Points ticket no longer working on latest Blackberry version
On the Blackberry, the latest version (2.0.2.3) no longer shows the point ticker when collecting points. When you look under View My Points the New Points section is blank. That said it still does seem to be counting new points just not showing them anywhere.

Add option to resize the screen allowing to see all members of a team in special color 4 better view
This option will allow a member of a team to see in a much more easy way, where are the other members of his team.
Another side of this option, could be a live interface on web,... where a member could see the others members of a team.3 votes -
have client generate text file of all unallowed moves while driving to view on computer
I know the system technically does this automatically but I was thinking today as I was going through the cartouche fixing every intersection in my hometown, how it'd be handy if the client generated a text file showing all the things you did that you "shouldn't" have. Almost every intersection in my area has restricted turns that simply don't exist (it's a small town, there's only one turn restriction and no one ways, so i realize this is easier than most) but I was thinking it'd be handy if I could open a txt file generated by the client that says "Turn from First street to Main street not allowed in cartouche". This would then make it much easier to know what intersections need fixed and what ones don't. As I said, I know the client does this automatically, but it also requires repeated input to confirm it's not any number of errors that can occur, but I thought this would be a handy for us that are vigilant map editors.

Avoid School Zones
"Avoid active School Zones" like the avoid toll roads & ferry option. Due to decreased speed regulations “when children are present”, avoiding school zones could help drivers make better decisions on route choices, seeing as schools start/stop dates vary depending upon your area.

En carretera muy difícil localizar los íconos ya Ke están no tan Visuales y a veces necesitas hacer dos movimientos lo ideal se
Cuándo viajas en carretera es difícil localizarlos íconos, a veces hay que buscarlos deberían de estar más a la mano más Visuales, ya que te metes en uno y te lleva a otros creo que más íconos y con una señalética diferente te pierdes y a veces ya pasaste por el accidente o la indicación que quieres dar

Rendre le guide vocal un peu plus bavard
Depuis que la nouvelle fonction "moins bavard" est apparu, j'ai mis "normal"
Mais j'ai remarqué que le guidage vocal est moins bavard : j'ai pris la route dans le nord et il y avait une bifurcation (route en type Y) : waze ne m'a rien dit. C'est dangereux : je préférais quand il me disait "prenez légèrement à gauche..." plutôt que ... rien.2 votes -
Quick Travel Mode Switching for Users with Multiple Vehicles
This feature has already been suggested by the Waze community, and it appears to be a recurring request from multiple users since years. However, there does not seem to have been any update or response regarding its development.
Context
I use Waze both as a car driver and as a motorcyclist, so I regularly switch between different modes of transportation depending on the trip.
The problem
Currently, changing the travel mode is not quick or easily accessible. To switch from car to motorcycle, I have to navigate through several menus and access the settings to change my vehicle.
This is particularly inconvenient for users who regularly alternate between multiple vehicles. The need is quite simple: quickly tell Waze which vehicle I am going to use for my next trip.
Proposed solution
I suggest allowing users to configure the different modes of transportation they regularly use in their profile: car, motorcycle, bicycle, etc.
For users who only have one mode configured, nothing would change.
However, when a user has multiple modes configured, Waze could display a quick selection pop-up when opening the app, for example:
Which vehicle are you using today?
🚗 Car | 🏍️ MotorcycleThe user could then select their preferred mode with a single tap, and Waze would use the appropriate navigation settings.
This pop-up could be enabled or disabled in the settings, giving users control over the feature.
It would also be useful to have this selection directly available when searching for a route, particularly when planning a trip scheduled for later. In this situation, a user may plan a trip several hours or even days in advance without yet knowing whether they will travel by car or motorcycle. Being able to select the travel mode directly when planning the route would avoid having to change the settings later.
Goal
The goal would be to make switching between travel modes possible in one or two taps, while keeping the current interface unchanged for users who only use one mode of transportation.
I believe this would be particularly useful for people who regularly use multiple vehicles, especially drivers and motorcyclists.
Thank you for considering this suggestion!

