use Iphone screen to display speedometer/speed limit when in carpay mode
When in apple carplay mode, use the iphone screen to display the speedometer/speedlimit in full screen. Pehaps as a third tab next to the directions, notifications tab. With the phone in a cradle close to the steering wheel this avoids having to glance to the far right of the main car screen to see the actual speed limit.

Police warning
Hi. I think it will be good if the warning for police can be set to higher volume or other kind of warning that can take our attention better. And maybe have an option so that the screen of your phone turns red when there is police nearby.

The "Keep Waze always on display" no longer available on Android phone (it worked for a while). Why is it gone? Google Maps allows this.
The "Keep Waze always on display" is no longer available on my Android phone (it was working for a while). Why is it gone? I want to see the navigation screen by waking up my phone but without having to unlock it (which is dangerous while driving). Google Maps does this, and Google owns Waze.

Option to toggle turn on/off fade music on alerts/notifications/Turn-by-Turn
I use my phone (Android) as a Media Center on my car, it controls the audio and video on it. I play music using it, and the fade function is nice, but I like to use the waze with cellphone soundspeaker's instead of BT and, even so, my music through BT have this terrible fade-off on alerts/notifications/Turn-by-Turn speak.
Please, consider an option to disble that, so we have a choise to use or not the fade-of on music.
Thanks!

problem!!!!Missing Section Controll Speed cameras !
In a lot of European countries you have speed-control via section-control, means:
the avgerage speed is measured of a certain distance by taking picture of car when entering and leaving the measuring section.
Unfortunatly currently you can not warn other users of such controls.
On contrary, such controls are only posted as stationary speed-control when entering, which is very misleadingI drive every day Germany swiss...500+ miles track . ( I deliver pockets)
I dont know why but the waze app doesnt sows for you the speed cameras / radars in swiss ,also no option to add this to…3 votes -
Incorrect mark spot
Sometimes when we encounter police or accident, it takes time to get to the phone and load the app to mark the spot. Most of the time, we mark it about 2 miles after the actual spot. I suggest to edit the mark forward or backwards to ensure accuracy. Also adding cancel button when adding the spot.

Bring back the old speedometer position (bottom left corner)
With the latest update, the speedometer on the mobile app has moved from the bottom left corner to the center of the bottom edge of the screen. This new position is distracting and interferes with map visibility, especially when checking upcoming turns or traffic info.
The previous placement in the bottom left corner was much more intuitive and out of the way. Please consider giving users the option to choose the speedometer position, or revert it back to where it was.

Map doesn't load properly on iOS 13.3 with CarPlay
With Waze for iPhone and CarPlay running iOS 13.3, Waze fails to load the map correctly. Either the map appears blank, or extremely zoomed in and low resolution (because it's zoomed in much more than it's intended to be). I have to use my phone to force quite Waze one or two times before I can get the map to appear correctly. This needs to be fixed, because if I was caught touching my phone in the car while closing the Waze app, I would be given a big ticket for using my phone in the car.

Background version of waze to voice alert on speed cameras when routing suggestions is not needed
In most of the cases you know the driving route and you don't need waze for suggesting routes. but it's very helpfull to get voice alert on speed cameras on the way.
I suggest to take that feature in waze and make it a standallone version that runs in the background (without the need to open it, or to display path, progress etc' which is battery consuming).5 votesYou can turn Waze to Alerts Only mode and keep app in the background – audio notifications about upcoming alerts will be provided.

Navigation
Hello,
Would it be possible that when navigating, the overview of the route with arrow and all traffic jams and speed cameras etc, this arrow moves dynamically and shows how far away the arrow is from the construction site, speed camera or traffic jam? This works very well with the Sygic app. I think that this feature would help many drivers to get a better overview. Thank you4 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Turn On/Off Avoid Freeways in CarPlay
Would like a way to toggle on/off avoid freeways in CarPlay. When driving locally many times I would prefer to avoid freeways even if technically they are a little closer/faster. It would be helpful to be able to do this on CarPlay rather than having to open the navigation settings on the phone.

Add a brightness control to compensate in app for night driving and sunny days
At night I find my phone screen is to bright to have running, I alter this using the brightness in phone settings but this is a long winded excessive, would be better to have an in app slider or on screen button to control brightness or a 3 finger drag say up and down the screen would be amazing. This would work in the opposite during sunny days when a greater backlight is required.

"Open in Waze" - modify the Waze code so a user can click and hold on an address and be given the option to "Open in Waze" for navigation.
"Open in Waze" (or "Navigate to in Waze") would merely allow the user to click and hold on an address in their phone and be given the option to open the address within Waze itself.
A user currently can open an attachment in an email in numerous different downloadable programs. The same is true for address which currently default to the Maps app. It would be nice to see the same integration with Waze.
Then, whenever a person receives a text, email, or other message with an address within it, the user would be able to click and hold on…

while travelling, what we need is real time alerts on our mobile and also on FM radio
I have 2 ideas to improve WAZE
While travelling, the passenger vehicle driver needs alerts on his/her mobile and also on FM radio, This can be made possible by tapping the mobile numbers of the drives when they start travelling. As soon the vehicle engine is started, via blue tooth the driver mobile numbers should get integrated with the passenger vehicle GPS system. This will enable drivers to get automatic alerts w.r.t to traffic jams, accidents etc. The radius of the alerts should be sent to vehicles which are in the radius of 1-2 miles. Km as this will enable…

Report Traffic lights in Android Auto
The button to report faulty traffic lights is already in the mobile version of the app. Can we please get it ported over to the Android Auto version? At any point in time at least 30% of South Africa's traffic lights don't work and it would help many users if a few of us could report from our car displays.

Vibrate Notifications
Give the user the option to turn-on "vibrate notifications" in addition to voice. Many times when driving I am distracted talking to a passenger or listening to the radio and miss a turn.
It would be great if my phone would also vibrate. I would like to have this option for police notifications as well.
If this were an option, then those that don't want vibrate notifications don't have to use it.9 votes -

Send a text message when delayed and/or shortly before arriving
Waze can send twitter-messages, but with the new APIs in iOS4 it could send textmessages (SMS) as well. When entering a destination for routing, one could also select a mobile phonenumber (of the person we are driving to) so that significant delays are reported automatically to this person. Also, waze could send a SMS some minutes before arriving at the destination. This comes really handy when you want to pick someone up!
When I say "automatically" - I mean that Waze pops up a dialog that you only have to confirm.

Missing an option do disable volume ducking of other apps
Using Android phone.
While driving, I listen often to audiobooks (or music) via bluetooth from the phone.
Waze is configured to play the instructions via phone speaker.
When waze plays instructions, it forces ducking the volume of other playback. (starting a few seconds before til a few seconds after)
That's very impractical. Because of this behavior I miss the portions of sentences of the audiobooks. (That's meaningless, since I can regulate the volume of bluetooth playback and speaker playback independently.)
There needs to be an option disable audio ducking.
Thanks6 votesGreat thinking! The issue you raised has been addressed in a recent redesign. Hope you like it!
