Waze locks up on Pixel phones
Waze constantly locks up on Pixel 7, Pixel 6 and previous Pixel 3aXL. Locks up on phone as well as on Ford Sync display. Google maps work fine. Wish Waze would work. Tried to send from my phone, but Waze just freezes up. It will load on occasion but doesn't work for long.

Add the sailboat car icon back!
Their was a sailboat icon you could have in the map display under “car icon” and it very well suited the boat I’ve been driving on the road. I think that it should be added back. It also made it so I have no icon on my map since it was removed.

Viewing Alternate Routes
Bring back the ability for users to view alternate routes on their phone. Right now I can only view alternate routes using my car display. Why? I often want to plan my route before getting in the car. Why are you forcing users to be in the vehicle to plan their route?

A new application for messengers and their employers to optimize their working time and in addition to display data for the employer and the
Hi, what's going on? My name is Shahar and I have a business proposal for you. I came up with a genius idea that will bring you a lot of money. It goes like this.

I LOVE THIS APP. Needs greater visability.
A single tap to the top or bottom text box could open a large text box (full screen) with the info contained in the text box when tapped. That LARGE TEXT box should display the information that was tapped. It needs to be visible for about 20 seconds. A double tap should open the information currently displayed with a single tap. The Audible.com app does this well.

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…

Balões
Os balões com nomes das vias atrapalham muito nas conversões. Ficam na frente da Seta e muitos vezes entregamos em curvas erradas por conta disso, e os alertas ocupam muito espaço no display do aparelho.
Deveria seguir os esquemas de GPS clássicos, com mais detalhes das vias como indicação de mão e contramão (setas)1 vote -
Search Content
When performing a search for say a general business name such as "Walmart", allow for travel time to be displayed with the search results. It currently seems to only support distance when trying to find locations of a business.
The closest location is not always the fastest. Many factors such as accessibility, traffic, speed limit can make a closer location take much longer to get to. Please allow for current travel time for those who would drive a little further if it can save time.

Choose which side info boxes appear when using android auto
Hello!
So, the info boxes that show turns and warning only appears on the left hand side of the screen when using Android Auto. This means I have to glance further to see the actual map / route that I'm taking, which seems less safe, as I am driving on the left.
It would be great to have an option to choose which side to have the actual map and info boxes display, as people are using both right and left sides of the car when driving.
Changing the side in Android Auto settings itself does not affect this.…

Show health information (e.g. bloodsugar) on main screen
As a person with type 1 diabetes, it is important to monitor your blood glucose levels, even for parents who have a child with type 1 diabetes in the back seat.
Most common blood sugar monitors are freestyle libre from abott and the g6 from dexcom. They have interfaces that allow to "follow" the current meassure values.I would like to see these messages displayed on the navigation screen, so a Type 1 driver (or parent) can monitor his condition without looking at an app on his phone.
Task: Please allow access to these interfaces and disply the data…

Displaying gas station icons on the map while driving / navigating
Hello,
I have a few wishes / suggestions.
1. Displaying gas station icons on the map while driving / navigating. I like this on Sygic navigation, if it navigates you, for example, on the highway, not only do you see gas station icons, but it is possible to turn it on to show you the next gas station or perhaps a rest area directly on your way. So you can see, for example, that the next gas station is MOL 45km away.
2. Entering fuel prices at gas stations via android auto.2 votesGreat news! The feature to see the gas station on the map is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.
You may also check the help article on how to set preferred gas stations.
Hope you like it!

AVOID WARNING OF NEED TO TURN THE LIGHTS ON WHEN THEY ARE ALREADY ON.
When using via Android-Auto, the vehicle's lights status is already recognized for switching between day and night display mode. You can use this knowledge of the lights status to avoid warning of the need to turn on lights when the lights are already on, and alert only when they are switched off.

Automatic unit selection based on location/country.
Suggestion for Automatic Speed Unit Switching in Waze
A pop-up window should appear when crossing into a country that uses a different speed unit (km/h or mph), allowing users to switch without interrupting navigation.
For example, I drive in the UK, where I use miles and mph. When I enter France, which uses kilometers and km/h, Waze could display a prompt:
“Would you like to switch to km/h?”
This would let me change the unit instantly instead of stopping navigation and digging through the settings menu.Alternatively, Waze could switch automatically based on location or offer a setting with options…

Essential + Limited voice navigation during phone call
When making phone calls in the car, voice navigation can be highly distracting, yet it's still important to have critical turn-by-turn navigation when you're headed to an unfamiliar destination.

Limit WAZE ads when turns are coming up
In an unfamiliar area with many turns, WAZE ads prevent you from seeing where you're supposed to turn, particularly on interstate interchanges where lane selection is important. I keep having to swipe the ad off the map when I should be paying attention to getting into the proper lane. The current ad display is actually unsafe.

Day / Night detemination in New Zealand
Day / Night / Auto mode observation: I am in New Zealand. I have noticed that the waze iOS app thinks that it is night time until 12noon when Waze suddenly realises that it is the middle of the day and that it should really be displaying day time mode.
This suggests to me that the algorithm associated with determining day/night time is not properly considering timezones.
The apps should be taking local time, and only local time to determine day/night mode. And allowinging in sunride/sunset should be region sensitive.The fact that it currently changes at 12noon does…

You need another subheading in hazards
You should add "hitchhiker" under the hazard- roadside heading. I passed 3 today. One of whom was staggering along the roadside. And under hazards IN the road there should be slow driver.
I don't recall seeing that.3 votes -
Change route colour
You recently changed the colour of speed cameras on display from green to blue, and if you use the dark mode, like I have always done, the route colour is also blue, and therefore the speed cameras are barely visible! This is total nonsense! Please allow to change the colour of the speed cameras or the route.
