Service for stuck cars
As you know, cars are stuck for all kinds of mechanical / human reasons. Because of the experience and amount of users you have and you can ask the same users the same way with the Reflection Is the vehicle or figure in this place, at points or free. Notice that the technical service works when the car is picked up by the tow or some more time the car arrives to give service (Gat Taksi).

On Screen Button Size
Android Auto on Ford F150 8.2" display. Buttons for "still there" and "not there" for reported hazards have a height to width ratio of about 0.16. Very difficult to press correctly as the finger moves up/down with vehicle movement. Button is too narrow.
Suggest that the "there" "not there" buttons have a H to W ratio closer to 1.0. Same screen space will be occupied, but buttons will be much easier to press.

Update this with a real GPS view map!
Love this app but can't fully replace my gps navigator with it just yet. I do a lot of deliveries and when driving without navigation, a real GPS device will say on the top of the screen upcoming street also if u are somewhere and don't know where u touch your vehicle it shows u the closest address by u. This is a safety feature... Please add! This app only gives u the hundred block

Toggle Carpool on and off when using Android Auto
Once the phone is connected to the vehicle, there is no way to easy toggle on and off the carpool. As a parent that drives the kids to and from school, I constantly go from single person to three people, and if I do not remember to change the settings before plugging the phone, I cannot toggle carpool off and off. I need an easy way to toggle carpool on and off when in the Android Auto.

New update not working as intended
2017 vw jetta, andriod phone for waze, since the newest update, I am unable to use touchscreen sections located near the corner of the screen, ie, reporting button, center button, exit button, or zoom in and out. I use my phone on my other vehicle, 2020 vw tiguan and it works fine. Also, the new black info sections are awful and make it very hard to see the full map. Please verify the data mapping for vehicles with smaller screens, or move the functions to allow for touchscreens to work correctly as it had before the latest update.…

Emergencies vehicles in actions
My suggestion is to add a “special” feature and has to be developed carefully: to have in clear in the waze map the warning about trip position of “emergency cars in action”
I mean: for police, ambulance, fire truck,… only when in action (sirens on and flashing lights on) a “red flashing dot” appears in the Waze map during their route
Me, as car driver, can be informed about it and modify my actions in order not to hinder their actions and to give them space
Main intention is not to track them, especially police cars, but during their actions…1 vote -
change speed bump to traffic calming device
There are many different devices used to slow vehicles other than speed bumps. Other examples include chicanes, roundabouts, splitter islands, entrance treatment, speed pillows, speed humps and intersection humps. I'm sure there are others too.
The speed bump permanent hazard would fit all of these other types of methods used to slow vehicles down but if we add a speed bump where there technically isn't a speed bump we confuse the wazer and likely will generate unnecessary URs.
If we changed the name from speed bump to 'traffic calming device' (my suggestion), we easily fit all these slow-down…

Emrgency vehicles
When driving, waze allarms me for cars on the road banks, speed trafic cameras policeman ahead hazards etc. Also I can see other wazers on the map.
With my windows closed, if there is an imergency syren yelling by, I often fail to locat the exect location and direction of that ambulance/ police or fire fighters. I think I am not the only one feelling so.
So.If all the emergency units on the road wil be on the waze, it will prompt the souranding driversv for rheir existance and exact location on the users maps.
That will help us…1 vote -
Bad directions in Iowa
Used Waze to travel to the Paramount Theater in Cedar Rapids Iowa. The directions were NOT SUFFICIENT. We drove around looking for the venue for about 15 minutes before we gave up on Waze and just parked the vehicle and walked. I know this is not the correct place to report this problem, but the reporting methods suggested in "Fix a Map Issue" were not working. I guess I'm just too retarded to use Waze.

Hide ‘Where To’ in Map View
When you have the map displayed in portrait mode the ‘Where To’ pop up box commands a large part of the screen. I often use the map just to display current and surrounding area not in route navigation mode.

Option to add Places and Gas prices
The Option to add gas prices and places when stopped on Android auto. Currently, I have to stop, turn my vehicle off and wait for my phone to stop trying to recconect to andriod auto, then I can open waze and add the place or gas price. I can do the same when I am stopped and looking at the gas price or the place but not when I am connected to the car.

Speed Light Camera, Temporary Speed Trap, unmanned Police vehicles need ability to add these
With road construction going on around the nation, it's unfortunate that we still do not have the ability to add speed light cameras, or temporary speed traps that are common here in PA through construction zones. There also seems to be an increase in unmanned police vehicles sitting behind the k-rails running speed traps. It would be nice to have the ability to alert others. But also would be better if it was the same interface as it is for the police so save time digging through options looking for the one we want while on the road.

The "Preferred fuel" should contain EV charging standards too (ChaDeMo, CCS, etc) and list EV chargers if set :) Thank you!
The car menu already provide relevant info if you set your preferred fuel, but it's only for ICE vehicles. Please add option for EV's, and if set, provide chargers as relevant information.
Thank you!6 votes -
Why is the cat so big

Truck drivers distort the measured speeds. If they were treated separately, WAZE would be much more accurate.
It may be that there's no interest in optimizing the app for vehicles over 3.5 tons, such as motorhomes, trucks, buses, and the like, but drivers of precisely these vehicles still use Waze because Waze is simply one of the best navigation apps. However, these typically much slower vehicles distort the average speeds of users determined by Waze, so it would certainly make the app much more accurate if users could enter their vehicle data, such as weight and size, so that the data can be assigned accordingly when collecting the returned data. In return, truck drivers…

Total number of vehicles and mean speed, both in real time, for every street AROUND A USER SELECTED POINT.
I would like to get, for a project, the traffic density in real time of each street or highway. In other words, what I need is to get a number, instead of a color (currently red, green, etc) indicating me the quantity of vehicles in every street, along with the speed of each one. It is, 2 numbers: total number of vehicles and mean speed, both in real time, for every street AROUND A USER SELECTED POINT. The user would be a custom program that would determine in advance, the possible conflict at every selected intersection.
This would…

Use phone orientation to determine initial driving direction
Problem:
When starting navigation from a stationary position, Waze often assumes my car is facing the direction of the road segment, not my actual heading.
This leads to wrong initial instructions — for example, being told to “turn right” when in reality I need to make a U-turn first because I’m facing the opposite direction.Proposed Solution:
Use the phone’s built-in compass and orientation sensors to estimate the initial heading of the vehicle when navigation begins.
In most real-world cases, the phone is positioned facing the same direction as the car (mounted on the dashboard or windshield).
By using this…2 votes -

Many times as a passenger using Waze I notice incorrect map info or current road situations not reported. When I try to report info for updates I receive "don't text & drive" message & am not allowed to suggest updates (hazards, police, accidents, speed limits, road construction, etc). Would it be possible under Navigation (similar to Vehicle Details) to add Wazer Details with options of: Driver, Passenger? If Driver, process as is. If Passenger, allow suggestions for updates in current time.

Allow us to click on reports on the map and select "avoid" or "route me there"
We should be able to click on a report that we see on the map, and select an option on the go. If it's something you definitely don't want to deal with (construction, ice, etc.) you can click "avoid this" and the map would update your route to take another road. Or in my case, I seek out and provide free roadside assistance to any disabled vehicles, so I would like to see stopped vehicle reports on the map and be able to click "route me there" or "add this as a stop to my trip" so I can…
