Fewer taps to make a report
When using CarPlay (or even my phone when I'm the right-side passenger), to report a vehicle stopped on the side of the road I must tap the orange "Report" circle, choose "Hazard," "Shoulder," "Vehicle Stopped." In CarPlay, when driving that takes my eyes from the road at least four times to identify/locate/push the appropriate button to make the report. Rather than spelling out the words for each part of the notice - perhaps readily identifiable icons could be "stacked" under the headings. As with "QWERTY," there are gestures/reports most often used that could be located in priority locations on the…

Search button placement and exit sign size
1.The search button is on the right side of the display where most of the world drives on the left, most of the time I can't even reach it
The name of exits don't appear and the number is sooooo small I can't even see
Recent places visited have disappeared as well and show up randomly

Add distances to next POI
Audi Nav system has a really useful widget on the display showing how many miles/kms to the next POI along the route you have selected. By way of an example I found it really useful to be able to glance at the screen and see that the next service station was 3 miles away and the one after was 30 miles. This could be used for a variety of POIs and you could go as far to also add fuel/charging points and the prices of fuel at those areas. The key part of this idea though is that it considered…

Constantly display on the map the roads that are painted red in order to avoid traffic jams based on the driver's knowledge of the roads and
I would like to address something that really bothers me about the service, and I think I really miss seeing the traffic congestion and traffic jams on the map at the same time, especially while navigating to my destination on the alternative routes that are possible for me to take, so that at any given time I can calculate a route and navigate to try to avoid traffic jams and congestion. Since when I want to see the current situation, there is no way to see if there are traffic jams and traffic jams on the routes, and I cannot…

option for automatic bug reporting
When waze displays a message that it has encountered a bug and asks me if I would like to send it the timer is very short and I often cant tap OK in time while driving.
It would be great if there was a setting that allowed the user to select "always send bug/error reports"

A better way to identify logs
Let me add one suggestion about logs:
When sending logs from the app, in order to report a bug, name or mark them with a unique identifier and then display that identifier in the final message to the user. In this way we may make a screenshot and tell you exactly which log we sent.1 vote -
HUD Distance Rounding
For cars with HUD/secondary display on cluster, the distance to next turn is always rounded. (15.8 miles show up as 16 miles, 12.4 miles show up as 12 miles)
This make sense when the distance is further away (over 10 miles), but when we are closer (< 10 miles), the rounding could be confusing. For example, 1.4, 1.3, 1.2, 1.1, 1, 0.9, 0.8, 0.7, 0.6, 0.5 mile all shows up as 1 mile, and 0.4, 0.3, 0.2, 0.1 mile show up as 0 mile (until unit switch to feet).
The rounding should be disabled (or switch to round to tenth…2 votes -
Variable Speed Limit Camera Audio Cues
Hi, based in the UK here.
When a user drives in a variable speed limit zone on a motorway in the UK, Waze thinks the speed limit is 70 mph all the time when in fact the speed limits can be changed from anywhere between 20 mph and 70 mph.
These variable speed limit zones have several speed cameras that can detect speeding for a variety of speed limits.
When navigating on Waze, when approaching a speed camera the audio cue for alerting to speed cameras does not play when driving within the speed limit shown in Waze, only when…

Leave by
I suggest a "leave by" time as an option similar to the "arrive by" times displayed under the "leave later" when route selecting. For example, if I plan to leave at precisely 4pm (currently 320pm) it would display how long it would take and change as I scrolled through 430pm, 5pm, etc. I haven't seen anything on that yet, unless I missed it. Thanks for the user friendly, simple app, keep it up!

ETA Color
I think it would be very useful if Waze could display the ETA in different colors depending on the traffic conditions, similar to what Google Maps does. For example, green for light traffic, amber for moderate traffic, and red for heavy traffic. This would make it easier to quickly understand the driving situation at a glance.

Hi! I think it would be nice if the live map in the browser would detect the current time and display the future hours according to it
Just like it is now in Google Maps. In the way that the Waze live map in the browser works can lead users to misunderstanding. Someone searching for the duration of the trips can think that the first options are PM, specially if he is doing it close to midday and assume that the next options are PM
1 voteThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Hello I turned to you before about this and thought the new message view painted in black on the top of the screen.
Why leave the black color.
This hides the space map. Especially when the machine is horizontal.To select right or left enough a small section of the screen.
Or at least be faster so you can see the map in the background.
Signage-display green as in roads and other applications probably not allowed to do. You will find something similar.In addition, a quick view. There is more speed.
Better speed check drive the same road…2 votes -

Show Forward and Reverse Route Options with Distances on Two-Way Roads
I would like to suggest a feature that could enhance user experience when recalculating routes on two-way streets. The idea is that, upon initiating or redefining a route while the vehicle is stationary on such roads, the app would display indicators both ahead and behind the vehicle. These indicators would show the distance and estimated time for both directions, allowing the driver to choose the most efficient route. For example, if proceeding forward results in a 3.5 km journey and turning around leads to a 2.8 km route, the user could opt for the shorter and quicker alternative.
I believe…

Bisognerebbe rendere tutto più flessibile e possibile varie opzioni di scelta!

Why is waze demanding my date of birth?
Waze displayed a screen demanding my date of birth while I was driving and using it for navigation. This screen cannot be closed and reappears when Waze is restarted. I consider this both an unwarranted invasion of privacy and more importantly HIGHLY IRRESPONSIBLE of your programmers to make this occur while the app is in use in a moving vehicle. I have used Waze for many years and recommended it to many friends and colleagues. I am now however being forced to stop using Waze unless I comply with this unwarranted data demand.

Turn off Gas Stations Option
Need the option to turn off the display of gas stations on the map.
I live in the city where every exit have several stations. My Map is full of Gas Stations and its hard to see any advisory because of the clutter. If I am on a long trip and need to find a station, then I should be able to turn this feature on.

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.
