The May 2023 release of Waze is terrible. Please go back to the previous version.
Here are the problems I have observed with the May 2023 release of Waze and why I would rather go back to the previous version.
1. It defaults to having a menu open on the left asking where you want to go with the list of your frequent destinations. I preferred the previous version where if I wanted to navigate somewhere it was easy to click the search icon and bring up this menu.
2. The menu of locations has Home and then a list of recent places I have gone. The previous version listed Home and then WORK and…2 votes -
Turn Express Lanes off just like you can Toll Roads
Please Please find a way to turn off express lanes. You did it for Tol Roads do it for express lanes. I turned off my toll road pass to see if it would help and it does not - besides there are times I want toll roads to be an option but NOT express lanes. Every day I head home it only gives me express lane options - I'm not getting a ticket for being on an express lane as a single rider and I'm unable to get around traffic becauses waze wants to assume I'm on an express lane

General feedback/comments
I have a 2018 Alfa Romeo Giulia. I use either Waze or Maps every time I drive. For most of my driving, I don't need any nav assist but I want to stay up to date.
So, for about 6 years, I have been using your app. Here's a brief summary of my comments/suggestions/etc. I do NOT expect anything to change since my Alfa is a non-touchscreen setup. I have to do everything with the rotary knob.
Years ago, you did properly support the capability to make reports. I could do it easily with minimal clicks, without even looking at…

Offset turn instruction
Oftentimes at standard, perpendicular intersections, streets dead-end on one side and pick up again on the other side, offset by just a few dozen feet. For simplicity's sake and for routing, we map a lot of these as plain four-way intersections (like an italicized + sign, you could say).
But this can be confusing for drivers, who arrive at the intersection with no special instruction and yet are forced to almost fully turn right or left. The simple four-way mapping style is appropriate when the offset would still allow a car's width to pass through without turning, but when there…

Android Auto add Camera button
Add a new camera button to Waze when using it via Android Auto.
I've driven past new fixed and mobile cameras that I can't report as there's no camera button on the Waze display on my Audi A8 screen - there is for police, traffic, etc.1 vote -
Add SOS waypoints
Motorways, Highways, and interstate's can be dangerous places to be roadside walking. Display icons at each emergency roadside assistance calling points (SOS Points) for use during breakdowns/accidents/emergencies. This would make it obvious which is within the shortest walk distance so as to avoid unnecessary delays in emergencies.

Lane guidance colour
The current lane guidance in Android Auto is shown such that the 1st line shows the upcoming lanes to take, and the 2nd line shows the next (i.e. then) guidance. Instead of taking up two lines, which takes up space, colour the most appropriate lane (s) in a different colour (green), and the least best lane in another colour (amber). For eg, if the upcoming highway exit is 3 lanes to the right, but the final edit is only the right most lane, colour the 3 arrows such that the right most is green, and the two other arrows in…

New ui for suggested routes is bad
You added a new feature when requesting routs to destination - you added an intermediate display that is not useful but is annoying because you have to make another click to see the routs. I want to add pictures bus there is no possibility in your ui

sonido ante radares
I would like you to implement the following suggestion. I'm contacting you from Spain.
For those of us who have Android Auto in our cars, when we encounter a speed camera, Waze informs us via text on the vehicle's central display. If we're traveling at 80 km/h and have to look at the display for a second, the vehicle travels more than 20 meters. That distance is enough to cause an accident, which wouldn't happen if the warning were audible.
Do you think this is reason enough to incorporate it into the app? I think you should consider it…1 vote -
LANDMARKS / PLACES OF INTEREST / THEATRES / BUILDINGS
Here's what happened last night ... I am new to LA and have been using WAZE (which I LOVE!) for 3 months. It is indescribably invaluable to me! BUT ... last night I was to attend a private screening at the Skirball Centre - I have never been there, didn't know where it was but did have the address 2701 N. Sepulveda Blvd. When I entered this into WAZE on my iPhone, 4 options became available to me. One of these options said Sepulveda, Manhattan (obviously that's not the one I want, I thought ... that will be ... in…

Haptic Feedback
Please add haptic feedback. When I report something on the road, I would like to know from the screen vibrating that I have successfully hit the button my finger was lasted headed towards when I looked away to look back at the road. I have another driving app that uses it and I have found it to be very useful.

Can the name of the street you are on be displayed at the bottom of the map all the time, not just when you have a trip/destination set
Can the name of the street you are on be displayed at the bottom of the map all the time, not just when you are under guidance to a set destination?

Waze client menu not entirely displayed on the screen!
I cannot understand why my Menu popup is not completely displayed on my screen though space is wide enough to accept this (Samsung Galaxy S3 ) I only get the 2 upper rows of icons, but the lower one (Reports, My Friends and Settings) is truncated.As a result, I have to slide the menu up before being able to select "Settings" for example.
Do other users have the same behavior for their client?2 votesHey,
We're happy to share that this idea is already live!
Thanks!

Phone Charging Indication while navigating with app
It would be great to have an icon on the map display indicates that your phone is charging or plugged in while navigating with the waze app. There have been several times while driving and my phone was accidentally not correctly seated in the car charging cradle. I was navigating on battery power and the only indication was when I received a low battery warning notification from the phone OS. This can be very inconvenient when going on long drives or a safety concern when in unfamiliar areas or if one is stranded and the phone has no or low…

Why is the road works warning now a generic ‘Hazard’?
It’s important to give warnings as specific as possible so a driver concentrates on the road rather than studying a screen to find out what’s up. Forcing me to divert my attention to phone or display screen is downright dangerous. Please revert to specific warnings in the interest of road safety.

"Closure" function in iOS app=broken. Engaging CLOSURE displays area map with white arrows that mostly can not be selected.
Selecting CLOSURE from UI on iOS results in a local map. This shows White Arrows and red "-" icons. Unfortunately, often, the user can NOT select on the white arrows to flag the road closure, And the UI is displaying selection of a white arrow when another, not related, white arrow is clicked on. The way it is working now the app CLOSURE function is literally not usable.. It would be very helpful if the APP were smart enough to automatically select a intersection closure based on the information that the suggested and running route was not followed and…

Voice instructions don´t work
Hello,
We wanted to ask, seeming to Android version 6.0.0 and higher, the sound is not working? (Voice instructions)

Add navigation options to the main screen, rather than hidden in the Settings
Add navigation options to the main screen, rather than hidden in the Settings.
I frequently need to check arrival times for navigation where I want to take the motorway or avoid the motorway - but the only way to change navigation options is in Settings, which is a) hard to get into when driving (trying to drive and use my phone at the same time is dangerous and/or illegal), and b) impossible to get into via Android Auto on my car's in-built display.
Having a simple Nav settings option on the main navigation screen - particularly for Android Auto…

I want you to be able to set the period during construction on the computer
In the case of alternating one-way traffic, if you are doing construction here from the app, the display will appear temporarily, but it will disappear immediately.
If you know the construction period, you can set it on your PC and let everyone know that the construction is underway.1 vote
