find nearest branch
when I'm out and about, and want to find the nearest branch, of say, Citibank, I don't want to see "recent results" I want the nearest branch to where I am. Maybe even in the direction I'm going, rather than backtrack.

Risk classification system by areas
Risk classification system by areas:
Some countries like mine (Peru) have several areas which are either dangerous or ugly to go through. Since Waze algorithm is set to always find the best route regarding the traffic and shortest ways to minimze the time, sometimes it includes these kind of undesireble zones and and it can be really annoying or even scary.
Therefore, I suggest to implement a security location system based on the split and categorization of how safe or risky is each area.
At first, it's going to be necessary to make an initial investigation about the safety of…

Android Auto display on instrument cluster on VW Group cars
I've hit this issue and according to research it has been reported by other people using Waze Android Auto on VW Group cars.
In my case I have a Skoda Superb, and when using Waze Android Auto navigation, the instrument cluster will often(/always) show incorrect symbols for turns.
It seems to mostly go wrong for roundabouts, which the UK has many of. Roundabout direction icons will either incorrectly show as just a turn, or in the worst cases a right turn at a roundabout will show with a U-turn symbol.
This confusing display has been enough to stop me using…

HOV only ramps and roads
When Wazers select an HOV route, because of the way HOV was implemented, any direct access ramp or otherwise HOV only road will never be suggested.
Waze needs to be able to suggest all HOV options, including HOV only flyovers and ramps.

Seamless "OK, Google Now Navigate"
I would like Waze to begin navigation intermediately after it starts when I say "OK, Google Now Navigate to ..." without having me to click anything. Right now the destination appears on the map, but then I need to click the bock and tell Waze to begin navigation.

use Iphone screen to display speedometer/speed limit when in carpay mode
When in apple carplay mode, use the iphone screen to display the speedometer/speedlimit in full screen. Pehaps as a third tab next to the directions, notifications tab. With the phone in a cradle close to the steering wheel this avoids having to glance to the far right of the main car screen to see the actual speed limit.

Economic mode
Hello,
The last time, when I used Waze, I have the opportunity to switch on the economic mode. Thank to what the brightness of the screen decreased during the paths without change of direction. It was a very good idea, because the energy consumption of your application is very High.
Do you intend to re-enter this option? Or allow the screen to turn off between the instructions between long paths ?2 votes -
Better head-up-display directions at roundabout
The head-up-display shows directions through waze in my VW ID.7. At roundabouts it shows an arrow, instead of (part of) a roundabout with which exit to take.

Bring Back Apple Car Play Microphone
PLEASE, PLEASE PLEASE restore the microphone for use with Apple Car Play!!! I rely on this to get directions while driving - as I am certain countless others do as well - and it is a huge inconvenience not having it anymore. I bet you to please restore it!!!!

Indications vocales
Entre le mode son complet et alerte uniquement il manque un mode trajet/route/autoroute qui indiquerai seulement les changements de direction importants, sortie d'autoroute....

Option to not display the 'route summary' screen when starting navigation.
Having selected a destination on the map and choosing to navigate to that destination, a 'summary' screen is currently being displayed before navigation commences, requiring the user to accept the route prior to navigation starting.
An option to bypass this screen and start navigation immediately after selecting a destination would be a nice addition.1 vote -

Arrival address size and displayed before arrival.
Show arrival address sooner, maybe a block or two away, and also in larger type face... a much LARGER TYPEFACE. It is hard to read the address when driving so, is distracting and unsafe. There is a need to start looking at house numbers to know which side of the street the property is on. Thanks!!!

Add Support for Oval Country-Code Symbols in Visual Instructions
Description:
In many European and international transit corridors, road authorities frequently use the white oval country‑code symbol (e.g., A, D, CH, H, I, SLO, HR) on direction signs, gantries, and even road surface markings. These symbols are universally recognized by drivers and originate from the international vehicle registration codes defined in the Geneva Convention on Road Traffic (1949) and the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic (1968).Because these ovals appear prominently on real-world signage—especially in countries with heavy cross‑border traffic—they are an essential visual cue for navigation. However, in Waze they are currently difficult and cumbersome to reproduce in visual…

Android landscape
When using my Galaxy Note 20 in Landscape mode, the orange notification button overlays the map orientation button on the screen (north up or direction up). When I try to mark a notification, the map orientation flips instead of bringing up the notification page.

Better iPad interface.
The iPad interface is a bit cumbersome to use while driving. I find many of the buttons are too small. I have my iPad docked in a RAM mount next to the stick shift, so its right next to my shift hand.
Different screens appear in different sizes (like the event selection screen is cut in half when reporting a hazard or similar).
Also, display of speed and similar information in the lower right should be larger, much like the turn-by-turn directions in the lower left.
I would also appreciate any prompt buttons to be larger. If the buttons…12 votes -
Make an option to turn off suggested drives please
A lot of times when I’m selecting an address, waze will load one or two suggested drives on top of it and start navigating me there. I’ve driven to the wrong place several times because of this. We already have the “saved places” so it would be nice if we could turn off the suggestions.
2 votesGreat news! The option to turn off Trip Suggestion is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

Kevin 'Bl**dy' Wilson Voicing directions
Hi Team,
As I live in country Australia, I'd love to have one of our icons, Kevin bloody Wilson, giving me directions. He is a bit of a legend in Australia for his comedic songs (although they can contain a bit of sexual content). I feel he would make a great addition to the lineup for us Aussies and I personal would get a good laugh at him!
