1. Speed Camera Audio Alerts should be User not Community Choice

   It seems there is a lack of clarity regarding Speed Camera Audio Alerts and how they are triggered.

   From what I can tell, audio alerts for speed cameras are a "community" choice, meaning that an audio alert will only be played given a number of conditions:
   Depending on where you live - Your "community" decides what the threshold should be, that is if you are currently travelling at the speed limit or below, some communities will trigger the audio alert. Some communities require you to be travelling over the speed limit before the audio alert it triggered.

   Also apparently there is a setting for cameras in the map editor that allows to populate the speed camera. If this is set to 0 the audio is always triggered.

   It is questionable that the visual trigger is always activated regardless of what speed the user is going and this is potentially a visual distraction especially if no audio alert is played. Surely it is far safer to audibly relate this information rather than have the user check something pop up on the screen while driving or to keep checking every so often to see if the visible speed camera alert has popped on the screen.

   These settings are not made clear by Waze and feel there needs to be a bit more transparency regarding about how the audio speed camera audio alerts work. It is all very confusing and leads to the conclusion that the app doesn't work correctly, when in fact it does, but is a setting related to a "Community" choice.

   I won't get into detail about who I think the "Community" might be, maybe this a legal requirement depending on where you live, but again this needs to be more transparent.

2. Alternate route display should follow the setting for "Keep map north up"

   If "Keep map north up" is off then alternate routes should be displayed with my position at the bottom of the screen.

   This will make it easier to visualise alternate routes relative to my current position.

   Also applies to the app but I'm only able to select one category.

3. North up changes desperately needed

   I am trying to use Waze with the map displayed in the direction I’m actually going, North Up, Because with the map always moving what is actually North to just keep my direction always going towards the top of the screen one loses all perspective on where things are. When one would read a paper map one would always keep the map north up, that way you could always learn your relative position to other places. The problem comes in, when the map is set to north up the position is always in the dead middle of the screen rather than to the left right top or bottom depending on which direction one is traveling. That means you can’t glance and see potential issues ahead of you because you have cut off at least 80 or 90% of the screen. The vehicle should be to the far edge of the screen regardless of which direction one is traveling. Yes, I get it, that means you’re gonna have to move the car, but right now having the car always traveling up the screen destroys all sense of relative location. Please find a way to fix this.

4. Move "OK" and "Not There" options further apart on Apple Car Play

   When some sort of hazard is announced while using Apple Car Play, there is the option to choose "OK" (I think) and "Not There". These options are stacked right on top of each other. Please put some space between them. I have many times chosen the wrong one. Sometimes I also find myself looking at the screen trying to land my finger in the right spot instead of watching the road. Please do better testing on Apple Car Play.

5. Improve new layout update - causes lags

   Although the new update looks sleek and bold, it also has a lot of lags and geo tagging errors. The screen would turn blank for a second in between switching tabs and icons as well and it's pretty inconvenient especially when you're in the middle of driving.

6. Share trips from phone to car running aaos

   Hello everyone, I do uber full time and recently switched to waze. I was very happy to see that waze is available on my polestar 2's aaos but as an uber driver there's 1 option that would be a killer feature for us.

   When I accept a trip on uber it automatically opens the waze app on my phone, but I am greeted with a message saying "waze is open on your car, user here or exit". Even when I choose use here and then switch back to my car, it doesn't pick up where I left off. Hence why I would like to make a suggestion, add a 3rd option to that screen I mentioned earlier that says "send to car".

   Something that would be even better is to have a "car mode" option on the main waze app which automatically shares trips that comes from uber to the car (similar to Google maps on Android auto, since maps is disabled on your phone when using android auto it automatically shares the trip to maps on Android auto). So the "car mode" option would be like "uber sends trip to waze on main phone -> waze automatically shares trip to waze on car (aaos)".

   Let me know if it's a worthwhile feature to add, thanks.

7. "Blind" Report Entry

   I have an idea about how to make Waze truly "blind" -- i.e. how to use it to post accurate and detailed notices without ever having to look at the device (or look away from traffic).

   The way it works right now is you tap the Report Icon and then a screen appears with a number of options. For most options there are suboptions, and then you have to send the report for it to make it visible to other Wazers. This means a minimum of FOUR times you must glance at your phone in order to report something. However, there is a way that you don't need to look even once! It involves sounds and dragging.

   To start a report, the button should be in the bottom-right corner -- all the way in the corner, so we can FEEL where the button is by tracing the edge of our screen with our fingers. Once our finger is touching that corner area for a moment, then is plays a unique sound. This sound tells the driver that they are activating the report screen.

   The report screen appears only if the finger remains touching the screen, but stays up as long as the finger is there. The sound the report screen might make is a 'C' xylophone note.

