Improve the Android Automotive version.
I would like the Waze version for Android Automotive to be as good as the mobile version, in addition to adding some options that are necessary while driving.
1-In the Android Automotive version, the radar alerts do not emit any sound, making it completely useless, as you won't be looking at the screen continuously while driving.
Moreover, the other alerts only emit a notification sound, and when it sounds, you have to look at the screen to know what danger is approaching, diverting your attention from the road.
All alerts should be like in the mobile version, with a voice…

The first issue you raised was resolved a few months ago; however, if you are still experiencing any difficulties, please feel free to contact Waze support here for further assistance. As for your suggestion to make all options available in the mobile version without needing the phone, we truly appreciate it and have shared it with the team for consideration.

Get a list of directions for a given route.
Sometimes it's hard to evaluate a route choice from the descriptions. It would be great if a route could be listed in text (one line per step) so that the route options could be evaluated more easily.

Carpool around my schedule
You are onto something pairing people heading in the same direction. HOWEVER, please find a way to have me input my work schedule so you know when I'm heading to and from the city. You offer me passengers at 7AM when I'm working at 2PM for example. Remember me when this is implemented and you make a fortune! Thanks, Adam Rose

Add ability to route via a gas station
Of all the POIs out there, gas stations are the most important. Waze should be able to incorporate a gas station stop into its directions. It should also be possible for users to report the location of gas stations from the app.

Motorcycle intercom
While using Waze on my motorcycle I can't hear the prompts on my intercom for directions while talking to my pillion passenger via the intercom . As to what I've searched online there's a setting to make Wazes sound act like a phone call using a play sound via setting but on android I can't find it . But that's the only way I'd be able to hear the direction prompts as it would interrupt my intercom an give me audio directions

Share my ride
Sharing my ride with other waze members for example start a group "westchester to east side manhattan " once they join they get a warning befor you are leaving or can see on smartphone where to wait for the ride
The rout will have few stops and each rider will contribute to gas cost through waze leaving a service fee with waze
This is a nice way to share and save energy1 vote -
Waze directions are given too late
I have recently moved to Melbourne Australia. Every road, every intersection, every turn is new to me. I've been an avid Waze user for many years, but I cannot use it anymore. Every directional instruction is 1-3 seconds too late. I have never encountered this problem, because I only used the alert voice setting since I knew my daily drive and area very well.
A few examples:
1) When approaching an intersection while in the middle of a 5 lane road, the direction to turn right is only given once the lane turn-offs begin.
2) When in a residential…1 voteThanks for reaching out.

Alert police on both sides of the road
Currently, waze only provides an alert when approaching police on the same side of the road. In Australia, police will check vehicle speed in both directions. Waze should have the option to provide alerts when approaching police on the opposite side of the road.

Allow the users to select the navigation way of look
The way the app displays the navigation route is not particularly convenient for me, especially in the part where there is the direction arrowes, which on wide roads shows all the lanes on the monitor which could be cofusing for some people , if the users will have the option to choose which way of the navigation way of look suits them (as you can select the voice in the app), they will make less directional mistakes.

waze "loses server" departing for destination, drops route, still has destination, no way to get back to route, forgets the route
waze "loses server" departing for destination, drops route, still has destination, no way to get back to route, forgets the route. The destination soccer ball is still there, but no way to get it to restore the route. Start over. :(

Add option to search parking around the destination
Add option to search parking around the destination: when starting the navigation we will be asked if we want to go to the adresse or to the nearest available parking. Thanks!

Optimiee Waze in landscape
Optimize Waze in landscape on mobile (long side horizontal) (samsung s22 has a small screen)
When navigating: The black bar that indicates the direction indication is very large, so that the map is already partly lost and shifts all the way to the right
Now it might be an idea to keep the map in the middle and let the indication below happen just above the arrival time and the remaining km's
Or make the black bar transparent but this tells me less.

Resize directions box while connected to Android Auto
After recent updates, the box displaying directions covers half the screen when connected to Android Auto. Please shrink the box, allow users to move it or resize it. It makes it difficult to see where you are going on the map sometimes.
2 votesGreat news! The feature of reducing the size of upcoming turn/direction/navigation box in Android Auto is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

Fix Assistant Integration
Hey, does your programming dept. have school credentials from ECPI instead of MIT? What's the hold up with fixing the location handshake between Waze and Google Assistant? You DO realize that OS 13 is being released by the end of the year. Let me guess, you're hoping that will fix the problem so your incompetence will fade into history! I've been back and forth with CS for MONTHS and have not heard a peep about this problem!

Edit suggested address
Please, please PLEASE make it possible to select a suggested street and THEN edit the selection. If I type "k" and Waze immediately suggests the right street I am - of course - happy and I click the suggestion.
I am NOT happy to have to back out of it and type the full "Karl-Henrik von Gröthufvuds väg 1034 A" from start to finish, without a single misspelling or missed dash...
Please? 🙂

‘Go Later’ function
‘Go Later’ should always be an option to choose from. Currently, after some tinkering with the app, if you click on addresses you’ve been to previously it only allows you to start drive— not go later. In order to get the Go Later option to appear, you have to type the address into the search bar in and choose it from the list that populates, as if you’ve never gone there before.

Add compass rose and time to turn features from Garmin to Android Auto/Carplay
Right now you can't see the compass rose which I use all the time on my Garmin to know which direction I am headed. It works on the phone app but not Android Auto.
Garmin also has a really nice time to turn feature that gives you an approximate time to your next turn. I find myself missing exits with waze as its easier to think in seconds than "1000 feet"

More options for changing distance units
Having the map directions/ETA distance units option as well as the speed limit option. For example, the map directions/ETA in kms and then showing the speed limit in miles.
This would be useful for someone driving out of country to be aware of the speed limit while maintaining their preferred units for the directions.
I am a Canadian living in the US therefore am driving in miles/speed limit is in miles but I have a better sense of distance in kms.7 votes
