Auto sleep for Waze on iOS
Is there a way to get Waze to auto sleep after use on iOS with Car Play? I use Waze in my car, get out of my car, and it’s still running in the background and actively tracking my location.

Car sentry
I would like to suggest a new feature that could enhance the security of parked vehicles and improve community-driven safety within the Waze app. The feature, which I call "Car Sentry," would allow users to register their car’s license plate within Waze. If anyone notices suspicious activity or an issue related to the registered vehicle (such as theft, damage, or an incorrectly parked car), they could quickly notify the owner through the app.
Key benefits:
Increased security: Users receive real-time notifications if their car is involved in a reported incident.
Community-driven safety: Wazers can help each other by reporting suspicious…1 vote -
Waze map not fully extended on the main car screen
Please update the application, so the Waze map is fully extended on the main car screen. Since the last round frame interface there is a gap of nearly 0.5cm on all 4 sides of the display around the map.

Add a way to put Waze to sleep in Apple CarPlay
If I navigate with Waze in Apple CarPlay, it stays open on my phone and drains my battery unless I remember to go on my phone when I get out of my car and put Waze to sleep. Then the next time I get in my car, Waze starts up even if I don't use navigation and stays on on my phone when I get out of the car, again draining my phone battery. And if while in the car, I put Waze to sleep on my phone or quit the app, it immediately starts up again. This is a…

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.
4 votesThank 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. -
Car's Avatar
It could be so so nice to create our own avatar-car customizable on Waze like we can do it on Instagram or Messenger !! I love my ride, a Ford Ecosport, and I'd love to see my car on the Waze maps !!!!

Hazard on the Shoulder
When selecting a hazard on the shoulder, there is only an option for a car on the shoulder. How about adding truck on the shoulder?

Disable Bluetooth usage in app. I use Bluetooth as a care phone, but listen to the radio.
I use the Bluetooth for car phone use, but listen to the radio. Because you can't turn off Bluetooth use in waze, it runs silent because it's trying to alert you by Bluetooth.. a setting for Bluetooth use within the app would be helpful..

Plate Number also be encoded on Waze
CAR plate number should be encoded in waze, then waze will tell you which roads to avoid. Given the no coding scheme and the odd even scheme

Unblock phone sleeping when idle or parking - to preserve battery
It happened to me several times and I find it very annoying.
When I park the car waiting for someone out if I leave phone in the car when I reach my destination and I forget to turn it off, Waze will prevent the screen from turning off and will drain out my battery quickly.
My suggestion is that I'd Waze detects that I'm parking or not driving for over a minute or so, it should automatically suspend the navigation activity and enable screen shutdown and sleep until user starts driving again.5 votes -
The map should be able to display on the phone, even if CarPlay is active
Please can there be the option of keeping navigation running on the phone screen, even if CarPlay is enabled. CarPlay Display Units are often down low (where car radios used to be), and looking at that as your satnav is dangerous and distracting. Keeping the map on the phone will enable safer driving and a happier Apple and Waze customer base

speedometer
Speedometer can be pinned to my phones entire display (during carplay). That way it’s easier to read at a glance. Perhaps what displays on your phone screen when connected to carplay could be fully customisable?

Route Alerts
The shortened route alert should have user specified times. I do not care about saving 3 minutes on a 6 hour drive. There should also be a limited number of times Waze asks for this route. My last trip I ended up just letting Waze reroute me onto a toll road costing money because it wouldn't shut up about the 10 minutes I would save on my 3 hour trip.
There should also be a user settable feature where you can select how much you are willing to pay to save money. If an alternate route is faster but a…

Show search results on map
Waze search results are objectively inferior both in app and on android auto/carplay as compared to other popular navigation apps such as gmaps or apple maps.
Both of those apps display search results on a map view, with A, B, C etc pins with a selectable list on the side, and this works in app and on the in car head unit display. Google Maps also has a MUCH cleaner "add a stop" workflow.
This is a critical and basic feature gap that makes competing map applications much easier to use for searching18 votes -
"Bad smell ahead!"
"Bad smell ahead!"
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.
There are enough polluting factories or just sewage on the way !!!

Once car stops very near location, turn off map and STOP giving voice directions. Obviously I've arrived already!
I arrive to my work building's parking lot and then park my car. Waze doesn't get the hint that I've arrived and the map is still on. It's obvious I arrived and waze needs to stop. I can't tell you how many times I've been embarrassed by waze in the office when I'm trying to sneak into my desk and think I've made a clean entry and Waze randomly goes: IN 100 FEET TURN LEFT ON.... Seriously? 5 minutes after I parked!?!? Stfu Waze goddamit!

Android auto - car head unit layout
I think the app layout when on the car head unit display should be split. (It has already been suggested in a post about low resolutions)
- A split display could make it a lot clearer, since with the current floating turn directions/menu, the map is partially hidden when your route takes you left (since the car icon doesn't have enough horizontal offset)
- A delimited box for the map could enhance its visibility.
- The instructions pane could take the whole height of the display and thus use larger fonts/icons or provide better overall readability2 votes
- Don't see your idea?
