Preferred fuel stations on route: brand filter, live prices, one-tap stop
Hello Waze team,
I would like to suggest a feature that would make Waze much more useful for drivers who need to refuel during navigation.
Today, Waze can show fuel stations, but it does not let users properly filter fuel stations by preferred brands along the current route. For example, I often refuel only at TotalEnergies / Total Access, or sometimes only at stations compatible with specific networks such as Fulli, E.Leclerc, Carrefour, Intermarche, Super U, Shell, Esso, BP, Avia, etc.
The problem is simple: when I am already navigating, I do not want to search manually, compare stations one by one, or leave my route. I want Waze to show me the best fuel stations from my selected brands directly on my route.
Suggested feature:
During active navigation, Waze could show a small fuel panel with the 3 best matching stations on the current route.
Each result should show:
Station name
Brand or network
Fuel price for my selected fuel type
Price last updated
Open / closed / 24h status
Detour time, for example +2 min
Detour distance, for example +1.4 km
Distance remaining before reaching the station
One-tap button: “Add as stop”
Users should be able to choose:
Fuel type: Diesel, SP95, SP98, E10, E85, LPG, EV charging
Preferred brands or networks
Show only selected brands
Maximum detour time
Open now / 24h only
The brand list should not be limited to a few hardcoded examples. It should be searchable and country-specific, so users in France can select brands such as TotalEnergies, Total Access, AS24, Fulli, E.Leclerc, Carrefour, Intermarche, Super U, Auchan, Shell, BP, Esso, Avia, ENI, Dyneff, and others.
This would be extremely useful for:
Drivers with company fuel cards
Professional drivers
Users with loyalty programs
Drivers who prefer specific fuel quality or station networks
People on long trips who want to avoid unnecessary detours
EV drivers looking for compatible charging networks
Example user story:
I start navigation to my destination. I selected Diesel and the brands TotalEnergies + E.Leclerc. While driving, Waze shows the 3 best matching stations on my current route, ranked by lowest detour and price. I tap one station, Waze adds it as a stop, then continues to my original destination after refueling.
This would make fuel search much more practical, safer, and more useful while driving.
Thank you. exemple {

היי ניווט לתחנות דלק עם אפשרות סינון סולר/95/טעינת חשמלית. אבל לדלק 98 אין וזה ממש חסר לנו הנהגים שמתדלקים רק 98
היי ניווט לתחנות דלק לפי סימון צרכים כמו 95/סולר/טעינת חשמלית יש הכל. אבל דלק 98 אין אפשרות לבחירה בעדיפות הגדרות. אני חושב שזה חשוב מאוד שיהיה כי החברים שלי ואני נוסעים הרבה ומחפשים המון באינטרנט לאיזה תחנה קרובה יש 98 וזה קשה. אני חושב שזה יהיה מאוד מועיל אם תצליחו לקדם את זה

BMW idrive 7
Dear Waze Team,
I am a dedicated Waze user and BMW driver, and I would like to raise a feature request that I believe would make Waze significantly better and safer to use in BMW vehicles: proper integration into the instrument cluster and head-up display.
I currently use Waze in a BMW G42 M240i xDrive, model year 2021, equipped with iDrive 7, Apple CarPlay, and the latest iOS and Waze versions. While Waze works well on the central CarPlay display, navigation instructions are not shown in the digital instrument cluster or in the BMW head-up display. This means that important guidance, alerts, and turn-by-turn information remain limited to the center screen.
For everyday driving, this is a noticeable limitation. BMW’s native navigation system already makes excellent use of the cockpit and HUD by displaying guidance directly in the driver’s field of view. This is not only more convenient, but also safer, because the driver can keep their eyes closer to the road instead of repeatedly looking over to the center display.
From what I have seen, BMW vehicles with iDrive 8 have recently started to receive support for this kind of enhanced Waze integration. That is a very welcome development. However, many BMW drivers are still using iDrive 7, including owners of relatively modern vehicles such as the G42 2 Series. These cars are technically capable of showing navigation information in the cluster and HUD through BMW’s own navigation system, so it would be extremely valuable if Waze could support this functionality as well.
I would therefore kindly ask Waze to consider extending full cockpit integration to BMW vehicles with iDrive 7. Ideally, this would include turn-by-turn directions, lane guidance, next manoeuvre information, speed-camera alerts, police warnings, hazard reports, and other relevant Waze notifications in the instrument cluster and, where supported, the head-up display.
This would be a major improvement for BMW users who rely on Waze because of its excellent real-time traffic information, community alerts, police reports, and speed-camera warnings. At the moment, many drivers have to choose between Waze’s superior live data and BMW’s better cockpit integration. Bringing Waze into the cluster and HUD would remove that compromise and make Waze the obvious choice for many premium-car drivers.
I would be very grateful if you could forward this request to the responsible product, automotive integration, CarPlay, or Android Auto team. It would also be helpful to know whether support for BMW iDrive 7 cluster and HUD integration is already being considered, tested, or planned for a future release or beta program.
Thank you very much for your time and for continuously improving Waze. I genuinely hope this feature can be brought to iDrive 7 users as well, as it would make a meaningful difference to comfort, safety, and the overall driving experience.

