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)

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.
24 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may already know, this option is now available.

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.

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 :)

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.

Added icons response vehicle's that transmit to the intelligent traffic system
Add icons for tow trucks and roadside response vehicle that have ability to report to the smart traffic management system. I use the pi-link system that reports to waze and maps, however I show on map as a car on shoulder, not an emergency tow response. I work with odot and multiple law enforcement agencies. The more warning drivers have the more likely I am not going to be another emergency responder hit by another motorist

POIs: automatically recognize location and search option
Currently there is no 'City' field in the POI definition. When defining a new one (for instance gas station or train station), you have to specify the city in the name if you want to make it findable within a city search (for instance you want to serach all gas station in the city you are wazing). Thus congesting the map.
Maybe an option when searching for POIs to restrain research within a certain range would be helpful too.55 votes -
Waze in Android auto new version not showng full screen
Hello
I use waze a lot with android auto.
In the latest Android auto they add new feature with two widget below the waze navigation window. It is impossible to remove it with waze. On the other hand with google maps it works ok and when you duble press the google maps logo it remove the widgets. It will be nice if you update waze for android auto. Thanks1 vote -
Incident/slowdown on map view when selecting route
About a year ago, when using the map view to select a route on the Android app, you were able to see traffic slowdowns. This was super helpful when trying to decide which route to use. Currently, when you view the list, it shows traffic speeds by color and incidents/hazards/police, but there is no way to know exactly where the accident or slowdown is located. If you look at the map view, the proposed route is all one color, and doesn't show slowdowns or incidents.
It would be great to at least see the orange, yellow, and red colors for…

add a plugin method, e.g. radar detector
There is an iPhone app called "radar active" that allows realtime updates of speed traps. The sounds various radar detectors make (or dataports like on the Valentine V1) could be used to automatically add speed-trap / false alarm information to the map. Android has easy ways to add external hardware, but the microphone could be used on any platform with the right audio processing software.

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.

ActiveAlert
As a first responder, my company uses an app called ActiveAlert to show who is responding to a call, and where they are. This app also includes navigation built in through its own navigation software, Apple Maps, and Google Maps. Can Waze be integrated also? And when it is integrated, send real-time HAAS Alerts to nearby Wazers when using the ActiveAlert App and navigated to a call?

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.

Time dependent Speed Limits
We really need the ability to add time dependent Speed Limits for school zones or other times of the day where the maximum speed limit changes, this would not only help with navigation slow downs (which most school zones wouldn't affect too much anyway) but would also increase safety for drivers and pedestrians in the area.
If we were able to set speed limits during specific times of the day it would mean a popup warning for a changed speed would mean users would be aware and slow down and hopefully prevent accidents from occurring in this speed sensitive zones.

Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not right now, since we finalized our plans for 2024 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
We hope to include it in our plans for later down the line.

Please add an ETA feature accessible from Apple Car Play
Apple Maps recently added an ETA feature that is accessible from Apple Car Play, and I'm hoping Waze does the same (so that I don't have to touch my phone to use the ETA feature). For now I will continue to use Apple Maps and Waze at the same time so I can easily tell my wife my ETA w/out having to touch my phone while driving.
