  1. The WP app needs to be updated. Make functional: additional voices, Facebook/friends feature, landscape view.

    The app is great on other devices, but is in need of refinement on WP 8.1. The app does not properly download additional guidance voices (on Terry Crews it stayed at 0 percent for weeks), the social/friends link just goes back to the main Waze screen, the app is locked in vertical position--which is not optimal; and the gas feature (including reporting) doesn't work at all. Ideally, this app should mirror the other devices in terms of functionality--it would be heads and shoulders above the default "Here" app.

  2. more screenspace ahead of the car in 2D mode

    while driving in fixed North=up mode and in landscape the client could position the car/current location icon so that there would be more screenspace (and thus more useful information) ahead and less space (and thus much less useful information) behind the car

    Now available  ·  krankyd responded

    I believe this was resolved in Version 2.2. There’s more screenspace ahead while in navigation.

  3. Remove permanent "where to" and "my Waze" fields when phone is horizontal.

    I use Waze with my phone in a horizontal/landscape position. All is good if I set a location target and use Waze to guide me to it. But I sometimes I like to see the traffick volume without setting a destination. In this mode, Waze takes up a third of my map display with the "where to" and "my Waze" fields. I should be able to turn those off or they should auto disappear.

  5. Alert events pop up is too big in new version

    The alert events pop up in new waze version is too big if you are using the landscape mode. This is making hard to see the map in front of you.

    Balloon pop up of older version in right corner was much better.

  6. Speak command icon near report a road condition.

    I use my iphone in landscape mode and wave and 3 fingers don't work safely. A button on the main nav page near the report icon would be great to initiate the speak command

  8. Allow button layout editing

    When my phone is in landscape mode the compass button is partially over the report button, and the "Where too?" Search bar is taking up most of the screen

  9. There is a major bug in the latest version of Waze. The arrow will not centre anyone when in landscape mode. Please fix ASAP.

    Major bug in the latest version of Waze. The arrow refuses to center correctly and always cuts half of the map off from the right side. This issue makes the app practically unusable so until it is fixed I’ll need to go back to my trusted TomTom app.

  11. Reduce height of Warnings bar

    Using Waze landscape on Android speed camera warnings etc cover up speed indicator, could be half the height, very frustrating and turned off all the warnings.

  12. Bring back classic map view (ie. the magnifying glass and no “my Waze” and search bar. It is intrusive and takes up too much map space).

    Please revert back to the classic map view. This new map layout is impractical and takes up way too much valuable map space when viewing in landscape mode. The magnifying glass instead of the two massive bars (My Waze and Search) was a far more effective use of screen space. At least give us the option to hide one or both of them.

  13. Zoom level resets after waze shows alerts while stopped

    If I'm driving and set my zoom at a certain level and stop, waze shows nearby alerts... great! But when I drive again my zoom level is not what I've set it at. Also, please make the app show the alert on the side of the screen and put the pinpointed alert on the other side while in landscape mode. Sometimes an alert is useless without seeing it and currently the warning covers the map!

  15. Map Colour Choices

    The current WHITE or GREY map colour choices are awful and ******* the eyes. Having a nice beige or light green colour for landscape would greatly improve Waze, especially if the roads were white. But other users may prefer other colours, so I good range of map colours would be very beneficial.

  16. Message alerts settings

    In the new version of Waze, when the phone is landscape, when a warning is shown (radar, stopped vehicle ...) it's appear on the top of the screen, avoiding the visualization of what is to come in the path. The suggestion is to allow set where to place these alerts. If the phone is in an horizontal position, would be more useful than alerts go out to the right or left of the screen covering part of the side and not the way to go.

  18. velocímetro tapado

  19. Speed indicator

    When the phone is in landscape mode, the speed indicator can be sometimes hidden by the lanes indicator when it pops up.
    Is it possible to put the speed indicator on the foreground or move it when it is hidden under another object?
    Thank you
