  1. 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…

  3. Next action on directions

    Right now, depending on the what the next action is, the upper left corner overlay can be four or five lines, obscuring the map underneath. My suggestion is that overlay is collapsed to the the first line (i.e, 'right turn, 5.6 mi) until you get close, say two miles, when the rest of the information would be displayed.

  6. Warning notification

    Can you please move the box that appears to warn you of a speed trap so it doesn't obscure the speed your driving at/speed limit indicator. Or move the speed indicators to the top right hand area of the display. Thanks!

  7. Show variance in traffic report icons on map.

    There are 3 levels of traffic, but only the "heavy" icon displays. The user has to click on a traffic icon to find out whether it's moderate, heavy, or complete standstill.

  8. Change option speed limit /speed penalty

    in europe I travel through many countries. Each country has different speed penalts. it would be good to have a chance change the speed limit to the value of the penalty, for example, if my speed is 150, it's not terribly. but when my speed value is 400 € for a penalty then I better slow down.it is good for Young people . they have no sense and no money. and it's best for safety. at maximum speed an alert is displayed ,,, withdrawal of driving license

  9. State name on the map

    I recently used Waze on my CarPlay on a multi state trip and at no time I knew which state I was in. It would be a good idea to indicate the state's names somewhere on the display as you travel through them

  12. Alastair Duncan- Mimir from God of War

    Mimir is the Irish accented head that talks you through your entire journey in both God of War 2018 and God of War Ragnarok. His voice is fantastic and would be great as a voice just like Master Chief

  13. Trip Suggestions on Android Auto Waze

    When I bring up Waze on my car's dash screen with Android Auto, Waze displays a list of trip suggestions. This only started happening within the last month, prior to that it did not do this.

    I would like to disable the auto-display of trip suggestions when Waze on Android Auto starts up. There should be a user selectable setting to do this.

    I find it really annoying since 99% of the time I do not need Waze guidance to drive where I want to go, and manually closing the list each time I start the app just…

  15. Get rid of the Junk!!

    Lyft driver here. Real simple!! Get rid of shit that blocks the screen! Photos? Do you think I'm a tourist? Send someone ETA? WTF this phone and this app are for my convenience not theirs!!! The pop up that asks "Oh is this where you are going?" NO SHIT!!! Why don't you then ask, with a pop up that blocks the screen, Are you sure? OR, BETTER YET!

    How about every time I want some basic information like "I need to turn left in 20 feet " why don't you have the drivers answer a trivia question OR play a…

  16. fade out old road traffic instead of not showing at all

    at the moment I can only see recent traffic reports, but not those that were reported for example 20minutes ago.
    It would be much more helpful if the client would always show the latest reported road traffic status.
    the color could be faded out over time to indicate how old a report is.
    the client should offer an option of the maximum age of reports that should be displayed and if a wazer reports that the road is free again, then the old report needs to be removed.

  17. Validity of high stamp

    Hi, do you plan to add the option to set the validity of the highway stamp? A notification could be displayed before the end and would be automatically removed after the deadline, so navigation would no longer lead to toll roads without signs. Thank you

  19. Add support for government emergency alerts (cell broadcast integration) to notify drivers entering affected areas

    As a Waze volunteer editor, I’d like to suggest integrating a feature that uses official cell broadcast emergency alerts sent by governments or national agencies (such as AMBER Alerts, severe weather warnings, or public safety alerts).

    The idea is simple: when a Waze user drives into an area where a cell broadcast alert was recently sent, the app could display a notification or short message about it — even if that driver didn’t originally receive the alert on their phone because they were outside the area at the time.

    This feature could be extremely valuable in real-life situations, such as:…
