Truck drivers distort the measured speeds. If they were treated separately, WAZE would be much more accurate.
It may be that there's no interest in optimizing the app for vehicles over 3.5 tons, such as motorhomes, trucks, buses, and the like, but drivers of precisely these vehicles still use Waze because Waze is simply one of the best navigation apps. However, these typically much slower vehicles distort the average speeds of users determined by Waze, so it would certainly make the app much more accurate if users could enter their vehicle data, such as weight and size, so that the data can be assigned accordingly when collecting the returned data. In return, truck 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 phone screen.
• Provide…4 votes -
"Multi-Stop Route Support for Delivery Drivers and Professionals"
I suggest adding a feature to Waze that allows users to input multiple addresses (e.g., 10 or more, as many as the user needs) and get the most optimal route connecting all those points. Currently, Waze only supports adding one intermediate stop, which isn’t enough for delivery drivers or people who need to navigate between several destinations in a day, like within a city. For example, a delivery person could enter 10 different addresses in advance, and Waze would calculate the fastest and most efficient route to visit them all.
Why is this important?Saves time and money for delivery drivers…4 votes -
What if you incorporated siren detection software into Waze so that you could see in advance any appoaching emergency vehicles.
For the safety of your users, a siren detection feature would give them advanced notice of approaching emergency vehicles. Our company created this software.

The "Preferred fuel" should contain EV charging standards too (ChaDeMo, CCS, etc) and list EV chargers if set :) Thank you!
The car menu already provide relevant info if you set your preferred fuel, but it's only for ICE vehicles. Please add option for EV's, and if set, provide chargers as relevant information.
Thank you!6 votes -
Road Avoidance
A way to tell Waze to avoid certain roads in the app, similar to tolls etc. but any road of my choosing.
I sometimes drive vehicles that can’t go down some roads and it would be really useful to be able to tell the app to never navigate me down roads I tell it not too.7 votes -
Hide ‘Where To’ in Map View
When you have the map displayed in portrait mode the ‘Where To’ pop up box commands a large part of the screen. I often use the map just to display current and surrounding area not in route navigation mode.

The Option to add gas prices and places when stopped on Android auto. Currently, I have to stop, turn my vehicle off and wait for my phone to stop trying to recconect to andriod auto, then I can open waze and add the place or gas price. I can do the same when I am stopped and looking at the gas price or the place but not when I am connected to the car.

New update not working as intended
2017 vw jetta, andriod phone for waze, since the newest update, I am unable to use touchscreen sections located near the corner of the screen, ie, reporting button, center button, exit button, or zoom in and out. I use my phone on my other vehicle, 2020 vw tiguan and it works fine. Also, the new black info sections are awful and make it very hard to see the full map. Please verify the data mapping for vehicles with smaller screens, or move the functions to allow for touchscreens to work correctly as it had before the latest update.…

Many times as a passenger using Waze I notice incorrect map info or current road situations not reported. When I try to report info for updates I receive "don't text & drive" message & am not allowed to suggest updates (hazards, police, accidents, speed limits, road construction, etc). Would it be possible under Navigation (similar to Vehicle Details) to add Wazer Details with options of: Driver, Passenger? If Driver, process as is. If Passenger, allow suggestions for updates in current time.

The music banner is too large on the app. Please could you make it smaller so I can still have it up to see the song and see the map. Make it more like Google maps music banner - small and not distractive

Toggle Carpool on and off when using Android Auto
Once the phone is connected to the vehicle, there is no way to easy toggle on and off the carpool. As a parent that drives the kids to and from school, I constantly go from single person to three people, and if I do not remember to change the settings before plugging the phone, I cannot toggle carpool off and off. I need an easy way to toggle carpool on and off when in the Android Auto.

Total number of vehicles and mean speed, both in real time, for every street AROUND A USER SELECTED POINT.
I would like to get, for a project, the traffic density in real time of each street or highway. In other words, what I need is to get a number, instead of a color (currently red, green, etc) indicating me the quantity of vehicles in every street, along with the speed of each one. It is, 2 numbers: total number of vehicles and mean speed, both in real time, for every street AROUND A USER SELECTED POINT. The user would be a custom program that would determine in advance, the possible conflict at every selected intersection.
This would…

On Screen Button Size
Android Auto on Ford F150 8.2" display. Buttons for "still there" and "not there" for reported hazards have a height to width ratio of about 0.16. Very difficult to press correctly as the finger moves up/down with vehicle movement. Button is too narrow.
Suggest that the "there" "not there" buttons have a H to W ratio closer to 1.0. Same screen space will be occupied, but buttons will be much easier to press.

Bad directions in Iowa
Used Waze to travel to the Paramount Theater in Cedar Rapids Iowa. The directions were NOT SUFFICIENT. We drove around looking for the venue for about 15 minutes before we gave up on Waze and just parked the vehicle and walked. I know this is not the correct place to report this problem, but the reporting methods suggested in "Fix a Map Issue" were not working. I guess I'm just too retarded to use Waze.

North up changes desperately needed
I am trying to use Waze with the map displayed in the direction I’m actually going, North Up, Because with the map always moving what is actually North to just keep my direction always going towards the top of the screen one loses all perspective on where things are. When one would read a paper map one would always keep the map north up, that way you could always learn your relative position to other places. The problem comes in, when the map is set to north up the position is always in the dead middle of the screen rather…

Service for stuck cars
As you know, cars are stuck for all kinds of mechanical / human reasons. Because of the experience and amount of users you have and you can ask the same users the same way with the Reflection Is the vehicle or figure in this place, at points or free. Notice that the technical service works when the car is picked up by the tow or some more time the car arrives to give service (Gat Taksi).

Android Auto blocking scrolling
When using Waze over Andoid Auto, it blocks selections until you stop the vehicle. It is rather irritating as it is possible to use Waze if I disconnect from Android Auto, select address on the handset and reconnect, which requires 5x as much distraction.
It is OK to warn to watch the road instead, but it should release the further selection after a while like the phone app.
The most irritating is when I have just reached the desired
address and you mask it with the blocking warning :(
I advise that you unblock the screen after a while…2 votes
