Android auto - missing setting
Om android auto user interface there is no posibility on change route option: "avoid/not avoid toll roads"
Very interesting because when you are driving maybe you want to change it easily.
30 votesHey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not right now, since we finalized our plans for 2023 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
Android Auto Proected is a major focus for us in this year, and we encourage you to read more about it in the Android Auto forum for updates and latest releases.

I HATE the scoreboard change. Please display points needed for next level and friends scores, not strangers. Not a well thought out process
Please display points needed for the next level again and friends scores. New scoreboard has taken all the fun out of the app.

UK Railway Network LOW Bridges Add Visual and Audible Warnings on approach
UK Railway Networks has 100s of LOW Bridges across UK. Please add Visual and Audible Warnings on approach and give drivers an option to AVOID low bridges. i.e. ask height of vehicle and suggest alternative routes avoiding low bridges. I am happy to help to source a list of all Low Bridges on UK Rail Network.
Every year in Britain there are about 2,000 bridge strikes, where road vehicles hit railway bridges and viaducts – that's an average of more than five every day. Each incident can cause hours of delays for tens of thousands of rail passengers – and road users – and costs the taxpayer thousands in repairs and compensation.

לאפשר למשתמש לראות את כמות הדלק שיצרוך בנסיעה שהגדיר.
הוספת פיצ'ר שבראשיתה המשתמש יגדיר את כמות הקילומטרים שהרכב שלו עובר עבור ליטר אחד של דלק. (לדוגמא: הרכב שלי צורך ליטר אחד של דלק עבור 12 ק"מ אז אני אגדיר זאת )
ולאחר מכן, בכל פעם שהמשתמש יתחיל בנסיעה חדשה האפליקציה תדע להגיד לו כמה ליטר הנסיעה תצרוך בהתאם לרכב שהוגדר
החישובים יתחשבו גם בעומס התנועה שבאותה נסיעה, והאם הנסיעה היא בדרך עירונית/בין עירונית/כביש מהיר.30 votes -

I really wish bookmarks were easier. Like, creating folders. I drive 5 hours a day, work 4. The places I visit are frequent, but there's so many of them. I would love it if there can be folders created so I just tap on that folder for say, Northeast PA sites, or Eastern PA sites, etc.

Police camera ≠ police report
In some countries, it is not allowed to drive with an app giving the exact locations of police cameras (automatic speed control), waze intelligently gives the area where the police cameras are (very useful alert and the utilization of waze is allowed).
But to fight the concept of the "area" most of drivers post a police location each time they pass beside a police camera (I have observed it, a police camera in Paris France is reported every 15 min, sometime several times).
Consequence : waze gives the exact location of each police cameras everyday, every time.
The problem is when authorities will discover this detail... They will blacklist waze and alll wazers will be punished (the police fine in France when a driver uses a prohibited GPS/app cost $1600 and at the second police fine the driver looses the right to drive)Because a police report to alert a police control inside a control area is useless. Because, in some countries, the utilization of waze becomes illegal when a police report is posted inside a control area, is it possible to do not give the capability to post a police location inside a control area? (To be honest, it is really not complicated to respect the speed limit during 1 or 2 miles)
A police location could be posted everywhere outside these areas and no police camera would be precisely located
Waze is my favorite app when I drive, I want to keep the right to use it.
Thank you

I am a daily user of the waze app. It is great!! I am interested to know when you will have it work on the Apple Watch.
I have used the Maps app on the iPhone recently that coordinated with my Apple Watch and it was a nice combination. My watch would vibrate when the next turn was going to happen and also show on my watch for a quick glance.
30 votesThank you for your suggestion! We are currently not planning on adding Apple Watch support.
Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s blog and social pages on Facebook and Instagram. -

Color Coding for "Traffic" Reports Indication
To Use different Color Codes for :
"Moderate" - "Yellow" Color
"Heavy" - "Orange" Color
"Standstill" - "Red" ColorThis will indirectly help us to minimize our attention to the Screen without touch the Icon for Status of that Traffic in that location. It is good to Ease of Reference as Currently, I need to Press on that Icon Everything while on the move which is quite dangerous sometimes.30 votes -

Add full support on HUD displays on cars
When using Waze in my Car via Android Auto, it shows show semi support on the HUD display.
For example, when turning left on roundabout, the arrow and symbol shows straight instead of circle with left arrow surrounding it.
Another support is missing - When driving on road with several lanes and need to stay on right lane or left lane, no lanes appear on HUD, only straight arrow.
Google Maps and Sygic work great with HUD display so it's clearly an issue with Waze.
Please fix.

