Waze on windows for ARM
Hello, I hope you're doing well. I've been in logistics for a long time, and we've all alwasy used Windows tablets. Now, we have the Surface Pro 9 with 5G and Windows on ARM. Could you please consider releasing a version for Windows on ARM? This would allow us to use it while mobile, and it could become the only navigation app on Windows, potentially attracting a large client base.

Journey time <> motorway preference setting rather than avoid/use toggle
When motorbiking it’s often frustrating to be stuck on a motorway when the non-motorway alternative (for a large portion of the route) is equal or similar time.
It would be great to have an option to better blend the route. I.e a preference to non-motorway unless it makes sense for part of the route to be completed on motorway to make progress rather than the strict on/off toggle.

Hello Waze friends.
Hello Waze friends. My name is Oscar Martínez from Costa Rica, I am a waze user and I love it.
I want to share with you an idea, waze is very useful because it "knows" the best way to reach our destination. But sometimes the app gives us a map using a route unknown to us regardless of the type of vehicle we are using at the time.
One possibility for improvement may be to first ask ourselves what type of car we have and thus avoid difficult routes for our cars. For example, a very bumpy road with a…1 vote -
Kangaroo Alert Feature for Australian Waze Users
I’d love to suggest adding a new alert option for kangaroo sightings near roads. In Australia, kangaroos are a significant cause of vehicle collisions, especially around dawn and dusk. It would be incredibly helpful if drivers could mark kangaroo sightings or active areas on the Waze map, just as they can mark hazards or police alerts.
This could appear as a small kangaroo icon, notifying nearby drivers to slow down or stay alert. It would improve safety for both drivers and wildlife, helping reduce collisions, injuries, and road damage.
Since Waze already supports user-reported hazards, this would fit naturally into…

Small footprint car icon set on the iPhone
Could you please consider to either bring back or reintroduce small footpeimt car icon set. There was very basic set of a blue, yellow or green car set, that were smaller in size and for the smaller car screens they were very ergonomic. Now with the replacement of a larger versions, map screen becomes more cluttered, larger car icon takes more space on the screen and does not bring any value just distraction. When you try to glance to the screen while driving you see big car icon first and then trying to figure out what is around…

Be able to interface from your phone like Apple iPhone
I really like your app and use it every day. My frustration is that I use a Samsung Android smart phone (I am not a fan of Apple iPhone's). Apple play works very well with your app. You can control your app from the phone or the car interface (basically the car mirrors the phone). With Android play you can't control the app or view the app from your phone. All interfaces have to be on the car not the phone. Secondly if you use the app now on the car navigation screen (as I said) you can only control…

Add a “Kangaroo Alert” option for Australian roads

It would be incredibly helpful if drivers could mark kangaroo sightings or active areas on the Waze map, just as they can mark hazards or police alerts.

Shorten clicks needed for reporting hazard on road/on shoulder.
When driving, trying to press the multi-clicks needed to report on road/on shoulder hazard is frequently impossible. With many states having the "move over" law, having ample warning for vehicles on the shoulder is critical. Would be nice to be able to customize one or two buttons to put on the Home Screen that can be activated with one click.

Proposal for Drone-Based Navigation Feature in Waze
Dear Waze Management Team,
My name is Mehdi Shojaei, and as a loyal and frequent user of Waze, I would like to share an idea that could significantly enhance both the user experience and driving safety.
Nowadays, some modern vehicles (especially new Chinese models) have introduced an innovative feature where a drone is deployed to scan the road ahead and provide the driver with live, useful information. This technology ensures that drivers can stay informed about upcoming traffic, obstacles, or road conditions without being distracted or forced to make sudden stops.
I would like to suggest that Waze implement…

Houston needs waze help!
We are in Houston. Post-Harvey. With a large percentage of Houston's transportation having lost access to their cars or mobility resources. Our city is not built around public transport. Can you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE consider beta testing or opening the carpool app so that people in Houston can use it? Where I work (we have 50,000 people) coming and going every day, we could make a huge push for it. Please do consider!
1 voteThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Time restricted entry to UK roads
There are roads mainly in London, but increasingly around the UK, where there are restrictions on the times that vehicles can enter. This is usually during peak times such as school runs and LTN aka Low Traffic Neighbourhoods. Proceeding into these roads will result in a penalty as they are covered by ANPR technology.
It would be good to have a facility to add these restrictions.

Allow comments to be added to police reports (as it was before)
This use to be a standard feature. It should be added again. Stopped police vehicles tend to slow down traffic and actually create accidents. It is important to relay what is happening in the report (e.g. vehicular accident, speed trap, stopped car on shoulder, etc.) so as to help other Waze users navigate accordingly and to help protect other motorists.

Would like report icons to display when zoomed out further.
In v4.0, the minimum distance for icons to display has been reduced considerably from in v3.9. It is cleaner, which may be what you were going for, since a big design trend today is minimalism, but it comes with a loss in user experience.
As a user, I'd like to be able to see all report icons along my entire commute or a large part of at once, in order to minimize the amount if panning at a closer zoom, to easily hold the state of the entire route in working memory, and to easily compare alternate routes.

Wrong Directions Given
I contacted Waze because last night I was in a large mobile home park & kept getting directions to turn where there was no road, getting wrong distances to roads & destination. At one point I was in the middle of the road with no homes around & told I had reached my destination. I was also told that at an intersection. If I hadn't been familiar with the area, it could have been dangerous. There isn't enough distance time given for turning either.

Android Auto alerts highly intrusive, even dangerous
[On a knob-controlled UI]
Popups like “Police ahead”, and “vehicle on shoulder ahead” can be very intrusive. They seem to appear much earlier than before and there is no way to simply dismiss it without confirming or negating the alert. I would suggest that hitting the “Back” button should dismiss the alert.Responding to the alert is way too involved. When I get an alert, the “Still there” button is highlighted, however it is not the selected control. Usually, the Search button is. So, it looks like I can just click my knob to confirm the alert, but when…

Motorcycle mode.
As part of the list of requests for "Motorcycle Mode", I'd also like to ask that you add the following feature, something that has literally saved my life. Highlight "Objects on the road" hazards as a high level warning. By that I mean, maybe flash the danger on the UI, and have a different voice over warning. Normally warnings are "Vehicle on side of road". Those aren't a huge hazard, but objects on the road like a blown tire, metal flashing ..etc, are huge dangers for riders.
A great update to this would also be notifying other drivers that…
1 voteThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already has Motorcycle Mode included in the app. To change your vehicle type, tap Settings > Car Details > Vehicle type.
