Who at Waze wrote the memo that things must be hard.
All I want Waze to do is get me from point A to B. This morning was in a rush, typed in mr destination address and I was then directed to input info. into Facebook and other social media. I divorced myself from Facebook years ago. They are a dog breath outfit. Why would Waze send me there?
There was no exit button, no way for me to get out of this so I logged off and got my direction from Google map.
Just make things simple, just give directions.1 voteThanks for reaching out.

Warn a user if he/she cannot drive exactly to a target because of traffic limitations
If a target is located on a walking trail or a street not allowed for private cars, warn a user on the start of navigation and again when approaching the target that he/she is led to the nearest available point because of the above obstacle.

Road block reporting was displayed vertical
It would easier to select the road blocks if they were verticals options and not horizontal, the same way the direction of traffic is. That way. If you are reporting a block road on the left you select the one on the left and not the top or bottom and if it's the one in the center you select the center. And if it's the one on the right you select the one on the right. Seamless integration to actual practice driving makes for paying attention to the road safer, Better and much easier to report. That way they can…

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…

Ui and arrow problem
UI Design – The interface sometimes feels cluttered and unpolished, making it harder to use on the go. A cleaner, more modern layout would help.
Navigation Arrow Placement – The direction arrow is inconsistent: sometimes it sits too high (near the top of the screen), making it small and hard to see quickly, especially in cities. Other times, it’s positioned well. Keeping it more centered and larger would reduce distraction while driving1 vote -
More information for the Editor when opening UR
ENGLISH:
Problem:
Often the UR (User Report) arrive to us without information, even trying to contact the user we do not get a good response rate, so much is that most open URs are closed as UNIDENTIFIED.
Improvement: When opening a UR you could get more information for the publisher in WME as
Route Start Location
Destination of the Route
Location source (Waze Database or Google Maps)
APP configuration information that user uses as Avoid Dirt Road, Toll, Expressways etc.)You may ask me: The user would not have privacy. In parts yes. When you open a UR, we do…

Mark incidents on map based on when you started the report
At Highway speeds I could be a quarter mile down the road by the time I’m done tapping out my incident report. Waze should remember my position when I started the incident report and post it back there once I’m finished.

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.

listed directions
the "next turn" needs to read what can be seen through the windshield .... EG US183 in Lampasas Tx is LOCALLY called "Bell Street" but unless you are arriving at US183 from an in town intersection, the sign is 'US183' when arriving via US281.
ALSO ... and I have screenshots for this ... but do not see a place to load them.
a route from Hamilton, TX to Austin, TX directs through Lampasas, TX. Hamilton to Lampasas on US281, THEN take US183. Directions this weekend showed a turn onto US183 about 30 miles SOUTH of Lampasas. Waze omiited the…

Auto North Button
Please give the option to Auto North Adjust the map without using the "Keep map north up" setting.
Same concept as the Re-Center button, but "Re-Rotate" the map view to North Up temporarily.
For example: Apple/Google Maps have a compass icon that you can press to re-rotate your view back to north up.
(It also shows which direction the map is pointed in, which would be nice to have)1 vote -
Always allow to use the options to report problems, even after arriving ;-)
Always allow to use the options to report problems like roadworks ect., even after arriving or interrupted trip. Why not? 🤷🏼♂️
My trick now is to start the navigation again to the same destination and hit the report botton who just came available again😄👍

As a biker I don’t want Waze to open last recent destination when starting Waze to prevent me to take off my gloves to scroll down the list.
Add an option to prevent recent destination menu to appear when starting Waze.

Early Alert for Standstill Traffic Following Accidents on Motorways
Possibility to treat standstill traffic as an alert when there is an accident ahead. When an accident occurs on a motorway and traffic queues start to form, the key is to receive an alert about the standstill traffic. Ideally, this should happen at a greater distance than usual.

Add a way to put Waze to sleep in Apple CarPlay
If I navigate with Waze in Apple CarPlay, it stays open on my phone and drains my battery unless I remember to go on my phone when I get out of my car and put Waze to sleep. Then the next time I get in my car, Waze starts up even if I don't use navigation and stays on on my phone when I get out of the car, again draining my phone battery. And if while in the car, I put Waze to sleep on my phone or quit the app, it immediately starts up again. This…

Track my car's vitals; build database for community benefits
This is a big idea, no small undertaking I know. I'd like to combine my GPS app with the functionality of an app like Gas Cubby, which tracks my MPG at every fill-up and alerts me when my car is due for maintenance.
Here's how I envision it:
-I tell Waze what car I drive: ex: 2003 Saturn Vue, 6 cyl, automatic
-Every time I stop to fill up, I tell Was
a) What my current odometer reads (waze should know how many miles I've driven in theory, but this is a checksum validation in case I forgot to open…4 votes -
Motorcycle Horizontally Mounted Phone
Dear Waze Team,
I use Waze on my motorcycle and would like to make two suggestions to improve Waze for all motorcyclists. I mount my phone horizontally on my motorcycle handlebar. But the problem I experienced with the phone being mounted horizontally is that the map on Waze is not completely visible.
The search destination bar at the botton of the screen is covering a lot of the map when there is no destination entered. Would it be possible to make a small enter destination button at the side of the screen for example below or above the speedometer instead…

Request for Full BMW iDrive 7 Integration (Cluster + HUD Support via CarPlay & Android Auto)
Hello Waze Team,
I’m writing as a dedicated Waze user and BMW owner who strongly believes that Waze deserves full integration into the driver’s cockpit — not just the center screen.
I currently use Waze on a BMW G20 330i xDrive (2021, iDrive 7) with the latest versions of iOS + CarPlay and Android + Android Auto (tested on both platforms). At this time, navigation only appears on the main display, while the instrument cluster and head-up display (HUD) remain inactive — which limits driver comfort, focus, and overall safety.
I would like to formally request that Waze enable support…
