Voice Hazard Reporting
This would be extremely helpful to be able to say what a hazard is instead of having to touch the screen while driving which causes you to look away from driving.

STOP 180° car rotation when standing still
So I come to a stop light, and after a while, my car and map (not the screen) rotates, I guess, as it thinks I actually did make a U turn. Problem is my speed is 0km/h. It happens even when you have a destination to navigate to, and then, all of u sudden, I'm turned around and I'm being shown to make first to the right. I start driving, the whole thing rotates ones again, and I miss my left turn !?!?! I think it's because it get's a satellite position which shifted a bit, so it thinks…

Audio apps on carplay
Youtube Music, Spotify, iHeart Radio, etc. have integrations with the waze app to show current track info on waze, I'd like to see that track info displayed on waze when using Apple Carplay.
I'd like to see both navigation and track info showing on the Carplay screen, either through the carplay dashboard screen, or inside the Waze app

Voice Activated Reports
Being able to add a report by voice would be a more rapid, accurate and safer way to add a warning. For example, just saying "Waze...add POTHOLE" would be all that's needed, rather than press buttons on screen - which is dangerous when driviing. Also, using the screen takes time so you have often driven past the hazard once reported.

Make map zoom buttons on CarPlay always be visible.
Currently, in CarPlay it takes several clicks in different locations of the screen just to get the map zoomed in/out just one step. Since the zoom buttons are so frequently used, please consider making them hot buttons (alway visible on the map). Seems silly to have to hunt down through the UI to find the zoom buttons, and that could be a safety issue as well.

Bugs in the new version
After android auto/waze was updated to the latest version, I see many bugs there:
1) When I disconnect the phone from the car, application remains working on the phone. In previous version it wasn't the case;
2) Hey google is not working anymore on the new version. On older version understood voice commands;
3) New black squares on the screen hides half of the route? Why have you added them? Maybe it would be better to add it to transparent box?
4) If you enjoy the current layout, maybe the user can choose, which layout should stay on his screen…5 votes -
Display photo from user report in popup
In the client, reports can have photos attached, e.g. a photo of the accident or roadworks site can be attached to the report. The photo is displayed on the waze website in the live map.
However, when other phone clients receive the road report, the photo is hidden and hard to display.This is a request to display the photo attached to the report maximized on screen for 5-10 seconds (together with a "report abuse" button) for hands-free operation of the client.

Alert pop-up on car screen - add a dismiss
Example: red light camera in x feet
The only options are to say "thanks" or "not there". I just want it to go away so I can see the estimated arrival time. Without this option, there's no way to obtain accurate feedback. I just select one or the other so it goes away without knowing which is accurate.

Sound Navigation
One of my favorite things about Maps is when I'm in route to my destination and I want to here what my next step in my direction is that I can tap the screen and here the lady tell me what to expect next whether I'm .2 miles away, 1 mile away or 5 miles away from my next turn. With Waze If I'm driving and want to hear what my next turn is I have to wait for the app to choose when to vocally acknowledge what I am to do next. I would like Waze to have the…

Auto removal of notifications of police etc
When the pop up comes on the screen it should automatically go away once you pass the locations. Having to touch the screen takes your eyes off the road

Let user know where congestions and accident are.
Would be nice if when chosen a route to see where the congestions and accidents are before pressing GO. It could be possible through the screen where the whole route is presented by pressing the ballons.

Display the ratio of alcohol/gasoline prices for flexible fuel cars...
Most flexible fuel cars present a 70% ratio between gasoline and alcohol fuel economy. Displaying this number on the fuel prices screen would allow drivers to better decide between which one of the fuels to use.

User coud select correct lane
In my country (Brazil), there are many places with Express & Local lanes running side by side.
In that case when Waze makes the route and the traffic changes quickly, I decide to choose a different lane (for exemple express instead of local), I wanted to be able to "touch" the screen and select the correct lane, so Waze could re-route and show me the rights options to continue my route.
2 votesGreat news! Lane guidance feature is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

Keep present location on map screen at all times
When I supposedly arrive at my destination the Waze app and map "resets" to an obscure location miles away. The map view must remain where you are so you can see the roads around you. I missed the entrance to my destination and my navigation shut off (as I had 'arrived') and reset to a place miles away. I then proceeded blindly to find my way back to my turn and got lost in the process. The map needs to show where your vehicle is at all times! It used to be that way and something changed, for the worse.…

Version 4.0... put me back in the middle of the screen. Currently in this version it centers me at very bottom of map.
If you select keep north up and your route is south you can see very little.

Absolute black display
Most of the iPhones from 10 and above have OLED displays, they can save battery on absolute black color, also at night it’s less distracting, and there’s less screen burn. A minimalistic night display with absolute black will be amazing feature. Also add a function that refreshes the screen on iPhones to reduce screen burn. Thank you

I suggest that the traffic reporting button, at least in countries where driving is on the right side of the road, move to the left side of the screen which is closer and more accessible to the driver.
