  2. Auto return to map

    Auto return to "Me on map"

    I want a setting in the client where you can choose to return to "Me on map" after 10, 20, 30, 45 or 60 seconds of user inactivity. This does not seem to happen after selecting a menu option or starting to report an incident but changing my mind. This lack of feature is dangerous because it takes too much focus while driving to find the exact right place or places to touch on a phone to return to the map navigation view.

  3. Setting to turn off big purple road names

    Many times these "new" big purple road names block the map at intersections and make it difficult to know if you are turning onto the correct street.

  5. Preinstalling Waze on Android

    In Switzerland, Waze isn't really common and kinda unknown. I have no idea why, since around Switzerland (French, Italy, Germany, etc.) it's way more used.
    So I thought that preinstalling it on Android devices (like google maps) could be a great idea in order to attract more users to the app.

  7. I need suport on this as I've tried to get Waze to make this adjustment but they keep saying enough people have to agree

    It seems crazy to me that you can so easily post a vehicle stopped on the side of the road...not effecting traffic at all...yet there is no option to report a vehicle broken down in the middle of Freeway lanes, causing a monumental traffic jam! There is an option for roadkill!!! Like a squashed squirrel is really going to impact your journey...but nothing for a vehicle. I had this problem happen to me. There was an almighty backup and I had no idea why. There was a vague report about "an Object" in the road, but you think of a…

  8. Live scroll on map in when using Apple CarPlay

    Instead of having to select the arrow navigation element and then scroll by selecting arrow keys, allow for live scrolling of the map when displayed on ICE system using Apple CarPlay

  10. keyboard shortcut

    It would be nice to implement native iOS keyboard shortcuts. Like the Apple Maps app which supports:

    CMD + for Zoom In
    CMD - for Zoom Out

    And maybe add support for the use of arrow keys to move the map around. CMD UPARROW/DOWNARROW etc.

    Another handy one would be a combination to recenter the map.

    I am using an iPad for navigation and I'm building a bluetooth remote control :-)

  11. Show real-time traffic problems anywhere you scroll the map

    It's not always possible to create a route to somewhere, especially if you want to know about traffic problems on roads heading towards you.

    Would be great to be able to see real-time traffic reports anywhere you scroll the map to; whether locally or 200 miles away.

  13. Player FM Audio App Integration

    Hello, I'd like to request that Player FM, a podcast app, be added to the available audio app integrations list. It is presently available in Google Maps, so hoping it would not be a heavy lift.

  14. can we get an option to prioritise motorways

    I just looked up how to get somewhere and google maps gives me 3 routes, all going right through the centre of town which while maybe faster than going a longer route of out to the motorway then back in on the other side of town, it would be far preferable.

  15. Allow a user-selected zoom to STAY until user re-centers map

    Many times I want to keep Waze at a certain zoom level for a long time, but Waze automatically resets the zoom and re-centers by itself. What's wrong with letting the user set AND KEEP a particular zoom level until canceled by the user, with or without keeping the map centered on current position. It's very annoying to have to keep readjusting Waze to show what I want to see!

  16. Incorporate BMW/MINI Connected into Waze.

    I'm not suggesting that the map show on the screen, just the ability to report events and respond to questions such as traffic slowdowns. Ok, and maybe start nav...

  19. Enable Speech-to-Text for Map Update Requests While Driving (via Android Auto and CarPlay)

    I would like to suggest an improvement to Waze that would allow users to fill out map update requests (URs) using speech-to-text while driving, particularly when connected through Android Auto or CarPlay.

    Currently, when users select a map update option (such as "Incorrect address," "Missing road," or "Speed limit") while driving, there is no way to add a description of the issue. This limits the ability to provide detailed reports and often results in incomplete information being submitted. With speech-to-text functionality, users could quickly and safely dictate descriptions of the problem without having to stop or manually type anything.

    For…
