1. Ability to Adjust navigation volume

   Waze needs the ability to adjust navigation volume level when Waze isn't saying something. Google maps has this option in Android Auto if you go to settings and play test navigation audio. Then you can adjust the vehicle's navigation volume level.

2. Lettering and symbol size increase independent of background. Alpine GPS has larger overlay than pioneer han Pioneer

   Map overlay,(place and street names, speed symbol) are large rand clearer on Alpine GPS than Pioneer. As this appears to have a separate function, an option control for size and darkness appreciated.
   All map editing functions( contras, colour, temp) on current app will not alter this aspect. Zoom map size increases but text too small.

3. Simple Voice Commands To Respond to Alerts or Hazards

   Hi. Love Waze, but this idea is one of three that would take it from good to great for me...

   Problem: It is a dangerous practice to interact with screens and mobile devices while driving a vehicle. In response to safety concerns, laws are increasingly being put in place prohibiting interacting with screens (touching devices) while driving. Some simple voice commands would enable meaningful interaction with Waze in this situation.

   Possible Solutions:
   1) Only while an alert is displayed, enable very simple voice commands to improve the quality of alert (hazard warnings), for example 'Still there' or 'Gone'.
   2) If/when (1) was successfully implemented, move to enabling the identification of new hazards/alerts as a second phase, for example, 'New hazard' then 'pot hole'. This could include a 'Please confirm the identification of a new hazard Yes or No', to which the drive could just respond with 'Yes', 'confirm' or 'no'.

4. Support for health conditions color ribbons as moods and national day of* icons

   Cancer, Gastroparesis, Type One Diabetes...etc all have ribbons, Wazers would like to support their causes by selecting a color ribbon as their vehicle mood And be able to select other moods icons in support of their favorite national holiday that Waze suggests when opening the app for the first time on the day of the holiday. See available holidays at nationaltoday.com for examples of fun national day of celebrations. Ex: Would have been fun to see all Wazers moods on map, looking like their favorite kind or color of donut on national donut day for instance.

5. Create a waze GPS system apart from an app. Like Tom Tom and Garmin. Keep people off their phones.

   Police, Swat, and ambulances use other devices apart from Waze because it is not on a phone and is installed in their vehicles. Allow the public to have a screen that is separate from the phone and it can benefit even the public safety protocols.

6. Option to Increase Map Symbol Size in Waze for CarPlay

   The map symbols in Waze on CarPlay are currently too small, especially when the map is zoomed out. Important icons such as mobile speed cameras are barely visible while driving.

   We kindly request a feature that allows users to adjust the size of map symbols manually, either via settings or dynamic scaling. Ideally, symbols should be allowed to scale up to the size of the current vehicle position icon (navigation arrow) for better visibility.

   This feature would greatly improve safety and usability, as many essential warnings are currently too easy to miss.

   Thank you for considering this improvement.

7. Simplify how to report issues

   Have you considered added a few quick report buttons to the map screen? have to click through multiple screen is a hazard not only to you, the driver but to everyone on the road around you. Having a quick click button right on the map for 3-5 of the most common reports ie: vehicle on the side of road, accident (you don't report whether it's a minor or major accident and to be honest, we don't care. We only car that there is an issue up ahead.) traffic (again, minor or major are of no concern), road works.

   I forgot, perhaps make it hand free, all Siri or Google or whoever your AI is, to listen and report the issue. Google assistant does this already but only for accidents which, thankfully, are few and far between

   I love the idea of people helping others by reporting issues but not at the risk of injury.

   Hey, 

   Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not planned, 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.

   Thanks!

   
   

8. A second nickname for use while driving dangerous mountain passes.

   All WAZE apps would have an optional second nickname that is the same for all WAZE users. (ex. "SafetyTrakr") When selected this nickname would be visible to local incident response agencies so they could track your path as you travel through dangerous areas such as mountain paths during severe weather. If your icon stops or disappears, that would be cause for concern by the emergency response agency. For those with privacy concerns, it could be turned on only if you get stranded in one of these monitored areas. Your icon would then show up as being a stopped vehicle.

