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.

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.

Keep present location on map screen at all times
When I supposedly arrive at my destination the Waze app and map "resets" to an obscure location miles away. The map view must remain where you are so you can see the roads around you. I missed the entrance to my destination and my navigation shut off (as I had 'arrived') and reset to a place miles away. I then proceeded blindly to find my way back to my turn and got lost in the process. The map needs to show where your vehicle is at all times! It used to be that way and something changed, for the worse.…

Show the sleep button on all screens.
It’s too hard to scroll back to sleep- map stays on unless it’s disabled and will drain data and power. Make it easier to turn off.

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.

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

Distance
When CarPlay is in tiled mode (where it shows what song is playing and Waze only has half the screen) Waze shows me the ETA and the minutes remaining—distance remaining is left off due to the smaller screen real estate. Since I can derive time remaining from the ETA, how about showing distance remaining instead? So instead of:
10:31am 42 min
show:
10:31am 35 miles3 votes -
More search suggestions on the app
There should be more search suggestions on the app. When I search, I swipe down on the screen but would like to see more search results.

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.

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.

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.

Allow me to save custom incidents so that I can just quickly choose them.
Most of mine are the same...
vehicle on side of road
police
fog
Allow me to save custom reports that I can select by selecting a custom saved icon to do the report. I could save in the main report screen without out having to make 5 choices to report the same report type of vehicle stopped side of road3 votes -
Future turns display
It could be beneficial to have future turns displayed on the screen. Sometimes there would be a right turn shortly after a left turn and it causes me to miss my turn just because I wasn’t aware of the follow-up turn. Having a few future turns displayed would be useful for drivers navigating in smaller roads where there could be many turns.

Waze in Android auto new version not showng full screen
Hello
I use waze a lot with android auto.
In the latest Android auto they add new feature with two widget below the waze navigation window. It is impossible to remove it with waze. On the other hand with google maps it works ok and when you duble press the google maps logo it remove the widgets. It will be nice if you update waze for android auto. Thanks1 vote -
Be able to view a summary list of delays and congestion
Have a menu option to be able to view at a glance the delays and congestion on your route. Whilst it's ok to see there are delays on the "Go" screen you can't easily tell where they are or how they will affect you.

Including the allowed speed in the vocal warning for speed camera's or trajectory control woud be a great feature.
Also a bigger actual speed and allowed speed indicator, one at the left and the other one at the right bottom of the screen woud increase usability.
