Settings for types of alerts to allow
There are many types of alerts the Waze client can display as a layer on the map and/or pop up on your screen, sometimes both visual and audible. We would like to see an new Settings area added for the types of alerts we want to see and/or ignore and never have a notification appear or be heard.
The notifications should include at least, but not necessarily limited to:
Speed cams
Red light cams
Police (speed trap)
Road Hazards
Road segment speed condition
Traffic Jams
Chit Chat
Accident233 votesGreat news! For each type of report/alert you’re able to specify whether you’d like it do be displayed on the route. Accessed via Settings – Alerts&Reports – Reports. What’s more, you can choose area (e.g. 5 km around you) for which reports will be displayed on the map.

CarPlay synergy
When paired with a car play device the speed cameras on the map (especially on motorways) should be displayed similarly to the mobile version (with the blue circle) showing you exactly where the camera is located.

UI Idea
I suggest a controller layout.
Where when you are in drive mode you can swipe to the right and have massive buttons.
Customisable buttons with customisable actions.
Most importantly a report speed camera button or police or construction.You swipe right and you can have a robot layout
3 buttons.
Or a controller top right bottom left layout.
And customisable and different actions to it.
1. Speed camera.
2. Record audio for later.

Calculate fuel consumption and show cost of the route
It would be great to be able to enter the average fuel consumption for certain speeds for your vehicle and then while calculating show also the cost of the route. It can be calculated by known speeds on the road, the need to stop and go on traffic lights, the overall profile of the route. There is an iPhone app that can serve as an inspiration - http://drivegain.com

Manually set Speeds for different vehicle setups
I use Waze to drive a jeep, jeep & trailer, bus and trucks.
Legally towing, bus & truck must travel at lower speeds in the cars and jeeps.
It would be really helpful if we could:
1) create different vehicle profiles for the same driver and switch between them.
2) Have the option to be able to manually input the max speeds for vehicle profile eg National roads in Ireland are 80km for bus, truck and towing and 100km for bus and 90km for truck and towing on motorways. This would be more for calculating journey times than …

My Ford navigation system shows the posted speed limits as I drive through them. It would be nice if WAZE could do that!
Posted speed limits on the app.

Speed limit
If possible to place the speedlimit on the left top or right top. It’s a lot safer for us as motorriders to look up in stead of the bottom of the map

Interval Tone for Speeding
Pls provide a setting for interval tone warnings for a selected speed threshold - ex. if/when I go >/= 70mph give a tone every 5/10/15/30 seconds. Doesn't have to be anything fancy - a simple beep or boop will do.

Unable to Submit Reports When Toast Messages (e.g. Tollbooth, Speed Bump) Appear
I’ve noticed an issue when trying to submit a report while driving near certain map elements such as tollbooths or speed bumps. When the short “toast” messages like “Tollbooth ahead” or “Speed bump” appear, they overlap the Submit button on the report screen. This makes the button temporarily inaccessible, preventing me from submitting the report until the toast message disappears.
It would be great if the UI could adjust to prevent this overlap — for example, by repositioning the toast message or allowing the report submission button to remain accessible at all times.

Traking travel
When phone connect to car , autostart Waze, saving address During travel record position on map, with speed. When stop car shut down save position and stop waze. Result : map of trip can be available, including road used and speed top and average. Trafic condition can be automatic for or wazers because all cars speed are record and compared with speed limit of roads (if under limit mean trafic, difference in percentage show the trafic density). Look to have one idea Vezma App. Make what I suggest but don't do all that Vaze offer.

Speedcam reporting in Client.
Please add possibillity to set speed limit of road when reporting speed cameras. This will make it 10 times easier to get quality data. Perhaps even when reporting the speed cam, an quick enter speed limit dialogue with the road signs of the country. Something that could be downloaded with the voice files perhaps?

Improve the UI
- Speed Camera/Hazard/Red Light Cam pop up is too big & obscures lane navigation. Make it smaller! This is particularly detrimental when lane change is close to the speed cam and driver can't see the lane guidance
- After passing speed/red light camera, why the 10sec delay showing the warning? Not useful at all. Just a small icon will do, why take up precious screen space
- Can't close the speed cam/hazard pop up as the cursor keeps defaulting back to Search icon (I use a navigation dial on my Audi, which does not have touch screen interface). As it…

Speedometer size and location
On my 9 inch car android, speedometer is barely visible.
1. The size should be adjustable.
2. The colors should be adjustable.
3. The position should be moveable.
4. Beeping sound and duration should be customizable.
5. Speed limit should blink after certain speed limit43 votes -
Make the speedometer movable (floating mode)
Hi Waze team,
I’d like to suggest adding an option to make the speedometer movable or floating. When using Waze in landscape mode, alerts such as speed camera warnings sometimes cover the speedometer, making it impossible to see the current speed. I often rely on it because it shows the exact speed, so having the ability to move or reposition it would be very helpful.
Thank you for considering this improvement!

O Waze deviria avisar todos os locais de radares, indepenente da Speed.
Bom dia,
Moro no brasil, na cidade de São Paulo e uso muito o Waze.
Aqui em São Paulo há muitos radares de velocidade e as multas são muito frequentes.
Minha sugestão:
Gostaria que o Waze me avisasse sempre que tivesse um radar, independente da minha velocidade. Desta maneira tenho a possibilidade de ir memorizando os locais e assim evitar multas.
Este problema de multa por velocidade em São Paulo, é muito grande e se o Waze pudesse incrementar, melhorar os avisos e alertas, iria nos ajudar muito.Obrigado,
Fernando Pimentel

Make fully customizable alerts
You guys should make the alerts customizable. For example, I want to get the app to make a sound when I'm approaching a speed camera or something while above the speed limit. Now, if I set the sound as "Alerts" it only makes a sound when there's a speed bump which is useless because there are 6 street signs before every bump! Make a big list of all possible alerts and allow the user to choose what they want to define as alert deserving stuff

Speeding Threshold Exceeded Alert could be more prominent
The alert for exceeding the speeding threshold is a rather low volume ding. An option for louder and/or more prominent like the red light camera alert would be awesome. Thx

Indication of danger zones even without navigation With Android Auto
Is it possible to receive notifications of danger zones even when using Waze without navigation?
Living in France, we have danger zones, not speed cameras.
The problem is that the danger zone notifications only exist when using navigation with Waze, and if no one reports a speed camera, we don't receive any notifications!
It would be nice if this option were compatible with Android Auto.1 vote
