Thank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already displays a speedometer, including both your driving speed and the speed limit for the road you’re currently on.

Integration between Waze and car features.
Some cars already have the integration between waze and its onboard system, I believe this functionality can be exploited in the best way.
How to apply the improvements:
Speed: If the speed is higher than the speed of the road, the application along with the car system changes the speed of the CAR in colors such as green (below speed), yellow (speed near the limit), red ( speed above the limit).Petrol Stations: Check the percentage of gasoline in the car and inform the nearest gas station (thus the propagation would be more effective, since…

Android auto - car head unit layout
I think the app layout when on the car head unit display should be split. (It has already been suggested in a post about low resolutions)
- A split display could make it a lot clearer, since with the current floating turn directions/menu, the map is partially hidden when your route takes you left (since the car icon doesn't have enough horizontal offset)
- A delimited box for the map could enhance its visibility.
- The instructions pane could take the whole height of the display and thus use larger fonts/icons or provide better overall readability2 votes -
Disabled forced turn by turn navigation on Android Auto when Waze is NOT the active app
Last year's update was unnecessary and locks Waze on your phone to turn by turn instructions, REGARDLESS of whether or not it's the active app on Android Auto.
That just makes no sense and users have so many different use cases.
My mounted phone (legal to have a phone mounted if being used for navigation in my jurisdiction and many others), is in a much safer line of sight than the dash in my car.
Another case of when product designers decide what's best for users instead of listening to feedback.

report menu icon is too large
The icon for report menu is taking up too much real estate on the 2D map, it is huge. (And this is very objective because I have a smaller than average screen and not the best eyesight.) This icon as well as the arrow icon could be smaller so as not to cover too much of the map screen. I like north up mode so icon could cover street or intersection or street name.

An option to select private coach/bus as vehicle (restricted speed)
Provide a vehicle option as coach/bus which is speed restricted and not allowed on certain roads

Route by average speed
Sometimes the app suggests a route with a shorter total time, but with a much greater distance than the other options. For example: 5 minutes less with 10km more. Therefore, I suggest showing the average speed (Distance/Time) of each option.

UK / Android camera notices need fixing.
UK camera call outs have gone to pot.
Static speed camera's are not 'Speed Trap's - a copper hiding behind a bush is a speed trap.
Used to get "speed camera reported ahead"; now a really brusque "SPEED TRAP ahead".
Average Speed Cameras are not true Speed Cameras and do not need calling out every 3 lamp posts.Can we also have the "Speed reduced ahead" warning back - really useful for the 70-40 mph drops.

I like to see more options regarding speed cam
I like to see more options reg speed cameras. Such as opt "other side" or "lazer speed cam" etc
1 voteThank you for your suggestion!
This suggestion will not be implemented for the time being. Adding more and more options to reporting, especially for less popular types of reports such as other side which will also require another window/card, is not something we are aiming for at the moment. Please be aware that other side reporting is already available by voice using the Google Assistant! We believe investing in voice can create essentially a better and more scalable experience and we hope to bring it to more languages soon.
Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram. -
have a "slow vehicle" type with a CUSTOM TOP SPEED
I drive antique vehicles which are often slow but i don't mind driving on highways so dont want to check "avoid freeways", i would just like that the navigtion algorythm takes my top speed (50mph for one car 65 for the other one) into account when calculating the route.
this could be set in the "type of vehicles" menu, select "special" and have a customizable "top speed".
then, even on a 80mph road, waze would only consider i'll make 50 and maybe reroute me on a shorter path !
If you want to go further you could even set…5 votes -
School zone camera speed trap Lawtey, Fl. No flashing lights. 20 mph. Can't read times on sign when driving.
Lawtey, Fl. is operating an unethical school zone speed trap at the light on US 301. There are NO flashing lights and the zone times are impossible to read when driving by at the posted speed of 40 mph. Speed limit drops to 20 and is camera enforced. Ticket for $100 arrives 2 weeks later. If Lawtey was truely concerned about student safety, they would install flashing lights. Their primary objective is to defraud unsuspecting drivers and Lawtey has a long history of being a speed trap.

Option to disable road ahead for users with Android Auto or Car Play
During my reports I received one complaint that a user who doesn't use the Waze app directly cannot cancel out Waze recalculating them back on the main road, if there was an ability to quickly x out a road ahead as one of the choosable icons on the screen (Maybe an icon with a picture of a crossed out road which will tell Waze that the next segment is not an allowable route and should be recalculated), that may be safer and more preferred to give users with Android Auto and Car Play an option so that they don't have…

Improve the Android Automotive version.
I would like the Waze version for Android Automotive to be as good as the mobile version, in addition to adding some options that are necessary while driving.
1-In the Android Automotive version, the radar alerts do not emit any sound, making it completely useless, as you won't be looking at the screen continuously while driving.
Moreover, the other alerts only emit a notification sound, and when it sounds, you have to look at the screen to know what danger is approaching, diverting your attention from the road.
All alerts should be like in the mobile version, with…

The option to be able to mark speed bumps or potholes on the map for yourself or for everyone
Mark for yourself or others the areas where there are speed bumps or potholes to reduce speed in advance before reaching that area marked on the map and be careful, since in Mexico there are many speed bumps that are not marked, in addition potholes are common, and the fact of being able to reduce speed in advance would make many drivers take better care of their vehicle.

Android auto direction on second screen
On the Honda Civic, the directions (i.e. a picture of a roundabout with the arrow coming out the right point) appears on the other screen behind the wheel. Google Maps correctly interfaces with this, but Waze displays every roundabout as a full U-turn, take the exit you entered on. Could this be fixed?

It would be helpful if the current speed and the permitted speed could be displayed larger in the top right corner of the carplay display,
It would be helpful if the current speed and the permitted speed could be displayed larger in the top right corner of the carplay display, or if their size could be adjusted on the carplay display. Often, both speeds are difficult to read because they're too small.

Make Waze compatible with AndroidAuto Coolwalk.
Waze is not yet working on full screen with Coolwalk beta of Android Auto. Google Maps is doing that already.

Option to turn off alerts for speed cameras on regularly traveled roads
It is helpful to have speed camera alerts on roads you’re new to or rarely travel on.
However it’s disruptive when you get alerts for speed cameras you regularly pass while commuting.
Using basic pattern recognition software on regular routes drivers could be provided the option to turn off camera alerts for the specific route(s).
