Reports and Hazard Alerts
Speed camera alerts or warnings should sound regardless of the speed travelling. I would rather know something is there even if under speed. GPS speed monitoring is not as accurate as a vehicles speedometer, it's usually 5mph out.

Auto Detect Speed in Traffic
Instead of the user selecting the "level" of traffic, Waze should automatically detect the user's speed for a specified time and/or distance to calculate an accurate delay due to the traffic. Then Waze should continue to monitor new users as they pass through the traffic zone to determine if the event is still occurring or if it needs to be removed and transit times recalculated.

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…

Change from Popups to small notification Banners
Popups are quite intrusive. For instance, while Waze is recalculating, which can take a while sometimes, I need to see the map to figure out the next turn quickly. There are many other examples of intrusive popups, i.e. Danger ahead, Speed camera ahead, etc.
Popups should be shown as banners. A banner should be a rectangle less than an inch tall and as wide as the screen, aligned to the top or bottom of the screen. So, the rest of the screen would not be hidden at all, but would be instead completely available and usable as always.

Play voice on device when bluetooth conected
A good think to do on this app it's to have the choice of not playing audio on Bluetooth only because if the phone is connected to Bluetooth on the car and you listening radio that become a problem hearing waze voice .

Wazer statistics make posted speed limits obsolete
When driving in fog, darkness or on unfamiliar roads I want a warning from Waze, if my speed is greater than (say) the 90th percentile of the Wazer statistical distribution for my position and driving direction.
I would also like to be alerted if another Wazer near before me drives much slower than I do.
BACKGROUND
Guidelines from location- and real-time data on the speed of Wazers should be more safety-relevant than rigidly posted speed limits, constant over both time and long distances.
=== Police Supervision of Posted Speed Limits Obsolete ===
Such functions in Waze may contribute considerably to…

Improve your UI for submitting map issues
This is both in the Waze phone app and in the Map editor. When submitting a map issue, the text box is very small and not obvious. It's barely visible so it's easy to miss and only select the issue and hit send.
In the map editor, when replying to a comment about a map issue, the Done button is big a blue and the Send button is small and grey. It's very easy to spend a few minutes typing a reply then hitting Done instead of Send and therefore losing the entire message.You should really work on your…

Apple CarPlay Update needed
I love that we finally have Apply CarPlay integration! The update does need some additional work in my opinion. The roads/street names/ icons all appear blurry on the CarPlay display. All of the notifications that pop up are clear/crisp. It just looks like the map isn't fully loaded and isnt giving a clear picture like the map on the phone does. Also - the icon (arrow or car) is massive compared to the rest of the map. It doesnt get smaller/bigger when zooming in or out. I think the icon should change size based on the size of the map…

Post report via swipe movement.
Allow smart phone users to do a quick report on a few most common reports by swiping their finger accross the phone. ex. police: swipe finger from left to right on the center of screen. General Hazard on road draw a circle on the screen. hazard on should draw a 1/2 circle on bottom of phone. etc. and allow users to turn off/on feature and to decide what motion reports what.... this would allow for fast and easy reporting with keep eyes on road.

Create a "memory mode" for operation without internet accesses
Create a "memory mode" for operation without internet accesses.
The memory mode should store the information about where you drive up to XX minutes (to be configured by the user) and will be fed to internet when then network is available again.
This feature will help to log off-road and path in mountain where the cell phone coverage is bad.

Calcolo del percorso evitando semafori con telecamera / autovelox
Suggerisco un'opzione che permetta di calcolare il percorso evitando i semafori con telecamera e un'opzione che permetta di calcolare il percorso evitando i Velox.
I suggest an option that allows you to calculate the route avoiding traffic lights with a camera and an option that allows you to calculate the route avoiding the velox

screen rotation
Screen rotation. I use Waze on android, and I don't have a phone holder in many of the vehicles I drive for work, so I invert my phone (because the charging cable is plugged in) and put it in the cup holder. The map does not re-orient with the phone rotation, so the map and everything on it is upside down. It's been like this for a long time and I'm kinda getting used to it, but it would be nice to not perform mental gymnastics to figure out what I need to do while I'm also supposed to be…

Make STILL THERE? larger
Please make the “Still there” and “Not there” voices larger and separate them. I often miss what I am going for because of a bump on the road or just because they are right next to each other. Separating them to something similar to when I receive a phone call and have the option to accept or decline would be very nice. Having large green and red buttons to say if a report is still there would result in less focus away from driving and less errors when selecting.

Don't release versions that are buggier than previous ones!
Noam Bardin, you should be ashamed of yourself. Since I updated 2 days ago this App has crashed more times since then than it has in the whole 2 years I have used it!
It is especially bad when using the camera feature, never mind the constant (chopped off screen) display issues as well.
I implore you to please do us all a favour Noam & sort this debacle out post haste. Start by showing the person responsible for green lighting this latest release the door & then ensure that you replace them with someone competent, thank you.

disable "not there" for abusers or non-contributers
For those who harass police sighting users of waze by FALSELY clicking "not there" the button clicking privilege ought be revoked until they are other than counterproductive
identify them by their sole use of police related report by not-thefe and entire lack of contributing reports
Also detect stationary officers who not-there themselves

Volume glitch
The iPhone volume is very glitchy. When my phone is connected to my Bluetooth in my car, the sound plays sporadically. No sound sometimes. Then I shut Waze off and restart, and sometimes the sound returns. Sometimes not. Have to do a # of restarts.

Waze voice commands is useless under Android Auto
I Would like waze to develop a feature to let me decide if I want to use Google Assistant under Waze Android Auto or not. When I'm looking for an address by voice comand, Google Assistant is always coming first and in most of the cases is handing up to waze a wrong address. The voice search from waze is performing far a way much better then Google assistant but it's useless if can't be used as default under Android Auto.
I'm having a phone with Android 11 installed.15 votes -
Allow us to create customizable single press shortcut button for hazard reporting etc.
Too many steps to press while driving to report hazard etc can be dangerous. Why not allow users to create a customizable single press shortcut button for reporting car on shoulder or object on road instead of multiple steps of pressing buttons to get to the final issue. ie. not needing to press Hazard and then having to search the type of hazard in the small phone screen while driving. A single shortcut would be much easier. The most commonly used report for me is car on shoulder so why not just allow me to create that single shortcut.
