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.

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!

Add Kinyarwanda
Hello, I used the transifex to request Kinyarwanda translation. I have translated lots of apps into Kinayarwnda and my language is spoken by more than 30M globally, including those in Europe like Belgium and France. I am already contributing to Google Maps and I joined Waze to expand its use.

Need improving favorite / search
I have idea about favorite / search
- Why not let Waze search address from my contact list?
- Why not create folder in favorite? Like Friend, Company, Restaurant, etc.
- When click address on contact, link to Waze instead iPhone's map
That would be great!

Amélioration
Bonjour,
Serait-il pas judicieux d'indiquer sur la cartographie les feux rouges et les panneaux STOP lors de la navigation sur l'itinéraire comme sur Maps

New map on android auto is not user friendly. See details...
The new android auto map has several things that made it less user friendly. First the posted speed and your speed icons are so small that they are hard to read in a glance. You actually have to look very close at it to read them because of the small size.
Also, the reporting button is so tiny and it's black and white now which blends it to the map more and makes it less easily accessible while driving without looking. The old bigger icons were more user friendly. Even after you select to report sometging the icons are much…6 votes -
Add navigation for on water and in air so you can use Waze when your on a boat and on a plane or helicopter and make it so can see planes.
If your on a plane you can get directions and see other flights and other apps can show you flights so Waze can do it to and on water will be super useful you see police boats and other stuff and make it switchable in the app so you can switch to land to water to air and maybe even add to google maps because Waze might merge with google maps because they own Waze.

maximum one report per X miles
Hi there,
Waze is awesome and everyone is using it. Some like me to navigate from Northern Denmark all the way to Romania on holiday others just to find out about speed traps.
In Romania, Waze caught a lot of media attention so we have a lot of new users, who are obsessed with the points. The new users part is good. We get more reports, more places, we improve on the map problems and we know exactly where the police is :)))
But then due to the point system, the new users instead of thanking for a reported police…

Alerts on “Map View” when choosing routes
Whenever you type a destination it gives you 3 route options with lines in “List View” that show potential hazards, traffic and visible police. You should also have those same hazards show up when you click “Map View” and see the 3 different colored routes, so there is a better visual as to where those “alerts” are actually located. This would be easier than having to guess by the line.

when connected to carplay would be great to have graphic map displayed on iPhone instead of being forced to display turn-by-turn.

Please can you show what speed limits apply just as Google Maps does, instead of just telling us when we're speeding?
Useful extra info please

Place Photos
To report a Place via the client, the user is required to first take a photo before entering any details.
This process should be changed as it:
discourages Wazers from adding a Place if it is dark/raining or other factors prevent them from taking a satisfactory photo, and;
results in ineffective photos (blurry, dark, inappropriate) being added which do not fulfil the intended purpose of assisting other Wazers to identify the Place.
Making Photos optional when adding a Place, and adding the ability to upload from the Camera Roll/Computer/etc, would improve the Waze map by enabling Wazers to add Places…

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.

Enable creation of a hyperlink to send to friends to meet up. They can click to navigate usin new web based non app you will develop or ....
So you can share meetups on an email create a location hyperlink button for email meeting up "create location hyperlink". This goes to wase app if thry have it or allows downloading of waze or maybe you can make a web lite version for basic navigation. Or google maps link that promotes waze. You'll still get them to download waze eventually but makes a quick user enhancement without any development time.
1 voteGreat news! The share drive feature is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

waze whats near me
Add "Whats Near Me?" function to the app.
Add an option to find Places in WME "near me" on the map in the Waze App. Instead of searching for fast food or fashion and clothing, just allow us to find the closest 10 places to our current location. would allow for users to update existing places on the editor, add photos, and various other things. Thanks to
mindofbeholder for the idea.19 votes -
Total fail when driving to the airport.

Display time stamp for waze recorded traffic.
It would be nice to see how long ago waze recorded the traffic(speed of a user). Waze tried to reroute me because it said there was traffic ahead, but I continued and where it showed red on the map, there was no traffic at all.

Simplify Wazer and Editor workflow for residential places
The current method for a wazer to add their home to the map is confusing and creates more work for waze map editors. The workflow for a wazer is similar to this:
Wazer selects the yellow triangle (if it's displayed on their map)
Next selects "Place"
(now it is about to get really confusing)
Wazer must take a picture
The next screen says "Select Place" with a text field that says "Enter Place name".
For a residence, the wazer should not enter a place name. Just below the text field there is apparently a "button" that if tapped will add…31 votes -
"I'm in a parking garage" button to delay route recalculation and map out garages
An "I'm in a parking garage" button would allow you to:
1) Delay route recalculation until the car had actually started on the route (10 meters along actual street or so)
2) Map out existing parking garages for feedback to navigation
Because fiddling with your phone while driving is illegal in Austin, I prefer to set the route and be done with it before I start driving. Driving in circles around the garage means I typically have to do it afterward if I don't want recalculation to squelch my chosen route (non-toll vs toll for instance).

Have Non Profit Blood Donation Centers Added to POI's & Alerts as a public service.
Have all non-profit blood centers listed as points of interest on Waze Maps. Also, have a blood drive icon added as an option to tag.
