On CarPlay the hazard report and audio control buttons etc appear on the left of the screen in the UK
On CarPlay the hazard report and audio control buttons etc appear on the left of the screen in the UK instead of on the right nearest the driver. I did see it appear on the right just once after the latest update and thought "great!" but then at next launch it reverted to being on the right. Experts in the forum suggest this is set by region so are UK being classed as EU- we drive on the right. Can this be fixed or made an option to change in the settings in case I hire a car in the…

Alternate Routes
The last update to Waze made it more difficult and unsafe while driving. Prior to the update, I could click one button for alternate routes and it would bring up three on the screen. Now it brings up one and now I have to take my eyes off the road to slide the other options up. This was a bad idea of an update. Waze is the only map app that provides quick alternate routes while driving and now it is become risky to use.

Maximum Speed info box when crossing a border
When crossing borders if would be interesting to have a little popup infobox appear on the screen which summarizes the different speeds allowed in the country to which you have crossed the border to.
For example when i'm driving from Luxembourg to France, when crossing the border into France, i would get the info that
1) on Tolled Freeways the max speed is 130 kph
2) Non Tolled Freeways max speed 110 kph.
3) Minor Highway 80kph and etc.When i drive into Germany.
1) Freeway 130 kph
2) Minor highway 90 kph
3) in the city 50 kph10 votes -
Add information/instructions on when to add a pass
My suggestion is for the following feature:
Either:
Add an information panel when users enter the Toll and HOV passes page for the first time, informing them that adding passes may route them into areas or through restricted roads.
Or:
Allow us to add information against each pass/permit, giving the user guidance as to what each pass is for.My suggestion solves this problem:
There is less chance that the user will select a pass/permit that they shouldn’t have due to the misunderstanding of how the pass system works.In more words:
Now that Passes/Permits that users have added to…19 votes -

Spotify
Spotify button disappears when any alert comes up to the top screen. In many times, we cannot access the Spotify button, cause there are lots os sequential alerts that do not allow the button to be showed.
In my work-home-work route, there are speed sensors each 400-500m and one alert appears over the last one.
Button should be on the navigation screen or permanently on any other place on the screen.1 voteThank you for your suggestion! As you may already know, Waze is now integrated with several audio apps including Spotify, Deezer, TuneIn, iHeart Radio, Pandora and more. Just go to Settings > Audio Player and pick your favorite app.

Auto cancel the "Where to" and "My Waze" bars
When we use the map and do not choose a destination, the "Where to" and "My Waze" bars at the bottom of the screen - especially in the landscape position - occupy almost half of the screen, which makes it very difficult to read the map. They should disappear after a few seconds and reappear when you touch the screen. I would like to ask you to introduce this minor and very helpful modification.

Show Speedometer outside Path Navigation
Without the need to define a path, having the option to show the Speedometer outside a Navigation Session would be useful just to show the speed of the current user, either on a car, motorcycle, on foot, etc.
This, with the addition of a full-screen Speedometer, would be even great.
2 votesGreat news! This functionality is already available in Waze. Via Speedometer settings you’re able to set speedometer and/or current speed limit to be always displayed in app – even in free drive mode.

Use ⛽icon to display station prices along route.
Add a ⛽ icon to main screen - when tapped, it would display gas prices from stations along your route within the next 50mi. Tap again to toggle off. Select preferred fuel type in settings. Current options are not driver friendly.

Android Auto App Background Too Bright.
On some Android Auto screens (like the Pioneer AVIC-F88DAB), the daylight map is too bright to see the roads clearly (they look washed out).
Please add option to change background and/or road colors for in-car screens.

Please add Siri Shortcuts support for hazard and police reporting in Waze on iOS
Please add Siri Shortcuts support for hazard and police reporting in Waze on iOS. This would allow users—especially those using CarPlay or driving hands-free—to report visual sightings safely and legally.
Apple Maps already supports this (“Hey Siri, report a speed check”), but Waze does not. Since Waze has the most active crowdsourcing community, this feature would significantly improve:
• Driver safety (hands-free hazard reporting)
• Community contribution (more real-time data from CarPlay users)
• Accessibility (voice input for users who can’t interact with the screen)Suggested implementation:
• Expose actions like “Report police (visible/hidden), crash, hazard” to Siri Shortcuts…13 votesGreat news! Siri is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out. You may also refer to this link to learn more about on how to use Siri shortcuts in Waze.

Car play app
Dear Waze, it would be nice that you guys could come up with a way that the "Waze App" would have accessibility to be on Car Play so much helpful for drivers that have "Car Play" in there cars because it makes it a lot easier to be able to see the maps due to that we have a screen it better instead of using the phone screen. If you do come up with the app to be compatible with Car Play that would change the whole entire game for your app I mean it's already and amazing app…

Speed limit alert
Hey Waze
I have a proposal that I think would help with traffic safety. You have already created a speed alert. The problem today is that it only gives an alarm once in a speed zone. To get a new alarm, you need to enter a new speed zone. I thought it might be a good idea to make it possible for you to choose to get an alarm as long as you drive too fast, and that you can choose the alarm tone and volume. In android auto, the speedometer is placed on the right side of the screen…

Improve road detection while navigating
When navigating along roads that have service/access roads, the navigation will want to enter the freeway/highway/tollway/etc. If the driver stays on the access road or exits onto the access road, Waze does not detect that and keeps the location locked to the planned route. If Waze wants to route you onto a freeway/highway/tollway/etc. and you do not take the on-ramp, the app locks onto the planned route and thinks you are on the highway.
It would be nice if, when there are multiple parallel roads, that the app reduces the distance over which it will snap to a…

Interface - needs to revert to 3.x
The new interface looks childish and is unusable in landscape mode. The next instruction box at the top is too big. The notifications are horribly big, and the ones that show when you stop at a traffic light are worse, with the black background.
The map looks drawn by a 4 years old in crayon, seems to lack a lot of the information it had on v3.x., the map lines are too wide.
Having functions that only show when you tap the screen is very bad in usability terms.
To top all that, the interface is so heavy that it…6 votes -
Popup messages for multiple road reports
On the way home tonight, Waze alerted me to several road problems ahead (police, stopped vehicles, etc.). The reports were in such close succession (less than a mile apart) that the popup message for the first report was still on screen when the popup message for the second report appeared. Unfortunately, the second popup was on top so I could no longer see any information about the first report. When displaying multiple popup messages simultaneously, Waze should layer them such that the hazard in closest proximity to you is on top, followed by the next closest, and so on. This…
