Search Results on the Map - Show current location
When searching for something (i.e. Best Buy) it takes you back to the map and shows all locations. However, it doesn't show current location. When you are in unfamiliar area it is hard to estimate which location of point of interest is closest.

Show the sun as a ball on the map
Show the location of the sun on the outskirts of the map, a moving yellow ball as you drive. This will give you an idea of when you will be driving straight at the sun. Also fun to see it move around the map. You can change the brightness or color based on how much glare may be in your eyes. Maybe a small arrow coming out of the ball to show the direction of where the sun is moving.

North Up only in 2D
When the Map is set to Auto (2D and 3D) with North Up preference set, please only show the 2D map in North Up. As a 3D map also being North Up doesn't make sense since it hides almost all upcoming map content unless driving due north (car traveling sideways to map view). North Up is only useful in 2D maps.
Thanks

Allow routing to avoid defined zones on map (bad neighborhoods, long term construction, etc)
Lots of people have suggested that Waze have an option to avoid "bad neighborhoods" or other areas for other reasons, but I understand that it would be very difficult for Waze to do that automatically. For a given city, you usually have to be a local resident to know that you should avoid a certain area in your daily commute.
So, give each user the option to define avoidance zones in our apps. That way, Waze is not responsible for making that determination, the individual users do it. It could be just a simple polygon drawing function, with a checkbox…

Sarebbe utile un collegamento rapido per l'applicazione deliveroo rider

Settings for types of alerts to allow
There are many types of alerts the Waze client can display as a layer on the map and/or pop up on your screen, sometimes both visual and audible. We would like to see an new Settings area added for the types of alerts we want to see and/or ignore and never have a notification appear or be heard.
The notifications should include at least, but not necessarily limited to:
Speed cams
Red light cams
Police (speed trap)
Road Hazards
Road segment speed condition
Traffic Jams
Chit Chat
Accident233 votesGreat news! For each type of report/alert you’re able to specify whether you’d like it do be displayed on the route. Accessed via Settings – Alerts&Reports – Reports. What’s more, you can choose area (e.g. 5 km around you) for which reports will be displayed on the map.

Lo uso hace años pero la verdad es que es casi imposible y muy poco intuitivo establecer un recorrido con más de un destino. En ese sentido
Lo uso hace años pero la verdad es que es casi imposible y muy poco intuitivo establecer un recorrido con más de un destino. En ese sentido Google maps es mil veces mejor y más sencillo. No se por qué no lo corrigen.

Map comments usage warning message
Could a warning be added to the left side or a pop up warning on save that states map comments are only seen in the editor and not the app. They are for reference. If trying to report an issue use the Send a Report, Map issue option in the app.

Send push notification of danger / police when waze isnt open.
Hi, so let's say you get in your car, you're just going to Walmart. You know where walmart is.. so you don't open waze. There's a cop/ object on road on your road. Waze sends u a push notification alerting you even if it's not actively open on your phone.
Yes this will waste battery but hear me out.
You can make it where you choose what kinds of alerts you want while "offline" and to save battery you can code the app to launch in the background only while driving. So it's not always a background process…3 votes -
Jeep Icon
We need a Jeep icon to choose as our map Icon. I have a Jeep truck but would be ok with a Jeep in general. The current truck is for 18 wheelers.

Quick Route Refresh Button
I'd like to see a quick route refresh button on the primary map screen during navigation that I can tap once to force the current route to refresh. I'm often in the midst of a route that I can see is starting to become a bad idea, but the Waze app isn't adjusting for the oncoming traffic issues. If I go in and choose navigate and refresh the route it will often give me an updated route. It would be great if I can accomplish this with a quick route refresh button right there on the map screen.

lock screen orientation
My screen is constantly flipping and tumbling while I'm on the move, making the visual map virtually useless. A simple option to lock orientation in the app would solve this.

Open up Waze to developers so we get third party plugins!
Would be amazing if Waze allowed other developers to integrate their software AND hardware to use with Waze.
Escort radar has their own app where if you hold a button on their radar detector, it'd report it on their cloud to other Escort users that a police is spotted.
However, having to have two apps loaded at a time makes it very difficult to catch alerts from both apps at the same time. Opening up an SDK or API on Waze and allowing other companies and developers to integrate with Waze would allow Waze to dominate the industry.
With this…

More accurate gps
The only reason I do not use waze more often is that the nevigation is delayed. Unlike google maps I cannot see exactly where I am on waze there is a 15sec delay. This confuses me and makes it harder to navigate and drive at the same time. By the time I pass the turn the gps shows me at the turn.

Make current speed, speed limits and warnings the largest images on the CarPlay phone companion screen
Rather than next turns or route events shown on your phone screen when the maps are pushed to a CarPlay screen, can we have a large view of current speed, speed limits and upcoming road warnings instead (or as a third view option)?

Live updates
This app would be better if simultaneously synced data across my account on all my devices. To elaborate if I input an address on device 1, it should also come up in the history on device 2m see Google maps for reference

Maltese
I think Maltese should be available as a language on Waze. It would be good to have Maltese available for navigation, as it is not available on Google Maps and I don't see them adding it any time soon.

Improve navigation in tunnels
When a route that includes motorway tunnels is started in Waze, it includes sections in motorway tunnels accurately. Once in the tunnel it recalculates and guides you as if you are travelling above ground. Google Maps continues to show the route through the tunnel with an indication that the position of the vehicle is an estimate only. The Google Maps method should be applied to Waze.
