Please maintain the orientation and zoom set by the user.
Please update the software to have a switch that allows the app to maintain the orientation and zoom set by the user. If the user rotates the map (let's say by 45 or 90 degrees) maintain that orientation. If the arrow is about to go off screen, center it without changing the orientation or zoom.

Request for Full BMW iDrive 7 Integration (Cluster + HUD Support via CarPlay & Android Auto)
Hello Waze Team,
I’m writing as a dedicated Waze user and BMW owner who strongly believes that Waze deserves full integration into the driver’s cockpit — not just the center screen.
I currently use Waze on a BMW G20 330i xDrive (2021, iDrive 7) with the latest versions of iOS + CarPlay and Android + Android Auto (tested on both platforms). At this time, navigation only appears on the main display, while the instrument cluster and head-up display (HUD) remain inactive — which limits driver comfort, focus, and overall safety.
I would like to formally request that Waze enable…

Allow Menu and Report buttons to be hidden or transparent
For screens that can suffer from burn-in, the buttons at the bottom of the Android client are very bright and prominent. While I have been lucky that the burn went away on my stock Galaxy S3, it would seem a nice option to be able to modify settings for those buttons. I would think either a "show on tap", or transparent option would be best. Perhaps also changing them to a darker look when in night mode would help too.

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 am using Waze with Android Auto for a device without touch screen. During nav the focus box stay on magnifier icon and should be on report
I am using Waze with Android Auto for a device without touch screen. During navigation the focus box stay on magnifier icon (search box) and this should be on reporting new traffic incident. It takes me few seconds to roll the knob until reporting and a had to take the eyes from the road. Even if I manually move the focus, after few seonds jumps back on search. It is a little bit annoying, espcially that few years ago was as ok.

As a motorcycle user
Not all motorcycle users have an intercom, and while driving the motorcycle we cannot hear alerts, radars, accidents, police. It would be good if, given these notifications, The entire mobile screen flashes, to visually alert. Dashboard type in MotoGP.

Speed limit/Speedometer
Recent change to the speed limit sign being pushed to the right vs being on the lower left is not working. I have to search for it. Also any alerts covers up the speed icon. Also the left hand part of the screen is useless as everything pushed to the right. In busy traffic conditions this can be dangerous.

Enlarge adress zone
Purple zone for current position is too small between speedometer and POI button. Now my current position is always cut.Place speedometer and POI button higher so there will be an opportunity to make position zone wide as a screen.

Haptic Feedback
Please add haptic feedback. When I report something on the road, I would like to know from the screen vibrating that I have successfully hit the button my finger was lasted headed towards when I looked away to look back at the road. I have another driving app that uses it and I have found it to be very useful.

Sometimes screen gets grayed out after some alert pops up and I become unable to tap and move the map
When an alert pops up, the map gets grayed out, and after it closes out, sometimes the map stays grayed out forever, so it is inaccessible and I cannot scroll it to see the route ahead. The only way of fixing this is by closing Waze, removing the running app from the memory and opening Waze again, and then it needs to recalculate the route.

Change font size on search results
When you enter a search the first summary line is <- Your location (in large font) -> address (in small font) The small font is hard to read (especially for those of us who need glasses for reading but not driving). It makes much more sense to have the "Your location" in small font (or not there at all because it is always the same text) and the desired address in the largest font possible on the screen

Consecutive alerts within a short distance
At the moment, the Waze app provides alerts (such as hazard reports or speed/red light camera) approximately 400-500m away from the location. After driving past the report or camera, Waze doesn't check if there are any further alerts in the next 400-500m and as such, drivers miss out on this information.
An example is at the first traffic light, there is a red light camera, however after turning, the next traffic light (assuming it is relatively close/within 500m) also has a red light camera. Drivers currently only receive one alert for the first red light camera but not for the…

U.K. Motorway Variable speed limits
Is there a way that Waze can receive an information feed of the U.K. motorway variable speed limits?
I am sure this must exist and have the ability to be tapped into.
The M25, is a great example, but there are many more motorways across the country, often have variable speed limits posted on signs above the lanes. These can change depending on the operators and in response to incidents or traffic conditions.
It would be incredibly useful to be able to see on the Waze screen what the current limit is, and to know that it is current.7 votes -