Don't Popup the "Would you like to enable voice control?" during navigation
During navigation a prompt will pop up asking to enable voice control. This covers the entire screen and doesn't go away until interacted with. In many countries it's illegal to touch your phone while driving. This has essentially rendered waze useless for me and I've had to go back to google maps.

stop changing routes
Please add an option to disable Waze from changing your route as soon as you start driving, I specifically choose routes that are a couple minutes longer as I hate certain roads yet it’s useless as as soon as I set off Waze has already changed my route and put me back onto the way I didn’t want to go, this is really frustrating and definitely the worst part of the app

Navigation
I would like to see more details at tricky intersections and exits, or be able to zoom in even further, so that I can better see which direction to drive or which lane to take. Especially in busy large cities, it can be difficult when there are many side roads and exits.
Greetings Av Dot, a big fan for many many year 😊

prefer simpler route to shorter
please add a setting "savings in minutes that matter to you" and if a simpler route or a route without toll would take less than my setting, select it by default

I would like waze to inform me when the speed limit changes.
When traveling on local roads, the speed can change from 55 to 35 and driver doesn't realize that the speed changed as the local road doesn't indicate that it is a small town. Some sort of indicator that the speed limit changed would be helpful.

CarPlay UI improvements: Cross-street names on map and proactive visual alternate routes
I would like to propose two purely visual UI improvements for Waze on Apple CarPlay, specifically designed for drivers who prefer on-screen cues over voice alerts:
- Real-time cross-street labels on the map: Please add a feature or setting to display the names of upcoming cross-streets or major intersecting roads directly on the CarPlay map layout, rather than only showing the name of the next turn. This helps drivers maintain spatial awareness and quickly recognize familiar local alternative routes via visual landmarks.
- Automatic HUD/Map indicators for alternate routes and faster recalculation: Finding alternate routes in CarPlay currently requires manual taps through menus, which causes driving distractions and experiences a slow recalculation lag. Waze should automatically draw faint gray/transparent alternative path lines directly on the map when approaching major avenues or heavy traffic zones (e.g., highlighting options that avoid stoplights or dense pedestrian crossings). If a driver decides to take one of these visual shortcuts on the fly, the app should snap and recalculate instantly without frozen screens or delays.

Option to remove "Work" button
Like many others who work from home, are retired, or aren't working for other reasons, I don't have a work address that I navigate to. Please add the option to remove the "Work" button from the Android app UI, so it stops using valuable screen space. The two spots where it's most annoying are the "Work" Saved Places button and the "Work: Set once and go" listing at the top of the search screen.

It seems like a button is needed to indicate a pause so we can get fuel, get food, or brief detour without a lot of static from the mapping
This may have been asked and answered before, sorry. On every trip when I pull off to exit to a fuel station or food stop I get so much rerouting instructions trying to get me back on the road. It seems like a button is needed to indicate a pause so we can get fuel, get food, or brief detour without a lot of static from the mapping and voice instructions. Why is there no native way to easily indicate I am having a brief stop ALONG my route, NEARBY, that sometimes crosses a road or bridge out of the planned route. An easy button is needed to calm the system from going into massive REROUTE when I just need to stop at BUC-EES for some fuel and snacks. Is that something we have that we cannot see on the map? Can someone make that happen?

Map view on dash screen
When driving my 2026 Chevy Equinox there’s a capability to look at the map directly infront of the screen behind the wheel. When you do this the little box notification of when to turn is directly in the middle of the map so if you are trying to look at what the intersection looks like it’s completely blocking the incoming intersection which makes it difficult because sometimes the visualization of the intersection or ramps to the highway is helpful and necessary. Can the little notification box be moved where it is out of the way of the incoming streets?

change shape or proximity of the alert pop up choices to make it easier to hit with a finger
Concerning the pop-up's for alerts: for example when one comes up for a car on the shoulder. The two choices are imprinted on two horizontal bars that are very close together. I find that sometimes although my finger is going to "still there" because the choices are horizontal bars and close together, a small deviation in the car caused me to miss and hit " not there". A suggestion therefore - why not have the choices a different shape, i.e. circular, and separated in a way that mitigates this issue ? I like this app by the way.

Average-speed zone UI and stationary camera voice alert
In landscape mode the vertical green bar for distance to an average-speed zone disappears. Keep it visible in landscape.
Show time of entry into an average-speed zone and the earliest allowed exit time, so the driver can judge speed to the exit.
Add a short voice alert when approaching a stationary speed camera. There is none today.
Thanks