Special Camper and Caravan App

Merge two or more alerts
Today Waze prioritize some alerts and you only have 1 visible and audible alert, even if it has 2 or more in the location.
My suggestion is that in this case Waze can "merge" these alerts. Something like "Speed trap and accident reported ahead"
29 votesWe plan to work on merging two or more alerts in the near future. In the meantime, make sure you’ve got the latest version of Waze for all the latest features.

Mandalorian
Please, please, please let's have a Mandalorian voice on Waze, saying "this is the way" or "follow the way", with occasional gurgles from Grogu (baby Yoda). You know it makes sense...

Mixed routing strategy (Fastest, shortest, economical,... and others to come)
The "best" route is often a matter of personnal compromise.
It's often a mix of fastest, shortest, and more and more road cost / fuel economy.
I suggest we add a "Mixed" routing strategy, that could follow our preferences.We could think of a system starting with 100 points that the user would share among the different "strategies" of routing.
For instance, one could set :
* Fastest : 50 points
* Shortest : 30 points
* Economy : 20 points.That has the big advantage to allow other routing strategy for future.
* Less traffic lights : 5 points
* Less train crossing : 10 points
* Nice points of view : 5 points
* etc...of course, total points would always have to be 100 points. As i said, routing is a matter of compromise. :)
I hope this can help waze users and developpers.
Best regards

Indicateur de vitesse
Bonjour
Ajouter une option pour gérer la taille, position et la couleur de l'indicateur de vitesse. Les smartphones sont de plus en plus grands, l'indicateur est trop petit, l'option pourrait être x2,x3,x4, voir x5. Pour la couleur, quand il passe rouge, il est impossible de lire la valeur indiquée. L'indicateur pourrait prendre quasi la moitié de l'écran

Allow HOV lanes to be selected in Android Auto
Allow HOV Lanes to be used in Android Auto
Regular Waze allows for HOV routing, but android auto does not allow this selection. It will remember your routing before you enter android auto, but it will not allow switching of routings in the android auto version of the app.

WazeCoin, the NFT of Waze
I'd like to share with you an idea I recently had to try to increase Waze user engagement with the app. Launch an NFT that will be linked to the points that are fetched in the app.
First, we have to understand what an NFT (Non fungible Token) is: A non-fungible token is a special type of cryptographic token that represents something unique. Unlike cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and many other utility tokens, NFTs are not mutually interchangeable. A fungible item, such as money, can be exchanged for another.
So it would be to create a currency, which would be linked to the points obtained in the application that could be traded between its holders and between Waze. When interacting with the application with a login created, the user would earn points that would be automatically converted into WazeCoins, for example, 1000 points would be 100 WazeCoins, but this can be defined after a study of ease or difficulty in obtaining the points.
Here are some usage examples:
- In the virtual store you could buy stickers for 100 WazeCoins, shirts for 500 WazeCoins and other items produced by Waze, such as hats, mugs, etc.
- Create different moods that could only be obtained by exchanging for WazeCoins, and in this regard, moods with different degrees of rarity could be launched: very rare (1-100) that would be worth many WazeCoins, rare moods (101-1000), medium mood (1,000) -100,000), common moods (100,000 – 1,000,000).
- WazeCoins could also be used as payment on Waze's marketing platform.
- People who don't have enough points or don't use the app to “mine” points (WazeCoins), could buy from users who have it or even from Waze directly.
Currency value:
The value of WazeCoin would initially be determined by the initial launched quantity and demand of it, and Waze could have control over this value, releasing more coins into the market. It could align the value of the coin to the value of the products in the store.
Thus, Waze could profit a lot from the currency appreciation or not, there goes Waze's interest in how to manage WazeCoins.I'd like to share with you an idea I recently had to try to increase Waze user engagement with the app. Launch an NFT that will be linked to the points that are fetched in the app.
