  1. Weighted position marker

    I use 2D, north-up moving map displays. It would be better to not have my vehicle position marker in the center but weighted off center where I can see more of the map of where I am headed and not where I have been.

  2. Always show turns as text in addition to icons

    At some point, the turn by turn directions above the map in the app replaced the text that spelled out each state or county route number with an icon of the road sign. For instance, a turn onto Texas FM 1960 just shows the roadside sign, which is a solid white outline of the state of Texas on a black background, with the number 1960 written in black inside the outline. The entire icon on my car's display is a square maybe a quarter inch tall, which means the text--usually 3-4 digits--inside the outline of Texas is nearly impossible to…

  3. Provide opportunity for users to test before you make any "improvements"

    Recently an update was made in ROUTES display. It is worse than the original, and support team calls it improvement. When on "maps" it used to have color distinct separation, options were on top of the screen in smaller bubbles so you could click and see everything on one screen to select. Now first option is on the bottom in the big bubble, and you have to pull it up to see other suggested routes, which changes from map to list, so it's a lot of clicking back and forth. VERY user unfriendly. Not sure who gets these ideas…

  4. 2 major bugs affecting Carplay

    For many months now Waze has had 2 infuriating bugs in Carplay

    1) Stops dynamically rerouting if I try to check alternative routes. To get it to return to normal I have to close the alternative routes screen on my car's infotainment screen (OK, that's normal), but then I also need to pick up and unlock my phone so I can close the alternative routes display on the phone as well. Until I do that, Waze gets stuck following the highlighted route and stops rerouting if I deviate from the highlighted route. It took me MONTHS to figure out what…

  5. Speed Limit indicators on map

    It would add to safer driving to have speed limit changes show up as standard indicators on the map while driving, meaning seeing them approach just like any other indicator on the map.

    Current issues/reasons:
    1. In South Africa we have many areas where the speed limit road signs are missing. I count four that are missing on my daily route alone, and this is extremely dangerous with frequent sudden braking necessary immediately after realizing the speed limit has changed without prior notice.
    2. There are often speed cameras directly after a speed limit change, which is a nice little…

  6. Points of acceptance for individual fuel cards (DKV, ARAL, Shell...)

    It would be enormous added value for company car drivers if they could select specific gas stations or the acceptance points for individual fuel cards. It would be helpful here, for example, to be able to select the appropriate acceptance point (DKV, UTA, ARAL, Shell...) in the settings so that you can already see the suitable gas stations on the map while driving. In this context, it would of course also be great if I could choose at any location that I would like to fill up at an ARAL acceptance point, for example, and then navigate there. DKV, for…

  7. Feature Suggestion for Toll Payment Navigation in Malaysia Dear Waze Team, I’m Mr. Chua Wey Choong from Malaysia (User ID: RyanChuaaaaaaaa

    Dear Waze Team,

    Currently, when approaching a toll plaza, many drivers are unsure where the RFID, SmartTAG, or cash lanes are located. This often leads to last-minute lane changes, causing traffic congestion and, at times, dangerous situations.

    Suggestions for Improvement:
    Toll Logo on the Map

    When a driver is approaching a toll plaza, display a small toll logo on the map to indicate its presence.
    Alternatively, provide a small pop-up notification when nearing a toll.
    Lane Positioning for RFID Users

    Show a box displaying the approximate position of the RFID lane (e.g., "RFID is at lane 9/10") when a…

  9. UI Update For Better Visualisation Route Alternative

    There is a UX/UI design issue in the software after the update to version 5.11.5.1.
    Before this version, the route options screen was larger and better organized, allowing a complete, simple, and practical view of all three route alternatives after defining a route.

    After the 5.11.5.1 update, the route alternatives display became smaller and narrower, with larger fonts, forcing users to scroll through the reduced screen area in order to select a route while driving. Furthermore, to view more information about a route, it is now necessary to scroll to select it, click once to open it, and then click…

  10. Feature Suggestion: “Group Ride / Buddy Mode” for Safer and More Connected Travel

    To the Waze Team,

    Good day! I am a longtime Waze user, and I truly appreciate how your app continues to innovate in keeping drivers safe and informed. I would like to suggest a new feature that I believe would greatly improve the experience of many users, especially those who travel together.

    I would like to propose a “Group Ride Mode” or “Buddy Mode” where users traveling as a group such as friends, families, and motorcycle convoys can see each other in real time directly on the Waze map. Many riders and drivers often travel together, and having this integrated…

  11. Waypoints

    Would be great to have the option of refining a route by inputting waypoints. It is noted that there is an ability to input a single 'stop' but the time to that stop is displayed rather than the time to the destination - you need to tap the bottom bar periodically to check your destination ETA. So please include an option to input waypoints and to have the final desti ETA permanently displayed

  12. Improvement needed

    I was checking out waze and I was really impressed... I felt like the waze experience was incomplete without a proper feedback. Hence I decided to give you guys a few suggestions on it: 1) Pls include downloading of maps of a certain area or preferably offline caching of Entire maps. 2) I noticed that initially the direction of the heading was wrong 4 out of 5 times, thus why not included an optional magnetic correction as it will definitely remove this error.

  14. Automated Incident Emergency Detection & Location Screen Change and 3 type descriptor

    Unless it is your day job, and even then, most people faced with an emergency situation either as a victim or a witness, especially in a vehicle, will suffer immense rushes of adrenaline pumping around the body, any injuries invoke confusion as delayed shock sets in.

    Is there/ can there be any rapid single panic-proof (user option selected) - such as 5 second hold of fingers on the screen in two places simultaneously or gyroscopic sudden impact detection via phone or user holds max/min volume buttons at their max point for a duration (viz like Apple power down) - depending…

  15. Entry point should not be displayed as the finish line

    When I am driving around with waze I find it infuriating that when I type an adress the finish line is on the road, and I cannot see where is the actual house (on which side of the road) (and i not only am talking about house numbers) i also think it's a quite easy fix for you.

  17. Sleeping baby option

    Sometimes we leave the house at 1 pm to head somewhere 1 hour away but want the baby to sleep for 2 hours in the car so we drive around to let me him and use Waze to tell us when we would be there for 3 pm. A baby sleeping option I could tell it I want to be there for 3 pm and it would find me a route that would take 2 hours with minimal stop light/signs to get me there.

  18. The motorway sign next to the junction information on my 11" car screen is tiny.. The blue box with the mway number is really hard to read

    Everything easy to read except the name of the road when displayed on a turn off direction. Eg m25 when you see the turn junction cue... I can send a picture if you tell me where to share it

  19. Android auto direction on second screen

    On the Honda Civic, the directions (i.e. a picture of a roundabout with the arrow coming out the right point) appears on the other screen behind the wheel. Google Maps correctly interfaces with this, but Waze displays every roundabout as a full U-turn, take the exit you entered on. Could this be fixed?

  20. Resize directions box while connected to Android Auto

    After recent updates, the box displaying directions covers half the screen when connected to Android Auto. Please shrink the box, allow users to move it or resize it. It makes it difficult to see where you are going on the map sometimes.
