Make ETA and Remaining Time always visible when using Android Auto
Some alerts are shown over the ETA and remaining time box.
For me it is more important to have the ETA and remaining time always visible than receiving some of these alerts.
Maybe the ETA box could squeeze to the bottom of the screen when the alerts are shown.
It is very practical to have this information always visible when receiving a call or checking if it is possible to wait to use a better bathroom ahead on the road.4 votes -
Report response tap areas instead of buttons
I think the buttons to confirm or deny warnings (like roadworks, police or object on road) are too small. On bumpy roads, it’s easy to mistap.
Tip for Improvement:
Consider replacing the small buttons with larger, semi-transparent tap areas on the screen. For example, use the quarter bottom left of the screen for 'Yes' and bottom right quarter for 'No'. This would make it much easier to respond accurately while driving.2 votes -

Add report button in Waze to mark location to look at later in WME
Add a report button or a togglable on-screen button to mark the current location which then can be viewed later in the Waze Map Editor.
Currently users need to either create a UR or take a screenshot in order to remember the location to look at later in the Waze Map Editor.

road alerts popups at red light
Make road alerts more gentle. I mean, a big opaque window eats up half of the screen, and waze scrolls back and forth.
My idea:
* make the popup smaller (just pictograms, smaller fonts)
* make it translucent
* don't scroll, just zoom out a bit, and show the direction if it won't fit on the map (like a cartoon bubble)5 votes -
Incorrect Symbol in HUD and Widget for Roundabouts via Android Auto
Issue: Incorrect Symbol in HUD and Widget for Roundabouts via Android Auto
Vehicle: Smart #3 Brabus
Phone: OnePlus 13
Problem: When using Waze through Android Auto, roundabouts show incorrect navigation symbols in the car’s HUD and media widget. This does not happen in Google Maps.
The main screen shows correct instructions, but the HUD and widget display incorrect icons — often showing wrong turn direction or exit.
Please verify if the Android Auto metadata (like NavigationTemplate or TripInfo) is being sent correctly by Waze for HUD integration.4 votes -
Parking Entrances and Most Common Parking Locations
When driving to a destination, the street address does not always correspond to the street where you park. In the case of someone in a condo (like me), the garage entrance is at the side of the building, not at the front. The roads you take to the address is not the same as where you would go if you want the parking garage (some one way streets would require you go around the block).
While I could mark home as the side street, there are similar problems for retail stores, where because of divided roads, parking lots,…

The audio, which supports the information on the screen, should ALWAYS communicate in miles, and NOT minutes, concerning the next turn.
Communicating in miles is always accurate. Communicating in minutes requires assumptions, e.g., driving speed and absence of stops. You should always eliminate assumptions when you have the option to do so.

Ignore unintentional touch
Provide some way to ignore unintentional screen touches, for instance on a bumpy road and my finger touches the wrong spot. Also sometimes I miss the Report button so it’s interpreted as a location entry, and it takes me too long to recenter and hit the Report button so I’ve missed the opportunity to submit the report.

Weigh vehicle position to show more of road ahead.
Weigh vehicle position towards back of map to show more of the route yet to travel rather than center of map when in a north-up mode. Currently the cursor is in the center of the map showing much of the route you have traveled. This would make better use of the small screen to show what's ahead.

Make business names/logos in ads larger.
Besides placing the product in an ad, also insert the company or logo AND.. make them large enough to be seen on a small screen.
I'd like to help the Waze developers/company prosper by advertisers knowing their ads are seen.
Being crowned for several years now I've seen many, many ads, but only a handful of times been able to answer the question: "Have you seen this product/company". And by "a handful" I mean five times or less. In seven years and hundreds of thousands of miles.4 votes -

Notifications and Alerts
Hi team,
Great work on this service—really appreciate what you're doing! I have two suggestions that could enhance the experience:
Would it be possible to receive earlier notifications for speed traps?
Could we also get an audible notification for permanent speed cameras, rather than just having them displayed on the screen? Since it's not always possible to keep an eye on the screen, a notification would be really helpful.
Keep up the fantastic work!
Best Regards.

Show only Icons/Alerts next to me
Sometimes when I'm using Waze it shows too many icons/alerts on the screen! why not show these alerts just next to me rather all over the map? Thank you!

Ability to add on-device music players to the icon on the map screen
You currently only have the option to add subscription-type audio apps to Waze audio icon (Spotify, Amazon Music, etc).
Would like the ability to add normal apps to this icon too ... eg Musicolet, etc or even direct Bluetooth music playing.
Not everyone uses a subscription service to listen to music on device

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…
