For the computer website, add the option of including the day of trip and time to arrive (Not the time to leave) just like the phone app.
For the computer website, add the option of including the day of trip and time to arrive (Not the time to leave) just like the phone app. It's surprising you didn't build this in originally.

Move Icon
A way to move the icon that you just reported. When I am a passenger, I don't normally open Waze. So when I see something to report, I am usually late reporting it due to loading on my phone or just finding my phone. Would be nice to be able to move the icon to where the alert should be.

Use smart-band's vibrator to notify a danger zone
Because I'm a motorcycle pilot, I need to be more focus on the road than any other vehicules.
I just got a Xiaomi Mi Band which is a BLE health tracker.
This BLE smart-band contains a vibrator and has libraries available for iOS and Android to communicate with (eg. vibration control).It would be just AWESOME if my smart-band could vibrate when I enter a danger zone. Like that I would not have to always take a risk by looking down on my phone while driving.
A pattern could be defined for the vibrations. Like 3 vibrations = entering a…

Burn in Screen
I am using Waze everyday in my car however; recently I have noted that the waze interface is causing my AMOLED screen to show a shadow screen of waze even while I am in other apps. I was wondering if the waze display screen items location can be changed randomly on an occasional basis to avoid such issues on the phone screens. I informed some of my friends and they found same issue on their phone so we are forced to reduce usage of this app as much as possible to avoid severe damages to our displays. Thanks for your…
3 votesThank you for your suggestion!
The Report button was designed to be noticed while blending in and it’s important to keep it as is.
However, we will revisit this idea when working on Dark mode, in the future. Furthermore, since this is a physical issue that OLED phones suffer from in different apps, we recommend to use Battery Saver mode to allow your display some rest from bright colors that might lead to this dysfunction.
Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram. -
Speed Limit in Dubai
Basically in Dubai there is a +20km speed limit. In waze it shows that I’m going too fast. Speed camera light is distracting

Disable Speed Limit Warning Beep
THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY !!
I almost deleted Waze from my iPhone - instead just disable bluetooth on my phone - which kills hands-free phone which is NOT ACCEPTABLE either
You simply MUST MUST MUST make it possible for the user to DISABLE the DAMM SPEED LIMIT CHIRP
This thing goes off 10 times in a 5-mile local stretch of road, interrupting radio and other media playing on the audio system.
My Escort 360 keeps me well appraised of the limits, as does Waze with the red speed limit circle. Wazers deserve the option to NOT BE OVERLOADED…3 votes -
Oled mode
Make a interface theam that is all black screen but with roads in road colours on compleatly black backgrond and text in normal colours eg white green blue ect with speedo as standard so as little of the screen is lit up as possible as i find my phone get very hot when running with display on and eats battory i have switch to night mode and found an improvement but i think with a true minimalistic oled mode devices will run much cooler and battory lasts longer but will only help oled devices 👌

SPLIT: You need to be able to report permanent cameras and police etc via voice
You need to be able to report permanent cameras and police etc via voice which may be possible on a google friendly phone, I’m not sure because I will get fined for touching my phone to report things...
1 voteGreat news! The option to report police using Google Assistant s now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out. You may also refer to this link to learn more about on how to use Google Assistant with Waze.

Double Screen mode
Waze does not allow double screen mode. It would be very simple and usefull !
Phone screens are getting bigger and you can even have a tablet in your car now. Double screen mode would allow users to use waze while having an eye on another app such as music, car parameters (dashcommand for example) or whatever they want !5 votes -
Finger hold for icon placement
When placing a hazard or police location on the map, currently you have to tap on the screen to bring up the choices, tap for police, tap again for their location and then tap again to place it on the map. Why not after the first tap, if you keep your finger on the screen, automatically show the options, slide your finger to the one you want, and then once your finger is released, the icon drops straight into the map.
Simple and less steps to get the right icon on the map and also lessens the time concentrating on…17 votes -
Stop sending survey requests via the App.
When driving 90 miles an hour is not the good moment to fill out a survey on your phone.. is it?!

Use car GPS aerial
In some cars the glass treatment screens radio signals making a GPS lock using the phone aerials difficult.
When using Android Auto using the car's GPS aerial rather than the phone would give a better result.
Google Maps seems to do this at the moment.

Option to TURN OFF Photos
Privacy and Security Risk! Accidentally touched screen at destination and it suddenly took a picture with flash and message it would send to Waze users. My camera was not set to allow Waze app access. We have to have options to (1) Turn Off Camera to Waze (2) confirm and approve upload or distribution of a photo taken -- no confirmation then it should automatically dump the data. Basic Privacy, Google.

Indicate the speed limit on each portion in addition to the speedometer. Indicate the time or the last wazer to borrow the same road.
Save favorite places on the internet account, it avoids recreating when changing phone.
4 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already displays a speedometer, including both your driving speed and the speed limit for the road you’re currently on.

Movable speedometer
Hold your finger on the speed gauge to move the speed gauge to a suitable location on your screen.
This would be very useful especially on a tablet or phones with big screens.387 votesHey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not right now, 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!

System constantly reroutes then the server times out & deletes exsiting route
When I set a route the system constantly reroutes almost every quarter to half a mile. At least 50% if not greater I will then get a message that the server timed out. This wouldn't be so bad except that when this happens it deletes the route I'm trying to follow until it tries again and usually then the server returns a route. This makes Waze virtually unusable. Please make it that once Waze has a route that it continues displaying and following that route until it gets new information from the user or server for a new route. Even…

Streamlined Spotify Integration
I love the new Spotify integration, so thanks greatly for that.
As much as I love it, it can get in the way a bit as having it open all the time consumes half the screen. (although it closes after notifications which is annoying)I'm sure I'm not the only one who has their phone linked to the car stereo via bluetooth. In this case I can change tracks via the stereo and therefore negates the need for the Waze music controls.
It would be amazing if in the Waze Spotify settings there was a streamlined option that simply allows…

Motorcycle and rally communities
For people to use Waze for navigation for groups (either leading and or distributing to a group) it would be great IF a person could go to Google Maps, make a route, then send it to Waze for navigation.
I plan group motorcycle rides on Google Maps, but then there is no way for me to get that electronically over to GPS (I use my Android phone (waze) for navigation).
I wind up still printing the Google Maps and putting them in my Tank back to follow.. Seems so 2005,,,8 votes
