visual Instructions
Description:
In many European and international transit corridors, road authorities frequently use the white oval country‑code symbol (e.g., A, D, CH, H, I, SLO, HR) on direction signs, gantries, and even road surface markings. These symbols are universally recognized by drivers and originate from the international vehicle registration codes defined in the Geneva Convention on Road Traffic (1949) and the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic (1968).Because these ovals appear prominently on real-world signage—especially in countries with heavy cross‑border traffic—they are an essential visual cue for navigation. However, in Waze they are currently difficult and cumbersome to reproduce in visual…

Abbility to report start & end of SPECS.
SPECS cameras operate as sets of two or more cameras installed along a fixed route that can be from 200 metres (660 feet) to 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) in length.[3] They work by using an automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) system to record a vehicle's front number plate at each fixed camera site. As the distance is known between these sites, the average speed can be calculated by dividing this by the time taken to travel between two points.[4] The cameras use infrared photography, allowing them to operate both day and night.

Suggestion on reporting police traps.
Many people incorrectly report police traps when on a major highway and there is a substantial divide between north and south lanes (woods or grass). An example is I am heading south and see a police vehicle hidden in the woods looking at northbound traffic. I have now way to select other side and hidden together. So people select hidden but it shows up to southbound traffic when in fact it should warn northbound traffic.
A few more choices/selections/modifiers in all categories would help pin dow types and location of issues.
I would love to be part of a Beta…3 votes -
Add new "service" category: "Delivery apps"
Waze should add more specificity under its "delivery" category. Establishments that deliver—mostly establishments under "food and drink"—often either offer delivery through delivery apps or have in-house delivery. Editors should be able to add each of the delivery apps that an establishment uses (e.g. Postmates, Doordash, Caviar, Uber Eats, etc). This addition would be especially useful for editors in large cities, as the gig economy is in full swing.

Allow for non numeric numbers in address for places.
Today twice I tried entering two business's that were not already on map. Because I was not allowed to use the "-" (dash symbal) to represent the suite number, technically the address was NOT completely correct. In a large complex that could be only way to find a business. You already allow numeric keypad to come up for inputting so why not allow the minus key to actively work as well. It also causes you to earn less points because it thinks you are inputting same address as entered by a previous user. I was inputting from my Android phone…

Track my car's vitals; build database for community benefits
This is a big idea, no small undertaking I know. I'd like to combine my GPS app with the functionality of an app like Gas Cubby, which tracks my MPG at every fill-up and alerts me when my car is due for maintenance.
Here's how I envision it:
-I tell Waze what car I drive: ex: 2003 Saturn Vue, 6 cyl, automatic
-Every time I stop to fill up, I tell Was
a) What my current odometer reads (waze should know how many miles I've driven in theory, but this is a checksum validation in case I forgot to open…4 votes -
Go now
The Go Now needs to go! Less frills leads to better app performance. The taxi option for the vehicle type should remove some unnecessary functions in order to make the app faster. The U-turn suggestion usually adds many hundreds of meters while usually there are options closer to my location.