   Then the user drags their finger to another spot on the pop-up. As they drag their finger to that spot, different options play different sounds. Traffic might be a 'G' xylophone note, while Police might be an 'E'. So the user can determine which issue they are reporting by hearing the sound that corresponds to that issue. After hovering for a moment on that issue, a secondary pop-up screen appears and sub-options are listed here. Again a different sound will play for each of these sub-options that are dragged over ('A' and 'D' xylophone notes for minor traffic, 'A' and 'G#' for standstill, etc).

   After hearing the correct sequence of sounds (of which would take some time to get used to but then should work smoothly), the user then lets go of the phone. A second tap anywhere would confirm the report (which could play a 'C' chord or something).

   The user would hold down their finger, dragging to two places, and tapping. Never once should he/she have to look away from the road. With time this would be much faster than regular reporting as well.

   Other options for sounds:
   -- A voice reporting the current option ("Accident", "Caution", etc)
   -- Sound effects ("car crash", "squealing tires", honking", etc)
   -- Other instruments ("trumpets", or "Johnny Cash" (In fact you could have guest performers as well, like an add-on like the voice commands)).

8. Move hazard button

   The hazard button should be moved from right of display screen to left for CarPlay. Currently I have a wide display that requires me to lean just to reach it.

   It also should be made a bit bigger as it’s hard to hit it with the leaning.

9. New UI prevents sleep after starting a drive

   The UI changes need to be better tested for usability because this is frustrating and not needed…

11. Problem with new version. Please, please, please...

    I own an AppRadio car stereo, which worked perfectly with Waze on my iPhone until last week when I updated Waze (now, two versions ago). Now, some Navigation lists won't not scroll on my AppRadio touchscreen (ie. I can no longer touch-&-drag 1) my Recents list on the main "Navigate" screen, 2) my "Favorites" list, and 3) any "Search results" list after I pick a Category. All other touch functions work (as far as I know), and I am still able to touch-&-drag through the "Categories" list itself (for some reason).

    Please, please, please revert to the old scrolling code in the next version/update! If you cannot, please provide an app option where I can downgrade to that older version of Waze for the iPhone, if possible.

    PS - I joined 1 mo ago, am a big fan, have been spreading the word, and am already a Wazer Knight bc of all the holiday and work driving, as well as reporting, I have been doing from my AppRadio (its so easy and fun!). Thanks so much.

12. new version is a mess!!! do not connect with android auto

    Hi!
    What did you do to the application after a new version since April?
    1) it does not connect with android auto to see the app on the car screen
    2) to use the car screen you have to generate the route from the phone and then connect to the car
    
    3) the icons in wase are very small that they do not allow an easy visualization and not with the same order that we were used to
    4) It is very slow when you want to move the map with your fingers, it is not fast or effective
    5) the information on toll costs, for example, is super outdated, and is irrelevant information
    I work with people transport apps and I use waze a lot, they are making my life impossible, disconnecting and connecting the phone to be able to see the route, go back to the previous version, it is the best, and can you tell me where I can get that version to use it? while accommodating this recent version
    Thank you

13. route changes suggestions setting

If I can have the settings to auto accept or request , and then if it pops up on screen and I can't stop the car to accept or not it minimises or disappears after a minute, so I can at least see directions, speed limits etc

15. Toggle Map View to reduce info screens

    I think it should be a toggle option to increase map view and reduce/minimize turn by turn directions and ETA info size. These two information displays take up a large portion of the viewable scree when full screen. The minimized/reduce view would be greatly reduced to a single line. A user could touch the single line and then the view go back to normal, if needed or desired.

    Wish there was a way to add (eg, road closures) offline - currently it seems the only way to do it is to actually drive there until the triangle button appears on the screen. Trying to warn everyone as a closed road is currently showing as roadworks/closed lane.

18. Add Option to Choose Vehicle Icon Position

    Suggestion:
    Hello Waze team,

    Many users, including myself, find it difficult to use Waze on large screens because the vehicle icon is displayed on the right side of the screen by default. For drivers seated on the left side (left-hand drive vehicles), this creates visual discomfort and requires more eye effort to follow the route.

    I suggest adding an option to allow users to choose the vehicle icon position on the navigation screen—left, center, or right. This would let users adjust the display according to their seating position, screen size, and personal comfort. It would improve visibility, reduce eye strain, and make navigation safer, especially at complicated junctions or on larger LCD displays.

    Thank you for considering this feature!

19. Extra Opt-Out Box

    I'd like to suggest that the 'my waze' and 'where to' boxes that now automatically sit at the bottom of the screen have a opt-out check box in the display section. As they are most annoying when using Waze without needing or wanting to input a destination.

    The hazards should be voice input via phone. Wake WAZE with a command such as Waze hazard, then state the hazard. I don't report a lot of hazards since it's a distraction to look at my phone to select a screen of options.

    Thank you. For the consideration.
