Improvement recommendations for Android Auto
- Bring back the voice search button (icon) to the screen even in AA also in local language (e.g. Hungarian)
- Tank station (and other POI) search along the calculated route with the calculated detour time in result list
- split screen support for the new AA (like in Google Maps)
- Automatic switch to bird view (route plan overview) if the distance between two navigation legs is over a given distance (e.g 5 km) and switch back to normal view at the next leg. It would be nice for follow up the current status of the vehicle on a longer route.

Option to Increase Map Symbol Size in Waze for CarPlay
The map symbols in Waze on CarPlay are currently too small, especially when the map is zoomed out. Important icons such as mobile speed cameras are barely visible while driving.
We kindly request a feature that allows users to adjust the size of map symbols manually, either via settings or dynamic scaling. Ideally, symbols should be allowed to scale up to the size of the current vehicle position icon (navigation arrow) for better visibility.
This feature would greatly improve safety and usability, as many essential warnings are currently too easy to miss.
Thank you for considering this improvement.

A second nickname for use while driving dangerous mountain passes.
All WAZE apps would have an optional second nickname that is the same for all WAZE users. (ex. "SafetyTrakr") When selected this nickname would be visible to local incident response agencies so they could track your path as you travel through dangerous areas such as mountain paths during severe weather. If your icon stops or disappears, that would be cause for concern by the emergency response agency. For those with privacy concerns, it could be turned on only if you get stranded in one of these monitored areas. Your icon would then show up as being a stopped vehicle.

Support for health conditions color ribbons as moods and national day of* icons
Cancer, Gastroparesis, Type One Diabetes...etc all have ribbons, Wazers would like to support their causes by selecting a color ribbon as their vehicle mood And be able to select other moods icons in support of their favorite national holiday that Waze suggests when opening the app for the first time on the day of the holiday. See available holidays at nationaltoday.com for examples of fun national day of celebrations. Ex: Would have been fun to see all Wazers moods on map, looking like their favorite kind or color of donut on national donut day for instance.

Faster warnings emergency vehicles
Alerting emergency services faster. Here in the Netherlands, this is done by Haas Alert. There's a 15-second delay between the notification and the next one. With other apps, it's every second.Then you can much better estimate where the ambulance or other emergency service is. Currently, it's too late in most cases. It could be faster, though, because other apps are much faster.

Urgent Proposal: Integrate E-Bike and Scooter Riders into the Waze Map for Driver and Rider Safety
The Immediate Safety Need
I am urgently requesting that you integrate electric bicycle and scooter riders into the Waze traffic map. I believe the primary need is not just navigation for the riders themselves, but to increase the visibility of these vehicles in the eyes of the car drivers who use the application.
I see that Light Electric Vehicles (LEVs) – e-scooters and e-bikes – have become an integral part of urban and intercity traffic. They travel on the edge of roads, in bus lanes, and on bike paths close to driving lanes, and they pose a significant…1 vote -
Consider special accounts that could report roadside issues from desktop/elsewhere
Two aspects to this idea.
First there are people who work for organizations which may have data they wish to report about a roadside hazard who aren't in their vehicles or with the hazard. After a vetting process, their accounts could be given the ability to report issues via desktop app in real time. This could be city workers, police dispatchers, emergency roadside/towing dispatchers. They could report accidents, people in ditches etc.
Secondarily to that, emergency roadside and police are now often working with haas and safety cloud so incidents do get automatically reported when an emergency vehicle is…

Besides Toll route and No toll route there should be a third option: No Toll (except Bridge tolls) route
Besides Toll route and No toll route there should be a third option: No Toll (except Bridge tolls) route
There should be an option to apply the above choice across the whole route to the destination or state by state or highway by highway.
For hazards and police, the “Still there” and “ Not there” choice is available only for a short period of time. It’s only after passing the location that one knows whether it is still there or not.
Generally graphics are poor: the icons for road hazard, police, construction are not intuitive. The graphics of car icons…3 votes -

Traffic volume (number of vehicles) per road segment per 5-min interval
It would be great to have a real time information about the number of vehicles that pass through a given location (sensor measuring this info) or through a road segment in five-minute time intervals. Such sampling will give an excellent snapshot of the current status, which is valued by anyone on the road. Especially relevant for city centres but also major highways/freeways.

Add shuffle playlist option to Spotify integration
While the Spotify integration is a neat idea I would like it to have the ability to shuffle play a playlist. I have one large playlist of multiple genres that I basically use as a radio station. However, I don't want to play straight through it. I want it to shuffle so I hear different genres and artists. Currently that isn't possible.

Lane Assignments / Off-ramp Turns
I love Waze…. Hands-down, best traffic app there is! But I also absolutely HATE the app at times, especially when I miss my turn. The interface at interstate intersections, on and off ramps, is subpar to say the least. This is where Waze fails miserably. Every other app there is, or pre installed vehicle navigation systems, do such a better job at breaking down lane assignments or alerting to difficult or congested intersections. Waze needs to do better! I cannot miss anymore turns at off-ramps … I will pull the rest of my hair out!

Open Top Option
I dive a convertible and can't hear the voice with the top down. The text at the top of the map is too small to read with a quick glance. Please add an open top option to split the screen and provide a large text area to show the next navigation step and count down the distance to it.

keep the road ahead clear
the driver is now an arrow in the middle of the map screen when navigating/driving- keep the driver at the bottom of the screen so the more of the path ahead is visible. (not interested where the driver has been rather where he/she is going) Also, the banners of alerts hide a large section of the map screen.

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??

WesZ
Hello. As I travel around the USA on the interstate highway system , there are “Rest Areas” that can be exited to. Many a time, usually because of large trucks & traffic, I do not see the “Rest Area Ahead” signs and consequentially miss the “Rest Area” exit. It would be a nice convenience if WAZE could announce “Rest Area 2 Miles Ahead”. Thank You.

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…

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.

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.…

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…
