Electrical Map in Puerto Rico will attract millions users

Alerts now Overlap Turn-by-Turn
The on-screen messaging has become very large in the new Android Auto UI - Turn-by-Turn is big, buttons across the top overlay the map...
When an alert comes on the screen now, it is also quite large but the problem is that it's positioned over some turn-by-turn info that you may really need at that moment in time.
Can you reposition the alert or make it smaller, or give us an option to use Medium font for the UI instead of jumbo? I get that it's easier to glance at when driving, but we need to see the really important…1 vote -

Waze should have Patch Notes for every update. Let Users know what has changed with each new version (dropped support, improved support etc)
Patch Notes, like those implemented in every online game in the past two decades, would drastically reduce User issue-reporting (with the app) due to misunderstanding of which Waze features are supported, which are not, which features have lost support and where etc.
Just every time the User updates the app, upon next sign-in, just flash a dialogue box with the latest patch notes (perhaps a link).
As an aside: the Help Center could be more clear and specific about how certain features (e.g., speed camera alerts) work. The exact parameters for getting audible speed camera alerts are not…

Potholes are problems on the roads. But long stretches of pothole-ridden sections are also an issue.
Potholes are problems on the roads. But there is something even more annoying, which is larger sections of the road that are completely holed or damaged. The suggestion is to create a new type of alert that is more lasting. Something saying "Damaged section ahead." Perhaps many countries do not suffer from this, but here in Brazil, whether in small towns or capitals, this is extremely common.

Toll amount display should adjust as you go along trip. Just like distance and time.
I live in an area of Florida (US) that has toll roads everywhere, It would be nice if as you pass a toll, the toll amount displayed would adjust to what amount remains as opposed to the unchanged toll total for the trip. Just like Time and mileage adjust so you know whats left. It is much more informative to know how much you have left to help decide if getting off a toll road makes sense or not.

If going from/to work/home on preferred route, set audio to "alerts only".
We all go from work/home several times a week, usually by a preferred route, unless there's some traffic jam. I would like that the default audio setting is "alerts only" if I'm driving the route I know REALLY well. If it's rerouting me from my preferred route due to some event, then use whatever method is set for the client.

Option to Disable Specific Alerts, Including Speed Bump Notifications
I would like to request an option in Waze to allow users to disable specific types of notifications, such as speed bump alerts. While these notifications can be useful, they can become overwhelming in areas with numerous speed bumps. Having the ability to customize which alerts are enabled would greatly improve the driving experience and reduce distraction.

Introduce a new routing option for CO2 reduction
Provide a new navigation option that reduces the CO2 emissions in a typical combustion engine vehicle. Possibly balancing speed vs. distance this can be optimized.
Imagine the impact on the environment if millions of vehicles used this navigation option!2 votes -
Average speed zone label covers up the speed limit
When you enter an average speed zone, the green bar on the left appears. Also a label appears at the bottom showing what distance the zone covers. Annoyingly this label covers up the current speed limit badge, so you can't see what the limit is until the label disappears or moves up far enough.

"Favorite" Hazard Button on Main Screen
ADD single-push hazard button on main screen that activates "Vehicle Stopped on Shoulder Ahead," which has to be the NO. 1 hazard all drivers face and encounter.
Pressing 5 buttons to alert others of a "Vehicle Stopped on Shoulder Ahead" is a hazard itself. Now, we click the "Alert" button, then we click the "Hazard" button, then we click the "Shoulder" button, then we click the "Vehicle Stopped" button, then we click the "Send" button.
On my bi-weekly 3-hour trips, I go through that routine 20 times per trip. Clicking 5 buttons for ANYTHING discourages people from using…

Subject: Feature Request: Personal Average Speed Display with Voice Alert
Hi Waze team,
I hope you're doing well. I'd love to suggest a feature that I've found useful in other navigation systems like TomTom AmiGo. It calculates the driver's personal average speed when passing through average speed camera zones. This speed is displayed on-screen and also read out aloud upon exit, ensuring drivers stay aware without having to constantly check their screens.
Adding this to Waze would be a fantastic way to enhance driver awareness and road safety. I hope you'll consider incorporating this functionality into your app.
Thanks for…

I would like an "Avoid Left Turns" in addition to "Avoid Difficult Intersection" (in the US) along with additional time and distance.
I try to avoid them, anyway. But I am not aware of them on unfamiliar routes. I would like to see estimated differences in time and distance.to determine if the routes is worthwhile. I've wanted this feature for years and wondered why it is not already a feature..Not only can left turns be a hassle, but they are also inherently more dangerous..

A more differentiated reporting
Using Waze is a great thing. However, sometimes you would like to alert fellow Wazers but you can't find the right report.
Thus, we would need i.e. an automatic differentiation of alert types depending if your are driving through the city or on a highway. Should be easily doable due to GPS information. Furthermore, a wider differentiation is especially true b/c some of the reports just don't fit to the situation.
