Shutdown dialog no longer shows up on first back button or swipe back
Android: Waze used to always show the shutdown dialog box when the back button was pressed or swiped back. Now if I launch Waze and then swipe back, it will go to my home screen and continue running. The behavior is the same if I am already navigating to a destination. Once I return to the home screen, if I open Waze again and then swipe back, it will show the dialog box. Please re-enable the dialog anytime a back swipe is issued. Thanks!

Android Auto horizonatal layout is horrible
The latest update made it far worse than it was before:
1. Can not start planned drives from Android Auto at all (WTAF?)
2. The default focus (when not using touchscreen in a car, but a wheel to navigate on the screen) is always in the wrong and illogical spot.
3. Alerts cover your current location which is annoying - and the current location is not centered on the screen (horizontal layout).
4. The current speed can also be covered with other screen elements when not navigating just viewing the map
5. Too much clutter and unnecessary bubble…2 votes -
Android Auto car position
The car (Alpine iLx)! represented on the screen shows on the bottom edge. I get you are trying to show as much as possible about the future, but I think it'd too low on the screen. Could you move it up half a representative car length?
Thank youDave

Voice reporting
It's dangerous to take your eyes off the road to tap the phone. Simple, single word utterances could be made for each button on the screen so reporting could be both timely, and safe.
1 voteGreat news! Voice reporting with Google Assistant is now available in Waze.

Hello!
I have 3 suggestions what can be changed or added in app.
1. It will be nice, for me, if i can have outer temperature in navigation screen during driving. I have old car which dont have this feature by default.
App can refresh this very often if outer temperature feature is enabled in app during driving (navigation mode)
2. I like on google maps app, when i set my direction and navigation mode starts i can turn off my screen on smartphone to save energy.when i want slto see where i am and details from navigation, i just…3 votes -
Android Auto - layout
The rectangle with the indications uses almost half of the screen and reduces a lot the visualisation of the map. I think that it can be reduced or displaced to the lower left corner.

Small footprint car icon set on the iPhone
Could you please consider to either bring back or reintroduce small footpeimt car icon set. There was very basic set of a blue, yellow or green car set, that were smaller in size and for the smaller car screens they were very ergonomic. Now with the replacement of a larger versions, map screen becomes more cluttered, larger car icon takes more space on the screen and does not bring any value just distraction. When you try to glance to the screen while driving you see big car icon first and then trying to figure out what is around the…

using Bluetooth to update GPS devices
I can see waze incident reports in Google maps. Why not use the Bluetooth link already established between some smartphone and GPS devices to update traffic data on the GPS device? My garmin already talks to an app on my android, I'd much rather waze data was picked-up and displayed on the device screen...

Android Auto Enhancements
The Android Auto integration is pretty good, but what would make it perfect is just a couple tweaks:
1) Make it auto-start when you start Android Auto. I don't mean it would come up instead of the AA home screen, I mean unlike Google Maps, when you have Waze as your default mapping app, your typical destinations don't appear on the AA home screen until you click the map icon. I also cannot hit my car's "Nav" button to get me into Waze until I've manually opened it once. With Google Maps as default, I can hit Nav button…

Built-in drive safely
I believe it would be worthwhile to build-in in Waze a Drive-safely module, disconnecting tel/messages/ and so on , as all apps I tried somewhere corrupt the Waze Gps screen. As Waze knows I'm driving , knows where I'm driving to , and even know at which speed I believe it is not a really difficult programmation .

Roam free in parking lot
If a parking lot is marked as a landmark in WME, let the client roam freely within the area without 'snapping' to the nearest road. The advantage is that your location relative to entry/exit can be seen and the screen doesn't jump all over the place trying to guess which lane/road you are nearest.

Shorten clicks needed for reporting hazard on road/on shoulder.
When driving, trying to press the multi-clicks needed to report on road/on shoulder hazard is frequently impossible. With many states having the "move over" law, having ample warning for vehicles on the shoulder is critical. Would be nice to be able to customize one or two buttons to put on the Home Screen that can be activated with one click.

PITSTOP button
The screen needs a “PITSTOP” button for rest area, gas and food stops. The continual redirection as soon as you leave the programmed route is annoying and unnecessary. You could just hit PITSTOP as you leave the route and then press it again when you return to the chosen route. You could have a color coded button to make it easier to read.

Action "Navigation Home\Work" for Scenarios (Samsung)
In Samsung s24 Ultra there is Scenarios.
There I can define "if xxxx do next actions xxxx,xxxx,***,...".
I can open waze by scenario , but I get it opened automatically by Android Auto in any way.
Google maps has option to choose : open Google Maps, Navigation Home and Navigation Work.
For waze there is only open Waze.
I tried to set Navigation by URL link&navigaton=yes , but it doesn't work with locked screen.1 vote -
Display next instuction after the current one
It would be really handy if you could always show the turn instruction after the current on screen instruction. It will help with early lane positioning. Ideally including the lane that you need to be in.

speed control
Instead of just a small circle of red around the speed when the driver is exceeding the limit, the entire screen could flash red . This would make it more obvious to the driver that they are speeding. Not all navigation screens are high set.

worrisome design trends lately
I'm noticing some worrisome design trends lately in Waze, please don't ruin an app that was almost perfect as it was!
Examples:
1) forcing Google Assitant down our throats, when the voice recognition Waze used before was flawless;
2) those arrows on top (lane guidance) telling which lane to use are completely unnecessary and redundant and take up screen real estate;
3) the new speed camera warning in white down below is ugly af, contrasts with my dark color scheme, and again, takes up valuable screen real estate unnecessarily and reduces the part of the map we see, it was…2 votes