Add Waze Support to Samsung Now Brief
Many Samsung users use Waze as their primary navigation app, yet Now Brief only shows commute information from Google Maps.
Waze often provides more useful driving information through real-time reports of traffic, accidents, hazards, road closures, and faster alternate routes. If Waze is set as a user's default navigation app, Now Brief should be able to display Waze commute data as well.
Adding Waze support would give users relevant travel information from the app they actually use, making Now Brief more useful and personalized.2 votes -
FIX the CarPlay map disappearing after driving for a few minutes
First off, it's infuriating that PROBLEMS can't be reported on the Support page.
The CarPlay map disappears after a few minutes of driving. All the control buttons remain, but the moving map is just a white field. This is a failure that makes Waze absolutely useless on CarPlay. This problem started with the latest iOS 5.19.1.0 version of Waze.2 votes -
Announce a speed camera even when not speeding
This was apparently added in a recent update but it does not work or it hasn’t been added. It would be good if waze announced a camera was coming up even when you are not speeding
Please add or fix!

Options for economical routes / shorter distance routes
It would be good if waze did something similar to google maps where it shows you the fastest routes but also shows you a more economical route that may take a bit longer but saves distance or saves fuel a bit.

Easy Customization for Speed Bumps
Speed bump alerts need a direct, easy-to-find customization toggle rather than relying on a "familiarity limit" based on driving days. Without clear control, frustrated drivers constantly report already-mapped speed bumps, flooding the map with duplicates update requests and creating unnecessary cleanup work for editors.

Waze HUD Navigation Missing on BMW OS8 (Apple CarPlay)
Category: Bug Report / Feature Integration
Platform: Apple CarPlay
Vehicle / System: BMW with Operating System 8 (OS8)
Description
When using Waze via Apple CarPlay, navigation instructions and turn-by-turn prompts are not displayed in the vehicle's Head-Up Display (HUD) under BMW OS8.
Important Context: The vehicle's CarPlay HUD interface is fully functional. When using Apple Maps, all turn-by-turn arrows and lane guidance are projected onto the HUD without any issues. The problem is specific to Waze, as the app currently does not seem to output the secondary screen navigation data required for the BMW HUD.
Expected Behavior
Waze should utilize the native Apple CarPlay dual-screen/instrument cluster API so that navigation prompts are displayed in the BMW OS8 Head-Up Display, just as they are with Apple Maps.Category: Bug Report / Feature Integration

התראה על רמזור שעומד להתחלף
כאשר נהג נמצא במרחק סביר מהרמזור, והרמזור ירוק ולא ניתן לדעת אם הוא עומד להתחלף אז שתהיה התראה שעל הנהג להאט כי הרמזור מתחלף לאדום וכך להציל חיי אדם, למנוע תאונות, ולהפחית עברות תנועה.

Smart Routing for Buses and Trucks - A Must-Have Feature for Waze
Hello Waze Team,
I would like to suggest adding a dedicated navigation mode for buses and trucks, with routing that takes large vehicle limitations into account.
Today, Waze is excellent for private cars, traffic updates, and real-time navigation, but it can be very problematic for buses and heavy vehicles, especially in Israel and particularly in the Tel Aviv area.
Many streets are extremely narrow, have sharp turns, low clearances, weight restrictions, or are simply not suitable for large vehicles. As someone who works in tourism and frequently travels with tourist buses, I have personally experienced situations where Waze directed our bus into streets or turns that were physically impossible to pass.
More than once, we got stuck in a narrow turn with vehicles both in front of and behind us, and it took a very long time and significant traffic disruption to maneuver the bus out safely. These situations are stressful, dangerous, and avoidable with vehicle-aware routing.
It would be extremely valuable if Waze could allow users to define:
Vehicle type (bus, car, truck, RV, etc.)
Vehicle height
Vehicle width
Vehicle length
Vehicle weightAnd then use this information to avoid:
Narrow streets
Low bridges or tunnels
Roads with weight or height restrictions
Tight turns unsuitable for large vehicles
Roads prohibited for buses/trucksIn addition, in Israel there are certain lanes and roads designated specifically for buses that Waze currently does not fully utilize or prioritize in routing. Adding support for public transportation and bus-priority infrastructure could significantly improve navigation efficiency for bus drivers.
I believe this feature would greatly improve safety, reduce traffic incidents, and make Waze much more useful.
Many professional drivers currently use a second navigation app alongside Waze because of this limitation. Integrating these capabilities directly into Waze would be a major improvement.Thank you for considering this suggestion.
