Have Android auto function like apple car play
When you connect to apple car play you can see the upcoming turns on the phone. When Android auto is connected Waze doesn't let you see anything on the phone and says to do everything on the car display. This is frustrating because there's no way to see past the next upcoming turn for android auto.

Make car (default arrow) icon smaller and look more like an arrow
The arrow icon is too plump and can barely discern the direction it is pointing at a glance. Shape needs to be more defined and apparent, also could be a little smaller.

PLEASE stop routing people on minor roads
Please stop routing people on minor roads like Norwich St in Milwaukee! Our small, quiet road now has tons of traffic that it never had before (I've been here 20 years) and that it wasn't designed for, to the point that I might look into whether we can get speed bumps, especially since most of the cars are going WAY over our 25 mph speed limit. Keep people on the major roads that were designed for more traffic and that have higher speed limits, please.

Sound output in a new iOS version not working
Please fix sound output in a new iOS version: Bluetooth/phone speakers. Sound is set to phone speakers, but goes to Bluetooth after recent update. I listen to the radio, not Bluetooth (bt is on for phone calls and the car is connected), as a result I do not hear Waze sounds - missed turns, missed notifications and trip alerts.
Please fix it, this feature was so useful while working :)
Thank you!

Battery Saver always on
Option to have battery saver always-on by default. It's a poor user experience to have to set this manually for EVERY journey for those that want to have the battery as high as practitable before exiting the car and/or save their OLED screens from burning. Not everyone uses a charger in the car. And most phones use OLED screens.
'Automatically turn on' is there as an option, but it waits for battery to become low before kicking in, which rather defeats the object of saving battery (it's too late if it's already become low!) and meanwile you risk burning the…

Place report in different place than current location
I wish to have an option to report police on the road but I want to set the point (like few kilometers behind not where I am currently). In my country there are radars on the road, installed in civil cars, but the police stop you after 4-5 km later. Even the other participants report the police there is not helpful because you already was registered by radar.
So, an option to mark it later will help the other people to avoid that radar.
Thanks!

Use geo coordinates of my location from the moment I tap the “report” icon when in the car (CarPlay)
Would love it if Waze would use geo coordinates of my location from the moment I tap the “report” icon when in the car (CarPlay).
Waiting until I’ve submitted my report places the icon well past the location I intended to mark.

Adding a maximum speed for adapting maximal speed roads
Hi,
In Belgium and the Netherlands (and probably other countries too) we have adapting maximal speed signs on the highroads (and on soms other roads too). In case of trafficjams or accidents they lower the maximum speed on that road so you don’t get extra accidents and jamms (other people that go faster and slower on the highway etc).
It would be handy to have a button on the ‘report screen’ to set a new (temporary) maximum speed for that segment while you are in your car so that other people can see it, your maximum speed is properly indicated…

Waze speedometer is reading less than (<8 km/hr) the car speedometer.
Waze speedometer is reading less than (<8 km/hr) the car speedometer.
Is there any calibrating feature to correct the speed on the mobile screen display?
I am sorry, if this is a problem for my own mobile phone.
Thanking You…1 voteWith high probability this is not an issue of the mobile phone or app, but the issue of the car speedometer.

NO EMERGENCY VEHICLE ACCESS!!!
Take Point Richmond, California OFF the map re-route!! Our streets are many decades old and very narrow. Residents blocked in and emergency services blocked out. I am very concerned as the frustrated, MISGUIDED cars become idling, polluting, revving logjams outside our homes!! Our police are patrolling and ticketing illegal and dangerous drivers.

Blacklist police
When there are multiple police reports in the UK in one area it usually means there is a police checkpoint, recently there have been more in my area however me and my friends noted that the police also use waze themselves and press “not there” to remove warnings other waze users have put so that people do not realise and have to go through the whole headache of getting checked. A couple of ways around this could be that you require multiple different users to press “not there” before removing from the map or if a user has been stationary…

Waze car icon display fix
When using Waze with iPhone 14 PRO on Sync 4A in 2023 Ford Edge and a route is selected, the car icon is cut off on the bottom of the screen when using AppleCarplay wireless and the Sync screen is set to the large display. Please have it shift a little more upward as to not cut off part off the icon showing where your vehicle is on the road.

Ride share directly from car's screen
Great app! One thing you should consider to add, a functionality to share your ride directly form car’s screen (CarPlay in this case); is very off hand to start a ride and if you want to share it with someone, you have to go back to your phone to do so.

CarPlay volumn
Hello
I am so grateful that Waze now works with CarPlay on my new Mercedes E300. I noticed that Waze will reduce the volume of other apps on my iPhone, so that I can continue to hear the other app in the background as Waze provides navigation.
However, Waze appears to connect to CarPlay via the car's navigation volume control while other CarPlay apps connect to CarPlay via the car's entertainment volume control. Consequently, CarPlay stops other audio while Waze makes navigation announcements.
Nice would be a optional setting in Waze for how the app connects to CarPlay, via navigation…6 votes -
Waze data as legal evidence
It is frustrating when vehicles are being operated unsafely and there doesn't happen to be a police officer to witness. Yesterday as I was driving down a busy NY highway 4 motorcyclists were doing wheelies, tailgating cars and weaving in and out of traffic. In the absence of a police witness perhaps a certain number of hazard reports from Wazers, including offender's license plate numbers, might be sufficient evidence for law enforcement to pursue charges against drivers creating hazardous conditions. Has anyone considered this? Thank you.

setup actions for use by trigger (app)
I use an app called trigger to start waze when I get into my car. It allows actions to be executed on apps. (Eg for music player it can start playing music, stop playing etc) Would it be possible to set actions that allow actions to be executed by such programs? Simple things like start navigating home/work/close?
