Small bug
Hello, It seems that there is a small bug, that runs for a while now. After i setup a drive and all is good, sometimes if i switch to other app, or if i receive a call (full screen incoming call) the lower bar from the Drive screen (where the search is, ETA, how many km are till destination etc) turns into white color. Keep in mind that the drive is runing in the dark mode, so that white bar from below is really annoying.

have you ever thought about making a bluetooth remote for updating while driving
create a remote that has the most common updates on it - cop - vehicle on the side of the road - object in road - traffic. you would have to take your eyes of the road just hit the appropriate button for updating. updates would be more accurate and more people would participate in updating which it the whole point.

Easily change fuel type when searching for gas stations
I have 2 cars, one petrol and one diesel, and changing the fuel from one car to another is too complicated when driving, so I end up looking for the gas station with the best petrol price even when I'm driving the diesel car, and maybe that gas station does not have a good price for diesel.

way to tell waze I'm in the other parallel road
Sometimes waze tells me to enter the highway when it has heavy traffic and the service road I am is much faster. Then I disobey him, but it thinks I'm in the highway and keeps collection wrong data.
I think we you could have an option that when enabled and waze can't be sure in which of 2 parallel roads I am, I could tell him he got it wrong.
It must be a single touch in the screen to alternate between the roads, because I would be driving when it happens.
This way I would generate better data for…

prevent as well as report
Actually we can report several traffic problems on the roads traveled but the real goal for every Wazer is to avoid them.
Then allow us to add report from App always, tapping map on devices. Not only when we drive on that street but wherever we become aware of a problem to report. I wanna be promptly informed when I drive, I don't care from whom or what source. If a road is closed or there is bad weather or an accident and a home wazer is informed, I hope you can report it to me anyway, everywhere.2 votes -
Add Buttons
Its difficult to give reports when one is driving at 120 km/hr. Users must be able to add buttons, similar to speed reading on the screen, where once can report by touch of a button. One should also have option to drag and place these buttons anywhere on the screen
I would add following to my screen when driving.
- Report Car on Shoulder
- Report Pothole
- Heavy traffic
- police (visible / Invisible.7 votesLong tap on Report button brings up 3 the most common report types.

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.

Destination confirmation
. Destination always shown on map, may be on top of or in estimated time of arrival box, as a confirmation that correct destination has been entered? (Reason - sometimes Waze gives directions when driving that I personally would not have selected).

Route plan bug
Hello,
For at least 2 months there's a very very frustrating bug when trying to calculate a planned drive.
If you wish to calculate a drive for tomorrow and the route driving time crosses today's current midnight, then the calculation says "route to long, recalculating with new arrival day" - see attached screenshot.This recalculation loops and doesn't end and you need to wait for past midnight inorder to actually be in the next day and get a prediction for your drive in the following morning.
Annoying!
Why does it take you so long to fix this issue?

update alerts for other side of road
I would like to be able to update alerts on either side of the road as no longer there, not just the side of the road I'm traveling on. Just like how Waze currently asks if a hazard is still there if it's in my traveling direction, it'd be nice to be able to click on a hazard or alert on the opposite side of the road and delete it if it's no longer there or relevant.
Also, what happened to reporting hazards/traffic on the opposite side of the road after this newest android update? It's awful! It needs to…18 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

New UI Android auto
I use Waze in Android auto even when not navigating to particular point. I have it open all the time to see updates on the road such as risk, traffic or speed cameras :) After connecting wirelessly to Android auto I always get popup suggesting addresses where I want to go. I have to tap small X button to close because it is covering half of the screen. This is happening after latest update and it is really distracting when I already drive. Connection wirelessly to Android auto takes 15-20 seconds after start so I already drive. Not…

Feature of non-static Speedcams without approval from AM
There are two things that can be reported - Police and Speedcams. Police shows up immediately, but speedcams (according to the footnote) must be approved and a user will be warned about that only if driving with excessive speed. However there are non-static speedcams too. Most users are repoting them as a police trap, but this is actually a speedcam, and it is changing its location over time. Notifying user when driving with excessive speed is ok, but I think that notifyication about non-static speedcams should be in any case, for example if there is an error in a map…

Planned trip display date
This morning I woke up and decided to plan my long distance drive. Upon planning my drive, I was able to see the time to leave my location, but did not see the specific day to leave from my location. My destination is well over 40 hours. Just thought it could be cool to see the day to actually leave as well included with the time and reminder. As for the reminder you cannot view the reminding time until ten minutes before you leave. Not a critic just a heavy user of the app. Hope my ideas goes…

Traze
I just recently stopped at a rest stop during a 5-hour drive to get some food. When I went in, I only went to the bathroom, then left, because an entire middle school was filling it up. Traze would be an add-on to the app that allows people to see whether or not a rest stop is crowded (Get it, Trays?)

The ETA on the shared route (My Drive) website is no longer visible on older browsers
The ETA is visible only for a very short time before the map is overlaid. Older browser is the default browser of an older Android phone (Samsung with Android 2.3) and IE9.
Also tried the current Firefox and Chrome versions, and both are OK.

Show all "Unpaved" roads as brown, like "Off-road / Not maintained"
Waze should show all roads with the "Unpaved" attribute as brown, the same way the "Off-road / Not maintained" are shown.
It should not matter what the type of road is. If it is unpaved, it should be shown to the user.
This is especially a problem on private unpaved roads, where you cant even just go in to the WME and change the road type to "Off-road / Not maintained", as that would mess with the routing. Knowing the state of the road you are about to drive down should be an important thing, and is why people even…

occupied territories
For users in Israel it would be good to have an option not to drive through the occupied territories but to stay inside Israel, the default seems to be that waze suggests routes going through the occupied territories, even though many people do not accept their occupation and do not want to drive through them.
