Movable speedometer
Hold your finger on the speed gauge to move the speed gauge to a suitable location on your screen.
This would be very useful especially on a tablet or phones with big screens.395 votesHey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not right now, since we finalized our plans for 2024 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
We hope to include it in our plans for later down the line.
Thanks!

Waze should have Patch Notes for every update. Let Users know what has changed with each new version (dropped support, improved support etc)
Patch Notes, like those implemented in every online game in the past two decades, would drastically reduce User issue-reporting (with the app) due to misunderstanding of which Waze features are supported, which are not, which features have lost support and where etc.
Just every time the User updates the app, upon next sign-in, just flash a dialogue box with the latest patch notes (perhaps a link).
As an aside: the Help Center could be more clear and specific about how certain features (e.g., speed camera alerts) work. The exact parameters for getting audible speed camera alerts are not…

Traking travel
When phone connect to car , autostart Waze, saving address During travel record position on map, with speed. When stop car shut down save position and stop waze. Result : map of trip can be available, including road used and speed top and average. Trafic condition can be automatic for or wazers because all cars speed are record and compared with speed limit of roads (if under limit mean trafic, difference in percentage show the trafic density). Look to have one idea Vezma App. Make what I suggest but don't do all that Vaze offer.

Speed / red light camera alerts announced too early on local steeets
Speed / red light camera alerts are announced too early on local steeets currently.
Most of the time, the alert is announced over 750m away. And on local streets, it is very likely that there there would be multiple other intersections before reaching it. So by the time the actual camera location is reached, the alert is already forgotten.
Please make it so that the camera alerts are announced closer to the actual camera while on city streets (around 200 - 250m). Or add a second alert when "approaching speed / red light camera", in addition to the current one…1 vote -
when there is a speed camera, flash the screen to make them more visible. with only current information, it is hardly visible.

WAZE urgently needs updating in Queensland, Australia where in country and coastal areas is is almost unusable! MUST GET speed limits on map, about the only App where they are not shown!

Map Landscape Changes
Why the change in map appearance in landscape mode. The speed limit sign is scrunched way to the right and covered up when a warning pops up. Please put the map back the way it was in landscape mode with the speed limit in the lower left corner.

Speed in School Zone is 30 km
If the App gives a warning of school zone coming up in 50 meters, it will be very helpful for the driver to slow down well in advance. In the school zone, if someone is speeding the map should show a bigger warning & may be talk to the driver about cameras giving tickets.
Help us be better drivers!

Improve Waze for all (professional drivers like taxi drivers, truck drivers and bus drivers as well)
Feedback for Waze Improvements (Australia-specific but globally relevant):
1. Map and Speed Limit Accuracy
• Please update maps and speed limit data more frequently, especially in Australia where road rules and limits are often updated.
• Ensure that the speedometer always shows the correct speed limit without disappearing or failing, as this can mislead drivers and cause unintentional speeding.
• Improve reliability so the speedometer never stops working unexpectedly.
2. Audible Alerts and Driver Focus
• Introduce louder and clearer spoken alerts for every speed limit change, so drivers do not have to look at their…4 votes -
Put the speedometer back to black numberson a white background.
Why can't you people leave a good thing alone. I don't need you to tell me what the speed limit is. Making the display black on red is too hard to read, day or night. I know how fast I'm going. I hate Waze now.

Friends side panel is irritating
Friends side panel is irritating. I never use it and it gets in a way when I try manually zoom in: It's is super annoying when friends panel opens up when I try to scroll the map to get an I better idea where I will need to go while waiting on a red light with phone in a holder attached to a windshield.
It would be awesome if I could disable this friend panel at all!1 voteThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

When you make a report, you should be able to remove or modify it. I reported a hidden speed trap, and a block later the cop took off.
Hazard reporting should be able to be removed or edited by the person who posted it, especially speed traps when the cop takes off just after you report it.

Warning notification
Can you please move the box that appears to warn you of a speed trap so it doesn't obscure the speed your driving at/speed limit indicator. Or move the speed indicators to the top right hand area of the display. Thanks!

I think that speed limits should be put on all roads to make the roads even safer. This will prevent accidents.
If we find out the speed for every road and put it on the system, a lot of accidents will be prevented

Add Victoria, Australia Data APIs
The Victorian Government In Australia offers a number of Data API's that would be highly useful to have integrated into the Waze App
https://www.data.vic.gov.au/ which would allow an added depth of information to be added to the map, such as current road speed limit vs actual.
routing around known road events, such as road works or road closures etc...Specifically things like:
"Road Works and Events Points Snapshot"
https://www.data.vic.gov.au/data/dataset/road-works-and-events-points-snapshot"Speed Sign Data"
https://www.data.vic.gov.au/data/dataset/speed-sign-data"Emergency Road Closure Lines Snapshot"

Earn points to limit ads
Earn points to limit ads. The more reports you post, the more points you get, and the less ads you see.
For the users who maintain a steady stream of points, turn off ads altogether. The reports must be confirmed by other users to avoid gaming the system by submitting incorrect (fake) reports.
Note that Stack Overflow, a very popular Q&A site for programmers, uses such system. After a certain number of points, there are no ads at all.1 vote
