Burn in Screen
I am using Waze everyday in my car however; recently I have noted that the waze interface is causing my AMOLED screen to show a shadow screen of waze even while I am in other apps. I was wondering if the waze display screen items location can be changed randomly on an occasional basis to avoid such issues on the phone screens. I informed some of my friends and they found same issue on their phone so we are forced to reduce usage of this app as much as possible to avoid severe damages to our displays. Thanks for your…
3 votesThank you for your suggestion!
The Report button was designed to be noticed while blending in and it’s important to keep it as is.
However, we will revisit this idea when working on Dark mode, in the future. Furthermore, since this is a physical issue that OLED phones suffer from in different apps, we recommend to use Battery Saver mode to allow your display some rest from bright colors that might lead to this dysfunction.
Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram. -
Integrate Qobuz with Waze.
Qobuz is a top choice of music streaming services for audiophiles, yet it isn't integrated with Waze. It's a PITA to change apps while driving.

Let users add speed camera locations
I noticed with the newest update that you omitted letting users update red light/ speed camera locations from the app .. not sure- why but I’d like to petition you to please add it back ..... we here in NYC are getting bombarded with cameras that have nothing to do with driving safe ( not near schools - hospitals etc) they are just another way for this city to take money from its hard working overtaxed citizens..
148 votesSpeed camera and red light camera locations are only managed via Waze Map Editor.

The new “road shield” symbol reduces text legibility
New “road shield” symbol means the font size is reduced making it harder to read whilst driving. I’m a UK user. The road number is now shown in a box with a smaller font than it was previously. Please revert back to the previous, larger font size

Add integration with Geocaching.com
Add the ability to automaticly find caches along a route. A feature to get the most caches AND Waze points in X number of miles driven would be a fun driving adventure.

yellow box junction cameras
In London these are everywhere, my friends and neighbours have all had one at a particular junction in Richmond, and when I reported it the Map Editor said they dont do this-

Long distance routing
I use Waze frequently around town and short trips, its GREAT! I also travel longer distances and Waze will not allow me to setup a route for those trips. Google Maps does, so it is certainly possible. Id love to be able to use Waze for this. Currently I run both simultaneously but switching back and forth while driving is dangerous.
65 votesGreat news! Long distance routing is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

Fixed speed circle could be bigger
Hi. I think the fixed circle that shows the maximum speed of the road on Android Auto could be bigger! Its really difficult for me to see the maximum speed of the road and I need get closer to the car display, what makes it dangerous while driving.
Thanks.104 votes -
enable Navigation while AVOIDING "RED ROADS"(roads defined as such by authorities/NGO's). Red Road = higher probability for an accident.
Nation wide, the safety level of road infrastructure reflects budget constarints, professional considerations-mistakes etc.
Government as well as NGO's e.g. Or Yarok(Israel) monitor accident rates(as well as severty) per LOCATION.....
Thus it is possible to rate certain roads/junctions as RED - being more dangerous, based on hard statistics.
Most of the drivers are NOT aware of above(i.e. that they can drive to their destination with significantly lower accident risk) and would probably be happy not to RISK their families and hence chose an alternative, safer road.
Regardless of the fact that it would require longer driving.Such measure would…

windows phone app NEEDS voice command feature!
Waze is supposed to be hands free, however, for Windows Phone users, there is no voice command feature available! That means it is Not hands free... Please make an update to allow Hands Free Voice Commands available for all users to keep driving safe for everybody.
38 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may already know, Waze is no longer supported on any Windows Phone device and is not planned to be supported in the near future.

Android auto - missing setting
Om android auto user interface there is no posibility on change route option: "avoid/not avoid toll roads"
Very interesting because when you are driving maybe you want to change it easily.
30 votesHey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not right now, since we finalized our plans for 2023 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
Android Auto Proected is a major focus for us in this year, and we encourage you to read more about it in the Android Auto forum for updates and latest releases.
Thanks! -
Add a 'record my route' button, you can then forward your ideal route to another wazer
We all have our preferred routes, (example) it is so nice to give away your country adventure route to a friend and share the best views, rides and sceneries to the perfect holiday location. Just press the 'record' button and afterwards 'save route' and 'share route'.

Feedback on routes
After a drive I would like to give feedback on the navigation. I would log in to a web site, find my route, view on a map and then be able to click and say "Here, Waze said 'At the roundabout, take the third exit' but it should have said 'At the roundabout, take the third exit and then keep left'". I have many cases where there is room for minor improvement like this - but too minor to be done while driving.

Notifications on screen that divert my attention while driving.
when I get started a black box pops up with drive ideas and while I'm driving it constantly pops up with useless info. I'm beginning to watch my screen more than the road now. Audio cues are the way to go, I don't need my screen calling my attention to a radio while I'm driving. I'm sure a lawyer would love to sue you based on this so at least give me a way to stop the messages on screen.

Add Dam/Lake percentage on the water
When you drive next to a dam/lake, add a % of how full the dam/lake is. This will be a cool feature in South Africa as we are living in a country with very little water.
Maybe use the following link to add the levels
