Restore list of "destinations" when using Voice commands while driving.
Prior to update, while driving I would be able to say a destination name, and if there were multiple results, I would be able to select the one I wanted. Also it allowed me to verify Waze found the correct destination.
This functionality has been removed for some reason.
1) It doesn't always get it right. There are many times when voice commands misheard the destination. The ability to verify exactly where I asked to go is essential.
2) Using Gas/convenience store as an example: I used to be able to say WaWa and it would give me a list of WaWa's which are local to where I am. Since not all WaWa's have gas, I need to see the list of them before I choose the one I want to navigate to.
3) Walmart: Not all Walmarts are the same, some are super centers, some are Neighborhood markets.
4) Sometimes I'm at one location's store and need to go to another locations store. This is an issue when it doesn't show the list especially when there's multiple in the same town/city.
The loss of this functionality has made Waze unreliable and unuseable.

Latest version Release 4.94.0.3 Doesn't Work Correctly on Non-Touchscreen Android Auto
This version requires you to use the central rocker controller to switch to the side menu.
Once in navigation, the back up button brings up the command to hit it again to stop navigation, rather than backing up to the Android Auto menu.
You are stuck in Waze unless you move hands from steering wheel.
You should be able to switch to the side Android Auto menu to bring up another app whilst still in navigation and by using the steering wheel buttons like before - exit navigation should be by selecting the X button.
Speed limit alert also gone.
Getting to saved places is also tricky and not intuitive, the big box just has recent places and also covers up ETA etc when reporting a hazard ahead.
Behaviour exactly the same in 2021 TTS and 2018 Q5This version requires you to use the central rocker controller to switch to the side menu.
Once in navigation, the back up button brings up the command to hit it again to stop navigation, rather than backing up to the Android Auto menu.

Legyen szöveges irányítási hibajelzésre lehetőség! Pl. Dagály Strandfürdő címe helyett az Árpád híd felhajtóra irányít fel.
Legyen közvetlen hibabejelentő lehetőség, ahol leírható, hogy milyen irányítási hibát tapasztalunk. Például a Dagály Strandfürdő címe Budapest 1138, Népfürdő u. 28-30,helyett, az Árpád híd felhajtója feléig vezet. Ezt egyszer javították már, de a legújabb update során újra egy hibás változatból indultak ki.

Routing Error
I live on Park Lane in Jamaica Plain, MA. It is a short dead end street. We get many dozens of cars turning onto it every day thinking they are turning onto Peter Parley, which is cut through. They discover it is a dead end after they are midway down, they turn around with difficulty then often speed back up the street angrily. Our street has quite a few young kids living here often playing in the street. These fast drivers present a real hazard.
People who have stopped to talk to us about it report that as they are approaching the intersection on Walnut from the north they get a prompt to turn right at the next intersection onto Peter Parley. But the next intersection is actually Park Lane. The prompt needs to say, " Go through the next stop sign, then turn right onto Peter Parley."
Please, please , please correct this problem before we have a tragedy here!!
Thank you!

"Bread Crumbs" feature
A way to keep where we have been before displayed on the map like what Garmin has on their nav units. This is handy for instance when driving into large residential neighborhoods where everything looks the same

Implement route bar for traffic on route
Would like to see a route bar (or something similar) that would show traffic on the route. TomTom utilizes this and its extremely helpful, showing traffic with estimated wait minutes while in the traffic. Waze currently might show its traffic icon up ahead but not on the entire route so users can plan, see and/or adjust.

Disable query to driver of potential traffic/slow down when entering tunnel
GPS is commonly lost when entering tunnels. The app should disable asking the driver if they have encountered traffic and a slow down if the driver is in a tunnel.

Points notification opt out/personalisation
It would be safer and better to be able to opt out of the points notifications or modify when you receive the points for down time in a trip, rather than receiving them in the thick of driving. They are distracting. It is dangerous to have something so unimportant distract you from the focused task of driving in the same way as emergency alerts and traffic notifications.
Personalisation of which notifications to receive how and when is critical to ensuring user safety in Waze.

Apple Play in car
When connected to apply play, you do not have the option to notified cops on the other side and you do not have the option to say no turn allowed due to event or construction. Those options are only available when not connected on Apple Play. It’s frustrating because the same options are not available on Apple play connect. So I end up flagging the map as you cant turn at all then you guys email me and tell me what’s the error on the map. Well, the error is you can’t turn because of construction or an event but that option is not available.

Would be nice to be able to have waze reread the current next direction ahead at the tap of the icon. See details below...
Let's say you are on a busy highway and you're listening to music, forgot what the direction has read aloud. Instead of having to look down at the map and read "in 1.2 miles stay in the second to right lane to exit 52 for i-295 south" it would be great if you could tap the directions that are your very next ones in the top left box and have it reread them out loud. Less time looking at the screen so it's safer and you can listen to them as many times as you want if you're forgetful.

Address links don't work when connected to Android Auto
The integration with AA continues to be frustratingly limited by the insistence upon making the mobile app unusable while connected.
After recent updates, I find it nearly impossible to navigate anywhere of I'm driving and connected to Android Auto. When I use the voice search, it correctly identifies what I asked to search for but then lists no results. If I tap an address link from my phone (ie: from a Contact detail view) and open the link with Waze, this integration has broken down and the address never gets passed through to the head unit. I can't search for anything using the deck while in motion because it disables the keyboard. So, basically, if I'm in motion and need directions, the only locations Waze will allow me to navigate to while connected are my presets for Home/Work and my most recents. For anything else, I would need to pull over.
This isn't practical; it's a horrible user experience; and it's unlikely to be the solution most users will opt for.
The silly "safety precautions" of limiting interaction on the head unit and doubling down by disabling interaction with the mobile app come from what I would imagine are good intentions: don't encourage distracted driving. My argument against them, though, is that you aren't mitigating that risk: in fact, you're increasing it. People are much less likely to pull off the road just to select an address they already have listed on their phones. They're more likely to simply disconnect AA, let Waze work properly to start navigation, then reconnect AA. Your insistence on making the interaction more tedious and frustrating to use while driving only creates more of a distraction while users are forced to spend even more time not focused on the road.
Please fix the passthrough so that Waze, while connected to AA, can successfully receive an address and start navigating to it while driving.
Also, please stop trying to force good driving habits and general behavior on users and stick to making your app work as great as possible.

User interface is very awkward and unfriendly
It's impossible to report construction on the shoulder which sometimes includes flag men controlling the flow of traffic. There were 2 instances today where we would have reported this kind of activity.
