Please remove the daily limit on alerts.
Daily limit on map alerts for police and vehicles on shoulder is WAY too low. Please raise the limit. On a long trip of 600 miles i passed through major cities and the amount of alerts goes up of course. This limit should be related to the WAZE score for the user. The higher the points, the more alerts per day you can send.

Check Waze on our work or home Mac computer
My wife and I always need check Waze before our long commutes to and from work. It would be very helpful to be able to check the maps on our home/work Mac computers (large screen easier to view maps) rather than having to go and get our iPads or iPhones. Any chance of this happening in the near future??
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.

Predictive Coasting Speed Alert / Vorausschauende Roll-Geschwindigkeitswarnung
I suggest adding a predictive driving option to Waze that helps drivers adjust their speed more smoothly before reaching reduced speed zones.
Currently, Waze shows the reduced speed limit exactly when you reach the zone, which often forces drivers to brake actively. My proposal is that Waze should calculate the optimal point at which I should release the accelerator, allowing the car to coast into the reduced speed limit without using the brakes.
The system should display an alert such as “Reduce speed to 50 km/h in 300 m” at the right moment for coasting.Additionally, the app could optionally collect…1 vote -
Routing
Hello.
In the routing section, it's best to have an option assigned to routing based on two simultaneous factors, distance and time.

Fix your commercial, sense of credibility
Your commercial is a view as to how you perceive accuracy and credibility. First, the little boy got out of the car into the road. Second, the phone on the front glass, major distraction when an alert goes off, even though you have her looking pulled over. Third, the lady returning to her vehicle with a loaded bag, indicating she was in the store for a bit, only to get in her car that had the window down, and from what I could see, her phone on the holder. Maybe nits, but I judge these as to the completeness of…

Do not dim navigation on opening audio. Make track skip buttons bigger. Allow nav controls to be adjustable on nav Screen
Allow users to customise their nav screen so they can position and size the features they need.
Most importly, just because I want my audio player open with bigger track skip buttons and current track listing DO NOT DIM THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE MAP SCREEN! I’m still navigating, why make it dark and hard to see because I want to see what I’m listening to?!
your UI choices make impede some useful functionality. Let users choose what nav information they need, where on the screen it is and how large it is. Maybe I need a larger speedo and…

Safety
Using Waze I drove from Long Branch NJ to Merrick NY. I was directed from NJ Rt. 36 onto the express lanes of the Garden State Parkway north to exit at exit 125. The express lanes end 1/4 mile from exit 125 on the right, requiring that I cut across 3 lanes of moving traffic at a high speed in a very short distance in order to get to the exit. The directions should be changed to instruct the driver to use the local lanes of the Garden State Parkway northbound so that the vehicle is in a much safer…

Keep present location on map screen at all times
When I supposedly arrive at my destination the Waze app and map "resets" to an obscure location miles away. The map view must remain where you are so you can see the roads around you. I missed the entrance to my destination and my navigation shut off (as I had 'arrived') and reset to a place miles away. I then proceeded blindly to find my way back to my turn and got lost in the process. The map needs to show where your vehicle is at all times! It used to be that way and something changed, for the worse.…

North up changes desperately needed
I am trying to use Waze with the map displayed in the direction I’m actually going, North Up, Because with the map always moving what is actually North to just keep my direction always going towards the top of the screen one loses all perspective on where things are. When one would read a paper map one would always keep the map north up, that way you could always learn your relative position to other places. The problem comes in, when the map is set to north up the position is always in the dead middle of the screen rather…

Routes designated for horse lorries
It would be great if you had a designated section for routes for horse lorries or any lorries. The if this section is selected it navigates suitable routes/roads for these types of vehicles!

Safety kids
Hello,
I noticed that the app displays a helpful reminder during driving, such as “Don’t forget to turn on your headlights.”
I would like to suggest an additional safety feature that could save lives:
Please consider adding a reminder for drivers – if they have a baby or child in the car, not to forget to properly secure them, and at the end of the trip, after the system says “You have arrived,” to include a short message reminding the driver to check that no children are left in the vehicle.This is a simple message that could help…

Zoom Ability Moving with Speed and Limit ON
Using a Kenwood DNX997XR without the zoom control and no pinch zoom the map is unreadable. I need to turn off the speed and Speed limit to see it. Its there when stopped and gone when I move.
Why not MOVE the Speed signs and make them readable. Even better a small, mid and large text box speed sign. Let the user decide what they want on the map.
Waze is great I use it all the time and on a BIG Cadillac screen its fine I pinch zoom and can BARELY see the speed limit. But on a $1000…1 vote -
Ability to EXIT from Alert Pop Up
On the new display design, when an alert pops up on the left-hand side (i.e. disabled vehicle on shoulder), it often hides information in the top-left navigation box. The user can not hide that alert box without hitting (1) still there or (2) not there. Oftentimes, the issue is still some ways down the road and the driver has no idea which to press. BUT, the driver presses something -- anything -- to remove the alert because they need to see the navigation information. This probably leads to bad data being shared out. Give the driver the option to HIDE…

An enhancement to weather alerts.
Last week an extreme weather event was encountered and the vehicle was hydro planning due to torrential rainfall and right there and then Waze navigation alerted to "heavy rainfall"
This capability for driver alerts in real time is the real genius of Waze. I love it. Can I suggest a simple enhancement - when extreme rainfall alerts are posted for a particular location by other Waze users these alerts are given to traffic that is at least 50km away from reaching this area. If drivers are encouraged in this manner to stop or delay their journey due to extreme weather…

Opposite speed camera reporting and differentiate between front and rear facing speed cameras
Suggestion 1:
Sometimes, when driving, there is a police officer with a camera on the opposite side of the road. However, the app doesn’t have an option to report a “camera on the opposite side,” so we are forced to mark it as “police on the opposite side.” It would be helpful to have a specific option for reporting such cases.Suggestion 2:
Speed cameras generally fall into two categories: those that measure speed from the front of the vehicle and those that measure it from the rear. It would be great if Waze could distinguish between these two types…1 vote -
Hello Waze friends.
Hello Waze friends. My name is Oscar Martínez from Costa Rica, I am a waze user and I love it.
I want to share with you an idea, waze is very useful because it "knows" the best way to reach our destination. But sometimes the app gives us a map using a route unknown to us regardless of the type of vehicle we are using at the time.
One possibility for improvement may be to first ask ourselves what type of car we have and thus avoid difficult routes for our cars. For example, a very bumpy road with a…1 vote -
Toggle Map View to reduce info screens
I think it should be a toggle option to increase map view and reduce/minimize turn by turn directions and ETA info size. These two information displays take up a large portion of the viewable scree when full screen. The minimized/reduce view would be greatly reduced to a single line. A user could touch the single line and then the view go back to normal, if needed or desired.

Roundabout display 2d and zoom out
Waze is a great app, but it has a significant drawback — especially when driving in the UK.
The interface elements (such as the arrow and road layout) are too large, which makes it hard to read, particularly at roundabouts. What’s even more problematic is that the view remains in 3D and doesn’t switch to an overhead 2D perspective like Google Maps does, which would make navigating roundabouts much easier.
Additionally, when slowing down, Waze doesn’t seem to handle speed reduction well — the position appears to lag by a few seconds. As a result, it often looks like…
