Mach E - battery percentage charge recommendation
I recently purchased a new Ford Mach-E. I’ma little disappointed in the Waze app vs Apple Maps. First let me say I HATE APPLE MAPS. They are not user friendly, doesnt report police, potholes, or anything useful. However with my Mach-E Apple Maps knows the battery percentage on my car and will automatically add a charging stop to my road trip if needed. If Waze does this I cannot figure it out. If Waze doesn’t could this be an update feature you look into!! EV cars are becoming more popular and I really want to use a map…

Invites the user to reports UR to correct the problem himself
When the editor reports an error on the map as UR , the system could send an e- mail indicating the WME and the forum so that it even correct the problem on the map. The idea is to get new editors.

Tracking stop signs and stop lights
In addition to "Difficult intersection" it would be very handy for two features:
1) Waze's map to record if there are stop signs (2, 4 way), and lights at an intersection. This would (hopefully) include separate turn signals; some intersections are VERY difficult to turn left at even with a light, for example.2) A setting for navigation (in the app) for "Avoid unguarded turns/intersections". This would then allow a driver to NOT have to turn left across 6 lanes of traffic, for example, as the app would know there was no light at that crossing (or even going directly…

Add voice message to Update Request to reduce time reporting map errors to car drivers.
Currently there is only text comment option which restricts the driver from adding details to the UR. Adding voice message could help to waze editor getting more specific information and minimize message asking additional information.
This functionality improve URs resolution statistics.

Ability to select different text scale.
The map screen seems designed for lower resolution phones. When used on Galaxy S4 the text is too small to read. Suggest adding a scale option.

Make text clearer
In android auto, smaller text on the map is barely readable due to it not having anti aliasing and the text isnt even aligned correctly, so every letter has a 1-2 pixel height difference, and the text is also jittery.
Please, fix this. In google maps, it renders really well even on lower resolution displays.2 votes -
Extra plaatsen toevoegen
Het zou handig zijn om extra plaatsen toe te voegen bij 'plan een rit' waarbij men met de volgorde kan schuiven.
(zoals in google maps)

fix route mapping
I know a shorter, straighter, less turnings route to get to a specific area, yet Waze is taking me through the longest way possible.

car icon at bottom of screen when north up map is selected no good.
For North up map preference, your car icon should be centered on the screen not at the bottom of the screen otherwise you cannot see your path when you are heading south as it quickly runs off the bottom of the screen

english language map in Israel
Dear all,
I'm desperate for an English language map settings. Really essential to have it! I can't understand my location, place near me and choose reasonable route. Absolutely uncomfortable((
Hope you can fix it very soon!4 votes -
Add option to “Play voice over Bluetooth” instead of only having option to “Play as Bluetooth phone call” (HSP and A2DP options)
Play voice prompts directly using Bluetooth (HSP) rather than using Play as Bluetooth phone call (A2DP) which partially cuts the start of each prompt and shows your mobile number as calling on the screen every time there is a prompt. So annoying! Google maps have this feature now in settings.

Waze does not connect with the Cellular LINE Interphone intercom
Waze does not connect with the Cellular LINE Interphone intercom. When I need GPS to use Google maps it connects normally, although I prefer Waze.

Waze in Android auto new version not showng full screen
Hello
I use waze a lot with android auto.
In the latest Android auto they add new feature with two widget below the waze navigation window. It is impossible to remove it with waze. On the other hand with google maps it works ok and when you duble press the google maps logo it remove the widgets. It will be nice if you update waze for android auto. Thanks1 vote -
Upgrade
You need to follow Google's maps lead and upgrade waze so it can calculate the distance between two points from a location to a destination and you need to do it yesterday. I can't believe nobody there has thought of this. You are lagging waze. Get with the competition.

Find my home in Northern California correctly. I just installed your app because I travel allot. Much to my surprise, your app cannot find
My idea is for more accurate maps in Northern California. I would need to wander through the woods to get to my starting point per your map. And I live within city limits!

When reinstalling Waze on a new device or reset device, the installation will be corrupted if the app was on the SD card
If you've had Waze on an SD card and you restore or get a new phone and restore settings, the new installation will be on the internal storage but the settings will point to the SD card.
This means that your profile icon, maps, and voices will all be broken.
To fix, you can go into application settings and move Waze to SD storage. It would be nice if you didn't have to do this.

Make Map Chats readable on Android Auto and CarPlay
Map Chats often contain useful information on lane closures or other hazards, but while their icons show up on the car's nav screen when using CarPlay or Android Auto, they can't be tapped on or read.
It is far more hazardous for me to unplug my phone, open the Waze app, and read the Map Chat than it would be to simply glance at my dash nav and tap the chat - you could even have the phone's TTS read it out while displaying it, then give the option to give it a thumbs-up.
