Android car
Desde la nueva actualización de android car. La visualización del mapa Waze es muy mala ya que los avisos (flechas, sugerencias del mapa) tapan casi el 50% del mapa. La visibilidad es mala. Pueden reducir el tamaño de esos cuadros y fuente. Gracias

You need to give a FUK!
You can make your product safer, if you just gave a FUK! Meaning, "Frequently Used Keys"! I LOVE your product! I live by it when I drive! I report as much as I can to make Waze as accurate as possible!
I tend to report alot of cars broken down on the side of the road. Yellow dot, hazard, car broken, on the shoulder. 4 keys to push to report something so common!?! So why not have FUKs to make reporting easier, quicker, and safer? Whereas, I only hit ONE key to report something I report often?

Let me rearrange hazard icons order how I want them.
Let me rearrange hazard icons how I want them. I live in Texas and road kill should be at the top of my hazard list. Make this option for Apple car play also.

"Not there" option for all incidents on route clickable, not just on alerts
When on route, when there are multiple reports and alerts for police or cars on a side of road it only alerts you of only one, there others sometimes are just missed to click the "not there" option and the alert stays there for others. You should be able to click the report and show the "not there" option all times, not just the like button.

Haptic alert
Hi
I want all speed alerts to be vibrational - via Apple Watch. I need the feature to be active all the time, so when I run out door and jump in car I know I will be alerted every time I exceed a speed limit. I need the vibration to continue until speed is back within limit.
This is essential for a motorcycle rider and I think best option for car driver also, you can be looking at phone or expecting to hear a ph in noisey environment, let alone feel a vib from phone in a loose coat…

Bucharest Oxigen Tax
Hello! Starting with 01.03.2020 in Bucharest comes into force "Oxygen Tax" which prohibits the access of certain cars (depending on the pollution norm) in certain areas of the city. I wanted to know if WAZE will help these drivers in the sense of displaying a bypass route in that area in order not to be fined. Thanks!

Speedometer speeding threshold alert below speed limit
I currently have a blackbox installed in my car for insurance purposes. I would like to be able to set my speedometer alert BELOW the speed limit so I know I am approaching it and DONT GO OVER the limit. The options now are all ABOVE the limit.

Bruce Bochy for Waze Voice
The recent car commercial featuring SF Giants legend Bruce Bochy making an audible 'boop boop' and then giving turn by turn instructions made me very much want him as a voice for Waze. Make it happen.

Flock camera system license plate reader locations
Allow users to map locations of police automatic license plate readers and select routes that avoids them.
The Flock automatic license plate readers are now in over 2500 cities in the United States and track 1 billion vehicles per month per their website. They are able to detect the color of your car, wether or not part of your plate is obscured, if the registered owner has a valid drivers license, is a gang member, known drug smuggler, has an active warrant and other such information. Flock sells these to home owners association's and other private entities besides law enforcement.…

Option to hide "Select vehicle type" button
I stopped needing to use Waze for a while, so I'm not sure when it was added, but one of the "new" changes I noticed right away when using it recently, and that I absolutely hate, is the "Select vehicle type" button that is now ALWAYS visible. That makes no sense. I can't imagine many people are switching vehicle types on a regular basis, and it should be optional so those that are can have it there and those that have no need for it don't have it sitting there being distracting. And even people that do have a use…

Vehicle on left side of highway
Please add an option to report a vehicle stopped on the LEFT side of the highway. Often a Wazer will report a car on the side of the road, but it’s actually against the left wall and it’s confusing and dangerous.

Multiple issues/suggestions
- Alerts/new report - If you touch outside button, report gets cancelled/alert is dismissed without feedback. Difficult to touch buttons accurately while driving.
- Be able to customise reporting section.
- Be able to select areas to avoid (for crime risks or road conditions etc).
- Some saved addresses don't show when searched by saved name, or address.
- No in-app suggestion/complaint/report system. And no email responses to issues reported. This suggestion/complaint platform is unnecessarily complicated. Reporting issues, and receiving feedback should be simplified to an in-app section.
- When you report multiple road issues (eg. Potholes) within a short distance, they're not shown separately to…

More icons for existing report types
Currently many of the icons displayed on the map are shared across different reports, this means the driver must tap them to find out what they are (if they do not pop up automatically) eg. "Car on shoulder" and "object on road". This is frustrating when some warnings are fairly insignificant and others more serious, like my previous example. Additional icons would allow drivers to understand the reports at a glance with no extra taps required when issuing a report.

Hello. I think it would be good to have full functionally on Apple car play. It is rather when a road is closed you have to pull over. Unpll
There needs to be more functionality with Apple car play. It is very annoying when there is a closed road and I can’t get waze to re route without stopping. Pulling over, unplugging my phone and then reporting the road closed. I have also had a couple of annoying times where I have been unable to pave without having to jump through the same hoops.

Hot keys on the map screen
Have the ability to choose and add as hot keys to the map screen things like, car on shoulder, police, debris in roadway are examples... make them configurable to your most common choices... Currently while driving it takes 3 different clicks to post about a car on the shoulder, or debris in the road......hot key buttons set on the side of the screen Would help keep the eyes on the road and ensure post are made in time about the hazards..

When "Lock North up" is set in settings, the car is too low on the screen and it's hard to see things when turns take you below the screen
When "Lock North up" is set in settings, the car is too low on the screen and it's hard to see things when turns take you below the screen. So when heading east and a south turn is coming, you can barely see what's next. Would be great to have the car closer to the center of the screen.
