DEF pumps as a category like diesel
Add DEF pump locations as well as DEF jug to fuel stations as a search criteria. DEF is also Generally known as ad blue. With modern diesels requiring DEF fluid or shutting down the vehicle the importance of it is high and yet unsearchable as a field like diesel. Some people prefer box/jugs others prefer nozzles/pumps.
There are positives and negatives to both. But, regardless not having DEF is a problem.

I do a lot of deliveries and when driving without navigation, a real GPS device will say on the top of the screen upcoming street also if u are somewhere and don't know where u touch your vehicle it shows u the closest address by u. This is a safety feature... Please add! This app only gives u the hundred block

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 -
Why is the cat so big

Emrgency vehicles
When driving, waze allarms me for cars on the road banks, speed trafic cameras policeman ahead hazards etc. Also I can see other wazers on the map.
With my windows closed, if there is an imergency syren yelling by, I often fail to locat the exect location and direction of that ambulance/ police or fire fighters. I think I am not the only one feelling so.
So.If all the emergency units on the road wil be on the waze, it will prompt the souranding driversv for rheir existance and exact location on the users maps.
That will help us…1 vote -
Permit for pedestrian zone in Ghent
In Ghent they have a large car-free zone, but it's allowed to drive through if you have a permit. So my idea is to create a permit like the low emission zones but for the car-free zone in Ghent.

Better organized CarPlay screen for reporting traffic issues
Describing traffic issues while driving needs to be done quickly, so the driver isn’t distracted too long. I feel at least 20 buttons should be shown on the screen right away to report conditions, instead of 5 that ‘open’ into related scenarios. So 1st column is the 5 most important police issues, the 2nd column is the 5 most important emergency vehicle issues, the 3rd column is the 5 most important crash or stopped vehicle issues, the 4th column is the 5 most important road surface condition issues, and the 5th column is the 5 most important ‘other’ issues.

Speed Light Camera, Temporary Speed Trap, unmanned Police vehicles need ability to add these
With road construction going on around the nation, it's unfortunate that we still do not have the ability to add speed light cameras, or temporary speed traps that are common here in PA through construction zones. There also seems to be an increase in unmanned police vehicles sitting behind the k-rails running speed traps. It would be nice to have the ability to alert others. But also would be better if it was the same interface as it is for the police so save time digging through options looking for the one we want while on the road.

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…

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 upda
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 big! I would like to have it down so I can see the song but it takes up too mcuh space, make it more like google
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

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.

Use phone orientation to determine initial driving direction
Problem:
When starting navigation from a stationary position, Waze often assumes my car is facing the direction of the road segment, not my actual heading.
This leads to wrong initial instructions — for example, being told to “turn right” when in reality I need to make a U-turn first because I’m facing the opposite direction.Proposed Solution:
Use the phone’s built-in compass and orientation sensors to estimate the initial heading of the vehicle when navigation begins.
In most real-world cases, the phone is positioned facing the same direction as the car (mounted on the dashboard or windshield).
By using this…2 votes -
Alerts now Overlap Turn-by-Turn
The on-screen messaging has become very large in the new Android Auto UI - Turn-by-Turn is big, buttons across the top overlay the map...
When an alert comes on the screen now, it is also quite large but the problem is that it's positioned over some turn-by-turn info that you may really need at that moment in time.
Can you reposition the alert or make it smaller, or give us an option to use Medium font for the UI instead of jumbo? I get that it's easier to glance at when driving, but we need to see the really important…1 vote -
Icons Instead Of Text
I suggest that all the reporting options should appear as large icons instead of text. In fact it should take up the whole page. It is much easier to quickly press a regularly used reporting feature than to go through a few steps for the same kind of report.

Navigation option
Suggest adding an option to navigation setting that would prefer taking longer distances to avoid stop and go traffic patches on route. As an example, I commute daily from Deira - Dubai to Ajman. At 5PM, waze often suggests a route with a shorter distance but ends up taking longer to reach the destination. I ignore and chose a different route and end up reaching sooner albeit having travelled an extra 20KM. Highway cruising has less stress on the driver and the vehicle

Allow us to click on reports on the map and select "avoid" or "route me there"
We should be able to click on a report that we see on the map, and select an option on the go. If it's something you definitely don't want to deal with (construction, ice, etc.) you can click "avoid this" and the map would update your route to take another road. Or in my case, I seek out and provide free roadside assistance to any disabled vehicles, so I would like to see stopped vehicle reports on the map and be able to click "route me there" or "add this as a stop to my trip" so I can…

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…

Show Suburb Name While Driving
It would be very useful if Waze could display the current suburb/locality name on the main navigation screen while driving. At the moment, suburb names only appear faintly on the map or in some voice instructions, but they are not always visible.
Having the suburb name clearly shown (for example, near the top or bottom of the screen) would help drivers quickly know which suburb they are in, especially in large cities with many small suburbs. This would improve situational awareness and make navigation more convenient.
