Improve navigation in tunnels
When a route that includes motorway tunnels is started in Waze, it includes sections in motorway tunnels accurately. Once in the tunnel it recalculates and guides you as if you are travelling above ground. Google Maps continues to show the route through the tunnel with an indication that the position of the vehicle is an estimate only. The Google Maps method should be applied to Waze.

Invisible icon for privacy
If I forget to turn off the app or a kid turns it on, my location is being shared for hours or possibly days without me knowing. Huge privacy concerns there- please allow me to make myself invisible on the map.

More informative map or interactive.
It would be convenient if you can see how’s the weather over there( your destination) and a cool feature like a altimeter to see how high you are.

Prevent Constant Navigation pop-up while using other CarPlay apps.
I drive a Mazda CX-5 and whilst the car is in motion the CarPlay touchscreen is disabled and I interact with the interface using a wheel and buttons to move the focus and activate controls.
When using Waze to navigate and switching to music or Spotify or another app Waze will pop up notifications for alerts or upcoming navigation events.
When forced to use the wheel to control the interface this pop up is extremely annoying and interferes with controlling the CarPlay interface. It is so intrusive that I will be navigating songs etc and when I click to activate…

Show current scale on screen (cm long line with how many meters it is).
Sometimes it is hard to know if a juction is a km away or just 50 meters, specially if you're only showing map without any guidance. Autoscale makes this even more difficult.

Quick report buttons
It would be a good idea to place some (2??) customizable quick report buttons on the main Map/interface; in such way we can report speed traps/ dangers/ police while we are driving with a single touch (or double to exclude unintended reports)!
There are too many menu/options to make a report... the only way to put them live is to stop the car and going trough a jungle of options... ( :geek: and I'm used to that! I'm an android user)
Heavy traffic is fine... you're stuck in your car and you've all the time to browse the options but…280 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Google as search engine
Please set google as the default search engine as they have much greater database. That way, we can utilize Waze as our primary map on our iPhones (thanks to Apple map). Thanks :)

Add the ability to change map screen to iphone when using Carplay
Add the ability to change the map screen to the iphone when using Carplay. In some cases, depending on the vehicle design, the dash is not right in front of the driver (2007 Toyota Tundra). It would be beneficial to be able to flip the Waze screens (map on iphone and directions on the dashboard screen). (Keywords: Flip Screen, Change Screen)

More information for the Editor when opening UR
ENGLISH:
Problem:
Often the UR (User Report) arrive to us without information, even trying to contact the user we do not get a good response rate, so much is that most open URs are closed as UNIDENTIFIED.
Improvement: When opening a UR you could get more information for the publisher in WME as
Route Start Location
Destination of the Route
Location source (Waze Database or Google Maps)
APP configuration information that user uses as Avoid Dirt Road, Toll, Expressways etc.)You may ask me: The user would not have privacy. In parts yes. When you open a UR, we…

Move vehicle back to the bottom center of the screen in landscape mode
I use an iPad mini in the dash of my car and the arrow representing the car and the highlighted route is on right 1/3 of the screen which cuts off the right side of the map. I like to see the streets to see if there is a better route in certain situations.
Having an option to have the arrow on the bottom center or bottom right/left would be a good compromise.

Link address from other apps
Most functional Waze yet! Navigation seems spot on and not obtrusive like Google's offering. Main thing is Waze is really accurate! Google Maps loses its way and gets me lost! Like the fresh look of Waze. Loads really fast on Note 4 Marshmallow. Love the send ETA so people I choose can monitor my drive in real time!
Few wish list items and believe me, not trying to turn Waze into Google Maps! So just the essentials..
Could use lane assist.
Need to get links from Yelp, Google Now, and other websites to share the actual destination not unknown…

Less popups when starting a navigation
When starting a navigation, a pop up ask if I want to share my ride. That's not that annoying but I would like an option to disable it.
Im often starting a navigation from other apps, when the navigation is received by waze, it shows a first screen where I need to press on "received location". I click on it and then a second pop up telling me to share. And this is when waze dont pop to ask if I am a passenger. It sometime necessitie 3 press to start a drive. Google maps does it in 0 press…

use waze with Pioneer avh2330nex. I can get Waze notifications when my iphone music is on BUT no visuals (maps) on Pioneer radio screen
Waze. Please update your software so that I can display the Waze on the screen while streaming music. If I display Waze on the stereo screen I cannot stream music at the same time. I can however stream music and get vocal Waze notifications that interrupts the music playing. Better than nothing.
Waze, please improve your app to allow displaying Waze on the screen and play music at the same time. I know Waze knows how.
Pioneer avh2330nex and iphone 6s.
Thank you!1 voteThank you for your suggestion! As you may already know, Waze is now integrated with several audio apps including Spotify, Deezer, TuneIn, iHeart Radio, Pandora and more. Just go to Settings > Audio Player and pick your favorite app.

Implement burn-in protection for AMOLED-Displays
Many users of mobiles with AMOLED-Displays report severe burn-in when using Waze on an regular basis.
Please implement an option to activate a real good working burn-in protection.
- Switching off (no dimming, the pixels must really be off!) the whole map if nothing interesting must be shown (no speed camera, no car on shoulder, no turn in 1 km or less).
and
- Rasterize next-turn bar, speedometer, report button, ETA-bar AND shift them a few pixels once per minute. (BTW: this is normal behavior on smartwatches used with display always-on for years)
80 votesThank you for your suggestion!
The Report button was designed to be noticed while blending in and it’s important to keep it as is.
However, we will revisit this idea when working on Dark mode, in the future. Furthermore, since this is a physical issue that OLED phones suffer from in different apps, we recommend to use Battery Saver mode to allow your display some rest from bright colors that might lead to this dysfunction.
Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram.
