I'd like to move the car icon out of the middle of the map in order to see more of the upcoming route and less of what's already passed
I'd like to move the car icon out of the middle of the map in order to see more of the upcoming route and less of what's already passed. Specially when using Navigation since it the ETA status window takes up a reasonable portion of the screen. For instance: if I'm driving southeast my car icon should be displayed in the upper left hand corner (when using True North mode) but the same applies when in the relative mode. Thanks

Report missing or incorrect speed limit while driving
I notice there are no option to report incorrect or missing speed limit while driving, I think you should be able to just like reporting a police. I have driven on many roads that Waze either report incorrect or no speed limit.

Please stop routing onto bike routes
I live in an area of the country with a lot of bike routes. Those routes are established on the assumption that they are low in auto traffic, or least generally local-only traffic. That seems to prompt Waze to guide me onto them fairly frequently during heavy traffic times, but in doing so this violates that basic assumption of keeping them low traffic.
As someone who bikes and drives regularly, I'd rather not see those routes grow in auto traffic as Waze adoption increases. If possible, please stop routing auto traffic onto those routes so that they can remain…

ETA on Carplay
Hi Waze team, any chance you can add a button to share an ETA on the Carplay layout? Current this can’t be done whilst driving.

More accurate gps
The only reason I do not use waze more often is that the nevigation is delayed. Unlike google maps I cannot see exactly where I am on waze there is a 15sec delay. This confuses me and makes it harder to navigate and drive at the same time. By the time I pass the turn the gps shows me at the turn.

Add Shazam to the Waze app
I love to use the Waze.app while I'm driving and especially on long road trips. But I find myself switching to Shazam whenever I hear a song on the radio that I want to identify and it can be difficult to switch back and forth between apps while driving on the highway. Can you add the ability to Shazam a song within the Waze.app and show the song title and artist on the map and if I click on it go to the Shazam app?
Thank you and keep up the great work on the absolute best mobile traffic and…

It would be great if the app worked with Libby or Overdrive apps, so that one could listen to audiobooks from the library while one drives.

Waze driving profiles
I am using waze while Driving my car and I am also using waze while driving my motorcycle.
While using my car, I do not use alerts. While driving my motorcycle I am using a lot of alerts because you cannot check your Phone so often.
I think a new feature using different profiles for different vehicles would be very nice for a lot of people2 votes -
Only report and show hazards / etc on your side of the road
When viewing the map or receiving alerts, add an option to only report items on the side of the road you are driving and/or you are routed on. As a "reverse commuter" I constantly see hazards on my route but they are usually on the other side. It makes viewing the map for issues very difficult, almost unusable.

Mute specific notifications at specific locations
I want to know about cars on shoulder, hazards on road etc but I want to be be able to mute specific alerts by location : I know there is a speed camera and pot holes on my normal route and want to mute those but not mute all other items for same items on the rest of my drive. Shouldn’t be an all or nothing alert system. Need a MUTE THIS NOTIFICATION FOR THIS LOCATION ONLY option.

Do 'waze to friend', nearest location for both parties
I wanted today to have my GF drop me something I needed.
So I kinda had to scroll down in the waze map to understand where should we meet in order to make her and my drive as quick as possible.
So, i just thought on this feature, if both parties using waze and agrees to it, waze will either A) Just give them suggestions for location that will minimize the driving time for both parties. B) Monitor online both parties until they meet, and update in the map, each one of the other's advances.
Took me a while to…

Notify nearby drivers of safety alerts such as headlights
I notice cars driving in the dark with day time running lights on. Their cars don’t automatically turn on their headlights and taillights but do turn on their dash lights. It would be nice to send them an alert and even instructions (especially if they are in a rental) to turn on their lights. It must be scary for them to drive with basic no headlights and it’s scary for me to see people drive without taillights. There can be other safety alerts such as the gas door open/ cap hanging. This would be an opt in thing to help…

Allow photo evidence of map errors
Allow photo evidence of map errors.
Sometimes trying to explain what error happened while driving is difficult to upload (while driving) and difficult to explain (after the fact) but allowing someone to upload a photo of the map when it is performing an error is much easier. It’s 2024. Why isn’t this a thing yet?

Contacts & Location Names/Labels
Instead of only finding “Facebook friends” add an option to “add friends” that are in your contacts (associated phone number(s)).
Like “Maps” on apple/iOS, we should be able to add places like “school” or “[insert name]’s house” even maybe “closest pizza restaurants”. Just thinking out loud I guess 🤦🏻♀️

An option to disable the ‘similar ETA’ options
I’m unsure if it’s a bug or what, but Waze has the feature where it will recommend alternate routes mid-drive if it’s a similar ETA or sometimes a few minutes faster. But recently it’s been consistently recommending much slower routes. Like a 20 minute drive where it highlights another option splitting off labeled ‘9 mins slower’ or ‘2mins slower’ not even similar ETA. It feels like clutter and useless for my drive since I would never pick a slower route that would add 50% more time to my drive, and it can be distracting from time to time.…

Rasta/Patois Voice
Hello Dear Waze Team,
My colleagues, friends and I are of the strong opinion that you should incorporate a Rasta-Patois voice in you fantastic App!
When you start the route it could be the usual:
Start-Up:
Jaaah Rastafari, welcome to the waaze app, only way to cruise on the righteous path to zion, following to footsteps of the lion. Bless up.Turns and the usual:
I and I a gonna turn left over eah.For police etc. don’t shoot this sherrif.
Contact me if you have any questions or updates on this being developed!!
Thanks

Add option to make restrictions visible similar to closures
This goes together with a suggestion on the WME side to add a check box in WME.
Since there is no easy way to add closures based on a schedule, there are times it would be nice to have restrictions that can be scheduled show in the app similar to a closure. That way someone driving without a route will have the visual cue like a closure.
