Let users add speed camera locations
I noticed with the newest update that you omitted letting users update red light/ speed camera locations from the app .. not sure- why but I’d like to petition you to please add it back ..... we here in NYC are getting bombarded with cameras that have nothing to do with driving safe ( not near schools - hospitals etc) they are just another way for this city to take money from its hard working overtaxed citizens..
143 votesSpeed camera and red light camera locations are only managed via Waze Map Editor.

Navigate to a saved place using voice command in android with google assistant
Navigate to a saved place using voice command in android with google assistant on Samsung S22 phone. For example, if I have a friend named Jim and enter his address as a saved place in waze and name it "Jim". Then shouldn't I be able to open waze and say: "Ok google, drive to Jim". When I do that now, google assistant responds with "Sorry I don't understand". Isn't that a pretty basic functionality? Am I doing something wrong? Thanks!

windows phone app NEEDS voice command feature!
Waze is supposed to be hands free, however, for Windows Phone users, there is no voice command feature available! That means it is Not hands free... Please make an update to allow Hands Free Voice Commands available for all users to keep driving safe for everybody.
38 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may already know, Waze is no longer supported on any Windows Phone device and is not planned to be supported in the near future.

Thanks/Not There
Instead of having the alert (example “Vehicle Stopped) and then the two options (Thanks / Not There)… you should have Thanks on top, the alert in the middle, and not there on the bottom. This will reduce accidental misreporting. We’re trying to drive and can’t stare at the screen. Help us help you. 😀

Android Auto - Arrange Display based on left or right hand drive and Icon Size and Speed
To save the person stretching to the other side of the screen to click an icon. If you have to stretch to reach it may impact your driving direction, and how long you need to look at the screen for.
For me the Reporting something panel appears on the non-driver side.
Adapt the screen so that icons you click on are always on the drivers side.
When half screen mode, you can not report anything anyway, so consider also making, bigger icons and going through two panels may also be better.
The screen should also indicate the…

food place near me
while driving from vermont to NY, i asked for food in my area, we were still in vermont, it only showed food places 200 miles from our location, it would be great if it showed place within 20 miles of our drive, instead of 200 miles away.

Please can you allow integration to move around the icons for Music and Speedo on the map
Be able to move the speedo around. I understand this varys on left or right hand drive options. But just being able to move it around will be great. The music for spotify/apple music would be great too

Multiple work, home, school, daycare, … destinations
Please add multiple primary destinations. Many people have more than one Home or Work destinations, or drive regularly to School or Daycare. Maybe make the list open ended and add special icons for these other choices.

The new “road shield” symbol reduces text legibility
New “road shield” symbol means the font size is reduced making it harder to read whilst driving. I’m a UK user. The road number is now shown in a box with a smaller font than it was previously. Please revert back to the previous, larger font size

Navigation avoid freeway is buried too deep add a choice for both to appear in routes as in Los Angeles always getting on and off freeway
Navigation is buried now I need to drive street or freeway all the time. Have a choice for freeway and street routes to appear when starting the app going back and forth is cumbersome and difficult if I need to leave freeway. Or bring choice to one click instead of three or four.

Long distance routing
I use Waze frequently around town and short trips, its GREAT! I also travel longer distances and Waze will not allow me to setup a route for those trips. Google Maps does, so it is certainly possible. Id love to be able to use Waze for this. Currently I run both simultaneously but switching back and forth while driving is dangerous.
65 votesGreat news! Long distance routing is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

Improve brightness using Android Auto with MyLink. Waze Brightness does not decrease and causes unsafe driving for the driver.
Improve brightness when used in Android Auto. Waze's brightness - even in night mode - is so great that it causes unsafe driving for the driver.

enable Navigation while AVOIDING "RED ROADS"(roads defined as such by authorities/NGO's). Red Road = higher probability for an accident.
Nation wide, the safety level of road infrastructure reflects budget constarints, professional considerations-mistakes etc.
Government as well as NGO's e.g. Or Yarok(Israel) monitor accident rates(as well as severty) per LOCATION.....
Thus it is possible to rate certain roads/junctions as RED - being more dangerous, based on hard statistics.
Most of the drivers are NOT aware of above(i.e. that they can drive to their destination with significantly lower accident risk) and would probably be happy not to RISK their families and hence chose an alternative, safer road.
Regardless of the fact that it would require longer driving.Such measure would…

Add a 'record my route' button, you can then forward your ideal route to another wazer
We all have our preferred routes, (example) it is so nice to give away your country adventure route to a friend and share the best views, rides and sceneries to the perfect holiday location. Just press the 'record' button and afterwards 'save route' and 'share route'.

Fixed speed circle could be bigger
Hi. I think the fixed circle that shows the maximum speed of the road on Android Auto could be bigger! Its really difficult for me to see the maximum speed of the road and I need get closer to the car display, what makes it dangerous while driving.
Thanks.95 votes
