Add "HIGHWAY FIRST" to route preference
When there are several routes available, I've noticed that Waze may calculate a route that combines both ground roads and highways. This is done to save a little time or reduce toll fees but can result in entering the highway from a distant entrance or exiting the highway too early. This approach leads to more instances of entering and exiting, as well as increased interactions with other drivers, which is unnecessary and more dangerous.
I suggest implementing a "HIGHWAY FIRST" preference. When a highway is available, the system should calculate a route that prioritizes the use of highways, even if it's slightly longer, more expensive, or takes a bit more time. This route should then be offered as an option for users to decide on their own.
I believe this will greatly assist new drivers and help reduce accidents.

Add Google Maps Settings to Waze Car Play app
Please add settings to the CarPlay Waze app navigation screen as seen on the Google Maps screen.
I lost all sound on Waze which Waze support could not resolve.
Inadvertently I selected Google Maps and used its settings to reinstate the sound on Waze.2 votes -

Indications regarding the police
I am very pleased about the alerts of the app, however there is one alert I would recommend to eliminate: proximity of police. It may be that with this alert we are providing very valuable information to criminals that will be very happy to avoid facing police officers, even avoiding police controls displayed to stop such criminals. In the same way these alerts provide a heads-up to drivers that may be driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, under excessive speed or with non appropriate vehicles. I do not endorse providing these alerts because of the mentioned shortfalls. Thank you

Musi
There is a wonderful app, called Musi, that plays music directly from YouTube WITHOUT ads. You only pay $7 to remove the onscreen ads, and even then it lasts forever because it’s tied to the account.
Waze has 3 million reviews on the App Store alone.
Musi has 3.3 million.Could we possibly set it up to attach Musi to Waze?

I really think the team should link into this!

Juiste baanvak pijl(en)
Geachte medewerkers,
Is het mogelijk (volgens mij een minimale software aanpassing), om de juiste basnvak welke men moet kiezen een groene kleur te geven in plaats van iets helderder wit. Het iets meer wit is soms moeilijk te onderscheiden en draagt er toe bij dat de weggebruiker zich beter moet concentreren op het navigatiescherm. Dit draagt niet bij aan de verkeersveiligheid.

Boa noite.
Boa noite.
Poderiam incluir o aviso de “pista dupla a frente” por exemplo “pista dupla a 300 metros”.
Isso faria com que muitas ultrapassagens fossem desnecessárias, aguardando até achegar a área mais segura para a ultrapassagem. Poderia reduzir o número de acidentes.
Obrigado.2 votes -
Don't automatically start giving directions
I say where to go, then look at rout and options. But before I can decide the app automatically starts yelling directions loudly (in restaurant it's embarrassing). Google Maps waits untill I press the Start button. Maybe that can be an option setting, I HATE your presumption and being forced!

Customizable map and spotify
Please make an option where spotify is permanently displayed without the map going dark and that it is at the bottom instead of the top. Perhaps the map view could also be customizable so that everyone can move the icons themselves.

Fix the speed display
I rely on the speed limit and vehicle speed showing up on the screen (I use Apple Play in my vehicles). However, recently, it is not showing, although the setting is still set to display it.

Fix the phone overheating issue
Let me explain the background on this. I've been happily using Waze with AA in my car for several years. All of a sudden, mid Feb 2024, my phone is overheating, sometimes before I even leave my driveway! I added a utility to my phone to troubleshoot and what I discovered is atrocious. This started right around Feb 19th. Whenever I have Waze running in the car, Google Maps is also running in background. If I use Google Maps to navigate, the phone doesn't overheat and Waze doesn't open either. I am already in the Beta group for Android Auto, and I provided them with the details, though that is more like dropping into a black hole. I don't know if the Waze group at Google can help with this, but you'd should be talking to each other. I also have seen posts from several other people who have been having the same problem and it all started around the same time. Where I live there's no normal reason for the overheating, since it's winter here and I'm mostly driving at night. I see no documentation from Waze that would require Google Maps to run when I was using Waze. I would much rather use Waze for my navigation because of all the features it has that Google Maps doesn't. And it becomes a more serious problem, because if the phone overheats then I lose my Pandora music as well, not mention phone calls and alerts. I gave up Sirius XM a year ago due to the outrageous price.
So, is there a reason you are aware of why Google Maps would have to run if I'm using Waze? Stopping Google Maps is not a viable option.
Thank you for listening, and hopefully there's a fix for this coming, sooner rather than later.
Carol RitcheyFor reference, my phone is Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G, running Android 13, all updates installed. Waze, Google Maps and Android Auto are all fully up to date, according to the Play Store.

Add to reporting options
Please consider adding an addition to the hazard, crashes or traffic jams portion of the reporting...I.e., hazard LEFT shoulder, crash RIGHT lane, RIGHT or LEFT lane closed merge right/left. Today we do not know where the issue is, and this would be super helpful in Miami traffic 😩

automatic Day night mode
On previous version was working perfectly. On sunset the night mode was being changed normally. Now the night mode must be forced manually even the automatic mode is enable. I recommend only use the time instead the dim car function because the screen on dash doesn't have the capability to check if my headlights are on. Why something so easy the apps do it complicated?

Note detours / closure when reason for future turn
If an upcoming turn (even if miles away) is due to a road closure/ detour, create an alert. This can allow finding alternative route earlier and avoid significant backups on highways by taking earlier exits
