BMW idrive 7
Dear Waze Team,
I am a dedicated Waze user and BMW driver, and I would like to raise a feature request that I believe would make Waze significantly better and safer to use in BMW vehicles: proper integration into the instrument cluster and head-up display.
I currently use Waze in a BMW G42 M240i xDrive, model year 2021, equipped with iDrive 7, Apple CarPlay, and the latest iOS and Waze versions. While Waze works well on the central CarPlay display, navigation instructions are not shown in the digital instrument cluster or in the BMW head-up display. This means that important guidance, alerts, and turn-by-turn information remain limited to the center screen.
For everyday driving, this is a noticeable limitation. BMW’s native navigation system already makes excellent use of the cockpit and HUD by displaying guidance directly in the driver’s field of view. This is not only more convenient, but also safer, because the driver can keep their eyes closer to the road instead of repeatedly looking over to the center display.
From what I have seen, BMW vehicles with iDrive 8 have recently started to receive support for this kind of enhanced Waze integration. That is a very welcome development. However, many BMW drivers are still using iDrive 7, including owners of relatively modern vehicles such as the G42 2 Series. These cars are technically capable of showing navigation information in the cluster and HUD through BMW’s own navigation system, so it would be extremely valuable if Waze could support this functionality as well.
I would therefore kindly ask Waze to consider extending full cockpit integration to BMW vehicles with iDrive 7. Ideally, this would include turn-by-turn directions, lane guidance, next manoeuvre information, speed-camera alerts, police warnings, hazard reports, and other relevant Waze notifications in the instrument cluster and, where supported, the head-up display.
This would be a major improvement for BMW users who rely on Waze because of its excellent real-time traffic information, community alerts, police reports, and speed-camera warnings. At the moment, many drivers have to choose between Waze’s superior live data and BMW’s better cockpit integration. Bringing Waze into the cluster and HUD would remove that compromise and make Waze the obvious choice for many premium-car drivers.
I would be very grateful if you could forward this request to the responsible product, automotive integration, CarPlay, or Android Auto team. It would also be helpful to know whether support for BMW iDrive 7 cluster and HUD integration is already being considered, tested, or planned for a future release or beta program.
Thank you very much for your time and for continuously improving Waze. I genuinely hope this feature can be brought to iDrive 7 users as well, as it would make a meaningful difference to comfort, safety, and the overall driving experience.

Add Waze Support to Samsung Now Brief
Many Samsung users use Waze as their primary navigation app, yet Now Brief only shows commute information from Google Maps.
Waze often provides more useful driving information through real-time reports of traffic, accidents, hazards, road closures, and faster alternate routes. If Waze is set as a user's default navigation app, Now Brief should be able to display Waze commute data as well.
Adding Waze support would give users relevant travel information from the app they actually use, making Now Brief more useful and personalized.2 votes -
FIX the CarPlay map disappearing after driving for a few minutes
First off, it's infuriating that PROBLEMS can't be reported on the Support page.
The CarPlay map disappears after a few minutes of driving. All the control buttons remain, but the moving map is just a white field. This is a failure that makes Waze absolutely useless on CarPlay. This problem started with the latest iOS 5.19.1.0 version of Waze.2 votesThanks for reaching out.

Serious CarPlay Bug – White Screen When Selecting Alternate Routes
Hello Waze Support,
There is a serious and long-standing bug in Waze on Apple CarPlay that makes alternate routes completely unusable.
Every time I select an alternate route during navigation, the entire Waze screen turns white. Once this happens, the app becomes completely stuck and cannot be recovered from within CarPlay. The only way to get Waze working again is to disconnect the phone from CarPlay and reconnect it.
This issue occurs consistently and is fully reproducible. It is not an occasional glitch—it happens whenever an alternate route is selected.
Because of this bug, I can no longer use one of the most important features of Waze. The alternate route function is effectively broken on CarPlay, making the app unreliable and frustrating to use while driving.
This problem should not exist in a production release. A navigation app becoming completely unusable simply because a user selects an alternate route is unacceptable.
Please fix this issue as soon as possible.
Thank you.

