Loading Status
I find that usually waze appears to load quite quickly, but will then freeze intermittently and loosing GPS lock whilst actually finishing 'loading' (Contacting server etc). It would be good it some form of message or progress bar could be shown so that it is obvious that it is still loading and not actually frozen

Request to Strengthen and Actively Develop Waze for the Indian Market
Am writing to express a strong interest and concern regarding the current state of the Waze application in India. While Waze is technically available for download, its functionality and effectiveness in India are far from the experience offered in other countries such as the UAE, the United States, and several European regions, where the app performs exceptionally well.
Having personally used Waze in countries like the UAE, I can confidently say that it delivers superior real-time navigation, community-driven traffic updates, and smarter routing when compared to other navigation platforms. Unfortunately, in India, the app does not currently operate at the same standard, which limits its adoption and usefulness despite significant demand.
India is a rapidly growing market with a large population of young, tech-savvy, and advanced users who are eager to adopt smarter navigation solutions. Many of these users recognize that Waze, when fully developed and actively supported, can be even more effective than Google Maps—despite Google being the parent company of Waze.
I firmly believe that with focused development, community engagement, and localized improvements, Waze can become a major success in India once again. I would be genuinely interested in contributing to this effort by sharing practical insights, real-world experiences, and ideas that could help improve the app’s usability, accuracy, and community participation within the Indian market.
This is not merely a suggestion, but an opportunity to collaboratively rebuild and strengthen Waze’s presence in India—hand in hand with users who truly believe in the platform’s potential.
I kindly request your team to review this feedback and consider initiating active development and improvement efforts for Waze in India. I would be glad to engage further if there is an opportunity to collaborate or share detailed input.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your response and to the possibility of working together to bring Waze back as a powerful navigation solution for India.
Warm regards,

Notify when rest rooms at rest stops are closed
Driving today 2 rest stops had the bathrooms closed for construction. One had a sign on the highway. One did not. If Wazers could share that information, it would save getting off and on the highway.

Incorecct use of waze
People are starting to tag speed cameras daily in areas where no speed cameras are. This is so they can just try control traffic for their own personal preference. There should be a function to report suspicious use of the app and with enough mis uses they get blocked for a period as warning than blocked long term if they continue.

I’d love to see enhancements in Waze around routing options, voice directions, and app responsiveness. Sometimes routes don’t account.
I’d love to see enhancements in Waze around routing options, voice directions, and app responsiveness. Sometimes routes don’t account for closed/restricted roads or HOV/toll preferences correctly, voice directions are inconsistent, and certain app features or settings fail to respond. Even after basic troubleshooting (restart app/device, check permissions), the issues persist. Improvements in these areas would make Waze more reliable and user-friendly.

Toll Roads - Variable Toll Avoidance
Summary: An additional check box in navigation in settings, that turns off variable tolls only leaving the Tolls that don't change prices.
I'm surrounded by Toll roads in DFW, but they have these awful Toll roads that change to be like 20$ on Friday's after work. basically taking advantage of busy times to squeeze money out of us. I don't mind using the toll roads that I know the price of, the ones' with fixed pricing. But these drive me up a wall, so I usually end up setting it to show tolls and then if I see the toll road is digital I'll skip entering it and travel along side it. The only issue is that sometimes by not entering it I'll miss the ability to turn in that direction, because even though the toll road continued straight I was supposed to take an exit a mile back.
Plus, there have been multiple times where had I taken a different route I would've got there faster, but because it lumps all tolls together, I end up in a situation where I either take the toll road or add an extra 20 minutes I could have avoided by choosing another route. I'm starting to get to the point where I'll set tolls to off and then just ignore the directions and get on the fixed toll road whenever it comes up to re-calculate it... it's a flawed method but kinda all I got right now.
Plus whenever I use waze it'll combine these fixed prices with the variable priced tolls and just give me no information on the toll amount of the ones I'm actually using. I.e. it does not calculate toll prices. But if my route only takes place on fixed roads it'll tell me how much exactly. So you must have some sort of system that splits the variable tolls and the fixed tolls already, I just ask that we be able to apply that to a search function or settings option.
Thank you

Better lane guidance
I like the idea of lane guidance but I would like it if it says stay in this or that lane instead of saying continue straight with arrows pointing up just like what Apple Maps does for example so that way people aren’t cutting across lanes of traffic which I see all the time and that includes turning left or right onto an intersection wether it has a traffic light or not I noticed Apple Maps for example says stay in the middle or left or right lane I would really like it if waze does what Apple Maps does and it would really make it a lot easier

Adjustable daytime/nighttime mode setting
So currently the app may not actually switch from daytime mode to nitetime mode with apples default dusk/dawn settings, however an options to choose how long before sunset or after dawn the app switched to/from daylight mode would be good. As an example the light controls on my Hive lamps and bulbs allow me to set them to come on/go off up to an hour before/after sunset or sunrise.

Latest Waze app versions on Android make car position and route useless
Dear support,
For a while the split screen in Android is not the best way to use Waze. The location and route are hidden.
I have been using Android Head-Unit since 2021 and the best application for navigation was Waze for some time, till sometime last year when an update broke the rendering with notifications and now completely put my car position and route outside the display. I usually use split-screen as the display is shared between Waze and another application.
Previously (last year), the car position and route was hidden by messages, but after canceling the message, I was still able to see the route.
Now, the car position and route are outside display, making the application useless
If we compare it with Google Maps for example, you will see what I am talking about. On Google Maps the car position and route is visible and centered, but on Waze, the car position is on far right, behind the report button.
If the Waze is the only application displayed on AHU, everything is okay, even if the position and route is pushed far to the right. However, I would expect the speed and the speed limit to be more visible and to the left + the car position and the route centered and not covered by any message. Now the messages are displayed on the left side, just above the route details and are not interacting with car position and route.

Stop button
Can’t always get out of Waze. Sometimes have to turn my phone off and then back on to properly exit the program. It’s a a pain and I can be walking around for days without Waze working in the background long after I’ve arrived at my destination.
