Add feature to differentiate between POLICE and POLICE SPEED TRAPS
Add feature to differentiate between POLICE and POLICE SPEED TRAPS
John Stephen Rymell john.stephen.rymell@gmail.com
21:34 (8 minutes ago)
to Waze-Customer-Support, supportI would like to ask for the following feature to be added to make things clearer for UK drivers.
Add an additional notification icon for use in the UK which will allow us to distinguish between POLICE and POLICE SPEED TRAPS. UK drivers don't seem to understand that the POLICE icon is for POLICE SPEED TRAPS, and not just for whenever they see a POLICE car, and as they panic every time they see a police car they want to tell everyone else about it, and so assume that the POLICE icon should immediately be deployed. This is confusing because it does not indicate the presence of a speed trap. However, in the UK we also occasionally encounter actual police speed traps, or mobile speed detection radar or mobile speed cameras. It would be good if you would add this extra icon for POLICE SPEED TRAP so that we are able to differentiate between the mere presence of POLICE and the particular presence of POLICE SPEED TRAPS.

Please give the ability to turn off the "carpool" button
The carpool button is the bane of my Waze existence. Whenever I pick up my phone from the little pocket area in the car and Waze is running, it triggers this "carpool" button. Then it takes both hands to swipe from the far left side of the screen to make it go away. I won't ever use the carpool function and would love to be able to hide it and stop this from happening. I know it sounds trivial, but it's maddening to deal with.

Android Auto localized voice search
When using Waze for Android Auto, I would like an additional voice search icon to be available at the search input box. This voice search should work the same way as Waze for Android voice search works.
This is especially important for languages where the Google Assistant language is not supported. It would also be useful to find destinations when going abroad and localized place names are in a different language than what is set in Google Assistant.
This would reduce driver distraction a lot in many regions of the world I think.

UR - add screenshot option
On a daily basis, users report some map issues (lacking precision) that we could not verify just by the UpdateRequest data in WME, or they just do not remember/know the names of the streets/landmarks to help us find and solve the issue. Most of the times, we, the editors, need to search a lot for things that could be indicated inside of Waze, without using third parties for posting photos and screenshots like imgur.com, Facebook, or our personal contact pages/phone numbers/emails.
A button for adding a screenshot could be useful somewhere in the message notification screen.

Alerts about approaching settlements
Hello! Please add the ability to enable alerts about approaching settlements. Often the signs of settlements can be seen at the last moment and you have to brake quite sharply. Some navigators have such a function. Conveniently, set the desired distance about the notification and you’ll calmly drive up, reducing the speed to that allowed in the settlements.
Russian: Здравствуйте! Добавьте, пожалуйста, возможность включения оповещения о приближении к населенным пунктам. Часто знаки населенных пунктов можно увидеть в последний момент и приходится достаточно резко тормозить. В некоторых навигаторах такая функция есть. Удобно, выставил нужное расстояние об оповещении и уже спокойно подъезжаешь, снижая скорость до разрешенной в населенных пунктах.

CarPlay update
Waze is super useful in car over my cellphone (iPhone)
However, once plugged into my car with CarPlay, the experience is worst that ever. In fact, the CarPlay interface of the app does not support all functions offered in the mobile version such as :
1. Unable to signify a fixed radar photo
2. Unable to specify the police specification (visible, hide, opposite side)
3. Unable to launch a SOS and so on
In fact, the types of available notices is so small.In addition, you can’t find a gas station easily as in the app cause you don’t have any shortcuts options even after pressing on the search button in the upper part of the screen.
Waze should update their CarPlay Experience ASAP by replicating the interface in the phone on CarPlay, so, by adding more options, adding shortcuts (gas, parking, etc) and by adding a new feature to find the cheapest gas station on our way to our final destination.
Thank you and please act accordingly,

Add H2 Hydrogen as Fuel Type
In Europe and California to name a few there is already a network of automotive Hydrogen filling stations available, and expanding. Sometimes these are stand-alone stations, sometimes in a combination with other fuel types. The Waze community should be able to add automotive Hydrogen filling stations on the map, both as a new location or at an existing gas station. The wazer should be able to provide price information on Hydrogen. Moreover the Wazer should be able to search for Hydrogen filling stations as he would search for a traditional gas station, including options along the planned route including price information. (this would fit in perfectly with existing gas stations functionality)