9. Open Top Option

   I dive a convertible and can't hear the voice with the top down. The text at the top of the map is too small to read with a quick glance. Please add an open top option to split the screen and provide a large text area to show the next navigation step and count down the distance to it.

11. One touch notices

    I have been a loyal wazer for years and use the Apple CarPlay interface. These are my suggestions:
    A) The main screen should have THREE one touch HOT BUTTONS:
    1) Object on road
    2) Vehicle on Shoulder
    3) Police

    It currently takes two or three clicks to achieve these 3 most common alerts. The change can use simple icons and safety would be greatly improved.

    B) When Waze re-routes me, it needs to give more explanation. Examples:
    1) “Re-routing due to accident mile marker 204”
    2) “Re-routing due to traffic saving 10 minutes”
    3) “Re-routing due to construction”

    Thanks!

12. Use predictive modeling to better route traffic during a major traffic event

    Western Washington state experienced a major traffic event when a train derailed and shut down Interstate 5 for the whole day. 60K vehicles use that stretch of I-5 every day. I used Waze to navigate home, but a 40 minute drive turned into 5.5 hours because of the accident and using side roads.

    Waze tried its best to find the best route, but the predicted two-hour drive kept getting worse and worse. Of course, there's not much historic information to know how to the side and back roads would reach to that much traffic flooding onto them, but Waze failed spectacularly.

    The suggestion I have is to look at an event like the Puget Sound I-5 incident on 12/18 and learn how to better route that much traffic. There is a way to assign cars different routes to best distribute the load instead of directing people to a route that is good now, but because a thousand cars are now on a small farm road, you've created a worse mess.

    Waze kept digging itself into a deeper and deeper hole. The other issue is that there was an actual emergency alert that came across about "severe traffic delays". I hope Waze is tied into the emergency alert system so that it can incorporate those alerts into the app.

    This wasn't an emergency like an earthquake, fire or lahar, but Waze can serve an important function in situations like this if it did a better job of looking ahead into an unknown situation and making additional recommendations besides "the best route".

    Predictive modeling of how many cars Waze is routing onto small roads could better anticipate how small roads fill and how they "drain" when there is a major, unforeseen traffic event.

13. New idea to add to Waze alerts from Green Bay, Wisconsin. BROWN COUNTY, Wis. (WBAY) — Drivers using some of the major interstates and highwa

    BROWN COUNTY, Wis. (WBAY) — Drivers using some of the major interstates and highways in Northeast Wisconsin will now notice a new alert on message boards warning them when there’s a wrong-way driver.

    It is one of the scariest moments drivers could face — heading down the highway or interstate at 70 miles an hour and headlights come straight at you.

    Brown County Sheriff’s Patrol Captain Dan Sandberg says it’s all too common and often ends with someone injured or killed, as happened on I-41 in southern Brown County in August.

    “It’s almost a weekly occurrence that we have somebody wrong way on the highway. Just recently, again last week, had another wrong way driver on (Interstate) 43,” says Sandberg.

    So when he saw a story we aired recently about message boards in Milwaukee County alerting people about wrong way drivers, he set to work to make it possible here.

    A few phone calls and one meeting later, the new alert system was activated last Thursday.

    Four days later, it was already put to use for an elderly driver going the wrong way on I-43.

    “It could take the officers, depending on where they are, anywhere from a couple minutes to five minutes to 10 minutes to get in that area, and that’s extra time we can warn whoever’s driving on that highway,” says Sandberg.

    “And that way people can be paying attention to it, because if you’ve got two vehicles at speeds of 70-75 miles an hour towards each other, you don’t have much time to react.”
    Here’s what happens: The 911 call comes into the Brown County Communications Center. Deputies are dispatched, and immediately dispatchers then call the State Traffic Operations Center in Milwaukee, which controls DOT message boards and cameras.

    With the punch of a few buttons, an alert reading “wrong way driver reported: use caution” will appear on message boards on the roads where the driver was last seen.

