Incomplete heads up display info On Lincoln Nautilus 2024
Thanks for the new update 5.4 which allows Waze to be displayed on the built in heads up /instrument cluster.
However the direction box in the top right corner only gives the distance and not the street names or correct lane for the next turning. Because of this will need to look at the main infotainment thus rendering the heads up/ built in display information incomplete and confusing. Please add the complete information on the heads up display so that it is usable.2 votes -
Too many alerts on speed reduction
The alert "speed reduction ahead" became too invasive. Travelling on a mountain road or in the middle of nowhere waze keeps alerting about slowdowns ahead. This becomes quite annoying after 30-40km of road and 40-50 alerts about speed reduction ahead. It foces the user to silence the alerts... including the one important for the security. I would limit those announces. Thank you. Luca

Electric Vehicle
Hello Devs,
I am currently in Ontario. I own an electric vehicle (with plate something like GVXX 123).
In Ontario, as far as I am aware of, all HOV Lanes are eglible to use the HOV even if there's only the driver on the vehicle. I believe in British Colmbia it's the same.By default, even if I have my vehicle type set as "Electric", Waze still try to navigate me outside HOV/Avoid HOV all together.
I understand everytime when I need to navigate to somewhere, the app will ask me "2+ People for HOV access". However in real life, whether I have 2+ people in the car, it would not matter the eglibity of my HOV access.
My recommendation/suggestion is, when Vehicle type is set to "Electric", in some provinces/states, Allow HOV access without asking passenger count, and automatically recommending HOV usage if traffic condition allows (For instance, I am navigating from somewhere in Ontario to anywhere else in Ontario)
This would help simplify navigation, and avoid confusion (eg, the app keep telling me to exit HOV and re-route me, which I am not sure it's due to traffic or what).
Thank you!

Give us back the classic robot voice
Give us the option to have the classic 'robot' voices back (specifically Kate UK). This new "more human" voice is not conducive to how I use Waze, because I find that I tune out instructions that sound like just a person talking in the car. I want my driving instructions to sound like instructions, not idle car chitchat.

Prioritize freeways option
I drive large trucks and trailers on a regular basis, and in my CDL course we're taught to stick to state roads with a number or a letter, examples: state highway 10, county highway N. If it's got a name we probably shouldn't be on it. There's the button to avoid freeways, but I'd love the opposite as it would be a simple way to do truck/trailer/rv friendly routes.
Even in my personal car I'd prefer it as I prefer cruising over stoping/turning all the time. Also in my experience the state and county highways are usually more well maintained and easier on my cars suspension
No driving app does this and it's missing an entire demographic of drivers

Add skip next turn
You know when you are about to turn and there are two exits close to each other in a distance of 100m? When Waze says to turn right, you understand you turn right in the next exit, but sometimes you have to skip an exit and take the next, which are very close to each other and makes confusion. My idea is to add a sign under the turning symbol (in-app). When you are 300m away from the exit and there are two posible exits, it shows a turning symbol crossed (indicating you don't take that exit) and above it a normal turning symbol so you know you take the exit after that.

Pick up on construction re-routes.
I just used Waze via Android Auto to take me home. The route it picked had an entry way ramp that was closed. There was road re-route markers BUT Waze first wanted me to turn around and go back to the ramp THAT WAS CLOSED! While following the road markers for the re-route Waze never did pick up on that until the very end of the re-route. Jeez, pay attention to road construction conditions. I guess you get what you pay for, aye?

BUG: Using phone speaker option not working in CarPlay (latest iOS)
Waze should play sounds through the phone speakers when connected to CarPlay and when this setting is set in the Waze options. Situation right now is, that this option get fully ignored. This is bad when the phone outputs to a different audio device e.g. through bluetooth and the CarPlay sounds are muted. You have no change to get any audio from Waze in this situation. Please fix or at least also support output to different bluetooth device while connected to CarPlay.

Android Auto - Settings icon
Hello.
I use Android, everything is up to date. When I get in and start the car, Android Auto starts and there is a settings icon in the Waze application. While driving, this icon disappears and after stopping the car it is not visible. So when I want to set something, I have to disconnect and reconnect when the car is stationary. I understand that some settings are not allowed while driving, but they could be visible.
Thanks for your help2 votes -
Record audio while reporting an issue (and convert to text?)
When I'm using "report an issue" functionality in CarPlay/while driving, I cannot type what the issue is about. Later, when I'm asked by some community member what the issue is about, I have to recall what it was about and there were cases that I forgot. The issue categories got narrowed so we can't pick the exact issue while reporting it (I don't understand the removal of speed limit issue - the most common issue I'm reporting!).
Since Waze has access to my microphone, I was thinking that maybe a short recording could be made after I report an issue with the map (optionally). This way we can leave a note to the person who will take care of the report. A transcript will do to! I'm open to suggestions.

Make visual improvements
Make visual improvements, especially in detours, exits, etc. to make it more visually attractive. In many applications there is a 3D view of exits, detours, etc., which is very clear and visually appealing.

Ghost, or Soap. Call Of Duty Roadmap Voice

Highway and street name voice alerts
Waze should announce highway and street names like it used to. Busy traffic and directions like strait, right and left can be hard to navigate with heavy traffic and confusing areas.
EG stay right on hwy 35 south or turn right on commerce street.
Strait can be deceiving and confusing when both lanes go strait but they veer off after you pass your exit.2 votes -
Blitzer- und Gefahrenmeldungen
In vielen Städten wie Wuppertal veröffentlichen die Behörden wöchentlich Pläne, auf denen die Standorte mobiler Blitzer von Montag bis Freitag angekündigt werden. Mein Vorschlag ist, dass Waze diese offiziellen Daten automatisch integriert, um Nutzer:innen proaktiv zu warnen.
Vorteile:
- Höhere Genauigkeit und Zuverlässigkeit der Blitzerwarnungen durch offizielle Quellen.
- Zeitersparnis für Nutzer:innen, die Blitzer nicht manuell melden müssen.
- Bessere Verkehrssicherheit durch präzise Vorabinformationen.Umsetzungsmöglichkeiten:
1. Kooperation mit Städten, um digitale Pläne (z.B. via API) einzubinden.
2. Automatische Markierung der betroffenen Straßen mit Hinweisen wie:
„Hohe Wahrscheinlichkeit für mobilen Blitzer (Quelle: Stadt Wuppertal)“.Hinweis:
Falls eine automatisierte Integration nicht möglich ist, könnte das Waze-Team die Daten manuell wöchentlich aktualisieren.Beispielbild vom Blitzer Plan (Quelle: Stadt Wuppertal):
