Android Auto - Settings icon
Hello.
I use Android, everything is up to date. When I get in and start the car, Android Auto starts and there is a settings icon in the Waze application. While driving, this icon disappears and after stopping the car it is not visible. So when I want to set something, I have to disconnect and reconnect when the car is stationary. I understand that some settings are not allowed while driving, but they could be visible.

Red light timer
I propose a button that can be toggled to pop up when on surface streets, it is a simple light that you tap once to turn red, and again to turn back to green. The idea is you would press it when you see the light change, which is not necessarily when you stop or go. What this would do is help Waze better understand how long in various traffic scenarios a red light will take to get through. In some traffic, you may switch the light from green to red and back multiple times. This will also give an…

Simplified UI for logging common hazards
The idea is to reduce the number of clicks needed for "common" tasks. For example, I mostly use one of the three traffic levels for my side of the other side as well as vehicles stopped on the shoulder, again for both sides. If clicking the Hazard pin popped up this list as simple icons first, it's two clicks to complete any of those common tasks. There could still be a "more" option for other details and if it's a editable list then it could be customised per user.

New map face display
My vote is to go back to the old map display. We’re only the route you’re taking is highlighted or colorized. All these colors on the map display gets very confusing specially, when you’re traveling down the highway at 60, 70 and yes even 80 miles an hour you got to be able to look real quick and now you have to stop and kind of look at it. Sorry if this doesn’t read well, but I am using voice display. Thank you.

Driving with friends
I usually travel with my friends, each one with his own car, and we like to stick together. It will be useful if we can create a group of friends in app, to share a route for everybody to follow, to see the live location of every member of the group, to see their ETA to the meeting point, to alarm the group if something happens, to see if I leave the group's original route, to call the group for a rest stop.

Discontinue the Still There question!
Please discontinue the Still There question! Not sure exactly when this started but I have been using Wayz daily for almost 10 years and only noticed this popping up recently. It's not necessary! And it's distracting and blocks the direction info. Who cares if we are there or not. Of course we are there! You have to be there to click "Not there!". Please please either stop this or at least make it optional. If it is optional, please let me know how to disable it. Thank you.

Improper hazard alerts for vehicles parked on road shoulders
some roads have shoulders on one or both sides. We know that these areas are not traffic lanes, but are intended for vehicles to stop or park temporarily. However, every day, no matter which route I take, I keep receiving the alert “hazard reported – vehicle stopped.” I can see that people are reporting this incorrectly, since a vehicle stopped on the shoulder is not a hazard. This alert should only appear when a vehicle is stopped on the actual lane, truly obstructing the way. Therefore, I believe this warning should only exist for cars blocking the road, or it…

Send Help for someone else
Create a Send Help Button that alerts authorities or entities to the fact that someone is Broken down and needs help. This feature would allow others to click a button to send some help to a person stuck on the side of the road, when the person trying to help does not feel safe pulling over in the area where the help is needed. Or if the person trying to help is someone who feels uncomfortable in the situation and does not want to stop but wants to help. A Good Samaritan button

Adapting the application to an obstacle on the way, for example a garbage truck
Garbage removal trucks drive through the streets of the city every morning and sometimes cause traffic jams and travel delays because they enter streets where there is no stopping place that does not disturb the other drivers on the road (at least in Israel). I suggest that there be a function in the application for garbage truck drivers to be able to set their route and thus the Wize can direct the other drivers not to pass in the same place for at least 10-15 minutes so as not to get stuck in traffic

Peter Russell
Im requesting the address be displayed at the top of the navigation app until the user has completed the stop. Currently you cannot see the address your trying to locate “on screen” only if you remember the address in your head or if you go over the your “recent address “ listings. Sometime its hard to see the numbers on the houses so this feature would really help me locate addresses rather then slow me down and also risk myself of getting in an accident since I’m staring at the app to remember what address I’m looking for. Thank you

The search function in your app sucks. SO BAD!!!
And your app only says something went wrong when trying to report a problem. I've tried entering this on my phone 5 times. It NEVER works.
STOP MAKING ME CHOOSE FROM 5 PARTIAL MATCHES OF A SPECIFIC ADDRESS I JUST ENTERED!!!! JUST NAVIGATE TO THE ONE I TOLD YOU! AT LEAST LET ME SEE THE FULL ADDRESS I JUST GAVE YOU. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO PICK FROM THREE ADDRESS THAT only SHOW AS "123 Main St" WHEN THEY ARE SEPERATED BY 100 TO 500 MILES!!!! FIX YOUR DAMN SEARCH FUNCTION!!!2 votes -

Add ad
When you click on an advertiser -- you have option to "add' stop to your route and not to replace your existing route.
If I see an advertiser and decide to stop and click on the link, I am still on my previous route and would like to "add" in the new stop (just as we can do on our own) versus replace the existing route. A bit frustrating to have to re-initiate pre-existing route just because I selected the option to visit an advertiser's establishment.

Indications regarding the police
I am very pleased about the alerts of the app, however there is one alert I would recommend to eliminate: proximity of police. It may be that with this alert we are providing very valuable information to criminals that will be very happy to avoid facing police officers, even avoiding police controls displayed to stop such criminals. In the same way these alerts provide a heads-up to drivers that may be driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, under excessive speed or with non appropriate vehicles. I do not endorse providing these alerts because of the mentioned shortfalls. Thank…
