Motorcycle intercom
While using Waze on my motorcycle I can't hear the prompts on my intercom for directions while talking to my pillion passenger via the intercom . As to what I've searched online there's a setting to make Wazes sound act like a phone call using a play sound via setting but on android I can't find it . But that's the only way I'd be able to hear the direction prompts as it would interrupt my intercom an give me audio directions

Alert police on both sides of the road
Currently, waze only provides an alert when approaching police on the same side of the road. In Australia, police will check vehicle speed in both directions. Waze should have the option to provide alerts when approaching police on the opposite side of the road.

Allow users to choose to display routes on their Phone instead forcing on the Android Auto
Allow users to choose whether to use their phone as Waze for routes or Android Auto as the main display, instead of forcing it to display on Android Auto. Some people want to stream music using Android Auto and use their phones to see directions, as it doesn't distract them from the road. Some head units in cars are positioned lower from the direction of the road and are more of a hassle to look at while driving.

Optimiee Waze in landscape
Optimize Waze in landscape on mobile (long side horizontal) (samsung s22 has a small screen)
When navigating: The black bar that indicates the direction indication is very large, so that the map is already partly lost and shifts all the way to the right
Now it might be an idea to keep the map in the middle and let the indication below happen just above the arrival time and the remaining km's
Or make the black bar transparent but this tells me less.

Share my ride
Sharing my ride with other waze members for example start a group "westchester to east side manhattan " once they join they get a warning befor you are leaving or can see on smartphone where to wait for the ride
The rout will have few stops and each rider will contribute to gas cost through waze leaving a service fee with waze
This is a nice way to share and save energy1 vote -
Directions announced earlier.
Please have directions announced earlier. By the time it says, "Exit right," I would've missed my exit.

Resize directions box while connected to Android Auto
After recent updates, the box displaying directions covers half the screen when connected to Android Auto. Please shrink the box, allow users to move it or resize it. It makes it difficult to see where you are going on the map sometimes.
2 votesGreat news! The feature of reducing the size of upcoming turn/direction/navigation box in Android Auto is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

Indicator Panel with Arrows and Traffic Directions and Street Names
Hi guys, I have a suggestion for you developers,
Could you make as a Show and Hide Option the "Indicator Panel with Arrows and Traffic Directions and Street Names" which is black in color,
And it's always there on the top left and it's huge and it covers a lot of the nav screen, top left, Could you make it like some sort of show and hide option.
This Information-Indicative Panel is rarely used and is not suitable to be always present on the display especially during long distances.

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…

Allow the users to select the navigation way of look
The way the app displays the navigation route is not particularly convenient for me, especially in the part where there is the direction arrowes, which on wide roads shows all the lanes on the monitor which could be cofusing for some people , if the users will have the option to choose which way of the navigation way of look suits them (as you can select the voice in the app), they will make less directional mistakes.

Drop a pin for reporting wrong location
Sometimes the app directions are a bit off. When I arrive at a place and Waze thinks I haven't arrived to the location yet, it would be nice to be able to drop a pin and report the location. Right now it is a bit cumbersome to report so much of the time I just don't report the error at all.

share with waze app
It should definitely be possible to send places in Google Maps, for example, to Waze using the SHARE function. Because many apps open Google Maps by default and start navigation there. But if you could share the location with Waze, you could still start navigation in Waze

Recalulate Route Button / Bird's Eye Route / I'm On This Route Button
Seems like there are lots of these that get one or two votes and die the way of the dodo just like I will assume this suggestion will do. Although the idea behind Waze is social-traffic guidance it doesn't do the commuter a lot of good when they are in route on a multi-lane interstate in the middle of rush hour(s).
We all give permission for Google/Waze/everyone to know our location so use that information to know that we are on the route and recalculate the traffic speeds based on our movement and feedback on our phones.
Give us the…

New Update Has Issues
With the most recent update, my google assistant microphone no longer works with Waze while using Android Auto. For example, if I'm driving & I tap the microphone or call out to Google and ask for directions to a place, the voice command says "ok, setting your route to said place." Then my Waze map flashes but the directions do not appear nor is there any route guidance. Another feature that seems to have disappeared is adding a stop to my current route. These features worked flawlessly before the update. Also, the large block that appears in the…

Add compass rose and time to turn features from Garmin to Android Auto/Carplay
Right now you can't see the compass rose which I use all the time on my Garmin to know which direction I am headed. It works on the phone app but not Android Auto.
Garmin also has a really nice time to turn feature that gives you an approximate time to your next turn. I find myself missing exits with waze as its easier to think in seconds than "1000 feet"

Voice ads instead of popping ads that would block the navigation screen.
Hi Waze team, have an idea/suggestion...
Instead of popping out ads during users’ navigation, why not let the Voice Direction narrate the ads? So it would be a voice ad, like in the fm radio. And you can also add a cute lil “go-to” button on the navigation screen so users can tap on it and gets navigated to the shop/advertiser if applicable and necessary.
Reason being is; when you pop out ads while users are navigating, typically it would block the navigation screen, and users would just:
- either ignore with hopes that the ad would go away quickly…3 votesThank you for your suggestion! We try to make our ads as useful as possible to Wazers. An ad-free version is not planned for the near future.

Redundant steps
App would be easier to use if you didn't have to annoyingly hit the word "go" more than once for my trip to start navigating.
Hitting "Go" should not come with an "are you sure" option. So redundant in a bad way.2 votes -
Give us the voice of Gigi Saul Guerrero!
Gigi Saul Guerrero is feisty, ferociously funny, and a beloved member of the global horror community! She’s an actor, a horror film director, and the voices of Spider-Girl (Marvel Super Hero Adventures) and Vida (Super Monsters). Hailing from Mexico City, where she's known as “La Muneca Del Terror,” Gigi gained fans worldwide with her quick wit, infectious charm, and her mesmerizing timbre. (Her accent pairs well with two fingers of Casa Dragones.) Next time I drive the highways and byways of America, I want directions from Gigi Saul Guerrero!
