Add quick text to road reports
Typing while driving is dangerous. However, don't you often want to add more information to a road report? Do you go ahead and type that message illegally or do you simply submit something that you know is an incomplete, ambiguous report. What if you had the option to choose from a list of common stock text modifiers to help with your reporting? What if it was possible to edit these to your specifications?

Allow reporting of New Incidents while an Alert is active (Android Auto)
When using Waze on Android Auto, if an active alert (e.g., speed camera, crash, lane closure) is currently displayed on the screen, the button to report a new incident becomes inaccessible or disappears.
To submit a new report, the driver is currently forced to first accept or close the existing alert. This is highly impractical and potentially unsafe while driving.This limitation prevents users from easily reporting multiple, co-located events (like a lane closure and a crash) in densely populated areas where multiple things often happen near each other.
I suggest that the Report Button should remain visible and accessible on the Android Auto interface, even when another alert or warning is being displayed.
This would allow drivers to immediately report the event they see without needing to interact with the current alert first. The Waze platform can later handle the filtering or merging of similar reports to prevent duplication.

Add option allowing your URs to be posted under your username (not anonymoulsy)
It has been said numerous time that due to private data protections, URs are always posted anonymously.
However, many editors use the UR system as a mean to "take notes" of problems during a trip, and then will correct deal with those UR when on WME after the trip.
However, those URs are always marked as anonymous on WME and other editors often start to reply those UR not knowing that those were done by other fellow editors. This leads to a lost of time, since those UR should be considered as "already watched by another editor".
The proposition is therefore to give the app user the option (which by default is not activated) to post UR un-anonymously, which will make the UR to appear in WME under its own username, and therefore help other editors to know that this UR comes from another editor.
This option will not go against private protection as it would only be activated by the user himself, if he wants to.

Police speed trap trends
Instead of only showing current police speed traps, have a toggle options for where police tend to sit and wait. "police hot zone" kind of idea. "police have been reported at this time for the last three days" kind of warning. This will not only help avoid tickets, but get people to slow down in the more "dangerous" areas

Place Updates and Approvals with Chat
We chat with users that send URs.
It will be helpful to chat to users that add places or update places with info and or pictures.
I have found myself having to make a judgement call on accepting or rejecting places based on information that is unclear.
It would be nice if we could ask for clarification.29 votesAdminElla (Waze Team) (Admin, Waze) responded

Please stop routing onto bike routes
I live in an area of the country with a lot of bike routes. Those routes are established on the assumption that they are low in auto traffic, or least generally local-only traffic. That seems to prompt Waze to guide me onto them fairly frequently during heavy traffic times, but in doing so this violates that basic assumption of keeping them low traffic.
As someone who bikes and drives regularly, I'd rather not see those routes grow in auto traffic as Waze adoption increases. If possible, please stop routing auto traffic onto those routes so that they can remain safe for folks on their bikes, it would greatly appreciated!

Keep same web link when sharing via (follow my drive)
If like waze to be able to either allow for a vanity web address unique to each Wazer when they select to share their drive for people to follow their progress via the web or at least keep the web address the same for a set number of hours. If I share my drive and close Waze at anytime during my drive and reopen it, I then have to share my drive all over again with a different URL. If you allow the ability to create a vanity URL with the wazers username it would be easier though. Then they can turn on sharing and select a setting, (Public) - for anyone with your waze username to see or you select (Private) - which allows people to access link but only with a designated passcode/number set by the Wazer and is only valid for a number of hours determinded by the Wazer, a new passcode would have to be specified each time a new trip is planned.

Simplify removing a destination from drive history
Sometimes you need to remove a place from drive history and search again before getting an updated pin for routing.
Per a thread in Discuss, sometimes you have to remove navigation history from your Privacy settings to get rid of all history of a place.
Removing a destination from drive history should remove it from the app completely in one step. You shouldn’t have to navigate through settings to Privacy then Recent locations to remove it.
"Drive suggestions logic is handled by a server, not by a mobile device. Once the server saved the location name (before changing it in WME) it remained and was not refreshed after the change.
Deleting recent drives from mobile client is mostly to declutter the view, and they still remain in our servers and in privacy Settings>Privacy>Navigation history (they are however also removed from Settings>Privacy>Recent locations).
Deleting navigation history from settings deletes all the drives, from mobile client and from our servers. In such case, suggestions (from the server) would be deleted as well and then navigating to the same place couple more times would trigger “fresh” suggestion with the correct name taken from the WME."

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 support for showing navigation directions, turn-by-turn prompts, and police/speed-camera alerts directly on the instrument cluster and HUD, similar to how BMW’s native navigation system — and some competitor apps — already do.
This feature would allow drivers to keep their eyes on the road and hands on the wheel, perfectly aligning with Waze’s mission of safer and smarter driving. Many BMW owners (especially those using iDrive 7 and iDrive 8) are actively asking for this enhancement, and it would represent a significant leap forward for Waze’s ecosystem on both CarPlay and Android Auto.
Please forward this request to your product development or automotive integration team, and kindly let me know if there’s a roadmap or beta program planned for this functionality.
Thank you for taking this seriously. I genuinely hope that Waze will soon provide full HUD and cluster integration for BMW drivers worldwide.
Best regards,

*NEW* hazard notification for roadkill
Dear my WAZE PPL
First, I want to thank waze for creating such an outstanding navigation tool that helps so many drivers stay informed and safe on the road. I truly appreciate how the app continuously evolves to meet the needs of its users.
I’d like to suggest a potential improvement to the “Hazards” feature. While the current options, such as “Objects on Road,” are helpful, I believe there’s an opportunity to make the app even more informative and user-friendly by adding an alert specifically for roadkill or deceased animals on the road.
In my area, it’s common to encounter wildlife-related hazards on the road, which can pose significant safety concerns, especially at night or in areas with limited visibility. A dedicated alert, such as “Animal Hazard” or “Animal on Road,” could help address this issue while maintaining respectful and inclusive terminology. This phrasing would cover both live animals and roadkill, ensuring clarity without being off-putting.
I hope you’ll consider this enhancement to further improve Waze’s utility and safety for its users, Thank you for your time.
