  1. Increase selected button visibility on Android Auto

    When using Waze on Android Auto (new Mazda) the buttons are selected using the touch wheel. The selection is indicated by a thicker frame around the buttons. While driving, this marking is hardly detectable. Instead a more significant colour or cycling colour pattern would help to find the selected button.

    Another problem on my Mazda head unit is that it is nearly impossible to select the answer on the popup if a given event is still present or not. Using the touch wheel I'm hardly able to select yes or no, because the marking is not visible at all. This…

  2. zone de danger radar france

    Fixed danger zones are not displayed when navigation is not activated, unlike the Coyote or tomtom application where the zones are signaled until the end. "you enter a danger zone" and this disappears instantly before even passing a fixed radar. Waze must keep the alert throughout the area, even if the route navigation is not activated ( FRANCE )

  3. Speed Camera Distance Notification

    Using Waze on my iPhone 14 I have noticed that although the position of the camera relative to my car icon is correct & accurate, distance notification pop-up is always about 150-175 yards out. As I pass the camera the countdown continues from 150 yards to zero !!

    It's rather annoying that Waze is still showing the distance after I have passed the camera !! The location of the cameras are always correct relative to the arrow representing my car.

    Also tried Waze on my car android head unit, and see the same error.

    I have a screenshot of the…

  4. Speedometer and other features not displaying on iPad in landscape mode

    The speedometer and other features are missing on iPad when in landscape mode. This also includes the alert reporting feature. When you position the tablet in portrait mode, the speedometer and other features will show up just fine.

  5. Maximum Permitted Speed or MPS

    An important factor during a car trip is the "Maximum Permitted Speed or MPS".
    During a car trip, the MPS changes constantly:
    1) from 70 to 50, then to 90, suddenly to 30, then again to 70, 30, 70, 100, 90, 120, etc.
    2) The MPS aren't always the same type of traffic signs.
    I've noticed that I sometimes miss a traffic sign, and WAZE alerts me, for example, with an audible signal (thanks for that!).
    My gaze automatically shifts to my smartphone, which actually distracts me from what's happening or could happen on the road!
    That's why I'd like…

  6. Make text clearer

    In android auto, smaller text on the map is barely readable due to it not having anti aliasing and the text isnt even aligned correctly, so every letter has a 1-2 pixel height difference, and the text is also jittery.
    Please, fix this. In google maps, it renders really well even on lower resolution displays.

  7. No menu/No Nav – Allow use of Menu below 5mph and when stopped

    Love you guys … but … the latest update … not so much.

    Catch 22. My Android Auto doesn't startup Waze until I am moving forward and by that time the Waze Menu option is (now) no longer available. I then ask Waze to “Navigate to Home” and Waze responds with my Home address (BTW it is also saved), states “Oklahoma” (not “OK”) and then returns to “non-navigation”/map display mode. I also can’t get to the saved addresses. So overall, Waze mapping efficiency has dropped significantly.

    So whereas it used to be (2022) a simple “3-second button press sequence”; 1)…

  8. Speed changes - user cache

    Don't know if this counts as a bug or a feature request, please adjust accordingly.

    The issue surrounds changes in segment data and the user not entering a navigation resulting in sometimes the user getting wrong information about the speed limit, and the user may not understand why they see the wrong information.

    We get this an awful lot when a road has a speed limit change on Motorways and Dual Carriageways. When the speed changes, either to start, or to end, a construction project, we get UR reports from drivers with only a User Drive (GPS trace) and not…

  9. Exit box top Right corner

    Would you be able to make the small green box, displaying the EXIT number or letter LARGER? There seems to be ample room, where it would not block anything. Looking at a phone from a few feet away it isnt so clear. For example, get off at EXIT 13B and 138 can seem the same. And in general, the font seems to be a bit small.
    Thanks!

  10. Green Wave Zones

    Hello everyone! I really regretted that the Waze development team ignored the users request and did not develop to the Average Speed Zone (ASZ) remaining time slot indicator. I continue to support the idea that there should be indikator, some kind of speeding explanation is not appropriate here. If needed, the indicator can be rounded (e.g. like the EU required false speedometer displaing) or some other a bit fuzzied indication can be shown. However, it would now be a suggestion to take advantage of the built ASZ logics and use exactly the same functionality for the up Green Wave Zone…

  11. different color & voice on map to indicate the route is a overhead bridge

    sometimes there are overhead bridges that have the similar route as the road on ground. It is very confusing to look at the map. When we made a mistake and accidentally drive into the wrong lane (overhead-bridge/under the bridge) waze is still directing us to go further but the route is becoming more and more confusing because we are on the overhead/bottom, and GPS is showing only either one of it. GPS doesn't tell us we are on top of the bridge. so since we cannot change what the satellite see from the top. is it possible to color the…

  12. Traffic cameras combined with Waze live map for visual context

    Traffic cameras provide visual context for the roadway environment. Humans are visual and like to have visual confirmation. "A picture is worth a 1000 words". Favorite cameras can be included to provide information along a regularly traveled route. This will provide the Wazer with the opportunity to view conditions prior to committing to a route. Traffic cameras can be displayed along alternate routes.Traffic cameras can be enabled when a Wazer is stationary to avoid driver distraction.

  13. Update of alerts/incidents on the route based on the progress of the route.

    Update of alerts/incidents on the route based on the progress of the route. Currently, when you access the route view with the button on the right (up arrow), a start/end line with the incidents is displayed. But these incidents always appear from the start and not from the current point of the route. I think they should be updated, since alerts that have already happened can appear and confuse the driver.

  16. Improve route design to deliver clear direction

    So when we start the way, the route displays so complicated with too much colors that confusing me where to focus on. It seems like everything is highlighted. Even with the traffic sign, I didn't realize that it was showing traffic through little red lines outside of the route. I just hope the design of the map to be simple, direct, and clear. Just highlight the path or route that I am going with just one simple line using different solid color that shows if it's on traffic or not. Just like google map!

  18. Controls on phone when using android auto or carplay

    I'm a waze user paired with android auto device. I think it would be alot better if you are able to make it so you can control waze with your mobile device and see the map with android auto, google maps started doing this and it feels like waze is missing this opportunity. It would be great if you can end drives, start drives, see turns up ahead on the phone while using AA while the main map is displayed on AA

  19. Navigate toll roads even when pass not entered in settings.

    I live near the Georgia, USA, I-75 Northwest Corridor Express Lanes. When a user enters the Express Lanes without a corresponding pass in settings, Waze acts like the road doesn't exist and keeps offering turns as if they were on the main highway, going the opposite direction, on nearby surface streets, etc. After entry there are very few ways to exit the Express Lanes, and it's unhelpful to have suggestions to turn around or to exit from the main highway when you're in the Express Lanes. Perhaps Waze could recognize that the user is on the road, stop freaking out…

  20. Revert your latest upgrade

    Why have you destroyed a working App with this pointless upgrade that has introduced numerous bugs 🤷🏼‍♀️

    1) Cumbersome to now locate home/office as you need to hit the magnifying glass rather than the handy top left menu as on previous version.

    2) Reporting hazards is now a hazard as the interface is slow and cumbersome

    3) Previously saved addresses no longer work

    4) The speed I am driving at is hit and miss as to whether it is displayed.

    5)Big black boxes cover too much of the screen.

    I have downgraded my Google App rating from 5 to…
