Sailor Moon on Waze
Since Waze has done licensed media themes moods, voices and vehicles in the past, I would like to see Sailor Moon themed moods, voices and vehicles in a future Waze update.

Improve stability.
Waze app stability with Apple CarPlay needs improvement I have used it for years, but glitches are frustrating.
If a get a phone call while using it, it disables the radio, and I have to reset the source after hanging up.
The customized car icon turns into a blue dot, which remains stationary despite actual movement of my vehicle.
I am Ray Iglesias (Username CaptProvolone56 and have 169,027 points. I started using Google maps a few days ago, which runs smoothly.
I like the Waze app, but not at the above price.1 vote -
reduce size of alert box and still their box after iOS 16 update cannot see directions on screen
Since the iOS 16 update, the alert box is so large on the left side that you can’t see your next turn or miles or anything until you click still there or not. I still need to be able to see directions with the alerts as it’s caused me to miss, turns quickly when it pops up or it makes me just click still there instead of actually waiting to see just to get the box to remove. Please show a way to reduce that alert box size or move it to the right corner. Thank you!!

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.

Car pointer is in the other side of the screen
The problem is that when i use Waze on my car multimedia which is android, the pointer of the car is located on the right of the screen and on the left there is the search bar, I was trying to hide the search bar so the pointer is more in the center of the screen but could't find a solution. Its very inconvenient when you drive a left wheel drive vehicle and the pointer is on the passanger side. Hope you find a solution. I can share a picture if you need it, thanks!

Please can you make the Red circled speed limit the same size as the Current vehicles speed sign as the red circled one I find too small.

Don't move buttons and change icons in the same release
There have been far too many times that icons for reporting things have been changed AND the icon locations have been rearranged all in one release. This leaves me staring at the screen wondering where "report vehicle at the side of the road" has gone to - the pic isn't the same and the icon in that spot from yesterday is different.
Sure, we're not supposed to use it while driving, but hey, probably 90% of users are the only one in the car when making reports. Do NOT make it more difficult for us.

Allow users to disable the Roadshield.
Many users utilize Waze in split-screen mode with other apps, and the roadshield does not optimize with the size of the map. This means that at critical moments (upcoming turns, arriving at your destination, etc) the roadshield covers your map and vehicle, completely obscuring the information. The only option for this is to reduce Waze to 1/4th of the screen to move the roadshield to the left of the screen, which makes Waze virtually useless.
Please allow users to disable / modify the roadshield.

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…

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.1 vote -
“Hey Siri, stop navigation/ directions”
Right now, whilst in the middle of driving, once I know where I am, I no longer require directions. Currently there is no voice command for turning off directions whilst driving. I don’t like to keep my eyes off the road and hands off the vehicle but currently the only way to turn off the directions is pressing the bottom of the app and then press “stop”.
It makes sense that if there’s a “navigation on” option, there should also be a “navigation off” option too. Thanks for this consideration.1 vote -
Nicki Minaj voice on waze
Just as you have Jennifer Hudson voice you should have Nicki Minaj, Snoop Dogg, Billie Eilish, post malone, just a few I think that I wouldn't mind riding to and some diffrent vehicles also a minimized popup screen like Google would be great as well it's just a few things would make me totally leave Google plus a direction to where the arrived destination is it just leaves you in the middle of the street to look for which side the property is on.

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'.

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) PoliceIt 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!

sonido ante radares
I would like you to implement the following suggestion. I'm contacting you from Spain.
For those of us who have Android Auto in our cars, when we encounter a speed camera, Waze informs us via text on the vehicle's central display. If we're traveling at 80 km/h and have to look at the display for a second, the vehicle travels more than 20 meters. That distance is enough to cause an accident, which wouldn't happen if the warning were audible.
Do you think this is reason enough to incorporate it into the app? I think you should consider it…1 vote -
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,…
2 votesHey,
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!

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.

Issues with new update
There are a number of issues with the new Android Waze update. I think it is obvious that the developers use the app on a large screen. The speed limit and current speed are far too small to read while driving. The circle with the speed in it is about 1/2" in diameter on a 7" screen. The speed text and the speed limit are under 1/4" and are very hard to read.
Also, when in full screen display, if one provides a location to navigate to, Waze shows the command in the dialog box, but does nothing. If one…

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…

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