Improve display for alternate routs
When alternate routs are displayed, the route description is displayed in small, grey, hard to read font. A larger and darker font would help.
This option of alternate routs is useful during drive to conclude if a suggested "exotic" route really save significant time.6 votes -
Optional "no map" (trip computer) view when route is known
8 out of 10 times I use Waze driving to and from work, a route I know very well so I don't need Waze to show me my position on the map.
What I instead would like is a "trip computer" kind of interface, showing me things like my current speed, current speed limit (if known), maybe a color code for traffic ahead on route (green, yellow, red), ETA, current road name (nice to have, not need to have - I know where I am), live updates of incidents (needs to update themselves automatically), textual navigation instructions like "turn right…15 votes -
Add favourite song button on players (spotify/tidal/youtube ect.)
In music apps we have got 3 buttons (left play/pause and right). I propose to add button "add to favourite (heart)" There are a lot of situations when you are driving, some random playlist is playing and one of the songs is so good you wanna add it to your favs - now you need to stop, switch to music app, add to fav and go back on road.
5 votesGreat news! The option to mark the song as favorite is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

Make the upcoming lane turn arrows (at the top of the screen when driving) either larger or a clearer colour. Struggle to see them.
The arrows at the top of the screeen are a light grey and a not so visible white.
Larger or clearer arrows would help us older drivers.2 votes -
Return Route same as Initial Route
I had to drive to Greenville, NC from Morehead City. And the route was different than the return home. The return home was actually longer, and took me on a lot of smaller streets and small towns instead of the large streets that was the initial out. This should be critical

Android Auto Points Integration
Allow for the collection of points from driving and reports made while using Android Auto. My account shows -1 points even though I drive with Waze on my Android Auto head unit daily and make plenty of reports. I even get the weekly summary of my reports but never get any points from these reports.

Present Route Options First
I recently was going to drive home, a 30 mile trip. Waze said traffic was bad and it was going to take an hour and twenty minutes. I opened up the route options and was appalled to see Waze was going to take me on a route 52.7 miles (for a 30 mile trip) to save 11 minutes. Drive an extra 22.7 miles?! Cmon Waze, gotta do better than that. Please initiate routes by allowing us to select our route by showing us an overview of our options. Thanks!

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.

use Android API for event buttons and text input
to report traffic/event irrelevancy it is darn hard to hit that tiny round button with a caret (>) at the end of the event item. instead I should be able to use a long press on a much broader list item to pop up the menu. also, the menu that pops up ought to be from the API. it would create bigger buttons (better for touch sensitive devices) and makes for a much more consistent device use experience plus it would make it more accessible while driving. More accessible means less accidents.
also text input. there seems to be no…

Make the previous/next song buttons larger in the Spotify window.
Make the hitboxes of these buttons larger, so it is easier to change songs while driving.
For example they could receive touches from the left- or rightmost part of their row in the Spotify window.

Add the option to Refresh the Routes offered when in view, or Auto-Refresh them
A few years ago I've asked for a quick button for showing alternative routes, which you've implemented, and for that I'm grateful.
This time I want to ask that the list of Routes be continuously updated, either automatically, or with a "Refresh" button at the top.
Most of the time when I drive to work I know the routes and don't need to look at the map, so I would like just the routes page to open - but it doesn't refresh and I need to keep going out of it and back into it to see the updates. It…9 votes -
Informing WAZE of blocked roads is problematic
Informing WAZE of blocked roads is problematic. There should be just one quick button which only says blocked and is used when the road that WAZE recommended was not taken because it was blocked. Currently a four way intersection has four choices on which part is blocked but you cannot stop in the middle of a busy intersection to tell WAZE which of the four roads is blocked. Past the intersection, it is difficult to enter this data into WAZE while still driving. A single blocked button will let WAZE figure out which recommended road was not taken.

Alert while not in navigation
It would be great that Waze can alert you even if you are not enter the route so if you just launch the app and start driving.
You won’t enter destination and selecting route if you’re driving to work every day but you still can get the ticket for speeding..3 votes -
quick Location marker button
Please add the option that with a click of one button or one touch of the screen that would mark the exact location of the incident or notification to be made. This would greatly improve the accuracy of the reports being made. From experience, reports are made a good distance away from the incident depending on how fast driving, how safe it is to make the report at the time, or how fast one comes up on the item to report.

Fix the drive time planner under “arrive at”
Every single time I check how long it takes to get somewhere now, then hit leave at and scroll to when I want to arrive, waze underestimated the time. Ex: just now, takes 20 minutes if I leave now, hit arrive at in 30 minutes, says 15 minutes, even though the bars on the right are still the same, meaning no change in traffic volumes. No matter time of day or traffic volume you always get a drive that is shorter than it actually is. Sometimes you get an alert soon after saying the time has been updated and you…

New adult looking display... The update looks like a child designed it
The new update on Android really killed Waze in my opinion. I like the new button layout and placements, but there are a few problems with the display.
a) Color scheme - Looks like a child colored it in. I would like not so vibrant colors and more professional looking.
b) The view port - It seems to show much more of the road you have already passed than it did before the update. I'm not concerned with the road I have already driven on, I would much rather see more ahead.
c) Road Thickness - WAY too thick!!! At…12 votes -
AskWazersBox - a hybrid reporting tool enhancing Wazers and Map Editors cooperation
As StreetView is often outdated or just does not exist when trying to keep Waze Maps updated with latest road constructions or changes, road configurations/restrictions/speed limits/signs etc. needs to be checked and verified on-spot. There's no chance Waze Map Editors will go and check everything themselves. We have so many Wazers driving around that could help them answering specific questions.
I suggest creating a hybrid reporting tool that would extend existing reporting functionality and help Waze Map Editors gathering specific answers they need directly from Wazers who are on-spot. This would let to keep Waze Maps updated as fast and…

A way to edit the map when not driving or passenger
So I’m driving and I see a horrible accident on the other side of the road or on my side of the road. I’m focused on driving and I get a mile away from the initial accident there’s no way to go back and report it’s only when driving. Maybe I can get to report an accident on the other side but I don’t have the ability to report maybe it’s blocking the right hand lane as well there is no way to report that either as of now too. Maybe not even for passengers too like I know it…

Track my car's vitals; build database for community benefits
This is a big idea, no small undertaking I know. I'd like to combine my GPS app with the functionality of an app like Gas Cubby, which tracks my MPG at every fill-up and alerts me when my car is due for maintenance.
Here's how I envision it:
-I tell Waze what car I drive: ex: 2003 Saturn Vue, 6 cyl, automatic
-Every time I stop to fill up, I tell Was
