Report menu redesign
Nowadays reporting menu is not fluent enough to use while driving, especially when reporting hazards, due to heavy use of text in the menus Latest update even made the font smaller...
I feel that hazard report menu should contain icons in the same matter the main menu uses them. Meaning: car, animal and anything else should have an icon describing. Thus, making the reporting duty during driving a hell of a lot easier. Same goes with the lane choice for the report (you can barely see those tiny arrows there).5 votes -

Audio ducking (lowering volume)
Could we kindly request the option to disable audio ducking, similar to other maps? I would prefer to manage the volume myself and not have music or audio automatically muted. This happens when both audio for Waze and music/audio books are played from the car speakers. I do not have the same issue with Google Maps.
Thank you for considering this request.

In app widget
A great feature would be an in app widget for reports. Let the users choose a report shortcut to be added on the map. Just push one button of choice to send a report. It would be much better for safety.
My reports consists mostly of car on shoulder, I’d love to add a shortcut for that on my map.6 votes -

Option to show gas stations/restaurants/highway stops on the route (also from Android Auto)
On Android Auto it would be so nice to have a feature to search for the
nearest fuel stations/restaurants/highway stops around the route.
This feature exists on almost any built in car navigation services.7 votes -
use phone speakers setting problem
I have set Waze to use my phone speakers, and NOT the car's bluetooth speaker. But when I use the car's bluetooth speaker, Waze gives driving directions via the bt speaker instead of the phone speakrs. This disturbs important phone conversations or listening to music. If I configure Waze to use phone speakers, it should work exclusively with phone speakers! Please fix! Tks in advance!

Add/Remove Categories for Map Editors
There are quite a few missing "obvious" categories, such as Self Storage, Tobacco/Vaping shop, Headshops, Equipment rental (Not just car), Towing service, Motels (Even though you have hotel) etc.
There are also a few redundant categories, like "Pool" and "Swimming Pool".
A little help, Waze team?

Pointer arrow options for different vehicles
Hi team! Love the app I have one suggestion for future update: with the current version we cannot change the blue car, can we get different arrow options to choose from? Maybe sports car, truck, spaceship, tractor, boat, police car, limo, Android auto arrow?

maximum speed
I use waze with different vehicles so that the
personalized ETA is still wrong when changing from car to moped. Entering a maximum speed for my current travel or for each vehicle type would be very useful.7 votes -
Self service Adblue on road for VL
Adblue is now mandatory on many diesel VL.
I suggest to add the possibility to indicate that the car ask for adblue.
We could find a gas station who have a self service adblue on the map or on the road to our target.5 votes -

Apple Play in car
When connected to apply play, you do not have the option to notified cops on the other side and you do not have the option to say no turn allowed due to event or construction. Those options are only available when not connected on Apple Play. It’s frustrating because the same options are not available on Apple play connect. So I end up flagging the map as you cant turn at all then you guys email me and tell me what’s the error on the map. Well, the error is you can’t turn because of construction or an event but…

Mark parking permit
I live in a big city where a parking permit is used. I would like to mark the streets where the permit is valid. An idea is to fill in the streets names where I can park, and mark them with a color on the map. After the street names are filled in, the map will show me if it's allowed to park my car of not.

switch car types in iOS
Hi, I’m using Waze both with my private car and with my motorcycle.
In Israel, the vehicle type actually affects the routing itself (motorcycles can legally use different lanes and routes), so switching quickly is very important.
Right now, every time I want to switch the vehicle type, I need to go deep into the Settings → Navigation menu, and it takes multiple taps.Is it possible to add a faster way to switch vehicle type?
For example:
• a quick toggle button on the main screen
• a Siri Shortcut / Shortcuts action
• or a URL scheme parameter…1 vote