Customizable UI Layout and Quick-Access Report Widgets
I'd like the ability to customize the Waze interface by relocating, resizing, hiding, or rearranging on-screen widgets and buttons to better fit individual preferences and driving habits.
For example, certain reports such as "Vehicle on Shoulder" are extremely common on my routes. Instead of having to tap the Hazard button and navigate through multiple menus, it would be much more convenient to allow users to create customizable quick-report widgets or shortcuts for frequently used reports. Small, movable on-screen buttons could provide faster access while reducing distractions and making reporting more efficient.

Announce a speed camera even when not speeding
This was apparently added in a recent update but it does not work or it hasn’t been added. It would be good if waze announced a camera was coming up even when you are not speeding
Please add or fix!

Options for economical routes / shorter distance routes
It would be good if waze did something similar to google maps where it shows you the fastest routes but also shows you a more economical route that may take a bit longer but saves distance or saves fuel a bit.

Easy Customization for Speed Bumps
Speed bump alerts need a direct, easy-to-find customization toggle rather than relying on a "familiarity limit" based on driving days. Without clear control, frustrated drivers constantly report already-mapped speed bumps, flooding the map with duplicates update requests and creating unnecessary cleanup work for editors.

Cancel the waypoint option (not the whole trip)
At the moment adding only 1 waypoint is possible. On android auto, pressing "x" removes the whole route. It doesn't even offer the choice of canceling waypoint or cancel the whole trip.

התראה על רמזור שעומד להתחלף
כאשר נהג נמצא במרחק סביר מהרמזור, והרמזור ירוק ולא ניתן לדעת אם הוא עומד להתחלף אז שתהיה התראה שעל הנהג להאט כי הרמזור מתחלף לאדום וכך להציל חיי אדם, למנוע תאונות, ולהפחית עברות תנועה.

Smart Routing for Buses and Trucks - A Must-Have Feature for Waze
Hello Waze Team,
I would like to suggest adding a dedicated navigation mode for buses and trucks, with routing that takes large vehicle limitations into account.
Today, Waze is excellent for private cars, traffic updates, and real-time navigation, but it can be very problematic for buses and heavy vehicles, especially in Israel and particularly in the Tel Aviv area.
Many streets are extremely narrow, have sharp turns, low clearances, weight restrictions, or are simply not suitable for large vehicles. As someone who works in tourism and frequently travels with tourist buses, I have personally experienced situations where Waze directed our bus into streets or turns that were physically impossible to pass.
More than once, we got stuck in a narrow turn with vehicles both in front of and behind us, and it took a very long time and significant traffic disruption to maneuver the bus out safely. These situations are stressful, dangerous, and avoidable with vehicle-aware routing.
It would be extremely valuable if Waze could allow users to define:
Vehicle type (bus, car, truck, RV, etc.)
Vehicle height
Vehicle width
Vehicle length
Vehicle weightAnd then use this information to avoid:
Narrow streets
Low bridges or tunnels
Roads with weight or height restrictions
Tight turns unsuitable for large vehicles
Roads prohibited for buses/trucksIn addition, in Israel there are certain lanes and roads designated specifically for buses that Waze currently does not fully utilize or prioritize in routing. Adding support for public transportation and bus-priority infrastructure could significantly improve navigation efficiency for bus drivers.
I believe this feature would greatly improve safety, reduce traffic incidents, and make Waze much more useful.
Many professional drivers currently use a second navigation app alongside Waze because of this limitation. Integrating these capabilities directly into Waze would be a major improvement.Thank you for considering this suggestion.

Add a setting for text size on map
On the 5 inch wireless bluetooth display on my bike, I can't read street names because they are just too small. If there was a text size adjustment that would help immensely.

Distance Reticle
It would be very helpful on the Waze app to have the option when scrolling away from your current position to have a marked reticle Displayed in the center of the screen and an arrow pointed toward your location with two numbers by the reticle. One for distance as the crow flies and another noting the driving distance to that reticle location. Thanks.

Add a new alerts feature for usual police radaring spot
Add a program that would collect all the data from reports of where police are and use the information to display “usual police radiating spots” or something like that. Whenever I pass a police car on the road they are always in the same couple spots everyday and everyday I report them being there through Waze. It would be nice if through Waze when I’m a mile away from that usual hangout spot for police if it would notify me “Usual police radar spot” that would be helpful.
