  1. checking for new routes easier with button on map screen. Long routes need driver to manually check for new route.

    For long commutes the traffic changes and the app won't update with a new route. I check for a new route 4-5 time during my morning commute as traffic changes, but the app lags calculating change for commutes to work.

  2. טיימר לעקיפה בטוחה בכביש הערבה

    הבעיה:
    הקטע שבין צומת הערבה לצומת קטורה בכביש 90, באורך של כ-120 ק"מ, נחשב לאחד הקטעים המסוכנים בישראל. מרבית הדרך חד-נתיבית לכל כיוון, ללא אפשרות עקיפה בטוחה – וזה יוצר לחץ, נהיגה תוקפנית ומצבים מסכני חיים על בסיס יומי.
    בין השנים 2000 ל-2020 נהרגו בכביש הערבה כולו 81 בני אדם, כאשר חלק גדול מהתאונות נגרמות עקב עקיפות מסוכנות בקטעים שאינם מאפשרים עקיפה בטוחה.
    הצעה לפיצ'ר מציל חיים:
    Waze תוסיף התראה מתקדמת – טיימר בצד המסך או הודעה קולית/חזותית – שתעדכן את הנהג מראש על קטע דו-נתיבי מתקרב:
    🕒 "בעוד 2.4 ק"מ – קטע דו-נתיבי לעקיפה בטוחה"
    ⏳ "המתן עוד 90…

  3. CarPlay display on iPad / iPad mini > safety

    You have already developed a much more readable display for use on CarPlay. It would be very helpful if this was an optional mode on iPad's / iPad mini's. I think it would address the multiple requests for larger fonts etc without a lot of new development work.

    I was very disappointed to discover that even though the screen is larger on a iPad or iPad mini than my phone the display uses smaller harder to read text. Considering the entire purpose of the app is to be used while driving I can't understand why you are not working to…

  4. Revolutionizing Waze for Motorcyclists: A Call for Enhanced Audio Mode

    Dear Waze Team,

    I have been using Waze for several years in my car, and recently, I purchased a motorcycle. Along with the motorcycle, I acquired an intercom system, which has led me to primarily use Waze by relying solely on the audio instructions from the intercom, without being able to see the screen.

    However, I have come across a feature that I believe would greatly improve the experience for motorcycle users like me, as well as for those who prefer not to have the screen on while driving. It would be beneficial to have an option, let's call…

  6. New Alternate Routes requires too much attention

    Firstly, I was unable to find the alternate routes option the first time I used the latest update. The screen was unfamiliar, and in the moment, while driving, it’s not a great time to discover new design choices. I would have appreciated an in-app notification or walkthrough showing the update before embarking on my drive.

    Secondly, I’m not yet a fan of the redesign. The x-minutes slower/faster is a bit cumbersome, requiring that I do mental math to determine when I’ll arrive based on the route option.

    Third, needing to swipe across the screen to see the detailed info requires…

  7. Media controls for carplay

    With Carplay and cars that do not have touch screens (or media controls on dashboard - like Mercedes C and GLC class) there is no way to control media playing now. So a podcast, or apple music, google music - whatever may be playing in the background, just keeps going. To control it, one has to switch apps and in many cases, the app is not available for carplay so you cannot even do that. Could you add skip forward, skip back and pause to Waze to control the currently playing carplay sub-app? Would be HUGE.

  9. Seen as Waze Newbie on new device, even though I am Waze Royalty!

    Installing Waze on my new device knows I am Waze Royalty, but refuses to let me change my mood character even after 100+ miles.

    The mood screen is quite annoyingly in conflict with other Waze screens.

  10. Compass issues

    When in landscape the 'speech bubble' to report something is over the top of the compass that changes the screen orientation... When I try to report something normally I end up spinning the screen instead! Can you put more distance between the icons?

  11. I have a GMC Sierra and a Google pixel. I can't get Waze back on my infotainment screen with the sound. It was there beforehand. Others too

    Lots of people are looking for the answer on Google. Please let me know how to proceed. It seems like an update caused the problems a few months ago. Just purchased a new one with the same issue.

  13. Consecutive alerts within a short distance

    At the moment, the Waze app provides alerts (such as hazard reports or speed/red light camera) approximately 400-500m away from the location. After driving past the report or camera, Waze doesn't check if there are any further alerts in the next 400-500m and as such, drivers miss out on this information.

    An example is at the first traffic light, there is a red light camera, however after turning, the next traffic light (assuming it is relatively close/within 500m) also has a red light camera. Drivers currently only receive one alert for the first red light camera but not for the…

  14. Add Google Maps Settings to Waze Car Play app

    Please add settings to the CarPlay Waze app navigation screen as seen on the Google Maps screen.
    I lost all sound on Waze which Waze support could not resolve.
    Inadvertently I selected Google Maps and used its settings to reinstate the sound on Waze.

  15. Button customization on Waze with Android Auto & Carplay

    • My suggestion is for the following feature: Adaptive Button Placement/Customizable Controls

    • My suggestion solves this problem:

    • Convenience during Driving: Allowing users to position buttons based on the side of the road they are driving on could make the interface more convenient and accessible, reducing the need for awkward movements while driving.

    • Road Safety: Avoiding stretches and dangerous movements to reach buttons could contribute to safer driving, reducing distractions and improving focus on the road.

    • Interface Personalization: Allowing users to position buttons as they prefer could offer a more personalized experience, adapting the interface to individual preferences and enhancing overall…

  16. Request for Full BMW iDrive 7 Integration (Cluster + HUD Support via CarPlay & Android Auto)

    Hello Waze Team,

    I’m writing as a dedicated Waze user and BMW owner who strongly believes that Waze deserves full integration into the driver’s cockpit — not just the center screen.

    I currently use Waze on a BMW G20 330i xDrive (2021, iDrive 7) with the latest versions of iOS + CarPlay and Android + Android Auto (tested on both platforms). At this time, navigation only appears on the main display, while the instrument cluster and head-up display (HUD) remain inactive — which limits driver comfort, focus, and overall safety.

    I would like to formally request that Waze enable…

  17. The report notifications disappears when the phone changes orientation.

    The report notifications disappears when the phone changes orientation.
    This should be fixed.
    For example, if a report notification such as "car on shoulder of road" appears and while I'm in the process of selecting "still" or "no" if the phone screen orientation changed even for a split second then the report notification disappears, preventing me from being able to select "still" or "no".
    The report notification should remain on the screen until after the user has driven well past the reported item.

  18. latest waze version in Android Auto is a disaster

    So the lates waze version was so frustrating, that I uninstalled it and went back a version.
    1. The map is very slow - if you try to move the map around to see what's ahead it moves very slow and advances very little.
    2. The Navigation menu, that was once located in a rectangle in the lower left part of the screen is no longer pressable. As a result the menu it self, that it once had ,are now permanently on the screen. But the moved to the far side from the driver. to the top right side.…

  19. Better navigation for electric vehicles

    I think Waze can make a very big impact by greatly improving navigation for electric vehicles.
    Given that the charging structure in Europe is now largely very good, scheduling the various charging points for a long trip is no longer necessary in advance.
    A nice solution would be to show on the screen the next 3 (fast) charging stations, along with the total number of charging stations (red) that are there, how many are still available (green) and how many are out of service/in maintenance (gray) (like A better route planner does).
    In addition, also the percentage of charge with…