Mudança na tecnologia 3G deixa Waze "maluco" sem GPS, nos forçando a desligar o 3G de diversas operadoras do Brasil
Todos brasileiros que estiverem enfrentando problemas no GPS de seus aparelhos por culpa de mudanças na tecnologia 3G que as operadoras vem realizando de 2015 para cá, por favor somem-se a mim votando para que a Waze interceda junto às companhias telefônicas para corrigirem ou apresentarem alternativas a este problema.
A maioria dos usuários simplesmente vem deixando de usar o Waze, por acreditar que seja problema no aplicativo, quando o problema na verdade é algum conflito do GPS (qualquer outro app que use terá o mesmo problema) com mudanças que vem ocorrendo na tecnologia 3G.
Afirmo com segurança que o problema é no 3G pois assim que desativo ele no celular, ficando no modo Edge, o GPS volta a funcionar plenamente, PORÉM, com a troca de dados comprometida!
E afirmo que o problema decorre de mudanças DAS OPERADORAS por viajar pelo Brasil de carro e perceber que de um Estado para outro o GPS volta a funcionar!Aqui no sul do Brasil, estado do Rio Grande do Sul - RS, por onde ando o Waze fica "saltando" de localização ou perdendo o sinal. Então desativo o 3G e ele volta a funcionar, mas assim perde dados atualizados da estrada...
Mas, logo ao entrar no estado de Santa Catarina - SC, o Waze volta a funcionar perfeitamente NO 3G!!! Só que já enfrentei exatamente o mesmo problema estando em SC em outubro de 2015, provavelmente pela VIVO estar testando a mudança de tecnologia, voltando e mantendo a tecnologia anterior agora no final do ano.Assim, amigos, acredito que MUITOS OUTROS USUÁRIOS DE WAZE no Brasil (e talvez no mundo?) estejam passando pelo mesmo problema, mas culpando o App! Já localizei na internet alguns relatos de problemas semelhantes em SP, RJ, DF, tanto da operadora VIVO, quanto TIM e OI.
Então deixem seus comentários e votem para termos o Waze de volta à pleno vapor em todo Brasil, é só eles têm força para cobrar uma solução!!Todos brasileiros que estiverem enfrentando problemas no GPS de seus aparelhos por culpa de mudanças na tecnologia 3G que as operadoras vem realizando de 2015 para cá, por favor somem-se a mim votando para que a Waze interceda junto às companhias telefônicas para corrigirem ou apresentarem alternativas a este problema.

Áreas de Risco, postos de combustível e estacionamento
Sugestão para:
1-Permitir marcarmos área de risco. Vez ou outra o waze manda entrar em Comunidades e ruas perigosas;
2-Na configuração disponibilizar "mostrar no
Mapa", postos de combustível e estacionamentos.Sobre área de risco, essa semana uma atriz da globo teve o carro baleado com percurso numa área perigosa.

lock screen orientation
My screen is constantly flipping and tumbling while I'm on the move, making the visual map virtually useless. A simple option to lock orientation in the app would solve this.

Display the maximum speed for speed traps
It would be a great help to display the maximum speed allowed at speed traps. I don't know elsewhere, but in Brazil you have several fixed/stationary ones with a fixed maximum speed limit.

Visualize BEST TIME TO LEAVE for a given destination (red to green). Save time if you know the peaks.
Problem
You know where to go, but want to know what would be the best time to leave to avoid peak traffic.
At the moment you a ETA, which is nice to know but doesn't help you to plan.Idea
You plan a route, get an ETA and a option to choose the best time for leaving. Could be a color coded (green to red) 24h hour-by-hour "forecast" of expected travel time (graph or simple list). This could include current traffic situation for the next few hours, averages for the rest. Also the next 2 hours could be split into let's say quarters of an hour. Sometimes being 15 minutes late can result in being stuck in rush hour. It could calculate minutes/percentages you could save or you could spend in traffic.Benefit
- Wazers can save on travel time by choose their ideal time to leave.
- Other Wazers benefit from distribution of traffic over time - reduce the peaks, facilitate low traffic.
- @Waze: You want to save 5 minutes per Wazer each day by providing the best route. Save them another 5 minutes by enabling them to choose the perfect time to leave.What do you think? Any other ideas?

Rerouting dialog is obtrusive
When waze reroutes or changes ETA it pops up a dialog "Rerouting" or "Your ETA has changed due to ...". Especially the rerouting dialog is annoying as it obstructs a clear view of the map which you most likely need at that moment. A small spinner in the corner of your screen (maybe in the green nav-bar?) and the audible warning should be enough. Maybe a "Don't show again" button on those dialogs?

Turn by turn list directions
When using waze and android auto there is no way to see the turn by turn list of direction like when using the waze app alone. Also, my wife uses apple and carplay and as soon as she connects to waze via carplay her turn by turn list directions appear on her phone screen while the graphical interface of waze appears on the carplay screen simultaneously. Please provide a way to see the list of directions on android auto too. It is very important for planning a trip.
