Im requesting the address be displayed at the top of the navigation app until the user has completed the stop. Currently you cannot see the address your trying to locate “on screen” only if you remember the address in your head or if you go over the your “recent address “ listings. Sometime its hard to see the numbers on the houses so this feature would really help me locate addresses rather then slow me down and also risk myself of getting in an accident since I’m staring at the app to remember what address I’m looking for. Thank…

Suggestion on reporting police traps.
Many people incorrectly report police traps when on a major highway and there is a substantial divide between north and south lanes (woods or grass). An example is I am heading south and see a police vehicle hidden in the woods looking at northbound traffic. I have now way to select other side and hidden together. So people select hidden but it shows up to southbound traffic when in fact it should warn northbound traffic.
A few more choices/selections/modifiers in all categories would help pin dow types and location of issues.
I would love to be part of a Beta…3 votes -
Audio apps on carplay
Youtube Music, Spotify, iHeart Radio, etc. have integrations with the waze app to show current track info on waze, I'd like to see that track info displayed on waze when using Apple Carplay.
I'd like to see both navigation and track info showing on the Carplay screen, either through the carplay dashboard screen, or inside the Waze app

Knowing the direction of the closure
Hi>
Why isn't the closure displayed in the app the same way it is on the Waze map editor?
We often encounter misleading reports where users believe the entire street is closed.
I believe it would be beneficial to add small arrows to the traffic closure, similar to those in the map editor, to indicate the direction of the closure.thanks!
3 votesHey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not right now, 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.
Thanks!

Screensaver
In Ontario/Canada as per Highway & Traffic Act, it is illegal to use smartphone/device without hands free operation, and police have stated that submitting status info on apps such as Waze is illegal as per Act and grounds for ticket for not driving “hands free”. Fine for doing so (and using Waze) and distracted driving is currently over $600-800 and 3’demerit points.
Of course I observe police cruisers driving with hands on computer console violating traffic act.
It would be great to have a screensaver (blank screen or other) that could be quickly toggled on Waze display (phone and/or CarPlay)…

Displaying the distance of right or left turns with a progress bar instead of a number of kilometers
I'd like to suggest an improvement to Waze's turn-by-turn navigation. Similar to the progress bar shown in traffic jams, it would be helpful to have a progress bar for turns, indicating the distance remaining until the turn and the user's current location. This would provide a more visual and intuitive way to understand the proximity to the turn.

Showing lane signs even without navigation
Sometimes you drive without navigation and reach an intersection where some of the lanes go in different directions, and because of the road conditions the signs are hidden and it is impossible to understand which lane to choose.
It would be useful if the directions of travel in each lane were displayed on the screen, as there is during navigation but without highlighting any lane.3 votes -
Progressive speed warning
Displaying speed in red when speeding is a nice feature. The audible warning is also great and not distracting. But it was be nice to have option to play different tones as you go over speed limit by certain intervals. Eg. 5 over, 10 over, etc. It is easy to keep going faster on some sections of road and it would be great to be reminded.

Cadillac
I purchased a 2025 Cadillac and I can download the Waze app in the Google play store which is built in. But it is a terrible experience. The map colors keep flickering from the default colors to a brown/yellow tone, the voice guidance is loud and cannot be lowered- if you try to lower the voice it just goes back to the default which is very loud at the next prompt, the driver dash screen has the option to view the map but Waze is the only one which does not display on the dash, Google maps and Apple Maps…

Switching locations as easy as it is for Google Maps
If I'm currently at location A (say), the current version of Waze (for Android) don't allow me to explore the route between 2 other different locations (B & C say). It only uses my current location (A) to any other locations so could you please make it possible to have two search boxes to allow us to explore the route of any 2 locations (e.g. From B to C)?, and also make it easy to switch between these 2 locations by having a double headed vertical arrows that can be used to switch the locations with a single tap to…
1 voteIt’s a bit tricky, but possible. Here’s the flow:
1. Select an address, which would be your starting point
2. On the preview location page tap on ‘More’ button (three dots), tap ‘Select as starting point’
3. Select an address which would be your destination
4. Tap ‘Go’ – Waze would calculate a route from selected start point to the selected destination point. -
Feature Request: Show Total ETA and Drive Duration When Adding Stops :
Dear Waze Team,
As a frequent user who relies on Waze for both personal and professional navigation, I’ve noticed a counterintuitive behavior when adding a stop to a route: the app updates the ETA and drive duration to reflect only the added stop, not the final destination. This disrupts planning, especially when the stop is brief or incidental.
Request:
Please consider adding an option to display the total drive duration and ETA to the final destination, even when a stop is added. Ideally, this could be shown as:
- A combined ETA (current time + total duration to final destination…1 vote -
Please indicate the direction you are going on the Waze app.
Please indicate which direction you are headed. This will be helpful to those who do not have a sense of direction. Example: north, northeast, northwest, west, east, south, southwest, southeast.

Use phone orientation to determine initial driving direction
Problem:
When starting navigation from a stationary position, Waze often assumes my car is facing the direction of the road segment, not my actual heading.
This leads to wrong initial instructions — for example, being told to “turn right” when in reality I need to make a U-turn first because I’m facing the opposite direction.Proposed Solution:
Use the phone’s built-in compass and orientation sensors to estimate the initial heading of the vehicle when navigation begins.
In most real-world cases, the phone is positioned facing the same direction as the car (mounted on the dashboard or windshield).
By using this…2 votes -

End of the year, or end of month Recap
It sounds weird in a way possible, but just like Snapchat, Spotify, and other social media sites and music sites, I believe Waze should have an end-of-the-year recap.
What kind of data would this display?
Tickets Avoided: How many cops you were alerted about
Total Distance: How many miles driven with waze
Top Speed: If legal ;)
Avg Speed, Avg Distance, etc.. just some generic data
Then maybe some reporting recaps, like what months you were most active, what did you report the most, etc...I of course, may not be able to come up with all the cool…

issue with Waze on Apple CarPlay
Not a suggestion, but an issue.
I use Waze on Apple CarPlay. My car is a 2022 Range Rover Evoque. My phone is iPhone SE on iOS 16.5.1.
A nice facility does not work anymore. Waze being normally used (to get route indications), but selecting the Apple Music screen on Apple CarPlay, this Apple Music screen used to display (in addition to normal Apple Music information) at the bottom of the screen short (but precise) route indications (such as “turn left to Avenue XYZ in 30 meters”).
This facility has disappeared. Randomly it wakes up and gives one route indication…1 voteThanks for reaching out.

Things i wish i had on my 2k mile road trip
- allow police moving as an option
- allow tracking of route, speed, location, comments, and pins to be displayed if looking for something. (i hit a deer and the only thing I did was marked it on Waze and I don’t know where i was)
- Beep function not working for me would like to honk at others
- Announce toll booths ahead
- Price corrections on gas when parked at the gas station
- Allow notifications for comments for review later some are hilarious
Keep up all the excellent work and I LOVVVEEE the WAZE app.
