Map scale indicator
Have you ever wondered how many miles long that traffic jam is up ahead? I sure have, but Waze gives no indication of distances on a map. How about one of the little bars that indicates the scale of the current map view - you know 1 inch equals a mile, etc.

Flash écran pour les alertes et/ou les changements de directions.
Bonjour,
je n'utilise pas les alertes vocales parce que j'écoute souvent la radio et que celles-ci viennent couper le fils des discutions.
Par contre je passe parfois à coté d'alerte parce que mon oeil n'a pas capté qu'il y avait un danger devant ou un changement d'itinéraire par rapport à d'habitude.
je propose une option qui consisterait a faire une flash rapide avec l'écran (par le flash de l’appareil photo ... il est derrière l'écran ...) pour avertir de ces alertes ou des changements de directions.8 votes -
Make reporting more succinct and only require 2 clicks
If you’re alone and do not have a passenger it is dangerous to go through so many clicks to report something (hazard, etc). There is enough real estate in the app and especially through CarPlay where you should just need to click the orange report button then the report item itself you need on that next page. This also will make the actual physical location of the report more accurate due to the traveling distance per second lost when clicking through so many pages. For example, when reporting road kill I often have 10+ seconds pass while clicking and scrolling…

I would like an "Avoid Left Turns" in addition to "Avoid Difficult Intersection" (in the US) along with additional time and distance.
I try to avoid them, anyway. But I am not aware of them on unfamiliar routes. I would like to see estimated differences in time and distance.to determine if the routes is worthwhile. I've wanted this feature for years and wondered why it is not already a feature..Not only can left turns be a hassle, but they are also inherently more dangerous..

Compass issues
When in landscape the 'speech bubble' to report something is over the top of the compass that changes the screen orientation... When I try to report something normally I end up spinning the screen instead! Can you put more distance between the icons?

Waze protect people on road
Hello my idea could safe people's life and make some extra profit for Waze.
Imagine you are cyclist, runner, wolker or group of cyclist with kids or etc.
You open Waze app choose ''protect mode'' option and select who you are. Then everyone who will driving on the same road will have an alert to slow down because you are ahead.I know that almost every new car has safety systems, but no one can see behind the corner.
Waze can sell and provide these live data to other companies like Volvo, Mercedes, Audi, BMW and they can implement them…

To small numbers
Hi, i have updated to the latest version of waze. While driving, i always mount my phone in landscape position (90 degrees)
I realized that the guide of remaining distance and remaining minutes has gone in tilt position. It only appear sometimes bit to small to read it. Need magnifying glass to read the number remaining minutes and kilometers.
This is so troublesome and not user friendly. I wiah i could downgrade it to the previous version where i can read it easily.
Fyi, i am using it on Huawei P9. Really hope you can fix this in the soonest…

Narrated story while passing by interesting landmarks
While travilng to unknown places, it would be nice if waze will alert you of any interesting landmarks or relevent facts along your way. It will have to be according to a list that specify what you are interested in, and have an easy off switch for people using waze for daily drives.
The alert can be either like a commercial or a link to the relevent wikipedia page, or it could be narrarted for hearing while driving.1 vote -

Hire car return - Find a petrol station
This is a bit weak as a stand alone app, so I was thinking you could integrate this into Waze.
When returning hire cars you are required to return with a full tank of gas, otherwise be charged an extortionate rate.
So if you are navigating to an airport or car hire facility, allow a function in Waze, within a set radius inform you of the distance to a gas station (and reroute you if necessary).2 votesYou can find gas stations on around your route and add them as a stop point.

Search text size
When searching for a location by name, many times the name is so long you get no additional information as to the street or city or have any idea except the distance if the same name exists on multiple streets and cities. You have no idea where the location is. A good example is searching for Cracker Barrel restaurants. Recent search turned up 8 locations but none of the results in the app showed street or city.

when announcing road hazards, it shoult be stated which side of the road
knowing what side of the road prepares you better, to either change lanes or be more alert

Please give us the option to turn off the sound when a hazard is acknowledged, I don't need a ding to show me I acknowledged the hazard.
There should be an option to turn on or off the sound acknowledgement when you say a hazard is there or not, forcing the alert sound on for all is ridiculous.

Traffic Alerts
Give drivers the option to manually enter a traffic incident ( police, speed camera etc) on the map rather than only allowing the them to report an incident on their tracking location. This can allow a driver to go a different direction or go past an incident and still enter an alert accurately for other drivers. Also allow an option for speed camera alone, because it is difficult to differentiate from police or a speed trap.

Retrospective report submission
The option to retrospectively report an alert for other drivers. Reporting alerts such as collisions, police activity, petrol prices etc can’t and shouldn’t really be done while driving (if driving alone) - but once at a standstill, or at your destination, the option to scroll back down your route and place the alert at the location worth mentioning would be ideal. - the orange button to do so only appears while en-route and your map “centered” using the compass, which takes you away from where you want to report the activity.
