The ETA on the shared route (My Drive) website is no longer visible on older browsers
The ETA is visible only for a very short time before the map is overlaid. Older browser is the default browser of an older Android phone (Samsung with Android 2.3) and IE9.
Also tried the current Firefox and Chrome versions, and both are OK.

Incident/slowdown on map view when selecting route
About a year ago, when using the map view to select a route on the Android app, you were able to see traffic slowdowns. This was super helpful when trying to decide which route to use. Currently, when you view the list, it shows traffic speeds by color and incidents/hazards/police, but there is no way to know exactly where the accident or slowdown is located. If you look at the map view, the proposed route is all one color, and doesn't show slowdowns or incidents.
It would be great to at least see the orange, yellow, and red colors for…

Alternate routes color text
On the alternative routes page, on an Android phone, reading the best route information is difficult because the text and green background are bright. I would like you to improve the contrast, maybe changing the text to black.

Modo Android Auto depois da atualização ficou muito poluido. O Mapa de navega
A tela de navegação anterior era melhor utilizada, hoje a tela, com os atalhos fixos, é pequena e com muita poluição de ícones na tela. A versão anterior era bem melhor.

Speed limit alert
Hey Waze
I have a proposal that I think would help with traffic safety. You have already created a speed alert. The problem today is that it only gives an alarm once in a speed zone. To get a new alarm, you need to enter a new speed zone. I thought it might be a good idea to make it possible for you to choose to get an alarm as long as you drive too fast, and that you can choose the alarm tone and volume. In android auto, the speedometer is placed on the right side of the screen,…

Lane display in AA/CarPlay
Hello,
I suggest changing the lane display on Waze in CarPlay/Android Auto. The display is too small although there is the possibility of having a larger display without losing the basic instructions.
Here is an example --> https://photos.app.goo.gl/yDCGB9X6EhJyWogAA

Allow for non numeric numbers in address for places.
Today twice I tried entering two business's that were not already on map. Because I was not allowed to use the "-" (dash symbal) to represent the suite number, technically the address was NOT completely correct. In a large complex that could be only way to find a business. You already allow numeric keypad to come up for inputting so why not allow the minus key to actively work as well. It also causes you to earn less points because it thinks you are inputting same address as entered by a previous user. I was inputting from my Android phone…

Make the "speed camera" warning smaller in landscape
Hi :-)
I've been using Waze for a long time and I enjoy using it a lot.However lately the bar that shows arrival time has grown, leaving less space for the map.
That's not the worst though. The worst is that, when nearing a speed camera or speed enforcement zone, the warning covers almost half the screen, pushing the speedometer behind the directions. As you can maybe surmise, I'd really like to be able to see how fast I'm going when nearing a speed camera.
I use the app in landscape because that's the least intrusive way to fix…

Allow the app to work without google play services/store/post it on github
As Google will be breaking normal downloading and forcing a lot of android users to use the app store (which is already a pain), and if this happens a lot of users who use android exclusively for the lack of restrictions will move away from android to open source forks which possibly won't even support google services at all...
Please post a version of Waze on github with its own internal services/dependencies! (Similar to how it works on Apple, no?)
Clippy grows larger every day...

Show as Navigation Option
Waze does not show as a navigation optiot in the Google Navigation System. Other apps, such as, Scout, Google navigation, Google Maps, show as navigation options. Waze does not appear on the Android Navigation option screen.
It should be an easy fix for the Android system to recognize Waze navigation.

Userabolity improvement
Please provide an option whereby I can get rid of the wear too line or the my waze line on my phone. It takes up way too much space to have both of them and it didn't always used to be that way. I am running android 12 it's android 12 on a Samsung S22 and this was the same thing that happened on my android sandroid Samsung S5. 5. This is really annoying and you're forcing me to look for an alternative to waze

Add navigation options to the main screen, rather than hidden in the Settings
Add navigation options to the main screen, rather than hidden in the Settings.
I frequently need to check arrival times for navigation where I want to take the motorway or avoid the motorway - but the only way to change navigation options is in Settings, which is a) hard to get into when driving (trying to drive and use my phone at the same time is dangerous and/or illegal), and b) impossible to get into via Android Auto on my car's in-built display.
Having a simple Nav settings option on the main navigation screen - particularly for Android Auto in-car,…

screen rotation
Screen rotation. I use Waze on android, and I don't have a phone holder in many of the vehicles I drive for work, so I invert my phone (because the charging cable is plugged in) and put it in the cup holder. The map does not re-orient with the phone rotation, so the map and everything on it is upside down. It's been like this for a long time and I'm kinda getting used to it, but it would be nice to not perform mental gymnastics to figure out what I need to do while I'm also supposed to…

Waze felhasználása vezérlésre
Mivel a navigáció pontos hely adatokkal rendelkezik, ezért fel lehetne használni gépjármű, más eszközök vezérlésére. Így például mivel a KRESZ 44 § 8. bekezdése alapján "Lakott területen kívüli úton a forgalomban részt vevő gépkocsit nappali menetjelző lámpával vagy tompított fényszóróval ki kell világítani" igy erre való figyelmeztetés vagy vezérlést be lehetne építeni a szoftverbe. Ugyanígy elterjedt ha valaki hazaér akkor egy x km körben "vezérlőjelet" küldjön ki a navigáció a garázs/kertkapu nyitására. Ez a vezérlés akár történhet valami bluetooth-os wifi-s, de akár ma újra népszerű Tone-DTMF adatátvitel segítségével is.

Display bug onAndroid Auto
I can't find a way to notify a bug, so here it is as an improvement proposal:
When I plan a drive on the phone before plugin the phone to the car, I don't get anymore alerts and display of speed in Android Auto.
If Waze is off on the phone when I connect to the car, and I start the itinerary in Android Auto, everything is fine.
I connect using USB-C cable, and phone is Fairphone 3 with Android 10, but I saw it on other phone brands as well1 vote -
Orientações de direções no celular
Aplicativo Waze é mal elaborado para o Android Auto em comparação com a Apple CarPlay.
No Android Auto não é possível obter as orientações de direções no celular enquanto está ligado na tela do carro. Isso causa muito desconforto.
Na Apple CarPlay o Waze está completamente redondo e sem apontamentos à fazer.1 vote
