Enhancing Waze: Traffic Mode vs. Navigation Mode
Problem: When using Waze primarily for traffic and alert monitoring (rather than navigation), essential information like the compass, speed limit, and alert icons doesn’t appear unless a specific destination is set. (I am using ipadOS 17.4)
Suggested Improvement:
Introduce a new option in “Settings: General” called “Default Driving Mode.”
Users can choose between:
Traffic Mode: Starts Waze in full-screen map mode without the “Where to?” prompt. Provides standard map elements and access to submit/receive alerts.
Navigation Mode: Retains the current default map with the persistent “Where to?” prompt.
Consider adding a button on the map display to toggle between Navigation…3 votes -
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.

Refined UI
This may not pertain to most people, but for those of you who use the Waze app in the landscape view may have similar issues. First of all, the alert box for train crossings and red light cameras takes up approximately 40% of the bottom of the screen, as well as the direction arrows information covers the speed display. Some of the other icons are piled on top of each other. If the UI were to be more like the Android auto version of Waze or Gmaps it would be much better and easier to use.

Enhanced 3D Junction View for Improved Navigation with 3D illustrations
Enhanced 3D Junction View for Improved Navigation
The current Waze display on the BMW X1's 8-inch screen utilizes the full space but lacks critical lane-level detail, especially during complex maneuvers. Implementing enhanced 3D illustrations for specific challenging road features would significantly improve driver clarity and safety.- Complex Interchanges and Lane Guidance For junctions where a simple directional arrow is insufficient, a dynamic 3D view is needed to guide drivers into the correct lane well in advance.
Motorway Splits and Exits:
Need: Show complex motorway splits (e.g., merging onto two separate dual carriageway A-roads) and exits.
Proposed Feature: Display a 3D-rendered…

Set location of a "Report" for where you press the Icon that displays the reports instead of setting it where you are when you select send
I like to participate in Waze to help others as they've helped me, but often don't see things to report until I'm already on top of it. (i.e. speed trap, hazard, etc.) I've found that the location based on my selection is placed far further on the map from the actual occurrence by time I select the remaining options and hit "Send". As the last thing I want to be doing while traffic is maneuvering and breaking is seeing which additional selections need to be made to make sure I select correctly, it would be nice if selecting the "Report"…

Add navigate to dropped pin on touch screen head unit

Showing the average speed on the trip
When a driver enters an average speed check zone, Waze could display both the legal speed limit and the driver’s current calculated average speed since entering the zone. Additionally, the app could show what the driver’s remaining average speed needs to be in order to stay compliant by the end of the zone.
Example:
“Average speed check zone — Limit: 90 km/h.
Current average: 95 km/h.
To stay compliant, reduce speed to 85 km/h.”2 votes -
Train Tracks (Animated?) On CarPlay
While navigating via CarPlay and seeing train tracks on the display, the track seems animated in a irrelevant way. I understand the perspective of the track changes, as the object moves alongside of it, but the animation is distracting to my opinion. My suggestion would be to minimise the animation by decreasing the times the refreshes. Hopefully this can be fixed, so driving next to train tracks is less distracting. Thanks a lot for all the effort! FCB

drive scheduling
The only problem with the new "drive scheduling several days in advance" feature is that the display takes so long to refresh after the day is entered and before the hour is entered that I originally thought the program got hung!! I discovered that I have to leave it alone for about a minute, and it will process the command and continue eventually. SO MY SUGGESTION is either to shorten the processing time, OR to display a status message every 10 seconds, so the user knows that the app is still processing and has not hung up.

Fix IOS 16 app
Just updated my iPhone 12 Mini to IOS 16. Unfortunately, the app’s display is extremely disproportional to the screen size & shape, so much that it affects basic user functions. Apple/Waze app developers should look into this ASAP.

Speed signs on WME
a) I usually place comments (in the form of points) next to the track at the exact spot where there is a maximum speed sign, indicating the content of the sign (example: 80km/h). This helps me remember potential speed change points. It would be useful to have a layer that activates a visible icon on the WME map to display these signs, without needing to open the comment box.

b) It would be wonderful if Waze used A.I. to scan Google Street View and capture all relevant traffic signs, marking them on the map for verification and subsequent handling…

Waze maps lag BADLY when used via CarPlay on my 2022 Kia Telluride.
The Waze map display lags BADLY when used via CarPlay on my 2022 Kia telluride. The sound / alerts are correct but the map lags about a mile behind where I am located. It’s extremely frustrating. Please fix.

Custom Waze Icon Bumper Stickers for Wazers
Subject: Marketing Idea: Custom Waze Icon Bumper Stickers for Wazers
Dear Waze Team,
I hope this message finds you well. I’m writing to share a fun and engaging marketing idea that I believe could greatly benefit both Waze and its community of users: offering Wazers their custom Waze icon as a physical bumper sticker.
The Concept:
Many of us take pride in our custom Waze icons, whether it's the default icon or one we’ve chosen to reflect our personality on the road. My suggestion is to send Wazers a free bumper sticker featuring their custom Waze icon, which they can…4 votes -
Magnification option
Frequently I feel like I have to zoom out or in to see what lies ahead of me on the road. It's difficult but more so dangerous to adjust zoom, as it requires a lot of tinkering with fingertips. Not so good with driving.
I suggest the same map layout Waze currently has -- but with two or three small boxes (i.e. interfaces) across the bottom of the screen. By pressing on one of them it zooms automatically to a 4x magnified map display, for example. The other boxes could be an 8x, 16x, or whichever magnification preference the…

when rerouting, audio queue should be cleared at same time as screen updates
Currently, if I do not follow Waze route, it quickly reroutes based on my new location - which is good.
Problem is that whilst the screen reroutes quickly, waze continues to give its (I assume) cached audio instructions for the old route. I can travel 2 urban blocks with waze telling me to turn left at xxxx St and then turn right, and then the turn right at yyyy St - it can go through several instructions that are no longer relevant, and potentially confusing for drivers as they make no sense against the route showing on the display.

On a feedback there is no ability to report INCORRECT SPEED LIMITATIONS.IE Waze shows 50 KM/hour in a 40 Km/hour area
Need to be able to press the golden diamond and notify speed display incorrect. This could be a permanent road change as on the Esplanade , Lindisfarne Tas. where 50 shows in 40 zone, or temporary restriction for roadworks

Stop hiding the direction when displaying an alert
When displaying an alert, it's very inconvenient and dangerous to suddenly have the directions hidden by the notification especially on the interchange.
I randomly chick on not there anymore just to choose the right. At that moment I need clear instructions and both hands on the wheels !2 votes