    “If you see a sign come up, what you need to do is start paying attention to every car that’s coming in the opposite direction of you to ensure that vehicle is actually on the correct side of the roadway,” advises Sandberg.

    He says most wrong way drivers are in the left lane, thinking they’re on a two lane road, so if you see one, stay to the right and call 911.

    Sandberg says, currently, alerts can broadcast on message boards on Highways 172 and 29 and Interstates 43 and 41, where he says the majority of wrong way drivers are reported.

    But this is not just happening in Brown County. Sandberg says the Department of Transportation is working to expand the system to Outagamie and Winnebago Counties, too.

14. Lane Assignments / Off-ramp Turns

    I love Waze…. Hands-down, best traffic app there is! But I also absolutely HATE the app at times, especially when I miss my turn. The interface at interstate intersections, on and off ramps, is subpar to say the least. This is where Waze fails miserably. Every other app there is, or pre installed vehicle navigation systems, do such a better job at breaking down lane assignments or alerting to difficult or congested intersections. Waze needs to do better! I cannot miss anymore turns at off-ramps … I will pull the rest of my hair out!

15. Consider special accounts that could report roadside issues from desktop/elsewhere

    Two aspects to this idea.

    First there are people who work for organizations which may have data they wish to report about a roadside hazard who aren't in their vehicles or with the hazard. After a vetting process, their accounts could be given the ability to report issues via desktop app in real time. This could be city workers, police dispatchers, emergency roadside/towing dispatchers. They could report accidents, people in ditches etc.

    Secondarily to that, emergency roadside and police are now often working with haas and safety cloud so incidents do get automatically reported when an emergency vehicle is on scene with lights going. This could be extended further to work at the dispatching level with such organizations to receive all roadside reports automatically.

16. Improvement recommendations for Android Auto

    • Bring back the voice search button (icon) to the screen even in AA also in local language (e.g. Hungarian)
    • Tank station (and other POI) search along the calculated route with the calculated detour time in result list
    • split screen support for the new AA (like in Google Maps)
    • Automatic switch to bird view (route plan overview) if the distance between two navigation legs is over a given distance (e.g 5 km) and switch back to normal view at the next leg. It would be nice for follow up the current status of the vehicle on a longer route.

17. Add shuffle playlist option to Spotify integration

    While the Spotify integration is a neat idea I would like it to have the ability to shuffle play a playlist. I have one large playlist of multiple genres that I basically use as a radio station. However, I don't want to play straight through it. I want it to shuffle so I hear different genres and artists. Currently that isn't possible.

18. Traffic volume (number of vehicles) per road segment per 5-min interval

    It would be great to have a real time information about the number of vehicles that pass through a given location (sensor measuring this info) or through a road segment in five-minute time intervals. Such sampling will give an excellent snapshot of the current status, which is valued by anyone on the road. Especially relevant for city centres but also major highways/freeways.

19. Besides Toll route and No toll route there should be a third option: No Toll (except Bridge tolls) route

    Besides Toll route and No toll route there should be a third option: No Toll (except Bridge tolls) route
    There should be an option to apply the above choice across the whole route to the destination or state by state or highway by highway.
    For hazards and police, the “Still there” and “ Not there” choice is available only for a short period of time. It’s only after passing the location that one knows whether it is still there or not.
    Generally graphics are poor: the icons for road hazard, police, construction are not intuitive. The graphics of car icons could be improved. Some are too large.
    In Toll and HOV passes, it is not clear what a user is supposed to do - remove all passes that a user does not have?
    The Waze gas prices and ads are not reliable - BP had advertised on Waze a price of $3.19, at the gas station was charged $3.39. Looked at the add again - it was still advertising gas at $3.19.

20. keep the road ahead clear

    the driver is now an arrow in the middle of the map screen when navigating/driving- keep the driver at the bottom of the screen so the more of the path ahead is visible. (not interested where the driver has been rather where he/she is going) Also, the banners of alerts hide a large section of the map screen.

    Thanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.
