Only report and show hazards / etc on your side of the road
When viewing the map or receiving alerts, add an option to only report items on the side of the road you are driving and/or you are routed on. As a "reverse commuter" I constantly see hazards on my route but they are usually on the other side. It makes viewing the map for issues very difficult, almost unusable.

Routing overview
I would like a routing overview option to easily access when driving for two reason:
1: For longer routes to see were I am in the country.
2: For shorter routes to have an overview of the traffic situations.This option could be a button directly on the map, maybe as an option to turn on/off from Settings or as an option in the pop up window where the mute, stop navigation, navigation list and recalculate route are.
49 votesPossibilities:
- check next turns list by clicking on the directions panel on the top, select ‘next turns’ tab
- check reports on the route by clicking on the directions panel on the top, select ‘reports ahead’ tab
- check map view of your route by clicking on ETA bar at the bottom, select ‘Routes’ and then ‘map view’ -

Can Waze be kept on as a floating screen while running other apps?
Every time I open another app Waze just runs in the background. It would be much easier if You could keep the minimized floating screen up so you don’t have to tap that tiny blue button up in the corner, and so you can do other stuff while using the app. This is a feature on Google Maps.3 votes -

Make current speed, speed limits and warnings the largest images on the CarPlay phone companion screen
Rather than next turns or route events shown on your phone screen when the maps are pushed to a CarPlay screen, can we have a large view of current speed, speed limits and upcoming road warnings instead (or as a third view option)?

This app would be better if simultaneously synced data across my account on all my devices. To elaborate if I input an address on device 1, it should also come up in the history on device 2m see Google maps for reference

Avoid Specific Countries When Routing
Hello Google Maps/Apple Maps/Waze Team,
I would like to propose a very important routing feature that is currently missing from all major navigation apps:
📌 Feature: Avoid Specific Countries When Routing
Users should be able to select one or more countries they do NOT want to enter during navigation.
Similar to “Avoid highways” or “Avoid tolls,” but for entire countries.Why this feature matters:
In many regions (especially the Balkans, Eastern Europe, Middle East, etc.), some users are not allowed to enter certain countries due to political restrictions, documentation issues, or border regulations.
Currently:

Car play app
Dear Waze, it would be nice that you guys could come up with a way that the "Waze App" would have accessibility to be on Car Play so much helpful for drivers that have "Car Play" in there cars because it makes it a lot easier to be able to see the maps due to that we have a screen it better instead of using the phone screen. If you do come up with the app to be compatible with Car Play that would change the whole entire game for your app I mean it's already and amazing app but…

Incident/slowdown on map view when selecting route
About a year ago, when using the map view to select a route on the Android app, you were able to see traffic slowdowns. This was super helpful when trying to decide which route to use. Currently, when you view the list, it shows traffic speeds by color and incidents/hazards/police, but there is no way to know exactly where the accident or slowdown is located. If you look at the map view, the proposed route is all one color, and doesn't show slowdowns or incidents.
It would be great to at least see the orange, yellow, and red colors for…

Homeless
Some homeless agencies ask for homeless sightings so they can check on their well fare.
Request is to add a Homeless Button, so users can report sightings, and ability for an organization to filter map and monitor for 'homeless'.

Improve navigation in tunnels
When a route that includes motorway tunnels is started in Waze, it includes sections in motorway tunnels accurately. Once in the tunnel it recalculates and guides you as if you are travelling above ground. Google Maps continues to show the route through the tunnel with an indication that the position of the vehicle is an estimate only. The Google Maps method should be applied to Waze.

use waze with Pioneer avh2330nex. I can get Waze notifications when my iphone music is on BUT no visuals (maps) on Pioneer radio screen
Waze. Please update your software so that I can display the Waze on the screen while streaming music. If I display Waze on the stereo screen I cannot stream music at the same time. I can however stream music and get vocal Waze notifications that interrupts the music playing. Better than nothing.
Waze, please improve your app to allow displaying Waze on the screen and play music at the same time. I know Waze knows how.
Pioneer avh2330nex and iphone 6s.
Thank you!1 voteThank you for your suggestion! As you may already know, Waze is now integrated with several audio apps including Spotify, Deezer, TuneIn, iHeart Radio, Pandora and more. Just go to Settings > Audio Player and pick your favorite app.

Apple CarPlay Update needed
I love that we finally have Apply CarPlay integration! The update does need some additional work in my opinion. The roads/street names/ icons all appear blurry on the CarPlay display. All of the notifications that pop up are clear/crisp. It just looks like the map isn't fully loaded and isnt giving a clear picture like the map on the phone does. Also - the icon (arrow or car) is massive compared to the rest of the map. It doesnt get smaller/bigger when zooming in or out. I think the icon should change size based on the size of the map…

Mach E - battery percentage charge recommendation
I recently purchased a new Ford Mach-E. I’ma little disappointed in the Waze app vs Apple Maps. First let me say I HATE APPLE MAPS. They are not user friendly, doesnt report police, potholes, or anything useful. However with my Mach-E Apple Maps knows the battery percentage on my car and will automatically add a charging stop to my road trip if needed. If Waze does this I cannot figure it out. If Waze doesn’t could this be an update feature you look into!! EV cars are becoming more popular and I really want to use a map…

I want to give waze the routes I want to use for my commute by drawing them on a map & have it show me those route not the ones it selects?
I want to give waze the routes I want to use for my commute by drawing them on a map & have it show me those route not the ones it selects? Either draw it not the route map or enter a list of routes under my commute routes. Learning does not seem to be accurate or quick. I have done my route for 14 years I know the options it would be easy to draw a main route and set option segments. This would make the tool much more appealing quickly and more useful with less interaction while driving.…

why is there no ambulance car option? and option to show hospitals on map? I am an EMT who uses Waze at work all the time!
Add ambulance icon to car options, and an option to show hospitals, maybe even the closest ER facility to current location! I use Waze all the time at work as an EMT, and while the first suggestion would just be a treat for those, like me, in the EMS field, the second option would have the ability to assuage new EMTs fears of not knowing the closest hospital facility (we cover ALL of Colorado, though mainly Denver metro area, but still a huge area to learn when you're new).

Guide me to my parked car
Dropping a parked car dot is great, but it's not always intuitive which way I need to walk to find my car after a long day. Waze could use my device's compass and gps location to literally point me back to my car, or any other point on the map. This is not a "walking" mode of navigation, but rather a way to view the bearing to a particular point. One way to accomplish this is to simply provide an option to set map rotation to follow the compass rather than north-up or heading-up. Heading-up only helps find my car…

Map edit request box
M4 motorway in Sydney Australia is now a toll road (starting from 15 Aug). as a level 1 i cant edit, i looked around the forums but i couldn't find any place to put it up so experienced users can fix this. maybe there could be a map fix reporting so that novice users can access easily (map issue report thing in app doesn't have much options)
As M4 is very a busy road it changed the traffic conditions drastically from the first day of toll, i hope someone can fix this right away. There is the detailed info and…
