  1. Screen offset

    Have the screen offset be two thirds to the area you are going to and one third to where you have been while you are moving. I am more interested in seeing more of the map where I am going than where I have been.

  3. Full screen speedometer option on phone

    It would be nice to have the option to have a full screen speedometer with speed limits. Motorcycle speedometers can be 10% off, so most of the time I use Waze as a speedometer (with a map), it would be nice if I could tap the speedometer and make it go to full screen big speedometer display, then tap again to return to the map if I need it.

    I've tried other GPS just speedometer, but then I lose Waze (And those aren't very accurate like your speedometer is).

  4. Report map issues on CarPlay screen

    When hitting report on the CarPlay screen, Map Issue isn't one of the options. If there is a map issue you cannot even do it from the phone since the display is different. You have to quickly unplug the phone from the car so Waze goes into normal phone mode, and do it from there. That is too much of a dangerous distraction messing around whit phone cables and the phone. Everything in the app should be easily accessible on the car play screen. For transcribing the map issue you can use voice to text, exactly how the…

  5. Add average speed zone indication on screen to Android auto

    In Android auto the average speed zone is announced by voice but there is no indication on screen like in the "normal" waze. So you don't know how long the zone is and if you respect the speed.

  6. Waze on cluster screen over Carplay

    Apple Maps and Google Maps are able to display a map on the cluster screen when connected via Apple Carplay.
    Can an option be implemented for Waze to do the same thing?
    Thanks!

  7. Flash screen or show some form of Visual alert (Maybe flash the screen white and black 3 times?), when you have audio alerts muted

    Flash screen or show some form of Visual alert (Maybe flash the screen white and black 3 times?) that would catch the drivers eye, when you have audio alerts muted? I mute mine as it causes my music to go quiet when an alert happens. (Apple CarePlay). A distinctive total screen flash might catch my peripheral vision, "Police ahead".

  9. More features on-screen when tapped

    One of the features I love about my "real" GPS is that I can just tap the screen to begin navigation. Make navigate, report, and other icons all available immediately when I tap on the screen, instead of just the zoom icons.

  11. No shutdown when screen off

    Hello,

    I read that waze automaticatly shutdown itselves if it detects it is used in background

    However this could be helpfull if we can set "on" or "off" this option. For exemple, with my phone I prefer to shutdown the screen to save the battery (I toggle the screen on when I want to see or inform about something) . But by this way waze shutdown itself

    May it be possible to make it as an option in a futher version ?

    Yours sincerely

  12. Need a widget for android to display map on home screen.

    I use a tablet for my car entertainment center, and use waze over google maps. I want a way to add a widget that can display current navigation map on the home screen, so that way I won't need to use split screen all the time. Could have ability to launch full app by hitting the widget if need to interact with waze completely, if too hard to have it interact fully on widget only.

  14. Put a report button on the main screen of the Android UI

    The iPhone UI has a report button on the main screen... why make Android users go through the extra step of hitting Menu before going to the reporting screen? I would love to see a "report" button somewhere on the screen so it's one press, no fumbling around for the menu button.

    An idea would be to place the reporting button to the right of the user icon at the top of the title bar. There's quite a bit of unused space between that icon and the GPS/internet status icon.

  15. use Iphone screen to display speedometer/speed limit when in carpay mode

    When in apple carplay mode, use the iphone screen to display the speedometer/speedlimit in full screen. Pehaps as a third tab next to the directions, notifications tab. With the phone in a cradle close to the steering wheel this avoids having to glance to the far right of the main car screen to see the actual speed limit.

  16. Android auto screen

    We let you know an potential error. After the latest versions, when you are navigating with android auto and you click on phone to navigate with Waze, there is a new advisory screen that says to look at android auto car screen to follow the navigation. This screen may be temporary, because when you are professional driver using another app, and you need this another main app for continue working, you have been blocked by this advisory screen, and you need to close and restart the apps on your phone.

  17. More visibility in a landscape mode (tilted screen)

    Waze is great, I like to keep it running without any navigation / destination. In mobile's landscape mode (tilted screen) there is menu + search bar that takes about a half of the screen. Please make it as a pop up when touched or as a slider from the bottom/side of the screen. The visibility is close to none even with my 6.7" screen.

  18. Hot keys on the map screen

    Have the ability to choose and add as hot keys to the map screen things like, car on shoulder, police, debris in roadway are examples... make them configurable to your most common choices... Currently while driving it takes 3 different clicks to post about a car on the shoulder, or debris in the road......hot key buttons set on the side of the screen Would help keep the eyes on the road and ensure post are made in time about the hazards..
    Thoughts?

  19. Full screen map.

    It would be better to have a full screen map. Make a floating search box, and the menu could appear swiping to the right.

  20. Add option to display SpeedTraps on main screen without having to use menu.

    Add in the settings an option to display "Speed Trap" info on main screen. This would display in either the title bar or on the main screen and would have an icon with two numbers: A red number that indicates the # of speedtraps on your route, and a Yellow number that indicates the # of speedtraps not on the route. This would be very useful because speedtraps move (police pull someone over and then sit in new spot), so it helps to have more advanced notice that police are in the area.
