reduce size of alert box and still their box after iOS 16 update cannot see directions on screen
Since the iOS 16 update, the alert box is so large on the left side that you can’t see your next turn or miles or anything until you click still there or not. I still need to be able to see directions with the alerts as it’s caused me to miss, turns quickly when it pops up or it makes me just click still there instead of actually waiting to see just to get the box to remove. Please show a way to reduce that alert box size or move it to the right corner. Thank you!!

Lettering and symbol size increase independent of background. Alpine GPS has larger overlay than pioneer han Pioneer
Map overlay,(place and street names, speed symbol) are large rand clearer on Alpine GPS than Pioneer. As this appears to have a separate function, an option control for size and darkness appreciated.
All map editing functions( contras, colour, temp) on current app will not alter this aspect. Zoom map size increases but text too small.1 vote -
Ability to Adjust navigation volume
Waze needs the ability to adjust navigation volume level when Waze isn't saying something. Google maps has this option in Android Auto if you go to settings and play test navigation audio. Then you can adjust the vehicle's navigation volume level.

Waze 3000
The Waze application requires immediate updates to resolve navigation and interface failures. The current design uses cartoonish language. This style reduces the professional utility of your tool. You must adopt a more mature visual language.
Voice search fails to provide effective results. This malfunction creates safety risks for drivers.
The map view locks during Android Auto use. You should allow users to move or adjust the map on the vehicle screen without touchscreen feature.
The interface largelly displays recent routes immediately. This clutter slows down the navigation process and hinders the user's privacy.
Preferred gas stations and fuel grades…

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.

Car pointer is in the other side of the screen
The problem is that when i use Waze on my car multimedia which is android, the pointer of the car is located on the right of the screen and on the left there is the search bar, I was trying to hide the search bar so the pointer is more in the center of the screen but could't find a solution. Its very inconvenient when you drive a left wheel drive vehicle and the pointer is on the passanger side. Hope you find a solution. I can share a picture if you need it, thanks!

Simple Voice Commands To Respond to Alerts or Hazards
Hi. Love Waze, but this idea is one of three that would take it from good to great for me...
Problem: It is a dangerous practice to interact with screens and mobile devices while driving a vehicle. In response to safety concerns, laws are increasingly being put in place prohibiting interacting with screens (touching devices) while driving. Some simple voice commands would enable meaningful interaction with Waze in this situation.
Possible Solutions:
1) Only while an alert is displayed, enable very simple voice commands to improve the quality of alert (hazard warnings), for example 'Still there' or 'Gone'.

Nicki Minaj voice on waze
Just as you have Jennifer Hudson voice you should have Nicki Minaj, Snoop Dogg, Billie Eilish, post malone, just a few I think that I wouldn't mind riding to and some diffrent vehicles also a minimized popup screen like Google would be great as well it's just a few things would make me totally leave Google plus a direction to where the arrived destination is it just leaves you in the middle of the street to look for which side the property is on.

Simplify how to report issues
Have you considered added a few quick report buttons to the map screen? have to click through multiple screen is a hazard not only to you, the driver but to everyone on the road around you. Having a quick click button right on the map for 3-5 of the most common reports ie: vehicle on the side of road, accident (you don't report whether it's a minor or major accident and to be honest, we don't care. We only car that there is an issue up ahead.) traffic (again, minor or major are of no concern), road works.
I forgot,…
2 votesHey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not planned, since we finalized our plans for 2024 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
We hope to include it in our plans for later down the line.
Thanks!

Create a waze GPS system apart from an app. Like Tom Tom and Garmin. Keep people off their phones.
Police, Swat, and ambulances use other devices apart from Waze because it is not on a phone and is installed in their vehicles. Allow the public to have a screen that is separate from the phone and it can benefit even the public safety protocols.

Issues with new update
There are a number of issues with the new Android Waze update. I think it is obvious that the developers use the app on a large screen. The speed limit and current speed are far too small to read while driving. The circle with the speed in it is about 1/2" in diameter on a 7" screen. The speed text and the speed limit are under 1/4" and are very hard to read.
Also, when in full screen display, if one provides a location to navigate to, Waze shows the command in the dialog box, but does nothing. If one…

One touch notices
I have been a loyal wazer for years and use the Apple CarPlay interface. These are my suggestions:
A) The main screen should have THREE one touch HOT BUTTONS:
1) Object on road
2) Vehicle on Shoulder
3) PoliceIt currently takes two or three clicks to achieve these 3 most common alerts. The change can use simple icons and safety would be greatly improved.
B) When Waze re-routes me, it needs to give more explanation. Examples:
1) “Re-routing due to accident mile marker 204”
2) “Re-routing due to traffic saving 10 minutes”
3) “Re-routing due to construction”Thanks!

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.

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.

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!

Use predictive modeling to better route traffic during a major traffic event
Western Washington state experienced a major traffic event when a train derailed and shut down Interstate 5 for the whole day. 60K vehicles use that stretch of I-5 every day. I used Waze to navigate home, but a 40 minute drive turned into 5.5 hours because of the accident and using side roads.
Waze tried its best to find the best route, but the predicted two-hour drive kept getting worse and worse. Of course, there's not much historic information to know how to the side and back roads would reach to that much traffic flooding onto them, but Waze…

New idea to add to Waze alerts from Green Bay, Wisconsin. BROWN COUNTY, Wis. (WBAY) — Drivers using some of the major interstates and highwa
BROWN COUNTY, Wis. (WBAY) — Drivers using some of the major interstates and highways in Northeast Wisconsin will now notice a new alert on message boards warning them when there’s a wrong-way driver.
It is one of the scariest moments drivers could face — heading down the highway or interstate at 70 miles an hour and headlights come straight at you.
Brown County Sheriff’s Patrol Captain Dan Sandberg says it’s all too common and often ends with someone injured or killed, as happened on I-41 in southern Brown County in August.
“It’s almost a weekly occurrence that we have somebody…

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.
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.
