Launch Waze automatically when driving
It's rather annoying for me having to remember to launch the Waze app every time I start driving somewhere. Would it be possible for the app to detect that you are driving and launch automatically? Preferably with as little battery drain as possible.

Speed limit icon too small
I absolutely love this app—it's my go-to navigation tool, and I wouldn't be taking the time to give this feedback if I didn’t value it so much.
During my first big ride out last weekend, I noticed one significant issue: the speed limit icon(the red circle) is simply too small. I find myself having to shift my focus and move my eyes about six inches from the screen just to read it.
While I understand I shouldn’t rely solely on the app for speed limit confirmation, it’s incredibly useful in a pinch. Ideally, the icon should be about the size…

Double Screen mode
Waze does not allow double screen mode. It would be very simple and usefull !
Phone screens are getting bigger and you can even have a tablet in your car now. Double screen mode would allow users to use waze while having an eye on another app such as music, car parameters (dashcommand for example) or whatever they want !5 votes -

Thanks

Stop sending survey requests via the App.

Able a shortcut icon on your cellphone home screen for your favorite addresses.

System constantly reroutes then the server times out & deletes exsiting route
When I set a route the system constantly reroutes almost every quarter to half a mile. At least 50% if not greater I will then get a message that the server timed out. This wouldn't be so bad except that when this happens it deletes the route I'm trying to follow until it tries again and usually then the server returns a route. This makes Waze virtually unusable. Please make it that once Waze has a route that it continues displaying and following that route until it gets new information from the user or server for a new route. Even…

Finger hold for icon placement
When placing a hazard or police location on the map, currently you have to tap on the screen to bring up the choices, tap for police, tap again for their location and then tap again to place it on the map. Why not after the first tap, if you keep your finger on the screen, automatically show the options, slide your finger to the one you want, and then once your finger is released, the icon drops straight into the map.
Simple and less steps to get the right icon on the map and also lessens the time concentrating on…17 votes -
Enable full control in the app using voice only
Add an option to interact with the app using voice control
for instance :
reporting an obstacle on the road using Siri/Google assistant,
rerouting to a new destination while driving,
share your location using a voice command.
All these options should prevent the user from touching the phone while driving and decrease distractions.
The convenience of using the app while talking only will increase the amount of users reporting , and interacting with the many options given in the app.
This will lead to more credible information to be provided for the users.13 votes -
Live map (browser) - allow add drive-trough points, and save route w points to phone to use later (planned trips)
In convenient large browser version on desktop/notebook, live map view, it is IMPOSSIBLE to handpick specific point to avoid rerouting trough other contry highway nearby etc... If someone tells me specifically i need to use some route point to pass trough, i want the ability to set it, conveniently on pc, and then share the whoule segmented route to phone - now on live map there is no way to add points to route

Indicate the speed limit on each portion in addition to the speedometer. Indicate the time or the last wazer to borrow the same road.
Save favorite places on the internet account, it avoids recreating when changing phone.
4 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already displays a speedometer, including both your driving speed and the speed limit for the road you’re currently on.

Tech Support
- Why not have an actual accessible tech support email system that can be found and used?
- After my phone went from Lollipop to Marshmallow, the Waze map disappeared. And navigation wasn't possible. So I uninstalled and reinstalled. Then, while it recogized me from my phone number and showed my username and points accumulated, etc., it said it couldn't find my account from my phone number, same phone, and wouldn't restore me, even though it showed my username and points. Like 25 times. Then I logged in with Fb and it now associates my phone number with an unregistered new…

Traffic incidents, Speed traps Police Trap
Dear S/M
Im a very keen Waze user, the only suggestion I would like to make is regarding announcements of speed and police traps or other traffic incidents. These according to my driving experience using Waze should be made not only once or little bit earlier but also at least three times (for ex. 1x1000m 2x500m 3x200m) before arriving at the certain point.
Especially the ones reported by the other Waze users, because oftenly for example when I see something to report, it takes other 200-300 meters until I take the phone in my hand and finally push the reporting…7 votes -
Configurable sound outputs in Android App
Currently, the Android App is working in an unsatisfying way:
In the Settings menu, under Sound, I've enabled the option to play sounds using the phone's speaker.
When I plug in my earphones in my phone (a Samsung Galaxy S6) I expect all sound to be diverted to the earphones, not being played in the public speaker.Waze does not behave like this. It plays the sound in the speaker regardless of the cable.
My request is to let the user configure, in detail, where the sound should go.
Output sound to:

Use car GPS aerial
In some cars the glass treatment screens radio signals making a GPS lock using the phone aerials difficult.
When using Android Auto using the car's GPS aerial rather than the phone would give a better result.
Google Maps seems to do this at the moment.
